The downfall of the Mana series isn't the World of Mana bs or any of that. It's that Square feels it has to innovate with every title, so they tack on useless system after useless system and makes the game too complicated for its own good. All you need is to level up your weapon skill (to 9, not 99), and your magic skill (same), and ocassionally get better weapons and armor than you currently have. No smithing shit with extra trinkets to give bonus points for random shit; no gathering extra elemental sprites that do you not a bit of good unless you're the right job; and really, no jobs. Give that shit up.
Just fighting and levelling, that's all you need, Square. You got the music and art down perfectly, so just go back to old school for the game mechanics. Additional Spam:
Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, that's fair enough. I rented the game constantly, and would play other people's save games*, so the plot was all over the place for me. Didn't matter, though, since the game was spot on for everything else.
* It wasn't until later that I realized that may have been a rude gesture. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

god I would kill for a game to basically lift SoM's gameplay wholesale... This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
