One of my all time favorite classics. I was so happy when I heard they were remastering this for the switch. I can't wait to play it. So much nostalgia to be had here.
@@rock2k14 Oh, don't worry though! See, SE has been soooooo kind and thoughtful as to release remasters! On Mobile and Steam! Again! When they already have them! Isn't that just so kind of them!? Seriously though, I've seen so many people pissed off about that announcement. People have been wanting 1-6 on switch, PS4/5, and XBox for years. Instead, they release them where most people aren't going to buy them, if they already have the other versions... I wouldn't be surprised if they do badly, and then SE turns around and says "well, we HAD planned on releasing them on console. But because they did badly on Steam and Mobile, we figured it wouldn't be worth it." They did that with fans wanting a new Chrono game, so it wouldn't surprise me at all...
This game shines the most on its skills, abilites and techniques you'll learn by grinding. I Used to master all as i remember.. like combining two abilities to unlock a special technique etc. e.g. Defend+lounge = defensive lounge then grinding that skill to unlock a special technique that utilizes that move.. Super fun
nowadays you get them on lootboxes and premium account lol Lai Strike is fun to use tho this game had too much content to be ramade fully from the ground up without getting some of it be DLC compared to it's three recent titles
This game was such a treasure on the ps1. I remember saving my character on my memory card and taking it to a friend's house to co-op, and discovering you learn each-other's weapon skills! The character's storylines were so much fun, and the soundtrack was phenomenal. Can't wait to go through this again.
This game is one of the greatest games ever made. I had played this one way before and I still am in love with it. I still wish that Terranigma would be revived into the switch...
You get all my respect for remembering Terranigma my friend. One of my favourite JRPGs ever, even to this date. Next to Secret of Mana it was the first JRPG I ever played, so it always holds a special place in my heart.
@@vhalrougelarfouxe Oh god yes. The game has quite a few feels. Pretty much the whole Liem chapter, Fyda and Royd's goodbye, the avalanche scene... and of course the ending, I also still get a bit teary eyed every time I see that ending and credit roll. It's rare I get emotional over video games, even games that are meant to be emotional, but man... kind of blows my mind a little how much that game hits you, considering how 'basic', for a lack of a better term, it really is.
Storywise, I've always thought of this game as "side-quests: the game". But those "side quests" are actually the whole point. You progress by engaging with the characters and taking part in the smaller stories. This allows you to further build the world and see more of the story. You don't even always do anything to progress a story segment, sometimes just happening to see it and be there. BUT your role as the main character is to rebuild the world and revive the mana tree in doing so. Each character with whatever struggle they're having is a part of that. So in essence, the side quests ARE the main quest. Once you get that in your mind, the game is much more enjoyable from a story perspective. It just doesn't play out like any RPG story you're used to, because it's really not all about your character! It's about everyone. You just happen to be the one putting it all together.
Yes I played it back in the day, this game and several other RPG games in PS1 (suikoden, Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire) make me love JRPG until now. Will play this game again for the nostalgia
I have my Japanese physical coming in the post this week. Cant wait. Mana is my favourite RPG,s of all time. Great review. I absolutely love your mastery of descriptive wording. It’s paints a wonderful picture, especially you words on the art direction and the music.
This games art style is what made me want to play JRPG's back in the day. It was just so vastly different from the N64 which I thought was a boring system at the time.
One of the best OST's on the original Playstation and for me, this is one of my favourite PS1 games. Visually and audio wise it's a treat. I'll get this version eventually, great review boys. The story is a little loose, but it more than makes up for that in other areas I feel.
You are the third reviewer that confirms it - must have for the people that were playing it back then. My childhood game, instant buy now. Just few more hours for release
It plays a bit more RPG-ish compared to SoM. But it has charms with it management game mechanic. You can craft weapon, give seeds to the tree that will sprout out fruits, you can catch a monster. Also while the reviewer doesn't show it, you can actually use plethora of weapon types, from fists to heavy two handed hammer
I'm planning on playing it without a guide on the first playthrough and then using one to do every single sidequest that I'm sure I'll lost on the 1st playthrough. We need to make sure to make the money worth there =P
@@xboxswitch9457 Ummm... this isn't a next gen exclusive. I'm pretty bugs were at a minimum as games had to work when they were released back then. I can't recall a single bug from the dozens of times I've played it in the past decades.
This is one of my absolute favorites from when I was a wee lad in 99. It's seriously good. Was way ahead of its time too. Anyone who likes ARPGS must try this is the standard I set them by for the past 20 years.
