Visions of Mana

A by the numbers classic JRPG that feels familiar to anyone versed in the genre. It can be a tad generic in its story and rarely tries to surprise you but that doesn't detract from its charm and solid gameplay. The strongest aspect is its beautiful visuals throughout full of vibrancy and colour that instantly connects you to the game world. Combat is similarly well put together with a solid class system that has you adapting your loadout to particular bosses' weaknesses that are fairly telegraphed due to the game's elemental regions. As stated above, the story doesn't do anything revolutionary but it is functional and enjoyable as a familiar jrpg tale that has a good heart, though there are some more interesting directions the story could have taken thematically should a more mature outlook have been desired by the developer but that is clearly not the intended direction and as such should not be discredited for that simplicity in narrative. Overall, I really enjoyed the game and would recommend it to anyone looking for a well presented, classic style action JRPG, that is okay with a basic narrative to connect the various combat and visual setpieces.

Character A:"I was chosen to sacrifice myself." Character B:"That's great to hear, we always wanted something like this for you! :D" Savage. Memes aside, the game is definitely quite rough around the edges, but overall a very enjoyable experience. Most combat encounters are trivial, I got through "Hard" difficulty repeatedly holding down the triangle button, dodging when the ground was red and burning through consumables. Only the postgame fight and a few optional encounters (so-called aeries) really necessitated me to make specific strategies and swap between characters a lot. The level curve was almost perfectly keeping up with me while linearly following the story, but once the game opened up and I started doing all the sidequests that popped up, I got a solid 10 level lead over most encounters. Still got one-shot occasionally. Story was okay, it's pretty classic JRPG and doesn't really try anything new, but it achieves what it's trying to do. Voice acting, I found decent on the main characters, but it gets funky on side NPCs. Meeting Morly for the first time gave me whiplash, but it grew on me. Visually, the environment is absolutely gorgeous, the effects pretty and there's nostalgia galore, but the characters can be a bit off-putting, since they all look like porcelain dolls and the lack of lip syncing and the often very restricted facial impressions are not helping that impression. Some even got a reflective sheen on the skin, which is hilarious. I cracked it up to art style, but couldn't shake off creepy dollhouse vibes at times. Music was okay all-around. No real bangers that make you stop what you do and listen, no real stinkers that make you wanna turn it off either. For the most part, it just sat unobtrusively in the background and did its magic setting the mood. To me, it enhanced immersion quite a bit. QoL leaves a bit to be desired. Like, being able to use the world map when you are flying, for example, or making some traversal points permanent instead of constantly having you hit the switch again every time you backtrack (and you backtrack a lot if you do side quests). By the time you get to fly, fast travel becoming unlocked beyond continent borders would have been nice as well, since it would save you one loading screen. It's the little things, nothing too game breaking (unless you got no SSD, I guess). Personally, I got the game on sale and I'd suggest you do the same, especially if you're only going for a single run. I got 56 hours of decent entertainment for 23 bucks and I think that ratio is pretty good, but you can be done with the main story in like 25 hours if you don't do the side stuff and at that point full price seems really unattractive.

Great graphics, decent character design and a good fighting system, which is pulled down by some of the most mediocre story and writing I've ever seen. The graphics look and run pretty well, even on lower-end hardware, the artstyle accomodates upscaling very well. It also runs great on linux, and in UEVR! (did not try both at the same time of course) The character design is good as well, though, I'd have preferred if the characters looked a bit older. I can't take 12-yo looking characters as seriously when thrown in a story like that; Also, underage-looking Palomena in Bikini Armor is sus AF. The fighting system is good, and every character is useful - though I find Julie [spoiler](Healer)[/spoiler] and Polomena [spoiler](Magic DPS)[/spoiler] significantly more useful than all of the others. The writers did try to give the characters some depth - unfortunately they failed because every detail learned about a character is immediately forgotten and never brought up again. And the back story of the characters is mostly not all that compelling in the first place. You could probably strike most of the characters from the story and not lose much. The story is incredibly predictable, and the writing of individual scenes ranges from "how did this land in production?" to a very strong middle-of-the-road. It's not horrible, but buy it if you have literally no other JRPG you could play instead.

