This perspective was used to full effect back in the day by the Legend of Zelda series. In terms of gameplay, Legend of Mana uses an angled, top-down perspective, something used by previous games of the series. Lastly, there’s the Jumi, a race that has a jeweled heart, which when taken, means death. The war’s scars and destruction are still felt in the game’s present day.Īs for who else lives in Fa’Diel? Well, you can also encounter demons, Sproutlings, Flowerlings, ore-mining Dudbears, and Shadoles that live in the Underworld. The war is for the last remaining pockets of mana left in their world. One of these events is the incredibly bloody war between humans, faeries, and other sentient denizens of Fa’Diel.

Unfortunately, the tree was burned down 900 years before the game started, which sets into motion several series of events. This tree is the reason why life is in the world of Fa’Diel. This locale is centered by the Tree of Mana. The game’s story takes place in the world of Fa’Diel. It’s here that your journey will end, and the world is saved. Either way, someone will die, and it’s your choice as to who.Īfter completing the story arcs (though Square did say that players can jump across story arcs), you will then be able to go to the last story arc of the game. And lastly, there’s Daena who loves everyone and doesn’t want any of them to get hurt. Escad hates Irwin for being a half-demon and for also stealing Matilda’s power and leaving her, though there’s a reason for that. Irwin, a half-demon, loves Matilda, but he can’t woo her due to him being a half-demon and Matilda being a leader of a holy following. This arc is an incredibly complicated, messy love story between four childhood friends, Irwin, Matilda, Escad, and Daena. The other sibling meanwhile, Sierra, serves Vadise, the White Dragon.
He blackmails the player to help him in this. The male sibling, Larc, serves Drakonis, a dragon that wants to rule the world. The second story arc is about two siblings that fight on different sides of a war. An unfortunate tale, but one that can have a happy ending. It’s your job as the player to keep both of them alive, as one of them is the last hope of the Jumi. The main character will then encounter two Jumi who are running away from a Jewel Hunter. This isn’t helped by their jeweled heart, which some considered to be a powerful magical regent to use for magical spells and foci. The Jumi was considered impure and as abominations by many of the world’s populace. The first story arc is related to the Jumi and the current state of their race. The game has three story arcs that need to be cleared before the fourth story arc that’s the game’s endgame. Story-wise, Legend of Mana doesn’t follow a linear plot. Now that we know what we’re talking about here, let’s talk about what we can expect from Legends of Mana. It wasn’t until this year that Square announced the remastered version of Legend of Mana, to the delight of hardcore fans. Square Enix proceeded to focus more on the Final Fantasy series, their mainline title. However, after the mediocre release of Heroes of Mana in 2007, the Mana series went on a steep decline. After that, though, Square made the plunge, creating the Mana series when they released Secret of Mana for the Super NES. That game was released as Seiken Densetsu in Japan, though it was released as Final Fantasy Adventure for Western consumption. However, the Mana series eventually grew a life of its own after the 1991 release of Final Fantasy Adventure. And the series was pretty revolutionary during its time, leading to the current day. We all know how big the Final Fantasy series got after the first game was released. The series was supposed to serve as the handheld side-story series for Square’s Final Fantasy.
For the uninitiated, the Mana series, or the Seiken Densetsu in Japan, is a series of games created by Square/Square Enix.
