[General Discussion] What the heck has happened with the Mana/Seiken Densetsu franchise? Where's the magic

I actually only liked Secret of Mana and Legend of Mana. SD3 never did it for me and the rest of the series has been considerable suckage.

Also, maybe I'm a minority but Legend of Mana was the pinnacle of the series for me. Played the shit out of that game making some great weapons and I loved the way the game had so many scattered subplots everywhere. Made it easy to pick up and put down while still enjoying the storyline.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There actually is a patch for the ROM to allow someone else to control the dog. I net-played through the whole game that way last year with a friend.

I liked Evermore, but I have a hard time saying it was really a Mana game since an entirely different team created it and it essentially just copied the game mechanics straight from SoM but reduced the main character count -1. Still awesome, though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wasn't sure if the site had it or not but it does. :x

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually I mentioned a patch for Evermore to do that very thing for that game, so of course I've done it for Secret of Mana. I assume the people who acted interested in the patch have probably done it at some point too.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
