A lot of modern games try to gravitate towards more "dark" hyper realistic visuals and I never found them appealing to begin with. Games like the Mana series will always be timeless, because their aesthetics are far more vibrant, whimsical, and elegant. They're just really pretty to look at and I'm glad Square hasn't forgotten about it with this new entry.

Oh my god MANTIS ANT!! I've come here to nerd out with all my fellow SOM fans. I only just recently came back from Japan where I purchased a boxed copy of Secret Of Mana for the SNES and was flicking through the instruction book the other night and felt some serious nostalgia. Then now this has popped up! I haven't played the remake, but watched a bit, but doesn't seem for me, I did play trails of mana on the switch (not the new version, but kind of like a port of the old unreleased version) and would really recommend this to anyone that hasn't played it and loves SOM, it takes the formula and expands on it, makes you think of what they stripped out of the original Mana game and what we missed. I think it's excellent, you never think playing an older game that you didn't grow up playing wouldn't be that amazing as it doesn't have the exact nostalgia but Trials of Mana definitely hits differently. This visions game looks interesting nice to see rabites, mushbooms and even the Mana Tree! Hope it does well and will definitely be looking into this. Now if you'll excuse me I have some SOM soundtracks to go and listen to. I recommend the SOM medley by Sarah on youtube! Enjoy my fellow Mana nerds!

And although I love the series, Imo All mana games had some sort of flaw in the battle system that killed the flow a bit. That said the world and the design is really nice. Clearly they used HACCAN as the artist (very bright and colorful art style), who does a lot of nods to the original artist/designs of the series as well.

Thanks Square for this gorgeous Mana announcement!

Thirty years ago I bought my SNES to play Secret of Mana. Thirty years later it remains my favorite game of all time. Could not be more excited for this release! Thank you Square.

Well i just had myself a nice happy cry! I was not expecting this. The 'new mainline console Mana game" announcement was back in June of 2021, and it's been silence since then. I figured it was quietly shelved.

Looks awesome! Mana series has a special place in my heart. Illusion of Gaia started my interest in action RPG's and Secret of Mana "bridged the gap" to turn-based RPG's (if that makes sense)

I waited to post something witty or clever but there's no words to express my excitement and gratitude for this. Mana has always been my favorite series and after the wonderful remakes of Secret (I know it's been divisive but I loved it) and Trials, this trailer alone was worth watching TGA. I actually gasped. Take your time, make this the best Mana we've ever seen!

Used to play the Secret of Mana with my little sister back in the early 90s. I’m 49 now. Looking forward to “visiting” the world of Mana again 🙂

As a long time Square Enix and Mana fan, this was a long time coming, and it looks amazing! Can't wait!

Oh man! It captures the vibes of the old games really well!

I was 19 years old when i first played Secret of Mana , it was the first action Rpg i ever played and it opened up a world i never knew existed...and now im 48 years old. Awesome to see Mana again and it still has that same charm i remember from all those years ago. It looks beautiful, i'm gonna have to get this and now my daughter can play it too.

Trials of Mana is one of the best games I've played, I'm so looking forward to this. Hopefully there's a physical collector's edition!

Trials of Mana WITH A BUDGET YESSSS

The 3D transition of the classic style looks absolutely amazing, can't wait to see this next year!

Absolutely. It looks like it could have the magic I've been missing from the series since Seiken Densetsu 3.

I guess it's because when I think of the Mana series I always go back to Secret of Mana, but I thought of this as a Nintendo game. I'm glad it will be multi platform and I'll definitely grab it on steam. I know SoM was flawed but the art direciton and music and overall experience was amazing. Hoping this will be awesome.

I actually started crying after the first few notes because I could hear that it was a mana game

THE MANA SERIES IS THE LEGENDARY COMEBACK FOR MORE!!!! Its give of tears of joy bring the mana series since I played Secret, Trials of Mana.

Amazing!! Hoping it includes co-op like Secret of Mana on SNES

Be assured it won't, its just there to kill the legacy of heroes all throughout time who rose to destroy evil empires. This is propaganda not myth, it is rot and suffering of our generation. The modders will fix this game good, prepare for their release.

Oh man, I can't wait for more info on this. I hope it's built around a lot of the principles of the Trials remake even though the combat is obviously different. Gosh, the art style is spot on in this, so is the music, I recognized it was mana within a couple seconds during the game awards. Also...I noticed a Flammie in battle...a very small Flammie but...oh my!