This was the first game I ever played on a console. I loved it so much and I fully agree, the soundtrack is amazing. You can see that there is much care put into the design. It's lovely. Funny you say that the story can be in the background.. For me this wasn't the case. The story was very much vivid and I was so involved. But this is back then. I'll definetly pick this up and play again :)
I don't know if it's just my phone or what, but the narration of the review is clearer now. Sometimes in the past videos, the audio quality of your voices is muffled somewhat, but now, I can hear the voice clearly. Audio is 20/20! This is quite important to me because I tend to listen to your reviews during my daily commute, podcast style. Good stuff!
Once you get deep in the weapons of this game, its starts to feel like monster hunter with interesting combos and techniques. My friend and I would spend hours playing co-op and to this day, was one of the best gaming memories (outside of arcades) that i have had. No stress, no competition just playing game for the sake of playing a game and sharing an experience. So glad it is back.
Played and finished this on the original Playstation, on pc with a psx emulator, on my psp running cfw, and on my android phone running a psx emulator. And now here I go again 😄
I started playing Trials of Mana last month and I adore it. I saw this one was coming but something about it did not resonate with me but I am glad that it is actually fun. I'm gonna wait for a sale and pick it up!😊
This one looks great. I'm sure I'll buy it sooner or later. But since I prefer physical editions I'll wait until I'll be able to grab the physical release :) Thanks for the review!
If you are planning to get the good ending on your first play through, make sure you do the guide. Because the placement of artifacts is a big thing. It has different items, and monsters. And also you need to talk to all people at least three times. Otherwise, it is an amazing game.
This game looks beautiful remaked! The music aspect is what I took as the best! I wanna play. Although I have yet to finish Trials of Mana. Gotta grab this.
The game just felt like one sidequest after another to me. Was a bit off-putting at first, but the world and music were so good that I really didn't mind. Also, the characters and all their little quirks are so memorable. The battle system feels pretty clunky. I ended up using the downward diagonal (directional input) rising attack all the time since it had almost instant recovery.
nice I love how high the score is here... I already got the physical edition but I wanted to know what was new and I already knew everything that was said, but that's good. I loved the game back in the days and I was sad so many people never picked it up back then. to me, it's a must-play BUT don't expect a traditional "mana" game and you'll have fun.
It might not have a strong over-arching story, but the smaller stories within are actually compelling and heart-wrenching. One of of my faves in the ps1 era, played it again on psp, and I will definitely be picking it up on swtich.
Fun Fact: The opening song was sung by Annika Ljungberg (a.k.a. Mary Sue), former lead singer of the Swedish Music Group *Rednex, the guys behind their 1995 hit, Cotton Eye Joe.*
This was my favorite game growing up and I’ve spent the last 24 hours alternating between happiness and like… crying in joy to have a copy of my favorite back in my hands
I never really got into this series, and the gameplay doesn’t really seem for me, so I’ll be passing on this one for the time being. However, it does look like a great one for fans of the series or jrpgs to get into, despite its drawbacks. Thanks for the review.
At 4:35 you can see the quest title changed "7 wisdoms" to "The Pursuit of Wisdoms" due to the confusion that there are only 6 wisdoms that can be interacted and needed to do the quest. The 7th being Matilda which is revealed later in the game.
I've spent more of a hundred hours playing this game. Grinding my ass off, farming money, buying materials, forging weapons, experimenting Golems, and raising my monsters pet, unlocking everygoddamn moves, mastering all the weapon fighting styles, Damn this game contents are insane! I remember felt so fucked when i accidentaly ereased my save data and lost all my shit ... 🤣😭😵 As a non linear RPG, this is undountedly a hidden gem! And they reviving this game? Hotdamn! Nintendo, you are amazing! Waiting for Chrono Trigger and Xenogears remaster ...
Stumble onto this review. Used to love this game back in the days. Was super fun, but yeah very disconnected with itself. Like nothing really mattered in it. Though you could hard lock your progress if you werent paying much attention or even if you were! lol.
I was so excited to see this review! I already loved the game, so to watch my favorite youtube channel cover it has made my day! Keep grinding. I will be picking this up. (Also, Griftlands is amazing)
The Mana game looks good, I have never played any of them. But Mario Golf comes out on Friday and I know I’m going to be putting slot of time into it. Pick up on sale when my backlog slows down. Hahahahah. Keep up the good work guys, I really enjoy your vids
at first i was torn about buying it on ps4 or switch because I'm a bit of a trophy hunter, but ultimately decided that this game is perfect for handheld imo. Great review!
I honestly have too many jrpg's in my backlog haha. Might play this if I ever clear those, but the innovate choices with the artifacts honestly don't speak to me that much. Cool for the fans of the series though :D cheers as always lads!
