Trials of Mana (Xbox Series X) ReviewOct 8, 2024 - CGMagazineXbox gamers, who have long been starved for Square Enix’s biggest titles on their platform of choice, are finally “eatin’ good.” The Japanese publisher has begun to fulfill its recent commitment to “aggressively pursuing a multiplatform strategy,” which includes Nintendo platforms, PlayStation, PC, and Xbox. While Square Enix has made similar promises in the past, often followed by awkward handshakes, it was the release of the company’s 14-year-old MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox consoles last March that officially solidified the company’s improved relationship with Xbox. With hints of Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Remake potentially on the way, the partnership has only grown stronger. In the wake of this milestone and a well-timed stealth drop by Square Enix at last month’s 2024 Tokyo Game Show, the publisher has continued this goodwill towards Xbox players. Trials of Mana, Legend of Mana, and the much-celebrated Final Fantasy Pixel...

As the sun falls beneath the skyline, all the spectators wait with bated breath, hoping to be chosen as an alm. The Faerie finally descends before Val's friend, appointing her the Alm of Fire.

Geralt from The Witcher 3 and Zelda from Breath of the Wild join Trials of Mana with these modsOct 11, 2020 - PCGamesNGeralt from The Witcher 3 is now an anime game protagonist. A set of mods insert him, along with Zelda and Link from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, into the RPG game, so we can all live our RPG crossover fantasies. Created by user619, the mods replace the standard hero character skin with that of whatever leading character you choose. Geralt, massive JRPG sword in hand, is now Duran, a "proud young soldier from Valsena, Kingdom of the Plains". Everything else is untouched, leaving ol' grumpy faced Witcher-man of Rivia in the middle of this bubbly anime action-adventure game where the proportions are just a bit off and the colour scheme's a rainbow assault on the eyes. The video demo below has Kingdom Hearts vibes, if Sora was found about 25 years later after spending all that time as a private mercenary. The Link and Zelda mods are much less of a clash. Zelda replaces Riesz, a young princess, and her mod comes with a few Nintendo enemies like goombas and boo, too. Link just replaces Duran, like Geralt. Read the rest of the story...

Ярчайший представитель жанра постоянно напоминает нам, сколько замечательных тайтлов имеет в загашнике и радует ремейками и ремастерами. В то же время Sega, Capcom и Konami напрочь забыли о чудесном наследстве, а Atlus и Bandai Namco изредка предпринимают попытки тряхнуть стариной, но слабовато.

The Trials of Mana Demo is back on the Steam Store!May 1, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHey again everyone, We're happy to share that the Trials of Mana Demo is now back on the Steam Store! If you have yet to start your adventure, you can download the demo now, and for those that previously downloaded and played the demo your progress has been carried over 😃 Thanks for your patience! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35220681/744bee7a4bf5baf78bbfec5cda184631c5e71f6c.pngTrials of Mana and Final Fantasy 7's fine remakes also show us what's been lost along the wayApr 30, 2020 - EurogamerYou know the adage, I'm sure. You wait an age for Square to revive one of its beloved 90s RPG epics, then one comes along and causes such a stir you almost completely miss the second one that follows in its immediate wake. Or something like that, anyway. While Final Fantasy 7 Remake is an outlandishly expensive and extravagant exercise in blockbuster modern gaming, for better and for worse, the Trials of Mana remake is a much humbler affair, as its more modest launch attests. It's just as valid a revival, though, even if it isn't without its own faults. Chief among those is something you can't really blame Trials of Mana itself for. This doesn't have the warm veil of nostalgia around it like Final Fantasy 7, simply because Trials of Mana never really had an outing beyond Japan until a translation of Seiken Densetsu 3, as it was originally known, popped up in last year's Collection of Mana, and as such it's only the truly dedicated who have any vintage memories of the action RPG. I certainly can't pretend to have any of my own, and muddling through the first few hours of the 16-bit Trials of Mana was my first experience with the game. So one good thing about this new Trials of Mana is that it's a lot less muddled. This is, from the foundation upward, still an eccentric take on the RPG genre - you pick your party from a cast of six from the very off, and are locked into your chosen trio for the remainder of the game, while the actions that complement your standard attacks are carried out via a fiddly ring menu system - but it's been de-fussed. You're still locked into your choice here, but the combat is much less fiddly and easier to parse - indeed, when you have a full party and are flitting effortlessly between the three, it's got a supremely satisfying flow.

Ihr könnt ein Trio aus sechs einzigartigen Charakteren » Komplette News auf pressakey.com lesen Secret of Mana and the art of a good boxJun 17, 2019 - EurogamerWe don't talk about box art so much around these parts any more. Maybe that's because we don't see much by way of video game boxes anymore - they're fast becoming a thing of the past, for better and for worse. Playing the surprise Switch release of The Collection of Mana recently, though, I was reminded of the power of a strong piece of cover art - and of an artform that's in danger of being lost. I never played Secret of Mana first time around in the 90s, though it's lodged in my consciousness just as firmly as all those SNES classics that I did. It's one of those games that was a constant presence on shelves of game stores - remember them! - usually nestled behind the counter, a luxurious item that was available on import those long months it took to finally come to Europe. There was always something special about Square's 16-bit RPGs of the time - something exotic, these entire universes condensed into a single cart, and that feeling was only underlined here in Europe by how expensive these things were. For most ordinary 11-year-olds, unless you got lucky and had a friend with rich parents, these things were almost entirely out of reach. And, when you're a kid, when something's out of reach you tend to fixate on it. Read more Lost source code is holding up Square Enix's preservation plansJun 13, 2019 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunSquare Enix have been digging deep into their vaults the past few years, including several more restored gems announced at E3. They aim to make their whole back catalogue available digitally, but there’s one big obstacle. As CEO Yosuke Matsuda admitted when talking to Game Informer “I’m embarrassed to admit it, but in some cases, we don’t know where the code is anymore”. It’s a common story in the games industry, and one of the biggest obstacles to properly preserving games. When recovery efforts fail, some studios have had to cleverly work around their missing code.