As an attempt to create a new entry in a classic RPG series after almost 20 years, I think this game succeeds phenomenally well. It absolutely feels like a continuation of that legacy, from its visual design to its general story structure to the combat system. However, feeling like a new SNES jrpg has its drawbacks as well: the characters are pretty simplistic/one-note and some of the systems are kinda unintuitive/clunky. Overall, this is a great choice if you want an old-fashioned fantasy jrpg. Note: We ain't getting any more of these, because the studio was shut down ON release day. RIP

没其他人说的那么烂 实际上这是我电子ED后这么多年少数玩的进去的游戏了 可能是因为分级太低老少咸宜在一些追求刺激和高能剧情的玩家群体中显得过于平淡？ 实际上JRPG都是这个路数，把它当成轻小说看就好 动画质量很高。等我孩子大点，让孩子也玩！

Yes

I played a lot of this but haven't been liking it. it feels almost like a boss battle simulator, running around 5 levels less than everything where it takes 10-20 battles to gain a level, so I just run past the regular enemies instead of wasting my time trying to gain a level. Story is mostly straightforward, with a few nice twists but it isn't much. The combat is fairly straightforward too: attack the nearest enemy repeatedly while your computer controlled allies do their thing and sometimes get hurt and you need to throw items at them to keep them alive. I mostly felt bored playing this, to be honest. You are either running towards the next event or fighting a long boss battle, which some of the battles are still hard on the lowest difficulty setting. And at least one of the bosses had a charge attack where you need to attack an orb to not get hit for massive damage, and I could never seem to do enough damage to stop the attack. Which feels really bad when it kills or almost kills your party. Also, your party is 60% furries. 80% if you count the tree person (plural: treeple). That's too much for any decent game (joking). If you like really simple games this might be OK. I basically ignored most of the class system and probably had a suboptimal party but oh well. In the end you just mash Y repeatedly to hit enemies almost no matter what. Not even interested in finishing it at this point.

有故事大概雷，不想被雷劇情的就別看了。 整個劇情裡最不能接受的是憑什麼原諒奧林！這傢伙因為一己私慾害死你的女人啊！說什麼都不能原諒。 至於其他人再噴的獻出靈魂的劇情，別用現代觀下去看這遊戲啊...用現代觀去想說為什麼大家都自願獻出靈魂，大家思想都很怪之類的想法來玩你會玩得很痛苦，這個世界就因為災厄的原因導致瑪娜無法循環，讓各地只要沒有獻出瑪娜就會出事，誰敢擔這個責任去冒險？ 這遊戲的缺點就是支線跟一些系統問題 如果有下一作，麻煩支線不要再攻略完那張地圖之後才會出現，很浪費時間。 還有你支線要跨區域不是不行，但打鬥區域太少限制了你放怪的組合，導致有些支線要打的怪在那張地圖裡根本沒幾隻，像聖3那樣出怪區域很多就沒這問題。 前期怪物給的經驗太少了，出怪區原本就不多了，經驗還給這麼摳門會讓人很快有作業感。 至於飛行動畫真的多餘，我知道芙洛米很可愛，但你每次飛行都要看他出來秀可愛，久而久之會膩，應該要有個關閉飛行動畫的選項。 然後都已經2026了，遊戲內還是偶爾有些Bug，尤其裝備的數值顯示最為嚴重，以及你在戰鬥時奔跑然後按道具會放不出來，左下角人物已經顯示要使用，但你會看到奔跑後的人物站在原地發呆... 戰鬥後顯示經驗的畫面讓人物都不能使用任何東西的設定顯得很白癡，人物中毒或著火只能給他燒跟毒，聖3還能動還能開寶箱還能用物品。 好的部份是真的好 像是開地圖就能傳送到當下島的各個點，省去跑大圖的時間，美術非常優秀，各個場景的風景非常漂亮會讓人逛圖不覺得膩。 比起水女王，風龍女在這作裡的各種演出讓人愉悅，不管是吐槽還是被吐槽，以他當主要角色操作的時候台詞也挺多的，像是騎皮庫魯的部分就比大多角色活潑快樂很多，貓男除了打架很好用，演出上太沉悶、正常，商店三貓姊妹來當角色操作都比他好多了。 這遊戲就是四個男的失去女人的故事，遠古英雄失去女人怪女神跟其他人類然後想毀滅世界、守護女神的守魂人為了叫醒他心愛的因為穩定世界而陷入沉睡的女神讓這世界的人獻出靈魂來供養女神、不想屈就於獻出靈魂傳統的男人為了被石化的女人去陷害主角跟女主角，結果還是什麼都做不到就死去、主角被陷害而失去女主角還得為了救世去原諒墮落英雄跟不守傳統男的所作所為。 雖然最後的確把這個傳統給排除了，也成為新一代聖樹守魂人跟自己心愛的女人(現女神)永遠再一起了。

