Nice, I know you were big on those games. I was only even kinda into the origina Mana game when we got it in the States on Super NES. But its kinda redundant to have both a beginner AND Easy mode. It shoudl only ever be Easy, Normal , Hard, and Nightmare ( or Hell beyond that/ Impossible lol).

@GodleyX 4 жыл бұрын

@@screwthenet unfortunately the difficulty settings are worthless. At least for the demo, every difficulty setting is the same, the combat design is flawed in a way where you can never get hurt. Meanwhile the original you couldn't dodge anything. In the remake, you can dodge every enemy skill. It went from one extreme, to the opposite extreme. And this makes the remake far too easy.... Difficulty is pointless if every attack is shown with red circles you can just walk out of.

@JazGalaxy 4 жыл бұрын

Gharon for me, it was really telling how ALL of Secret Of Mana’s charm is in the details. The “remake” kept all of the structure but somehow lost all of the soul along the way. And in looking at side by side screens, it’s easy to tell that it’s the small pixel-details like paint for king off of signs and houses that make the world feel charming, you wouldn’t think that would matter, but it makes all the difference in the world.

I agree, everything about this is better than the SoM remake. I think the most telling for me was the way the soundtrack was handled here was leagues better than they way it was handled in SoM remake.

Been playing SD3 since I discovered emulation as a teenager and from what I've seen so far in the demo, they stayed faithful to the original. From map layouts, to npc dialogue, the sound effects and even tiny little details like the dancing shop owners. I'm really happy that they didn't screw up with remastering the soundtrack like they did with SoM. It sounds amazing, I'm loving this remake. I can't wait for the full release!

The game is really good based on the demo. I feel it's a one-to-one transition from 2D to 3D, as Johnny points out. It doesn't try to hard and delivers perfectly. They could remake Chrono Trigger like this. Sort of budget but true to the source material.

Oh God yes! I’d love a Chrono Trigger Remake in this style! It doesn’t need a AAA remake like FFVII or it’ll take 6 years to make (or more if they chop it into parts like in FFVIIR). I also don’t think a FFVII like Remake for CT will ever be in the cards because that game’s popularity (or lack of thereof). Sure CT is popular amongst a niche of gamers but it never reached even a fraction of the mainstream appeal and following that FF in general (or FF7) reaches.

@TroubadorPoet problem is radical dreamers was the actual "sequel" to chrono trigger, and it's actually a prequel to chrono chross, problem is radical dreamers was a super different style of game in comparison to CT... in radical dreamers magus is even present, looking for schala but he has amnesia, and he is actually not sure what he is looking for. In chrono chross this same char is present( I think his name was guile, a magician that wears a mask, confirmed by the developers that he was supposed to be magus, cause he had amnesia and was looking for something, he was not sure of), but for sooome stupid reason, the developers decided he was not going to be magus anymore.... that alone would had connected CT and CC, so much smoothly , not so indirect and barely at the end, like CC did...

It's almost weird how this one turned out. In most remakes, it feels like a whole new world but with the original game's coat of paint. Here, it's like they literally took the original game, and dropped the camera down behind the character and gave everything a spitshine. The houses LOOK like the sd3 houses. The trees look the same, the enemies all look the same. This turned out so much better than the preview videos made it seem. It's even more fun when you don't just bumrush enemies and heal through it. Getting the 10% bonus exp modifier for not taking any damage is really rewarding. Unfortunately though, tuning your senses like this makes the game way too easy even on hard. It feels strange to me that fullmetal hugger can go down without the player taking a single point of damage.

I played this game when it was shared with me nearly 20 years ago when I was still a kid. It was awesome then, but times have changed and so have I. I think they've done a wonderful job translating the aesthetics of the art and characters into a new game, but I disagree in stringently keeping game play elements the same. It's in this that we should see innovation, or it's less a reason to play a "new" game instead of watching a simple and fun movie or playing the old one. In taking these environments to 3D and greater scale with more movement options, they inherently make the game easier when the original wasn't difficult if you had played similar games before. People have only seen early stages of the game, but it concerns me. I don't need the game to challenge me to enjoy it, but I still want a test that's dynamic with its space and options. There's room to be engaging when keeping with its themes. I don't want my only struggle to be patience. That will have been a failure. People should expect greater things from games now. Ideas like punishing a player for using their strong attacks (or playing Angela) with counters that incentivize simpler game play shouldn't fly now. Time will tell. No pre-order from me. There's also two obvious points of game play criticisms that I feel they've really missed opportunities with. There doesn't seem to be any good QoL menu options for quick casting frequent skills without pausing. This could have gone a long way to aiding one of the best things this game had going for it - being a multiplayer RPG - which seems to be absent.

I wouldn't be to sure. I recently watched an interview with the development team and they played with a boss halfway through the game(Lvl 45) it looked even more pathetic than the crab from the demo. Don't get me wrong though, the game looks fun but it definitely doesn't look hard

Took me 5 hours to play the demo. THat's me exploring, getting all treasure & Level 7. I played as Riesz, Hawkeye & Kevin. I'm gonna go back & play as the other 3 since their stories will be completely different. So remember if the full game is 30 hours It'll end up being 60 hours since you'll want to play at least 2 playthroughs.

Charlotte's dub is the cringiest I've heard in my life so thank GOD Japanese voices are enablable unlike the KH series... not just Charlotte's voice but the written text is a trainwreck! They should just spell all words like normal despite any "accent" attempts on a voice actor's part so players won't get a headache trying to read trashy writing to understand already horrendous speech T_T

@HyperGirl81 4 жыл бұрын

Charlotte's voice sounds like a New York accent in some dialog and to be honest I heard worse like Nico's voice from Arc Rise Fantasia. His voice sounds whiny and high pitched like teenager whose voice is changing due to puberty. So compared to that I don't mind Charlotte's voice I think that is similar to Molly's voice from the US Dic version of Sailor Moon.

so does the story change depending on who you pick for your main character at the beginning of the game? if so does that mean you can do multiple plays and it be different?

@starknightlumina8680 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, you should play the game multiple times to see everything. There are basically 3 story paths. The main villain, certain plot points, and final dungeon of the game all change based on which character is your main. But two characters have the same villain. Angela and Duran share a plotline, Charlotte and Kevin share another, and Riesz and Hawkeye another. Putting two characters together in a party who share the same main villain added more dialog in the original game.

@trueblueclue 4 жыл бұрын

The other thing that changes is your style of playing. Everybody has a class so you're essentially building a team. When you hit certain levels you get job upgrades which can get you different moves and change how your team works. So you can play the same story but the gameplay feels different. Example: Duran can go light side or dark at level 15 or 18. With light he starts learning healing spells and can equip a shield. With dark he becomes more offensive and can eventually learn "saber" skills in later classes. These give your basic attacks elemental properties. Kevin himself changes into different kinds of werewolves depending on his class change.

I die enjoy the Secret of Mana Remake, granted it has oh so many flaws, but the nostalgia was strong. I am so happy that Trials of Mana at least got the love they should have shown to Secret of Mana in the first place, i love those two games to bits. Well hopes up that it does well enough for Square to think about giving the same treatment to Chrono Trigger.

I think the main reason was the more modern setting at the time, and I just wanted to be from a medieval setting all the time. I mean yeah you kinda weren't in a modern setting but you were modern in a different setting, it was just not my cup of tea and I could never get myself to want to play it.
