ON FEBRUARY 17TH, 2021, A NINTENDO DIRECT ANNOUNCED THAT THIS AMAZING GAME IS COMING TO THE SWITCH AND IT LOOKS BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE!!! (and it's also coming to PS4 and Steam, but I'll be getting it on the Switch because playing Legend of Mana on my PSP/Vita for the past decade has made me never want to go back to not being able to play my favorite game anywhere I please)

Legend of Mana has been my favorite game since I was 8 years old. Nearly 20 years have passed and I still think about this game. Happy to find another who loved it!

There are So Many Subsystems in this game. Weapon stills, movement abilities, weapon forging, spellcrafting, fruit farming, monster ranching, robot building, world map element building, new game + with multiple difficulty settings, multiple quest lines, a variety of fun party members, including hidden quests and party members, multiplayer... there's just sooo much going on in this game. I'm hecka hype for the new switch port.

I played that game when I was 9 years old. I was born in 1991. We played it with my brother and cousin but we did not finish the game because the CD was gone. Then our relationship with my cousin was ruined because he is the reason why the Cd dissappeared. Then 15 years later we finished the game with my brother. Then there is a time a very rare chance that me, my brother and my cousin accidentally in the same place and that is the first time we had a convo to our cousin since the CD gone. We already grown ups and have kids. And we shared to him that we already finish our favorite game. And hes so very happy to know it. Thats my Legend of Mana story. Our favorite childhood game ever.

This has been my favorite game for well over a decade and I still don't think anything will ever top it. I love Legend of Mana with all of my heart

Thank you so much for talking about this game which seems to be ignored by so many. I love this game so much especially for it's soundtrack. A few other PS1 games I really love are Chrono Cross, SaGa Frontier, Suikoden, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Arc The Lad 1-3, and Tomba 1 and 2.

Legend of Mana just announced a Remaster! This was my Favorite game of all time as well, I cannot wait!

HYPE HYPE SWITCH PORT W/ REMASTERED SOUNDTRACK

they should have a Legend Of Mana Remake or Remaster, I'd buy it >,

I have found my people, I LOVE LOM!!

your uploads always make my day better hope you're doing well in those troubling times

those little character interactions, is the reason why i keep coming back to this game 👍

I kinda want them to remake this game. I'm also kind of scared what will happen if they do. Also talk about Sword and Dawn of Mana.

Remake on its way. Just pre purched!

So love the sound and scenes in this game. Definitly bring me to the fairy tale

Timeless art, that's what makes this one aged like wine. Looks better than every other ps1 game now.

I had this game back in the PS1 days... And I loved it! Wish we had more Mana games like this.

I remember when this game first came out... the 2d graphics were just amazing for it's time... I loved that game.

I am buying all the legend parts of my PS1 because I want to play this game again. Ahhh, nostalgic.

Thank you very much for featuring this game! I finished this game in the early 2000's.. But while I was watching your video, it seem that I have tons of scenes that I have not even unlocked and/or experienced! I will definitely play this again :)

My Dream Home is the Tree Home in Legend of Mana.

So you're playing the remaster I take it. Great video man! Always nice to see someone else geek out about this amazing game.

-Hears Dudbear Language- aaah, I understand you completely. Dub! also LoM is also my no.1 game of all time, hands down. It has everything I've ever wanted in an RPG.

Legend of Mana was my first RPG, and for that it holds a very special place in my heart

Also, I think it's so interesting how a huge part of my playthrough involved growing the fruits and documenting their effects and so on in my notebook, I was obsessed! Similar to how I was obsessed with finding all uses for all ingredients in Skyrim

I'm Niccolo, a peddler of smiles!

I love this game too. I remember when I bought it the sales clerk was thrilled to be introducing me to this beautiful game. I have been looking through the strategy guide recently, just for the artwork. Thanks to your enthusiasm, I will begin playing Legend of Mana again for the first time in about 20 years.

thank you for making this video. this is also my favorite video game and i literally never knew that pearl and elazul would talk to rubens. it shocks me that im still learning new things about this game over 20 years later.

Not sure why youtube hadn't recommended this earlier but I'm glad it did. I absolutely love this game. Bought it when it came out and back then I had just moved from out of state so It was the only game I had at the time. I've played it many times and loved it for all the same reasons you covered in here. It makes me happy to see that my own kid loves and plays this game on his switch lite. I've let him discover it for himself and he goes back to playing it every now and then.

I loved this game when I was younger. I think i only played through 2 or 3 times though, and didnt change up my play style enough to experience all 67 quests. I gave my copy to my younger sister years ago, and i dont think she has it anymore, but now that i know i can get it on my ps3, i may have to do that this weekend! great video, definitely gave me nostalgia!

