I'm always glad to see Trials of Mana on a must play list! Even though the remake has watered down the class system and some abilities are nerfed, it's still such a fun and addictive game.

Remember guys if nintendo decides randomly after the switch 2 what not that they no longer want to support these games they can and constantly do day one patches gone games useless and reviewers who say the switch is dying should be ashamed of themselves because it be their fault for not fighting this atrocity

For me its just too old “school”. The meat and potatoes is the battle gameplay. No fast travel, you just go running from point A to Point B (no sidequests, so few NPC dialogs, towns are boring and just exist to advance the plot), the story its paper thin.

@awetistic5295 9 ай бұрын

@@koxame As someone who grew up in the 90s, I adore classic RPGs. Honestly, NPCs having too much dialogue and countless sidequests are kind of tedious to me. I do have to say that I prefer the original Seiken Densetsu III by a mile, but I still enjoy the remake. The best thing, to me, is the class change system, there are so many possibilities once you got into it. It also helps that the characters are all loveable and I enjoyed how their stories intertwine. So yeah, I guess it comes down to if you like old school RPGs or not. I didn't find a modern action RPG yet that really blew me away.

Good golly, I'll be honest, a lot of these games I have on backlog mode: Trials of Mana, Coldsteel IV, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, YS 8, FF12 Zodiac Age, Tactics Ogre, Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and Dragon Quest 11. Out of these games, I've only completed the exhaustingly long but brilliantly made Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I am currently on Persona 5 Royal trying to beat it before Persona 5 Tactica releases alongside Super Mario RPG. Other titles in this list I wanna get especially Shin Megami 5 and Chained Echos. If only we can freeze time so we can enjoy these games. So many games so little time. Watching Maximillian Good's gameplay of FF15 because I know I aint got the time to get that title to play.

Trials of Mana is pretty good in my opinion. It's simple enough, easy to pick up, beautiful, not demanding; also it doesn't last an eternity as most RPGs nowadays, yet it offers replayability if you want more. Don't feel bad if you want to stop playing it for a few months and then continue it; you'll pick it up where you left it without much re-learning. I'd say the same for Dragon Quest XI, another easygoing game, with charm and a simple/classic story line.

I have to disagree on Ys 9, 8th is a whole ton better than 9. 9 is very gloomy and the story is weak, if not the weakest in the whole series. People say it's saving grace is the combat, but I think it's not that much better than 8. 8 on the other hand is vibrant, has an enormous island to explore, has the best story in the series, it's just perfect (IMO). Unfortunately both titles have this dumbass "forced defend the city" mechanic but it's a lot less annoying in 8 at least.

I love the YS series, and it is one of the best franchises of all time for me. YS 8 and 9 are almost equal, but I still prefer 9. It has greater combat, a darker ambiance, and the traversal is fun and fast (running, gliding etc.). It is a matter of preference when it comes to YS series.
