Am I remembering correctly that Dawn of Mana has, like, the most depressing loving story? I recall the ending to that game being miserably bleak. And in retrospect, it kinda made me wonder if it was supposed to be an origin story for SD3's Dark Prince.

lezard_valeth posted:It was. Or at least I remember so? I played this way back in the PS2 around Yeah, I remember literally everyone other than the protagonist bites it, and the latter half of the game is him crying and euthanizing his loved ones, then he returns home to his desolate and empty village. Happy ending! Deffo seems like a villain origin story. A lot of people say that Stroud from that game somehow survived and became the SD3 Archdemon, but honestly, it's gotta be the protagonist.

I streamed Secret of Mana co-op a few years back (which was a beautiful, hilarious trainwreck), and that game's second half is absolutely unfinished.

Mana continuity is incredibly weird. We got Goremand and Isabella both showing up in Sword of Mana, we have a Lore Vandole who was ultra powerful and a Secret of Mana Vandole who was bitch, and we have Stroud showing up (as a different character?) in Dawn of Mana. Speaking of Dawn of Mana (a not-great game with some great music), holy gently caress is it depressing. That game's got one of the most "gently caress you, everything is terrible" endings I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of fans say that the Stroud in that game becomes The Dark Prince, but that doesn't really make sense because he dies. However, the protagonist of the game is technically royalty, and like the Dark Prince, he did kill the previous Archdemon. And since that game is basically about him losing literally everything in his life, I've always thought that it could work as a villain origin story. I wonder if the Trials remake will lean into any of that, seeing as how they're trying to tie stuff together with Anise.

Folt The Bolt posted:I've gotten some of it from listening to others who have, and have seen the datamined information on the pastebin myself. For example, Black Rabite exists and gives you a Chain Link Ability for beating it. There are more story-dependent Chain Link Abilities than I expected, and the way we're getting some of them are... interesting to say the least. Do we have confirmation on Anise/Medusa as true final boss?

Duran can heal, right? If so, I'll go Hawkeye, Riesz, and Duran. I feel bad for abandoning Kevin, but I want to do the characters in their proper pairs, and I don't want to listen to Charlotte on my first playthrough.

Why did the difficulty skyrocket during the siege of Laurent? Those bosses were, uh, something. Is there any way to make sure my AI party members don't immediately run back into the blast radius when I try to move them out of the way of an AOE? They seem suicidal. Also, I picked Hawkeye, Riesz, and Angela. Did I pick, like, the one combo that gets no healing spells? On the Dark Prince route? Because if so, oof.

I wish Kevin sounded more like he did in my head back in the day. He was more of a guttural caveman then. But I'll say again, I cannot get enough of Angela. I find all of her dialogue and delivery to be loving hilarious.

Anise's Stockade sucked, but I'm finished. Don't know if I'm gonna try to beat Anise three more times, as I'm not sure I'm ready to do NG+/another party just yet. But I did take down the Black Rabite. Said bunny didn't kill me, but Anise did because of her loving mass petrification. Seriously, I got like 3 game overs in my entire playthrough and they were ALL due to that poo poo.

The Gunslinger posted:I just started with Angela, Hawkeye, Riesz and didn't realize that I have no healer. It's my first time playing this and I just want a chill experience. Should I restart with Duran or Charlotte included or will I be fine without a healer in the party? So far the game is showering me with healing items but I don't want to spend half of the game in the item ring when enemies start doing real damage later on. I had the same party combo and beat the game yesterday for the first time. It's doable. Just stock up on candy and chocolate and cups near the endgame, just in case. My only game overs were due to petrifications, not real party wipes.

Hell, I loved SoM when I was younger but I can't play it now because of the way the attacks work so I can't imagine how annoying Legend would be. Dawn of Mana was officially Seiken Densetsu 4, and was titled as such in Japan.

lezard_valeth posted:re: the story talk a few pages back regarding the Mana games, personally I really liked the story in Dawn of Mana and think it's pretty solid story telling. Is there a reason why Dawn of Mana's story is so goddamn cruel to its protagonist? Seriously, he loses his village, his best friend, his girlfriend, his faerie, everything. Kid's got nothing to go back to once it's all over, and there's not much to mitigate his losses or give him any sort of meaning. It is a Naked Snake level of villain origin story. I always liked to think that he became the Dark Prince/Majesty, but that's very likely not true.

Dawn of Mana's soundtrack is so good it should be illegal. Anyway, I always thought the main character could be The Dark Majesty since they were both abandoned princes who slew the Archdemon.
