Poll of the Day > Suddenly got in the mood for some Mana/Seiken Densetsu

(+) Yeah! (+)

Watching the Beard Bros and Jared start Secret of Mana, made me want to play those games again.

Sword/1 and 3, I know I played a lot, but don't actually remember whether I ever really played Secret/2 all that much.

Starting with Sword and I'll see where it takes me.

Anyone else still remember these games fondly?

Always. Secret of Mana has one of my favorite JRPG soundtracks.

Seiken Densetsu 3 is one of the best games of all time.
---

I've been playing about 30 mins every day and I just met King Truffle. Half days are just spent grinding spell levels though...

Yup. Friend and me replayed Secret of Mana about a year or two ago. We tried to get through Seiken Densetsu 3 but probably got only a quarter of the way. I enjoyed Secret of Evermore as well and wished it had co-op.

In my second time of playing Secret of Mana with my friend it felt so much easier. I think between him controlling one character and me actually leveling up my magic made a huge difference.

On another note, I have been finding myself replaying older games more so than playing new games. Hell, if it doesn't have co-op I will wait until the GotY edition is out with all the DLCs and on sale.

Level 9, actually mixing things up and enjoying different weapons, the bow is actually quite fun.

Well, you or him can always be Dog!

Loved Evermore, the market trading is damn fun, even if you know how to get all the unique items.

I just fired up a Seiken Densetsu 3 Hardtype game. Love it.

Got through the haunted mansion... I do not remember bosses dying this quickly...

They melt to magic

Be sure to only use healing magic and physical attacks if you want a challenge. Exemption given to use attack magic on the two vampire bosses because they are a bitch to hit with physicals

Evermore does have a 2 player hack, but it's real glitchy

Nope, no magic used. I did make use of my first charged attack...

I figured it was because we are all connected in some way and it's coming out next month in Japan. So that huge excitement.

This is my favorite track from the series.

Angela's story arc was the best.
The Ghost Ship was cool too.

Love the AI, Sir Bogart just suicided on one of those metal blob thingies while I was figuring out why my flail wasn't working on it...

@Nichtcrawler X

it was on your mind because we are all connected unconsciously. It's kind of odd an old game was on your mind for no apparent reason.

But two weeks ago they announced this .

Right, morphogenetic field, last game series I played...

It includes the original game, the one that is more Final Fantasy, over the remake, that turned it into a Mana game in line with the rest of the series?

I hope that didn't count as a boss, it went down before I realized only Bogart was doing damage...

Oh boy, this new map theme is awesome.

Dang it TC. I am kinda tempted to replay Seiken Densetsu III but I know these older RPGs tend to take quite a while to finish. Seiken Densetsu III especially I recall it taking a while to grind out the levels to unlock the later classes.
