During production of the 3D remake of Secret of Mana, series producer Masaru Oyamada decided with the remake's producer Shinichi Tatsuki to bring the game overseas as a remake. Over the years, particularly following the 2017 release of the Collection of Mana compilation of the first three Mana titles in Japan, demand for a Western version increased.
When originally released, the Super Famicom version of Trials of Mana was not localized outside of Japan, where it was released as Seiken Densetsu 3. Once the main story is completed, a post-game storyline with its own class is unlocked, and after this is completed players can select New Game+ to carry over their character level, common items, and some collectables into a new campaign.
Within the environment, a recurring series character called Li’l Cactus is hidden, with finding them in each location granting rewards to the party. There are different classes of Item Seed which produce better quality items, and a "Planter Level" which impacts the frequency of Item Seed drops and the quality of items. Also found are Item Seeds, which can be planted in special pots in towns. ĭuring the game, the player finds various items, ranging from healing items to money and items that impact player or enemy statistics. Chain Abilities are passive abilities which can be used by any character once unlocked, while attack-based Class Abilities are automatically unlocked and applied upon changing class. Abilities are moves and passive buffs which can be unlocked through the Training system. It also earns Training Points, which are fed into specific attributes to unlock new skills. Fighting enemies is rewarded with experience points, which raise a character's health (HP) and magic (MP). The party fights using light and heavy melee attacks when within range, character-specific special skills unlocked through a distinct levelling system, tiered character class skills, and combined attacks between all three characters.
During exploration, the player can find items, treasure chests and hidden areas a common reward is lucre, the in-game currency. The chosen player characters navigate the overworld-split between town and country environments-and fight enemies in real-time combat. Upon meeting a selected playable character, the player has the option of either viewing an explanatory cutscene, or playing through that character's prologue. During exploration, the player can meet with other playable characters both before their recruitment and in various locations if they remain outside the party. The overall narrative and basic gameplay principles remain the same, but redesigned for a navigable 3D overworld. The game is a 3D remake of the 1995 Super Famicom title of the same name. Trials of Mana is an action role-playing game in which the player controls a selection of three out of six protagonists while each begins with their own narrative, they are drawn into a single quest to defeat the Benevodons and save the Mana Tree. While carrying over the basic gameplay and premise, the Trials of Mana remake (below) adds several elements unseen in the original (above) these include 3D graphics, camera control, and new gameplay mechanics. It sold beyond Square Enix's expectations, selling over one million copies worldwide by February 2021. Reception of the game on release was generally positive, with praise going to its redesigned combat and soundtrack, though many faulted its English dub and archaic elements. The remake was announced at E3 2019, with the localization requiring simultaneous translation into eight languages. The soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta was arranged by a large team, with Kikuta supervising. Originally a near-direct remake with plans for multiplayer as in the original, the team instead went for a 3D single-player experience which tweaked some aspects and added content while remaining faithful overall. Production of Trials of Mana was spurred on by Western demand, as the original game had not been localized. The remake was conceived in 2017, during production of a remake for Secret of Mana (1993). New to the gameplay and storyline is a post-game chapter with an unlockable class. In gameplay, the player controls three out of six characters, navigating field environments, fighting enemies in real-time combat, and making use of character classes. The story follows six possible protagonists in their respective quests, which lead them to obtain the Mana Sword and fight a world-ending threat. It is a 3D remake of the 1995 Super Famicom title of the same name, the third game in the Mana series. A mobile port released the following year. Trials of Mana is a 2020 action role-playing game developed by Xeen and published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
