i would rather work up my classes and class change someone else to a heeler than use Charlette. I cant stand her voice .every other voice in the game is ok. cant stand her voice in English. Japanese is good but the English voice of her sucks. i think they were going for we are going to annoy you a lot and put it on the best healer in the game route

Never used her in the SNES version and despite that she gets just as much story progression as the 2 secondary characters that you pick. If I were to have her in my party the game would have just been the Charlotte show.

I know I'm late, but in my first playthrough of the game, I had Charlotte as my third and while I was all like "oh sweet lucifer" when she first opened her mouth, she definitely grew on me throughout the game. In my third go I think I'm going to have her as my protagonist, partly because I'm not sure she can even get the leverage required to pull the sword out due to being so short, and that sounds really funny to me.

Just skip the cutscenes they're the worst part of the game anyway

Tell me about it. This obsession with making games look as realistic as possible is a total money pit that is destroying video games. Just make the game look like a cartoon. It's fine. Even the Last of Us still could have delivered the same punch without it's realistic graphics.

Too bad. My shit PC wouldn't be able to run it anyway xD

Ahmen

This screams for a AAA remake of Legend of Mana.

I'm really happy it's selling so well. It has rough spots for sure but it's a great game.

@@dennisg.517 If Legend of Mana gets a remake with a higher budget than Trials, I quit.

E-!

Literally the series in nutshell

Legend of Mana remake incoming.

@@drugsilove2364 it ended up being a remaster instead...

McM Qsmith yess! I have tales of the abyss

@@solodecade tales of vesperia was one of my favorites

I'm playing Vesperia right now

@@solodecade Abyss is where it's AT

@@DanielSantosAnalysis Yes Abyss is the best

I think the same was true for his Japanese VA too! And it somehow works!

I just played Secret and Adventures shortly before FF7R came out and yeah...both games would've been a lot better if they altered the combat a bit like they did with Trials...especially Adventures (it was just not fun to play at all that halfway through i gave up on playing it and just watched the rest of the story on KZfaq...story was a meh too). Secret was a bit better than Adventures but it wasn't until the last few dungeons that i even figured out that you had to hold the attack/charge button to use different skills based off the weapons level that do loads more damage so i was primarily relying on normal attacks and magic to kill enemies (and the normal attacks took forever lol). I thought the way skills worked in the game was similar to how it worked in Adventures where you had to wait until the charge meter under your characters name was completely filled to do maximum amount of damage (which technically was right...if you spammed attack you'd do about single digits damage for most the game) and didn't realize if you had held the button down until a straight line appeared in the gauge and kept holding it the attack would level up and change the attack after a while which dealt a lot more damage for weapon attacks...granted holding it til the attack you wanted (especially for the level 6 or higher attacks) was ready took way too much time that it wasn't really viable since you got hit a lot...and you could still miss due to rng deciding the attack didn't hit. Also i had to look up how to use magic when i started getting spirits cause at first i didn't realize you had to swap from the item wheel to the weapon and magic wheel by pressing up or down on the D pad since i figured they'd do something simiar to Adventures where the weapon and magic wheel rotated by pressing the Square (think it was square...might have been another button though...might have been L1 after pressing square to open the item wheel now that i think of it) after opening up the item wheel...the game gave very little help in telling you how to do some things and left it to either experimentation or looking things up online (for example i had to look up online to learn i could only manually save in inns but the auto save activates after each time you leave a building/enter a new zone/map). Trials on the other hand had a much more fluid combat system, made normal attacks actually viable, no rng included to determine what attacks hit or missed, and just a better camera/faster and more exciting pace going for it. On top of that it actually gave tutorials on how to do things in the game unlike the other 2 remakes. Only honest issue i had with the game was eng voicework was worse than meh and they decided to go with the 1.1 copy of the story and dialogue for the remake which imo was a mistake because the biggest weakness created by doing this was the story and dialogue were the exact same as the SNES version which by today's standard is very meh and the characters (especially characters in the party) barely interact with everyone else besides maybe Farie...imo they should've altered and added more scenes where the characters actually interacted with each other more to give the whole party a stronger cohesive feel because this final product makes it feel more like it's just the chosen character and Farie while the other 2 are sitting in the background most of the time and only there to contribute to battle or their own related cutscenes (mainly the prologue cutscenes or scenes that deal with their faction...and in those scene the chosen MC and other companion winds up taking backstage isntead of really contributing to the dialogue). Ya i know fans wanted a completely faithful remake but by doing so they really wound up bringing a mostly decent, even if cliched, story that was pushed by fairly bland characters (the MCs, npcs, and enemies) due to using SNES era dialogue (which let's be honest here...the dialogue for the SNES era will never win rewards nowadays...it may have been considered good back then but nowadays it's mediocre).

It's ok, the sequel was a bigger and better game in every imaginable way. It may not have the nostalgia effect for you, but it is objectively a superior game, and I am glad they stayed true to it.

@@user-vi3tb3bw5t If the Secret of Mana remake was any good instead of just a port that changed next to nothing gameplay wise, bugs included, then Trials would be getting more love and attention and Square-Enix might even consider making more.

Im actually hapyp the way things are, as SoM overshadowed its previous japan only sequel so hard that blind fandoms didnt wanna get into its sequel. And now after hope being shattered for SoM, Trials of Mana came (just like the 90s, so its a reaccuring event) to fix up the issues and mess SoM left (even if it was widely praised, but because there were no alternatives back then).

