Legend of Mana (1999)

by Square Product Development Division 2, Square
Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Open world, Action, Fantasy, Sandbox
Game modes:Single player, Co-operative, Multiplayer
Story:While incorporating action role-playing game elements from the three games which preceded it, Legend of Mana has its own distinct style of gameplay. Most notably, it gives the player the ability to shape the game's world of Fa'Diel according to his or her desires, a system which was incorporated through the use of "artifacts," which are gained as the player progresses through the game. The player uses the artifacts to create different towns, dungeons, etc., called "Lands", to venture to and explore. This creates a non-linear gameplay, since the game is driven by a series of what would be considered side-quests in other games. Legend of Mana features three different plots which can occur simultaneously, and which do not necessarily need to be completed for the player to finish the game. Legend of Mana was a financial success in Japan. While the game garnered considerable praise for its graphics and presentation, many critics and fans were turned off by the game's lack of a main storyline.Show more

Another diamond created by squaresoft, one of the few RPG's that caught my interest and even with the language barrier i could really enjoy this game with nice animations, fun pet/golem builds, equip crafting/enhancing and nice boss fights with killer BGM.

such a great game! having a co op game in a weird way for a ps1 was fantastic! hands down i beaten the game so long time ago and still remember how everything entwine with each other how the character got to know one another each dungeon/town you leave on the map of your choosing of location was interesting. no doubt i would preserve this game if anything. i love how you can level up any weapons as long you have them equipped and start beating on monsters to level up the weapons and the character lol. every weapon was unique and everytime you level up a weapon that you have equipped gives you uniques skills that you can equip and skill slot them to the style of play you want. hands down a must try classic game. the nintendo ds version of mana games is gonna be different but with the same world and concept. fighting the same monster types in the mana series never gonna change i mean i haven't played any of the new ones after the ps2 mana game came out lol.
Those games also need your vote!
