Visions of Mana

Personally would review the game as 7/10. Combat is fun but story is basic and not super interesting.

Not Recommended The story has shades of FF7, a major character death that could have been emotionally impactful, but it felt underdeveloped and glossed over, like the developers didn't give it the weight it deserved. Performance was a persistent issue throughout. I experienced severe lag nearly the entire playthrough, which is baffling given I'm running hardware well above the recommended specs. No excuse for this level of optimisation. The world feels paradoxically both large and empty, lots of maps, but little reason to explore them. On top of that, the late-game grind is brutal, and the final boss felt more exhausting than challenging in a satisfying way. The only saving grace is the visuals, which are genuinely stunning. But graphics alone can't carry a game. I finished it solely because I paid for it.

Post Game Edit - Finished it and yea, great game. Solid B tier 8/10 type of fare. There's a new game plus cycle if you'd like to go through it again, and it does a neat thing where the base class can inherit the attributes of the other classes, but this only when you hit the "post" game. Would have been very cool to have unlocked this waaaaay earlier but it seems like it's intended for you to go through NG+ with it in your mind. All in all a really fun game and it scratched the itch I had from waaaay back in my child when I first played Legends of Mana for a bit. I kind of wish everything wasn't as UwU cute as is the trend, everything is too rounded and I rather like more the angular anime look of the past but it's great. Close to the end of the game and figured I can recommend it by now. Cool game, very much a JRPG in the style of like Dragon Quest and all that, but with real time combat. Story is neat. Very positive "friends we make along the way" kind of deal but also rooted in sacrificing your souls for the greater good, which is uhhh fun. Combat's fun. Becomes a bit like pokemon with the elemental weakness stuff becoming more important the further in the game you go. Can probably ignore it for like 70% of the game but that last 30% is gonna be way more important. If you're into these kinds of games, you'll like this one. If you aren't, it's not gonna change your mind. Beginner tip for anyone struggling, give Val the Water Vessel. Not so much for the moves you get, but the vessel itself act's basically as a firehose that can slam enemies against the combat zone's barrier/limit for huge damage. You can clear entire encounters this way super easy and it carried me through most of the game.

このゲームは美しいです

Nah, play the old games, this is pretty bad tbh. The world is pretty, the characters are annoying and not well written. The story is mediocre, the fighting is ass bruh, the hit rec is pretty not there, the enemies are idk what they are, the ai is ass and wont do ♥♥♥♥. Play tales of arise oder trials of mana or any other jrpg like this, most of them are way better. The quality of this game feels off for a square game. 20 is k, everything above is wasted imo.

크으 시각적+청각적으로는 진짜 쩔어준다. 동화같은 분위기에, 향수 자극하는 음악 후반부(5장 이후)많이 봐왔던 연출인데 그래픽이 몰입하는데 한몫한다. 특이 어둠 도서관, 달마을 연출이 ㄷㄷ 성검전설 팬이면 진짜 하세요. 3장까지만 버티면 재미있게 할 수 있음

ひさびさの聖剣伝説のナンバリングだからおすすめにしているけど、 内容はすべての部分で及第点といった所。 終盤までストーリー部分がいまいち感情移入できず、戦闘も単調なので、発売日直後の購入にもかかわらず、 他のゲームを飽きた合間にちょくちょくやってやっとクリアするぐらいにはモチベーションがあがらなかった。 サイドクエストは教科書に出てくる例題のようなものばかりだし、 クラフト要素とか武器防具の取捨選択とか、レアモンスターからのドロップ(魂石以外)とか他ゲームならあたりまえに存在するものがないので広いフィールドは活かしきれているとは思えず、ただ汎用アイテムと精霊の住処を潰していくチェックシートを埋めるような作業感を感じた。 ストーリー部分は根本的に数人程度の御子のいけにえでなんで世界が循環するの？とか、 最終的に想いの力とかいう万能な舞台装置で解決されていて、もっとひねりや説得力を持たせてほしかった所。 キャラクターに関しては、嫌いではないが優等生ばかりだと毒にも薬にもならない会話しかしないので、 もっと起伏に富んだ設定のキャラクターが欲しかった。 あとキャラクターデザインの装飾や色使いに中華ソシャゲ臭がするのが微妙だった。
