The Mana series is the closest that Square Enix comes to a B-grade franchise. That’s not to say the games released under its name are bad (I’m one of the very few that genuinely love Children of Mana on the Nintendo DS), but with the exception of Secret of Mana, this series has never really produced what could be called a truly classic title.
Are you excited for the forthcoming Visions of Mana? This retrospective of the Mana series will tell you all about the franchise thus far.
The Mana series has been around for decades and spawned multiple titles in that time. Here's how each title ranks up.
Final Fantasy Adventure will always be remembered as the game that started the Mana series, a blend of traditional RPG elements and real-time action, with towns to explore, dungeons to conquer, and a variety of useful weapons, but its overriding sense of the melancholy and tragic aspects of honor will always strike a harsh chord with those who enjoy picking up a sword to save a world that they themselves will never be allowed to enjoy.
"its overriding sense of the melancholy and tragic aspects of honor will always strike a harsh chord with those who enjoy picking up a sword to save a world that they themselves will never be allowed to enjoy."
I really don't understand this line... How do these even correlate at all? It's not like these two aspects contradict one another.
PR groups assigned to selling a title often have no idea what the game they're selling is about. Hence the vomited nonsense.