Awesome game, great video! You took me back to my childhood!

This is one of the few games I love to replay every two to three years, just because my english gets better and better and I love to understand what's happening, but also because this game is unique in every level. I was about to replay it this month but I found the remaster on Steam so here we go wait a few more months to play it again this time with better quality xD

Excited for the Remaster!!! Great video! I love Legend of Mana!

Legend of Mana - is my favorite videogame.

Really enjoyed playing when I was a kid because of the freedom, this explains why I also love Skyrim

Listening to someone gush about their favorite game is just so fun. I really need to buckle down and play this one

legend of mana has a pretty good game mechanics.

Soundtrack is full of nostalgia. Art is amazing. Btw, this game is coming to switch!

I got to say, after seeing your very thorough review on this game I remembered why I loved it, and what the other new mana games were lacking. Storytelling, interaction, weapon smithing etc. All of the above have created a whole "Manaverse" to enjoy. I can only wish that Square Enix will find a way to revive this game or the series. Ps. The Jumi arc was the best one I've played.

I just finished up my revisit playthrough after 20 years and the game has aged wonderfully! I always love using the spears and 1H Swords with my pet Chocobo, who I always name Boco haha.

I was like 6,7,8 y/o back then. Now I'm 28 and I still keep on thinking of this game. One of my favorites. I'm glad I was born in the 90s. The egg catching was one of my favorites!

one of the best soundtracks in a square game ever.

Gonna have to try this game again. I never really knew what was going on at the time. I do remember you telling me where to put the levels because it would make them do different things lol.

I love this game, I still play thru it at least once a year... wish it could get a remake

now i want to re-play it again after watching this video!

Wow! You know you made a really pretty game when even HELL doesn't look like that bad of a place! And it's also equally cool that you can straight up talk to fallen characters there! (Weird how there doesn't seem to be a heaven though, I imagine it would have been a gorgeus!)

I also have been saying "Maaaana" for 20 years!

this is my favourite game too!! Played it when I was a kid and was immediately hooked by the art style, characters and soundtrack and I'm so sad there hasn't really been another game like it after all this time. I was scared they weren't going to do anything for it after the secret and trials remakes but I'm super excited for the remake!! June 24th can't come fast enough.

EVERY GAMER SHOULD PLAY THIS. THIS IS A REAL GEM. MUST PLAY!

A remaster of Legend of Mana is coming!

I remember borrowing Legend of Mana from my best friend in Junior High/High School. It was the first digital purchase I ever made on my PSP. God I fucking love this game to hell and back.

Watching your video convinced me pre-order the game :) , thanks

Hey man, appreciate you keeping Legend of Mana love beating. I hope a miracle happens and this gets its well deserved remaster or even a remake.

Dude, thanks for the review! This is also my all time fav RPG!!!

I love this game SO MUCH and I am so excited that it's coming out

Happiness for all! Legend of Mana remaster coming for Switch and PS4! Also, did anyone else notice the statues at 18:36 to be the heroes from Trials of Mana?

Dude I just got this recommended and it's crazy that you did this review really close to when I did my own review of this game lol. I loved this game a lot, and it's probably one of my favorite Mana games so far. The joke of you speaking Dudbear gave me a good laugh because I did a joke about that too. I actually never knew that everyone could die in the Faerie arc, that's crazy. Actually I learned about a bunch of new things from this video, and it's making me want to go for a more complete run next time. Great video man :) Would like to hear your thoughts on the other Mana games. Duda Duba Dubba Dub?

This is a well crafted and thoughtful review. Thanks for posting.

You really speak my words!

Has some of the best art I've ever seen in a game.

One of my favs as well, definitely most fond!

One of the things I remember the most about this game is it's amazing music score

THIS VIDEO MAKES ME WANNA PLAY THE GAME AGAIN. OMGG THIS GAME IS A GEM LITERALLY!

This makes me teary eyed. Because Legend of Mana has always been my favorite game.

I feel so justified in this also being my favorite game! I honestly love it and I squealed when I found out they were re-releasing it this year!

fantastic job relating aspects of the game to present day references.

Thanks for making this - really enjoyed it. I still remember the ending of the jumi storyline. It's really quite poignant. I think this is probably one of my favourite games of all time as well. My only complain is that the battle actions could be a bit smoother, but that's nitpicking since I guess the timing in those actions are typical for Seiken Densetsu games.

Suikoden and Legend of Mana are my fave rpg games. So charming and fun.