途中だけれどおすすめ無理となったのでレビュー。どうにか頑張って最後までやろうとは思うけれども…。 スクエニクオリティなので、世界観からしてあーこの展開ね、という意味では近代的な王道パターンだと思うんだけれど、すっきり爽快って感じで終われないのが約束されている。どういう層に刺さるんだろう？自分的にはお話は微妙で、そのせいでキャラにも思い入れが持てず、でもまぁ添え物くらいに考えれば…、と頑張れる範囲内。 ただ、本体のゲーム部分がとにかくダメ。アクションっぽいだけで基本はＲＰＧゲー。アクションを期待すると絶望する点に注意。にもかかわらずダメージの入りがアクション仕様で少ないのがだるい。アクションっぽいゲーなので、敵が空飛ぶと味方はほぼ棒立ちで蹂躙されていくのがとにかくだるい。自分が必死にジャンプ攻撃するしかないけれど、ダメージは一人分だと少なくだるい。多対一になるとしんどいのを分散してくれる程度の価値はあるがそれだけ。とにかくゲームのメインの遊びとしてはつまらないという感想。多分相手にあわせて装備付け替えて…、最適な状態ならまぁまぁ戦えるという遊び方を想定しているんだろうけれど、それはそれでめんどくさいというかスキル振り直しも自由にできないのでやりにくいゲームデザイン。 ３Ｄモデルが良くできているのは評価ポイントだけれど、じっくり見るモードがない。味方はアップにできない。っていうかカメラが寄ると消える。んまぁ正直亜人系には興味ないので味方はどうでもよく、とにかく歴代のボスがちゃんと３Ｄになっていて動くのがいいんだけれど、これもじっくり見られる感じではない。残念。力の入れどころがもったいない。 とにかくバトルがだるいので先に他のところ行ってレベル上げしてから空飛ぶ敵を倒すか、と思ったら特定シナリオ進行中は他のシナリオ進められませんという状況らしくって、ギブアップ。ゲームセット。おすすめできませんでした。アイテム使ってゴリ押しするかなぁだるいなぁつまんないなぁ…。 ついでに気に入らないところをいくつか挙げておくと、最初に真っ暗な画面の右下に謎のプログレスバーが出てくる起動画面は見ていてしんどいので、せめて背景に何か出しなよ。っていうかなんで直前に出ていた絵を消した？？？あとオープニングのタイトルコールが浮いていてダサすぎるのどうにかしてほしい。チュートリアルキャラに魅力がなさすぎたのも入り込めない要素だったので、個人的にはどうにかしてほしかったかなぁ。 昔だったらワゴンで千円を救出くらいのイメージ。そもそも６０％オフになぜなっているのか？を察するべきでした…。
