  • Secret of Mana may not be the most known title from Square Enix, to me it is one of the best game released on the SNES. It had enough of a following to get a 3D remake for the PS4, but with these remakes they tend to change or add things. So let's see how the PS4 remake holds up in my Secret of Mana review.

    Curious about New Game Plus and the removal of previous Completionist episodes? The answers are in my update video: • The Future Of The Comp...
    Take on the role of a the unlikely hero Randi as he comes across a magic sword and is tasked with befriending the eight elementals to fight off the evil empire. Secret of Mana is a classic JRPG, and I might be a bit biased because I loved the pixel version and don't exactly understand why they made a 3D remake instead of a HD pixel release. The characters got makeovers in the Secret of Mana PS4 remake, but they are still the same quirky and memorable characters. I've got problems with small details in the game, but they start to add up to become an issue. See how the two games compare in my Secret of Mana review!
    Let me know what you thought about my Secret of Mana review! Which do you prefer: 2D or 3D Mana?
    Also let me know what other games I should re-complete for New Game Plus!

    I pretty much came to the same conclusion as Jirard...It's good, but its not great and a remake of a game of this caliber should be great.

      @teneesh3376 4 года назад +5

      Yeah it's a really bad remake. But weirldy enough it can still be fun to play because it's based on the original game. Maybe that says something about the quality of the original

      They were going to, but the problem is they were using the remake of Secret of Mana to test the waters and see if there was interest in the series. When they saw all the people whining about the remake, they immediately gave up on ever releasing a Western port or remake of SD3.

  • @noircore
    @noircore 6 лет назад +137

    Not gonna lie, Jirard, the "default name" thing is a silly complaint. Most games nowadays do this, but apparently you're not sure how to feel with it here? That's sorta silly over something minor.

    • @ceruleantear1
      @ceruleantear1 6 лет назад +13

      I admit it's a strange complaint and yet it's one that a lot of older players will feel. When you play a game and are given sole decision to name your characters it really adds to your connection to the characters. On several occasions I will spend minutes relaxing on my couch contemplating what I should name my character because the name will add to his personality. However, when the characters are given a name already then your decision is to use the name the developer gave them or change it. To be honest, it feels a little odd when I change it.
      Allow me to give you an example which will clarify my point. When you adopt an old dog from the shelter, you are allowed to call it whatever you want, but odds are this dog has already been given a name by his previous owners or by the shelter workers.

    • @noircore
      @noircore 6 лет назад +8

      cerulean tear But the "owners" of the SoM characters don't care if you change the name. Why would they give the option to change the name otherwise? This is coming from one who prefers to use the default names for characters that already have their own unique backstory, customizable or not like Robin in FE13.

    • @XFrozenAshX
      @XFrozenAshX 6 лет назад +7

      Link? Red? Blue? All of these names and others are around in the early games. Unless we're talking even further back. Maybe we shouldn't have named Pac man that and just let everybody else decide what he should be called. It's the stupidest fucking argument.

    • @GeminiTasiri
      @GeminiTasiri 6 лет назад +13

      It's a weird complaint since the characters had those names for a while (as far as I can understand it, the US localization back in the day just kinda erased the names for the more generic Boy / Girl / Sprite - so it's really just getting corrected).
      I also find it weird that he harps on the game for the artstyle. I found the low-poly-ish, cartoonish artstyle fits the game very well and I actually really liked how they translated the pixel-art into 3D models. The elementals especially look very awesomely detailed if you look at them in the Album (they're modelled after their artwork from Children Of Mana onwards)

    The remake definitely felt like it came out as a GameCube or PS2 game in 2018. It felt like Mighty No. 9 did: just kinda okay, despite all the effort expected in this. But all the game crashes added to the original quirks left in a game that was supposedly rebuilt from the ground up, made it a rough time. And the because I did miss out on equipment drops only available in the Pure Lands, I had wished for an added Neeko shop to buy the rarest items to make completing the game possible without restarting all over - which I’m NOT doing!!! Choose the original over this

    Secret of Mana (the original) was actually the first video game I played with my niece (who was 4 at the time). I was playing it on my mini and she saw Popoi's sprite and loved their hair color. I told her the game was 2-player, plugged in the second controller and we even took a boss down together. After that, I introduced her to other SNES games I played as a kid and some I didn't get to play until I was an adult. If she ever decides to be a gamer too, I just want that to be the first gaming memory she'll look back on.

    I remember clearly my introduction to Secret of Mana. It was toward the end of a summer when we were kids, and my cousin suddenly mentioned a game with a "chipmunk" that was super awesome. I had never heard of it before, but I began a quest to find it. We were able to rent it once and spent the entire weekend playing it. I needed to buy it. Took me forever to find a copy, I even had retro stores helping me. I happened across a boxed copy at a Babbage's and marched it to the counter and paid. Quest complete!

    The graphics look adorable and based on the footage shown of the original, they seem like a wonderful translation. I do feel that the colors look washed out a bit, though.
    I think both versions of the track sound nice. I don't think the remake one is bad/worse. That said, I understand being disappointed in the changes because if you hadn't told me they were the same song... I don't think I would have been able to tell. At least, not in the moment. It sucks when something you love is changed in a way that it's hard to recognize.
    The voice acting sounded serviceable. *shrug* I've had to put up with worse.

    • @rewt3406
      @rewt3406 6 лет назад +4

      What I think The Completionist wanted from the game is as follows:
      A feeling that the world is alive and real. The stages and areas just have still three-dimensional figures that do nothing. If they were going to go for a realistic look then it will feel off compared to what it really is. Lets take the part in 13:40 for example. The flowers don't flow in the wind nor the trees, and the lilli pads don't flow down the stream. The grass looks so bright which doesn't work well with characters who are also bright and colorful.
      Going through school and also learning from big company mistakes, you only need realistic looking objects in scenes where it can be used properly. Secret of mana doesn't need this and could had played off of a more Pokemon esc look. Not entirely but just enough of a more darker tone.
      When it comes to music, its also good to note that depending on how you want the player to feel determines what you play during a certain event. The Completionist compares two tracks: one sounds energetic but magical while the other sounds more slow and calm. If I were to be going through a dungeon or battle, I would not play this music. In fact, I might not even play this music even while in a town. The remade music would fit better in a more cut scene like moment.
      And the bugs are a issue. No game should release with problems. It hampers the fun of the game.

    • @cronoesify
      @cronoesify 4 года назад

      The remake IS better - nostalgia is what puts the original over the remake. The remake was a directional misstep - but the execution of that direction (choosing to give SOM the AOM treatment) was actually quite fine.
      The problem is people heavily overrate the original game, so when they are looking at those mechanics in a modern light, there is a constant lingering desire for more than what was given.
      Trials of Mana seems like SE understood that lesson - remaking a console game, even a console game from 25 years ago, is almost always going to have greater expectations than remaking an old game boy game that no one played.

    Yikes, the visuals in game are in dire need of post processing effects and better lighting effects. Also, a lot of areas he has shown in the video look really flat because the artists have over relied on textures and normal maps rather than actually modeling the environment. That's bad... That's really bad. I think I'll play the original on my SNES instead. With the exception of the Resident Evil Remake, I have not seen a single remake that has better than or even as good as the original.

I mean, frankly, when you were trying to show off the "problems" with the music and the new graphics, I thought you were crazy... they sounded/looked fine to me. But, even though I've never played the original, I can totally see that you simply have a preference for it and it's artstyle over the new direction. And that is okay in my book, as it is your opinion and you are entitled to it. That said, the crashing issue is somewhat concerning. That needs to be fixed.