It’s usually a hit or miss... sometimes it can be good with an amazing script and direction. But if u have none of that you get mass effect andromeda

@@waterking74 that games story was a mess no amount of well known voice actors would have made it work you could honestly get the entire cast of mass effect 2 and it still would have been a trash story

It's the sense of familiarity. A voice actor can make or break for a person. It doesn't have to be well known in my opinion as long as they did their best. A voice actor can solidify that character and stick with the person so change is hard for most people. At the end of the day, it's a preference

the japanese voices are great the english HELL NO they sound terrible

the story was good, in 1995

@Kitsune Baka I am talking about KaggyFlims here on KZfaq aka the same man who voices not only Hawkeye in the Trails of Mana remake but also Yuri from Fire Emblem Three Houses recently.

That’s called poor game design

In fact, if you plant 6 ??? seeds without upgrading your characters in between, you’ll receive one of each upgrade item. I would’ve expected kbash to know considering he name drops gamefaqs and mentions reading forums when talking about hard mode. This stuff was known within a week.

@@JRDad do you mean like before level 38 upgrades or before even level 18 upgrades?

@@Mr3DLC Before you upgrade to Tier 3. With the exception of the Wind Benevodon (which still reuses Gust Hall as his dungeon) each of the Benevodon dungeons contain a ??? seed. Meaning if you don't upgrade until after you collect 6 seeds, then you have all the options for your current classes. (Which puts you in line with when you get Tier 3 in the original game.)

And you can grind out ??? Seeds in the post game dungeon which all carry over to your next playthrough. Spent a little extra time on playthrough 1 and I never had to grind for 2nd and 3rd run

I prefer the japanese voice over the english one. Because the actress from the english dub for Carlie sounds like a adult who try to talk like a baby and is so annoying to hear. At least in the japanese dub, she sound like a actual child. Edit : Also, if Carlie is really act like a child, then why they didn't engage a actual child to made her voice?

@@MidoseitoAkage because child actors are a massive pain to work with when it comes to directing and scheduling, and considering this is a budget title they really didn't have time for all that.

@@TheCulab Pain or not, If a child can dub Ike from South Park, then why they're simply can't take only one for made a good voice for Carlie? Also, a child around of 10-13 years can be better with this role.

@@MidoseitoAkage Maybe they wanted english dub Charlotte to sound like an adult who acts like a child because she is an "adult" who acts like a child

Charlotte's actually 15. lol

Lance Baddical same

I liked Angela's VA, really gave her the sassiness of the original

It reminds me of the old Disney animated movies with a mixture of Japanese anime

Agreed. FF7R's battle system has many little 'rocks in shoe' problems that Trials doesn't have. One of the things that steer me away from a second FF7R playthrough is bosses interrupting and wasting your limit break and magic/summon when they go through a phase transition. Trials has been more consistently smooth

@@Melchiorblade7 Agreed, none of the Bosses in Trials of Mana had CUTSCENE POWER that FF7 remake suffered from.

Forrest Hecker-Johnson yes! 👏👏👏

I started on hard and yes is easy if you know what you are doing. Same thing goes with Ff7r its easy also even on hard if you know what you are doing.

I agree, i tend to overpower always in rpgs but somehow i felt that i wasnt even tryin that and yet it was still easy, i must say i really like the gameplay but i still remember the first time i faced dark mana beast and i felt the boss lasted like hours

This was pretty much what I was going to comment so i'll give a like.

What would they go from here?

Warms my soul to know I'm not the only person who actually likes Charlotte, arguably the most enjoyable personality of the six next to Riesz.

Agreed. There are some VAs that were obviously struggling with the script (the lack of direction certainly didn't help), but Charlotte's VA knocked it out of the park.

@@Coltonh65 there were some really bad ones like the fire spirit

I love Charlotte's VA. It's adorable

cant stand her babyish high pitched winey voice

So I was never into popular culture. What song is he parodying?

Everyone needs to play trails.

Trails is a visual novel with occasional jrpg mechanics. Ys would be way more interesting to have a video about.

@@backlogrob8358 oh no, heaven forbid a jrpg have storyand dialogue in it

Cyrus K Trails has even more talking than Golden Sun. It’s excessive and it’s usually not about important lore or details, mostly just anime overtalking in circles. And in the case of Cold Steel, it’s definitely all anime tropeyness and dopeyness, not quality. Yea yea opinion this opinion that but Cold Steel literally starts off with a girl falling on you and then her calling you a pervert, holding a grudge over you for most of the game afterwards. I rather have no story or dialogue than that trite shit.

It does have more than golden, sun, but it's well written and builds off of itself instead of contradict itself. You QQ about an anime trope that happens early in... the 6th game in the series? oh no, one trope after so long. it's instantly bad.. that's your best example? Even if you're right and it has flaws, kbash can express it much better than you, so you should encourage it regardless.

I got to the intro. Heard her voice. Restarted the game

the moment i herd charlotte voice i started over after a few hours, i will buy the game on the steam summer sail

Might explain why he's the best voice in the game!

Anxious Mac you can jump right into this one. The Mana series isn’t big on Narrative. Jumping into the middle of the series is like jumping into the middle of a Saturday morning cartoon series

When it comes to a subset of certain character fanbases, priorities…
