It's like a dream come true! As long as they don't fuck it up, that is.

Why this and not one of Square's more popular old IPs? They have plenty that are more well-known than this that need a remake. What the fuck are they doing?

SD3 when?

Japan. You can't just remake games from the most beloved series unless you are doing it for the western audience in super triple AAA graphics (FFVII)

When pandering moreso to Japan, you have to take a liked series but not insanely rabid fanbase one that has appeal in Japan, and then hand over the translated scraps to NA/EU.

>squenix in charge of knowing what fans want
be glad you're not a live-a-live fan outside of japan

like SaGa?
they're already doing that

based as fuck

>!?

Fuck off.

There is no need to be upset, my friend.

It feels like my childhood memories are getting raped

Is it coming to the Switch? It would be great to play on the go.

I was excited when I first heard about it, but after seeing the trailer I'm just disappointed. They turned one of the most beautiful sprite games of the SNES era into a generic looking chibi game with PS2-level graphics.

I don't want the budget and graphics of a AAA game. But they clearly could have put more heart into this project.

>Muh childhood

Get real the original game wasnt that great.

>Getting knocked out was frequent which would result in unfair losses
>Translation was bad that you couldnt tell what to do at certain points
>Unless it was intentional, stacking magic was OP

Vita, PS4 and PC only. Either they are saving money or got a deal in with sony

As I said, my new goal is to stay alive until February 2018.

You can tell the made it for the Vita and then ported it elsewhere

NEVER EVER

It was great but it looked great for it's time
And it still looks a lot better than the remake today

>nintendo cucked out of the remake for one of their nostalgiafag games
it's like pottery

I'll play it again if they actually made changes to the combat so magic isn't OP pause time in menu shit.

I wonder how hard it would have been to make the entire game look like the claymation stuff they used in a lot of the original promos.

>TFW I haven't played Secret of Mana yet

I mostly just played Final Fantasy and Pokemon as far as JRPGs go when I was a kid. I've been catching up for the last few years, but 30 something JRPGs in and it seems there's still a lot to go.

>Why this and not one of Square's more popular old IPs? They have plenty that are more well-known than this
Like what? All I can think of is CT. And they're already remaking FF7, so they won't be touching any other FF titles for awhile.

FUCKING POTATOES

secret of mana is a popular older ip you faggatron. whats more deserving? the mana series kicks ass and I can actually see it being a game they could make better with modern amenities

They're just going to shit-can it like they did the Chrono Trigger 3D remake.

I've already finished this game like 20 times and I'll play it again, now. For some reason, I'm sure the original SNES game or even the Android version will be the superior experience, but I'm interested in what this will bring to the table.

If this could put the Mana serie back on tracks, my life would be like 40% better.

This is gonna be a fun little trip down memory lane. Totally worth it for $40.

I just want a legend of mana remake

I don't have a Switch, but I wish it did just so more people could experience this game.

confession time

I never got passed like the first stage (when you get it as an icon on your map) of legend of mana despite beating SD1 and then loving SD3.

That's neat.

Wake me up when they remake SD3.

legend of mana was one of the worst games ever made anyways. Seriously, what a disappointment. I actually felt bad that my mother bought it for me when it came out because it was so bad and I just couldn't enjoy it

This post made me sad for some reason.

Is your mom alright ?

You are now remembering heroes of mana

yes, but legend of mana never recovered. What a truly horrible game.

Well if you're both good, that's nice.

Never played Legend Of Mana.

That's a nice blank picture user.

Online co-op on PC would be great

No

NO

NOOOOOOOOOO

Oh, shit. I even forgot this was a possibility.

Have you seen the trailer for this one? There's no way in a million years they could do LoM justice. One of the best thing about that game is how it looks, and they'd fuck it up big time.

...

Not if it acted like the original co-op. Having entire game pause if anyone goes in menu or uses magic. Being limited to the same screen as each other so shit like having to move closer to each other if you get stuck on a ledge and the screen scrolled past the exit of the ledge was really stupid. Hopefully the remake fixes all that.

Yeah, I bet they'll revamp it.

SD3 Remake soon right?

