Trials of Mana
There are countless RPGs that have never made their way out of Japan, even from popular and well-known series like Mana. Finally after so many years, the third title in the Mana series is coming West, in two different ways.
The Collection of Mana is immediately available, with a fully-translated version of Trials of Mana, the English name of Seiken Densetsu 3. Even more exciting, however, is the absolutely gorgeous looking remake of Trails of Mana.
This remake instantly looks better than the poor remake of Secret of Mana, with gorgeous graphics and an interesting new third-person camera for combat. The Trials of Remake seems to be doing exactly what a good remake should: keep the spirit of the original intact while layering in new elements and features.
It’s great to see this overlooked gem finally get the due it deserves in the West.