Legend of Mana got me through a bad breakup and recovering from heroin addiction last year. Since then ive gone on to play through the rest of the Mana series and am obsessed. About to do another play through of this badboy. Making sure i do the levels in the right order this time lol

Great video Strain! I know that "negative videos" draw in the views but I feel that it is far more satisfying to watch a video where the creator is just expressive positivity and good vibes and this was a joy to watch. (And I can tell this was an important video to you because you wore the shirt that your avatar wears. XD) Also I'm proud of you for pronouncing Mana the way God intended. When I hear hear pearl I think of the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Carrabian. Yeah this looks like a pretty cool game with lots of little things, and I think it's those little things that can elevate a game to that level and the killer sound track. I would love to play this game someday because of all the praise you heaped on to it. once again fantastic video and I hope you have a marvelous day.

Also I love how you subtly referenced the Sword of Mana GBA game, which I also have some fond memories of playing.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!

Yay Legend of Mana love! Awesome to see this :)

Nice game and wonderful review. This channel is extremely underrated in terms of views and subscribers.

When I first got an amazon account this and the strategy guide were the first things I ordered from the site back about 13 years ago.

This is the first game I played on the PS One that made me fall in love with gaming.

Can’t wait for this game!

Legend of Mana is back bois

Definitely one of my favorites of all time. Just recently got my kids (7,9) into it.

Hey somebody besides me played this game😅 It's a shame a few things got lost in translation but it's still great. Thanks for the review before bed mate😅

My uncle bought me this game when I was like 9. I’m 29 now. He found it at a random pawn shop in a small town wrapped in a napkin. For a dollar. I was like cool whatever. Started playing it with my brother and spent like weeks playing it every day after school and falling more and more in love. The music the art the stories EVERYTHING. this game is a work of art. Been my favorite game ever since! Can’t wait for the remaster!

My god, the music in this game is god tier. It gives a lot of nostalgic memories.

Use jump + hard attack for fast battle. miss the day LoM kitchen exist 🥺😢 +1 on most favorite game

Love this game. Thanks for the Review. :D

This is my favorite game of all time 🙌. The soundtrack is amazing .

I don 't have time to watch, but I just wanted to say "cool choice", that and Saga Frontier 2 are beautiful games, and Legend of Mana's soundtrack is one of the best.

It IS mana like "Mona" for sure, we sound like that in Brazil too

Its my favorite as well. I began this year, my first experience with mana was on gameboy final fantasy adventure. At the time playing it i loved it, as a lonely kid with a romantic imagination i fell in love and was captured into the world. Years later at 22 now i come to this game at a time where i have overcome trials and tribulations that have threatened to crush and destroy me. I find this game to be a part of my spiritual journey, it speaks to me in so many ways, the universe and the characters and the worlds and all such things reflect much of the reality i experience in my own world. It reminds me of experience and the pain and joy of living. It helps me. No other game has quite touched me, besides maybe darksouls, nier autamata/replicant, FF6, Ico, Shadows of the colossus, SH2, Earthbound, And yet, Legend of Mana calls for some greater spiritual religious like experience in my life. Its like a dream i never want to wake from, heaven. I believe the greatest games do many things to us, change us and help us grow into who we are, remind us of what we have fallen hopeless of and how to have hope again, challenge us to have peace with one another, inspire us to enjoy life and follow our hearts, etc. Etc. this one may be the quintessence of such a video game experience in my life.

Congratulations.

I love this video. I am starting to try and make streaming a priority and I was going to stream this game. Your video sums up everything I've felt about this game. I want to bring attention to it as well and I'm going to start posting a play thru of it on my youtube channel sometime soon

just gonna hand you this dub my good sir, legend of mana is the first game i ever played when i was a kid and it's still my favorite, and now we get to play it with that gorgeous remastered soundtrack i'm so hyped

this game is a masterpiece. Beautiful art and beautiful songs. I believe there is no game with better OST than legend of mana

I absolutely love this game!

I really need to play this again I hope it gets at least a rerelease in the future. Also I do want to hear about Dawn of mana I saw a trailer of that on TV when i was a kid and always remember it as "that game with a plant sword thing"

Legend of Mana is my favorite game as well. I find myself quoting the Mana Tree opening each time I start a new game.

Golems can be mad tough, but building & programming them is hecka complicated.

I've watched a few different videos from your channel. REALLY well done videos! Your channel should have wayyyyy more subs. Hope all is well with you! :)

Its about damn time.

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LEGEND OF MANA REMASTER

This is absolutely one of my favorite games. I am extremely upset that the remaster is not going to be available on XBox. I can play it on my PS2, but I want that remaster!!
