Even after trying it out, seeing a new, original mainline Mana entry in over a decade still feels unreal. Fans of the series, especially Trials of Mana, are undoubtedly in for a real treat, a genuine evolution of what has come before. The combat diversity, vibrant setting, and retooled exploration seem fulfilling in this current execution, and I'm eager to see how Visions of Mana handles this highly anticipated coalescence. As for the cast and narrative, I have no standout expectations in that conjoined realm, but the main cast is comprised of different races, providing the opportunity for memorable dynamics I'm hoping to see approach.

Okay, no one gonna comment on the cutscene animation? Cause it looks MILES better than anything we've seen from this series!

It was such a chill game that I could play in short bursts while never getting tired of the experience. I like the addition of mounts in this as well as it seems there is more to explore and collect in the process
This is my most anticipated game this year. I loved the Trials of Mana remake from a few years ago and so am really looking forward to this one. I'll be playing it with the original Japanese dialog though as I don't care for the English dubbing.

I've played Trials of Mana as 3-couchplayer coop and it was fun^^
I pray it's as good as I'm hoping it is. I really liked Trials of Mana, and if this new Mana game is at least as good as Trials, I'll be content.
If it's anything like Trials of Mana I'll be happy. That game was great. Had lots of wonderful costumes, character growth, and replayability.
Looks promising! Thanks for the preview.
I forgot all about this ! Looks great.
Switching between characters mid-battle. Now that's what I like to see.
This looks gorgeous! Can't wait.
Looks like a stunner. ❤
I first need to finish trials, but this one looks great!!! I'll get it for sure.

Looks increible beautiful
you play this game with one hand thank for hard work :D , only i seen they really put work better on cutscreen
im having a blast with trials remake not long ago.. this one gonna be very exciting!
Yeah I think I will check this out.
Okay. I think you convinced e to preorder. I was sooooo on the fence
I'm definitely interested in this game.
I really like how low the damage numbers are. I hope it doesn't go in the thousands quickly.
southern redhead as main (count me in)
Looks good. I loved Trials of Mana remake. Colours are gorgeous.
I already like the classes I see
I love this! I might consider buying a new laptop to play it on Steam
Looks cute and colorful and the combat fun, that's all they need to get me to buy something.
I love this map design of jrpgs there nothing more annoying than a huge open world in which 30% is empty. I can’t wait for tor this game it looks really fun and well designed
Looking amazing
I finally went through trials of mana a few months ago, although I found some personal issues with the game I really enjoyed it and I hope this one is just as good with some improvements. If they are going off trails of mana which is what it looks like I’m pretty excited for this.
Never played the mana series but this looks fun
oh wow I thought this was another Mana remake, good for them for resurrecting the series!
I'm still sceptical, but it's worth playing for the visuals and all the beautiful monsters alone. I see a Minos Hedgehog in 3D, look at the cute critter...!
Looks good, after Granblue ReLink this will be added on my collection. I really hope the Devs will separate the ambient sounds from everything else as I’ve never seen this done before.
Again a Day 1 purchase for Backlog
looks good but i really wish it had coop
So Hinna is a non-playable character uh. I get this feeling that she's going to be kidnapped very early in the game.

I was listening audio only, at 6:10 ish it switches over to in game battage footage and the battle audio is pure noise pollution. Great video though
Looks like Tales Of… + Ni No Kuni. I'm so in.
This would be a day one for me on the Switch. I guess I’ll just wait if it does come out on the next Switch.

If they going to add multiplayer, i hope its just an option. Not a mandatory to finish a quest.
The music direction is my biggest worry. What I've heard feels very generic. I think the music is part of what makes a good Mana game.
No Switch...
Not gonna stop being salty about the lack of multiplayer though...Mana was almost defined by its multiplayer co-op. Heck I remember poor Legend of Mana being SLAMMED by reviewers for being "only 2 player" and not 3 player. The fact that we so easily throw away multiplayer co-op again and again and again is legitmately heart breaking. There is a serious co-op crisis going on in gaming this past generation with so many former co-op games abandoning it and no one caring because we all live such lonely lives in the modern day. Finding something as simple as a Gauntlet-esque game for Switch is near impossible. I am deeply glad that at least Trinity Trigger exists, but I won't deny that that game is also quite disappointing in its overly simplistic mechanics. This game looks AMAZING...but I am sad.
why is it always 2 handed weapon and sheath in the back. For once I want to see a protagonist with one handed sword, with sword sheath in the waist.
I guess I'll be muting VA again.
I am waiting for 2D action rpgs...
god i'm so disappointed. the snes games were so cutting edge in terms of arts n stuff. i'd argue that that seiken densetsu 3 is one of the most beautiful and distinct pixel games ever made. this however... this looks like genshin.
to be honest, RPGs look all the same, maybe the level of detail improves but... this looks like Dragon Quest 8. a game from 20 years ago. green fields, cartoony monsters, anime characters...

@@NoisyPixelNews I think that's valid and fair. Your headline does give the glowing praise of "This is the Mana We've Been Waiting For". It seems a little like it COULD be, at the outset it seems a little like they recycled and polished some Trials concepts without doing anything new I fear that we're seeing a trend from Square-Enix of overwhelmingly safe, easy-to-digest games that do not provide a lot of actual dynamism or value

@@concreteclub Looks like a fun game. So why the skepticism? Trials of mana was always a test run for the next game in the series. I think your expectations are a bit ridiculous. You really thought they’d go back to the one experimental game in the series in terms of structure and design? In terms of play it safe games, it’s not the 90s anymore where games were cheaper to develop. Risks can’t really be taken as much anymore, that’s why a lot of these games are bleeding together. Most jrpgs are becoming big colorful open zone action rpgs because that’s what’s doing the best. They don’t have the luxury of not trying to make a game that will sell.

It looks great my only complaint that I hope this game fixes is the difficulty because the Trials of Mana remake (compared to the original) was way too easy, like, insultingly easy. Even on the hardest difficulty, super-bosses were a complete joke, let alone the standard mobs/bosses. At the very least, they should make the A.I reaction time faster or respond quicker to getting attack and players spam dodging out of attacks.
