Topic: Trials of Mana Remake

@NintendoByNature As I said, these are minor complaints and doesn't ruin the game as a whole. The controls are, after being configured, mostly good, battles are fun, the character design is charming, the music is great (OK, I agree with some users in this thread that it's not on the DQXI level of great, but it's far from bad and you can change between the original score and the orchestral re-recordings) and I like the concept of six different stories being interwoven (hopefully a little more complex than f.e. Octopath Traveler).

@Quarth oh no I wasn't trying to say you actually had issues with those things. Either way those are only minor gripes like you said.

I pre-ordered it from Game a long time ago ..... Loving it! Mind you, I liked the Secret of Mana remake, so I'm obviously weird

@NintendoByNature No worries, wasn't taking it as an insult or anything. Just wanted to explain my feelings about the game.

@Quarth for sure.

Played for a little over an hour so far. It's good. Probably still day 1, but not as blown away about it as i thought id be. How do you kill bees and bats though?

@NintendoByNature I'd heard the Secret of Mana remake wasn't that good, so I went into this game with some caution. As you say, one doesn't get blown away by the game, but it's still worth playing.

For killing flying enemies: jump and do an attack midair.

That's in your opinion. You are free to like the three games but not everyone will.

Personally I think XC is pretty good but has a few fundamental flaws. FF7 is ok but nowhere near as good as the fans say it is. Trials (SD3) the SNES version is one of the better RPGs on the system. Not as good as ChronoTrigger or Terranigma but I'd say in most people's top 5 or top 10 SNES RPGs. The remake? As long as the remake is better than the Garbage SoM remake, that'll be a plus and possibly worth getting.

It's not like OT in that regard at all. Trials has you choosing 3 characters from the get go as your party and it's one interwoven story, not 8 separate stories like OT.
In OT you can literally do chapter 1 of your starting character then nothing more from your chosen chatacter if you want. The order in which you do the chapters and find the characters is totally up to you.
SD3 (Trials) doesn't even have this kind of chapter progression.

@Quarth man now I feel real silly. Why didn't i think of that. You're probably asking yourself how does this guy get through games? Honestly I'm not that bad. Just had a brain fart i suppose 😉

@NintendoByNature Don't worry, it took me some time to realise it as well.

The Japanese voice acting is a little bit better. Think I will go with that.

@the8thark
I've played OT rather thoroughly, you don't need to lecture me on it.

I think the two games feel very similar, especially in the early hours. Yes, Trials is one story that you MUST follow, but the games feel very similar to me.

I apologize if my comment upset you for any reason as your comment seems rather defensive.

Obviously it’s my opinion, that’s why I posted it.

I never claimed everyone will like every single game. Not even sure what the point of your response was.

@JaxonH
It’s not obvious that your post was your opinion. You clarified that was your intention, however your post didn’t come out like that.

You said the three games are masterpieces. You did not say “in my opinion they are masterpieces” or similar.

My point was to say your claim of the games being masterpieces is your opinion, not a hard fact. Your post did not mention this.

It’s cool if you like those games, but you used absolute words like “are”. I just fixed up your little mistake. You meant to say “in my opinion I believe they are masterpieces” instead of “they are masterpieces”

Only a small but important rom for improvement. So people know you are talking opinion not fact.

Also if you are saying something that is your opinion, it’s only obvious to others if you say it’s your opinion. We are not mind readers.

@rallydefault

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.

You know everything about OT and SD3. I do believe that. However we differ on how similar OT and SD3 are.
That’s all.

We both obviously got different impressions from OT and SD3. That’s fine. Everyone gets different things from game.

Your comment didn’t upset me. Also there’s no need to apologise (even if in a patronising way). I’m glad you shared your opinions.

The end result?
There more discussion on OT and SD3. That’s a win for everyone.

@the8thark
It’s not obvious that your post was your opinion.

Yes it is. The fact it came out of my mouth means it's my opinion.

You clarified that was your intention, however your post didn’t come out like that.

Don't really care how you perceive it to come out. I dont need a disclaimer on everything I say. Unless I specifically state this is objective fact then I'm giving my opinion. Obviously. You're just too insecure to handle it and as such, have gone out of your way to try to advertise it as not being fact.

The remake is completely different from the original. We have no idea how good it is yet!

@the8thark
No worries. Can't remember if I was being patronizing lol Maybe? Though I detect a bit of snark in your comment that I "know everything," but hey, I'll take it haha

The Trials of Mana remake plays really great! It looks the way you'd image a remake of Trials of Mana. The remake desperately needs a 3 player co-op patch. The game would surely get a sales spike at the announcement alone
