better a banjoman than this fucking shit
In the living in the donkey kong era, where ingame graphics had the same level of LUSH as the box, seeing this and then the fucking game it was for.. killed me
lucky i didn't buy, it i'd be in a japanese jail about now

It’s kind of not a good game.

I always thought it was weird how the spear has a higher attack value than the Mana Sword, but none of the other weapons do. Why is that?

>braindead magic spam combat that pauses the entire game
>barebones story that may as well not exist
>bland as shit dungeon design
>"amazing" soundtrack is actually like 3 good songs while the rest of the OST is unmemorable
sequel is so much better, shame it never left japan officially

i fucking hate Secret of Mana.
You have to unlock the Co-op, and let me appeal to your common sense here: What sense does that make?
The combat is patience trying, due to having to wait for this meter to charge up, which is fine for a boss, but not for constantly respawning enemies that take at least four hits each.
The music ranges from good to really fucking bad.
The story, well...
>"Before all was lost, a hero with the Mana Sword smashed the fortress"
>smashed
>the fortress
>with a sword
also:
>the Mana Tree is UR MOM LMAO
and don't even get me started on that fucking menu interface holy shit.

Is this game still fun if I don't have people to play it with?

Another round of East Vs West