I was 18 years old when I played this classic, I hope this will do it justice as the remakes did not. I will always be a secret of mana fan; I remember going to great lengths to obtain this game along with Chrono Trigger. Square it's time for you guys to reclaim your throne and I'm here for it.

played Secret of Mana on the SNES with my little sisters, a three player game was perfect for us and our dad got the extension you needed for three players, amazing memories

I AM SO HYPE!

I really enjoy playing Secret of Mana back on the Snes era and now i can play it on my Xbox series X 💚

BoTW & ToTK are finally making SE give the SoM series a real look again. I just hope they do it justice! It looks awesome!

i'm just happy to see that Square hasn't forsaken the Seiken series to just remakes and remasters. Its great to see a new instalment and I have been waiting a long time for this.

Very happy with square recently keep it up

Eh, they've had some great stuff these past 2 years but also a lot of hot garbage. This looks promising though

A new Mana game. I must be dreaming.

Loved this game, the multi-player aspect made it the best game ever. I hope it holds up

My first Jrpg on the Super Nintendo Serect of Mana... omg i loved it so much. Techique wise it wasn't that revolutionary, but the STORY and the MUSIC was out of this world at that time. I cried the first time ever over a video game because of the Mana Tree.

MANA IS BACK!!!

The Secret of Mana was a game that stood out on the SNES. The vibrant colours and lively art style paired with the innovative fighting system made it one of the best games back than, I hope this game lives up to that.

That game was so simple and yet so great ,I don't understand why it was so hard for them to recapture that same idea and feeling all these years....

@@CornbreadJenkins34 because that wasnt the 1st mana game. the original didnt play the same or even get released in the states or any other country till final fantasy adventure. then they remade it as sword of mana for GBA. the 1st one we played was the 2nd game. they also did a 3rd that was never released ether till trials of mana as a remake. and then a 4th legend of mana. after that its just spin offs.

This is *gorgeous.* I hope it plays half as good as it looks.

It's not a matter of "can we" uphold this legacy. We WILL UPHOLD this legacy and IT WILL be preserved, treasured and loved forever by us all so that we can share it with future generations.

Based on that combat I almost expected that to say "Tales of Mana". I'm excited, but also almost certain we'll be going it alone again. I'd so love to see Square bring back the 3 player co-op of the second game!

FINALLY! I waited two decades for this moment! One of my happiest gaming moments of my life

It's a day we won't soon forget. So freaking amazing. What a moment.

Anytime your able to bring your viewer to an oasis of colors reminiscent to a experience like first time finger painting in kindergarten. Job accomplishment! Another win for Squareenix.

I still remember saving up to buy Secret of Mana on SuperNES...still playing it with my son :)

Love the retro sensibilities of the logo. As if all those pre-FFIV logos maintained into the modern era of digital art resolution.

I loved the Trials of Mana remake so this is going to the top of my list.

Heading that melody at 0:15 took me back to booting up Secret of Mana for the first time. And so cool to see Mantis Ant return.

Loved and played all the Mana games many times through. This definitely has a feel of Legend which imo is the best out of the entire series.

Very nice. I missed the story book style art of the Mana series. Legend of Mana especially was a dream like experience. I hope this does well so we can get some more new entries in other series. Maybe a new SaGa or Chrono game eventually.

Secret of Mana was a classic. Legend of Mana really did take the art to the next level with how much more Playstation could do with 2D. Loved the hand-drawn art style, lush worlds and beautiful music.

For Chrono we need to get the band back together, and I dunno if Masato Kato can handle the stress of being executive producer again, especially cuz alot of Chrono Cross was left on the cutting room floor. That and the final Chrono game in the series needs to happen, we need Dalton finally taken down and reclaim the Zenan mainland after what happened!

So many memories from Secret of Mana. Used to play this together with my brothers and father on the SNES in co-op :D

This looks PERFECT! As a fanatic of the Mana series, especially with Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana and the Trials of Mana remake being among my favorite games of all-time, this has me so excited. I can't wait

I think many of us in our mid to late 30s have very fond memories of playing Secret of Mana alone or with friends. It was a special kind of adventure. Now I'm looking forward to seeing more of something that lets me relive my past....😊

I wish they'd make an HD-2D version of this, because I will always be partial to the pixel aesthetic. _The 3D look is why I didn't bother with Trials of Mana, despite Secret of Mana being one of my all time favourite games..._