There is no way you will be able to freely explore the area, even for online co-op. I could see them making the combat more real time though

I agree but I just want to be able to play it in 3d at least once, legend of mana is one of my favorite games of all time

It's one of the best Mana games, if not THE best. Best atmosphere and music by far, and the individual stories of the 3 main quests are all more unique and interesting than anything in SoM or SD3. Combat is pretty wonky and very easy, but it's never been a hard series in the first place.

>On PC too
FUCK YES

Cool. I may pick it up on Vita.

>the minimap is the actual map from the snes

That's... a really neat idea.

>Hawkeye
That's a funny way of spelling Carlie.

>Lise
>Master anything

And why the fuck not? It is a complete remake and not some remaster on the same old SNES engine. What possible reason would they have to limit 2 or 3 players on the same exact screen. I'm not talking the same map, but the same screen dimensions. That is like if you are in a town together, player A B and C have to be in the same tiny screen and never move away from each other to like say the north and south end.

T-there's still time for a remake of FFVI for the 3DS, r-right?

>for the 3DS
No, fuck off. It will be PS4 exclusive.

any tips on finding someone online to play with on snes9x?

force ur irl friends to play

>ur
Time to kys yourself, my dude.

They should do this with Xenogears and Live A Live.

Terranigma remake with a U.S. release WHEN?!?!

You really shouldn't get hype for this, the last time they said they'd do a 3D remake of an old game of theirs they cancelled it.

The characters look like their artwork

DAY 1 BUY
maybe if they get money they'll put in the budget these games deserve

Looks like an improvement over the Adventures of Mana remake which was already pretty good.

Is it worth doing it multiplayer?

wait for the remake

Not quite, some of the colours are off. But i get whatchu mean and i also think thats pretty rad.
I can forgive the colours thing since having a tiny map like that might make some things hard to notice

They better get this fight right--music and all: youtube.com/watch?v=cPJgzbGwdyI

The 3D remakes are always underwhelming. They take a beautiful classic 2D game and turn it into a low class polygon nightmare.

Maybe if it was on 3DS or Switch it would be cool as a cute little portable game, like FF3 and FF4, but not as a PS4 title.

...

It's on the Vita which is fine enough for me.

>have pre-order costumes ready, a release date ready and doing full advertising

There's no way this will get canned.

Why the fuck does it matter? People who own a PS4 but not nintenbro want to play it, too. Stop being a butthurt retard just because it isn't on your precious nintendo consoles

You fuckers buy this, so we can get Seiken Densetsu 3.

>Using ugly as fuck IOS-tier polygon models
>Not using beautiful HD/UHD sprites
>Cringey voice acting

Not interested.

Depends on whether the Vita version gets an LE or not. If it's digital only I'll probably skip it.

they should either add some lighting or go for cell shading

Christ the 3D is awful. I'm not just saying this through nostalgia goggles either. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the orchestrated music (if any).

Bitch, dat tiger two piece. Preorder locked and loaded.

...

>meanwhile outside of Sup Forums people are excited for this

Why is Sup Forums full of contrarian faggots?

We see through the bullshit. The truth is rarely exciting.

>other people have shit taste
Imagine the shock.

Hope the iron out some of the fighting mechanics:

>Magic is OP early-mid game
>Even when you've got a shit ton of orbs for all of the weapons, there's no real point in using anything else but the sword/axe/spear as all other weapons do less damage, even at the same orb level
>No point in charging your attacks, it takes way too long and positioning the attack is tedious, crits are more reliable
>The combat flow chart is the same every fight: Randi hits, knocks down the enemy, Prim hits, Popoi hits, end with magic spam until dead.
>Leveling said weaponry and even magic is a grind
>A lot of the bosses are palette swaps, same for enemies

>DUAL AUDIO

You're only allowed to like one thing here.
The Adventures remake was already great. I already played the originals tons of times, i'll gladly play a new version

But that's not true at all you faggot. It genuinely looks underwhelming.

Well, that's like your opinion man

And my opinion is right.

Then don't buy it or pirate it or something instead of complaining about something that might've never happened anyway

t. retard

Ah yes good old Sup Forums objective opinions

Doesn't the Switch have the original with SD3 included?

Nobody is talking about sales though. It just looks underwhelming.

Sup Forums fell for the Switch meme.
