Alpha218 05/07/20 10:24:24 AM #1:	I liked Secret of Mana but think its grossly overrated. I dont know, it just didnt feel like there was much to do besides beat on enemies, grind skills and spam magic on bosses until they died. It was also easy as hell. Trials is kinda the same way (not grindy) but less so. Its more enjoyable in 3D too I guess. The game could stand to be harder though. Im playing on Hard with Angela, Hawkeye and Charlotte and have 5 elementals. --- I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite user on the Citadel.

Among other things. I'm guessing the remake remediates these problems in some way. The ring menus pause the game but you cast magic in real time. Believe me I would be complaining if it was a problem because Angela is my main character. The only time Ive experienced lag or frame drops is when the time of day changes. Some of the loading screens take too long but that might be because Im on Switch. --- I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite user on the Citadel.

Among other things. I'm guessing the remake remediates these problems in some way. If you want to pick a specific spell and a specific target, you still have to pause the action to do so for a moment. That said, you can assign commonly used spells to one of four shortcuts. The AI will automatically pick the best target for you. Also the allies' AI is pretty good about spell use, using specific attack spells that enemies are weak against, for example. Not perfect, but in my Duran/Angela/Riesz run I rarely had to tell Riesz to make sure to lower an enemy's defense or Angela to use the proper spell. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:938758268] in Trials of ...
