Trials of Mana

Having been completely unable to make it more than an hour into secrets of mana I went into Trials of Mana skeptical- I only picked it up because Riesz's design pretty lol. But I am so glad I did- the world is beautiful and well crafted and its just a relaxing game to play. Gameplay is simple, a child could easily play this game without problems, but some fights will give you trouble for sure. The story likewise is simple as well but in a well done, enjoyable way and I can already see the appeal of playing again with the other 3 characters. Only encountered one very minor glitch when some enemies got stuck on a ramp in the final wind dungeon area thing but I managed to jostle them and it was fine :) I will say though, the voice acting can be a little rough in places.

My wife Riesz looks beautiful, heck yea. Recommended. They really put a lot of effort into making this a truly fresh and modern version of the 1995 SNES original. Unlike the disappointing Secret of Mana remake, which merely slapped a coat of 3D paint onto the 2D base game, making things look worse in the process, here we actually get an impressive, complete reimagination of the game and a full transition to 3D. Character and enemy models look great, and the music stays 100% true to the original, which is a very wise choice. You can even switch to the original SNES soundtrack if you like, but the rearranged one is amazing as well. The updated point system lets you invest your exp points to unlock stat boosts, magic spells, and – new to this game – abilities. Abilities in particular open up A LOT of new ways to customize your party, adding on to the game's already massive replay value in a big way. Experience is also gained a lot faster now, pretty much removing the need to grind levels from the game; a very welcome QoL upgrade. Combat is a bit mashy, which won't be everyone's cup of tea (although I suppose you could say it's true to the original game). I can see some people getting bored or annoyed with it, but as for me that hasn't happened in 4 years and probably never will. Maybe I need higher standards, or maybe mowing down an entire squad of enemies with a class strike is so satisfying I don't really care about anything else. The evasion/dexterity stat is a thing of the past, as you can now evade enemy attacks with a newly added move that lets you dive on that grass like Ronaldo and reliably dodge any attack – even magic ones – that might be coming your way. There's also a new postgame added after the main quest, which adds new equipment, new boss fights, and most importantly a third class change. Even if pretty much all of the locations and enemies in the postgame are recycled from the main quest (with a twist), it's a pretty cool addition since they really didn't have to bother with something like this but did it anyway. As for some negative aspects, even on hard mode the game is a bit too easy. On the other hand, the expert difficulty unlocked after your first playthrough is a bit too much and not really worth beating. Most of the time it's just long, drawn out boss fights against bosses that take forever to kill and who can easily one-shot you (or rather your mindless AI allies). Nothing is unlocked after you slog through it all, not even a lousy achievement. What's the point? But these are all just minor weak points. All in all, this is a great game and a very worthy remake. And, just like the original, after dozens of playthroughs I have still not gotten sick of it. I love it, it never gets boring, I'm sure to play it a dozen more times.