This has been my absolute favorite game ever. My uncle randomly picked it up for me at a random pawn shop. Wrapped in a napkin for a dollar. I was like 9. I’m 29 now and still hooked! So excited for this remaster! Too bad we don’t get a physical copy in the US 😭😭😭
Played this game as a kid, i remebet getting stuck on every quest, i remeber missing so much, and i remeber playing this game so manh times over and over untill i completed it as a youngin..pre-ordered on Switch and tried to launch the game every hour untill it worked, then played it 8 hours straight, so much Nostalgia, so much brain space was created for this game.
Will definitely be grabbing it. Back in my childhood this game was so rare. We had to scour for two copies of it as the first one we grabbed froze at boot up and the second one froze shortly after. So we'd use copy #2 to start the game and switch the disk after getting in game. I've beaten it, but not with a 100% clear. If you consider when it came out the game was a masterpiece. Also you can play as a second character, not just a pet. If I remember... you just need to make a second save file and an npc in the first town "pretty sure you have a quest to find him really early on" allows you to import the other players character into the game.
They are in the process of making a skyrim port for the only thing on earth that doesn't have skyrim yet, toasters. And as you would expect, is stuck there, not because toasters can't run skyrim, but because toasters have no internet for microtransactions. After that, maybe you'll get your morrowind on switch.
Best game I ever played on PS1. The thing I like the most here is that there are tons of equipment you can choose from and each equipment type has its own set of skills. You can also learn all the skills in one playthrough. I've been searching for a game that is similar to this, and haven't found any so far.
I played through the game like 3 times. One thing that bugged me is that story friends didnt seem to scale or keep their levels, so co op completely breaks when the MC has a 50 level advantage.
best soundtrack and music of its time, so much nostalgia! The way the story progresses very much like a fairy tale book, where you had many different stories packed into one single book. Granted, the stories won't be as complicated as a standard RPG, but its more like you are the 3rd person point of view, whereby the NPC of the quest is the main character in their respective quests.
I remember playing this game when I was like 10yo. but my smol gamer brain can't figure out a lot of this since it was the times before online guides was a thing. I have dreamed of being able to play this game for sooooooo long. I'm 30yo now. and finally get a chance to play this game again. I remember the crafting and monster taming was very in depth (or too complicated at the time). I am very excited to get play this one. I have it downloaded and ready to play. I have the weekend free. and can't wait to dive into nostalgia :)
I'm 31, and played LoM around a similar time as you, this game had immense gamefaq and gamewinners guides. this was actually the hayday of online .txt strategy guides
I love everything about the mana series except for the battle system. When I heard it was getting remastered, I was crossing my fingers so they would remove the loooooong startup for battle techniques. The worst thing was waiting to fill up your gauge only to miss because the enemy moved about 30 seconds ago when you first started the tech. Other than that small thing, this game was amazing. Music, art and story.
Ahh remembered the spear weapon and the lancer ability brings so much memories back 🙃🙃 brings my childhood memories from this game eay back ps1 was manufactured!! ❤️
Ohh. The memories.. wrecking the mobs in Nightmare mode alongside L'arc and me spamming my OP magic on the side.. Unlocking all the Supermove for each weapon is a blast also my favorite is Bow and it's ultra powerful Laser Beam. 😁
i'm very lucky, in 2009, i went to Playstation store to get some ps1 CDs but i have no idea what to chose, then i just asked the seller to Choose 5 Random CDs and i got this game because of it, i was 7 years old that time, it was my very very first RPG game, loved it so much
Did any of you play this one back in the day? Will you be picking it up now? Let us know!
LoM was dope back in the ancient day.
Used to play it on psx, in english. It's a truly great game.
One of my all time favorite classics. I was so happy when I heard they were remastering this for the switch. I can't wait to play it. So much nostalgia to be had here.
I didn't unfortunately.
Now I wish Square Enix release Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX Version) as a Remastered!😭👍
Music 20/20. Well deserved. Yoko Shimomura's work is astonishing in this one.
My Switch is turning into a JRPG machine at this point 😂
a JRPG and roguelike machine for me
And yet they still haven't given us final fantasy 1-6 on switch 😑

nowadays you get them on lootboxes and premium account lol
Lai Strike is fun to use tho
this game had too much content to be ramade fully from the ground up without getting some of it be DLC compared to it's three recent titles
I like Taunt 😅

Tell me I wasn't the only one screaming when Mark missed the treasure chest at 6:27
Will be picking this one up for sure!

Ah, ok thanks. I had no way of testing the multiplayer unfortunately.
This honestly reminds me of Dark Cloud
Indeed. It does seem like Dark Cloud took some inspiration. Both games are exceptional.
Lol this came out way before dark cloud.
