Yeah... a high random encounter rate is always a bit of a bummer. It makes most games a slog to get through. But I'm still going to give it a chance next year, together with DQ 1 and 2.
Visions of Mana would have sold much better on Switch than on PS4/5. However, the game is so technically demanding, it'd never run on Switch. Maybe they should have waited to release it until the Switch 2. If they made it a launch title for that system, it might have been much bigger.
But maybe it still will. I see no reason why Square Enix wouldn't port it to Switch 2. If this ends up being a launch title, who knows how big it might become?

"Worldwide"... except for Belgium and The Netherlands.
We don't allow loot boxes in our games.

Might be worth mentioning in the article.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Confirmed For Switch
This has to be a cross-gen release with Switch 2, right?
March release date for the next console confirmed? 🤔

Guys, seriously.
There's no need to attack the reviewer. This is just their opinion. And opinions are subjective.

I agree.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Balloon Fight (NES)
@Jhena Thank you! So glad to hear you're playing Visions of Mana. It is indeed very good, and sadly way overlooked and underrated.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Balloon Fight (NES)
I prefer the Japanese one.
Very clean box art for its time.