The short-burst mechanic of this makes it seem like a perfect fit on the Switch. And the colorful art style, dayum 👌🏽
Exactly why I went for the Switch version.
I’d really really love a physical copy of this game. Nothing would make me happier than having this.
I've said this before the switch was released. The switch should have every rpg that can run on it.
I love the way this looks. Definitely going on the wish list.
I’m picking this up, looks fantastic
Hmm this actually looks more unique and fun than what I'm used to
Thanks guys, love the videos as usual!
I don't understand why hasn't Bethesda given us Morowind on the switch as of yet!!!!
Will it ever see the light of day on the switch?
🤔🤔🤔
They are in the process of making a skyrim port for the only thing on earth that doesn't have skyrim yet, toasters. And as you would expect, is stuck there, not because toasters can't run skyrim, but because toasters have no internet for microtransactions. After that, maybe you'll get your morrowind on switch.
they just need to release Morowind and Oblivion in a 2 in one. I would buy it.
They could release fallout 3 and new Vegas as well
Does Bethesda even care about Elder Scrolls outside of Skyrim and ESO?
Best game I ever played on PS1.
The thing I like the most here is that there are tons of equipment you can choose from and each equipment type has its own set of skills. You can also learn all the skills in one playthrough.
I've been searching for a game that is similar to this, and haven't found any so far.
Thanks for the update !
First JRPG I ever played to completion and then some! 10/10 in my book!
I still play it every few years, exploring what skill combo can lead to what "ultimate" is very fun, especially I had forgotten how to get them
It looks quite nice, I’ll pick it up down the line. Thanks for the video!
I played through the game like 3 times. One thing that bugged me is that story friends didnt seem to scale or keep their levels, so co op completely breaks when the MC has a 50 level advantage.
Found one from Korean Copy of this game with English support from Amazon. Decided to buy it and now I'm waiting for it to come.
best soundtrack and music of its time, so much nostalgia!
The way the story progresses very much like a fairy tale book, where you had many different stories packed into one single book. Granted, the stories won't be as complicated as a standard RPG, but its more like you are the 3rd person point of view, whereby the NPC of the quest is the main character in their respective quests.
I remember playing this game when I was like 10yo. but my smol gamer brain can't figure out a lot of this since it was the times before online guides was a thing. I have dreamed of being able to play this game for sooooooo long. I'm 30yo now. and finally get a chance to play this game again. I remember the crafting and monster taming was very in depth (or too complicated at the time). I am very excited to get play this one. I have it downloaded and ready to play. I have the weekend free. and can't wait to dive into nostalgia :)
I'm 31, and played LoM around a similar time as you, this game had immense gamefaq and gamewinners guides. this was actually the hayday of online .txt strategy guides
The art somehow reminds me of Maplestory. I truly loved that game. Might try this one out cause of the art.
I want Vagrant Story next so bad
I love everything about the mana series except for the battle system. When I heard it was getting remastered, I was crossing my fingers so they would remove the loooooong startup for battle techniques. The worst thing was waiting to fill up your gauge only to miss because the enemy moved about 30 seconds ago when you first started the tech. Other than that small thing, this game was amazing. Music, art and story.
There are quite a few visually appealing games that have been releasing lately. I think my Wish List has room for another JRPG.
Was considering buying… *finds out it includes an in-game Tamagotchi…* 😅sold. and soundtrack is golden I hear? This is why I love Square Enix Games
Ahh remembered the spear weapon and the lancer ability brings so much memories back 🙃🙃 brings my childhood memories from this game eay back ps1 was manufactured!! ❤️
Spear OP pls nerf
I played it back in the day! Now I’m playing it today
I got a physical copy of the game today. Superly happy!
Haven't played this in a very long time. It's nice to have a reason to play it again with some updates.
Im already preorder, great game thank you
Ohh. The memories.. wrecking the mobs in Nightmare mode alongside L'arc and me spamming my OP magic on the side..
Unlocking all the Supermove for each weapon is a blast also my favorite is Bow and it's ultra powerful Laser Beam. 😁
This is the first game that truly got me deep into video game Action rpgs! Tales of Destiny was another that I’m hoping they port over as well!
When i want to play 2P , should I buy new full joycon(left+right) or it can be played by sharing / split my joycon?
I played this when I was so young I didnt understand the systems lol. I remember liking the golem making and monster taming.
Never played this series, but will def be getting this!
i'm very lucky, in 2009, i went to Playstation store to get some ps1 CDs but i have no idea what to chose, then i just asked the seller to Choose 5 Random CDs and i got this game because of it, i was 7 years old that time, it was my very very first RPG game, loved it so much
It’s cool that this spin off from the mana series is getting a remake and world wide release. Now if they would only bring Dawn if Mana to the switch
