| Not sure but I might not watch this. |
 |
| Legend of Mana from Playstation 1??? damn what a Nostalgia, this made me want to play the game again... I love the Story. not expecting something spectacular from Graphinica, hopefully it's good enough. |
 |
| Bet Netflix's gonna slap Denuvo on this one as well lmao. |
 |
| It was announced via 30th anniversary YouTube live https://www.famitsu.com/news/202106/27225164.html |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| woooooww.. my fav game of ps1 all the time...i dunno how much i replay this game.. can i hope that the remake coming soon? |
| Oh wow what a pleasant surprise. I should play the remaster and actually beat the game this time lol. |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| .........another video game adaptation from Square Enix right after ANOTHER Square Enix video game adaptation ended, huh...? ....I really don't want to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but... *sigh* People tried to warn me with that last one and how video game adaptations generally end up failing in some way or another. I didn't listen and now I've been feeling kinda awful for the last couple of days... way worse than I did back when the Ace Attorney anime was still airing, because at least that show actually adapted most if not all of its source material and actually had a filler episode in between adapting the first and second games that I remember was actually great. That aside, I highly suggest some of you who are just as passionate about this game as I am for TWEWY and Ace Attorney to try to lower your expectations as much as possible, at least until some more information about this anime's staff and runtime comes out. My bet is that this is gonna just gonna be a rushed video game adaptation made just to advertise a possible upcoming entry for the Mana series. Haven't played this game, but it is definitely fairly popular. It's possible that a remake could be coming out soon just because of this announcement, actually. At least it's not a Secret of Mana adaptation, there's barely any "story" in that one imo haha |

| I wonder what's up with Square Enix now making shows of old games like with Final Fantasy 9 Legend of Mana was pretty good but lacked challenge for me but it was fun exploring, even still this isn't the game people talk about when they talk about the Mana series so I'm sure people would've wanted Secret of Mana or Trails of Mana to be adapted, but it's okay I feel like this adaptation will be about the world of the game and the fun characters rather than a big story arc |
| Wasn't a remake announced recently? Or am I mixing things up? Maybe this is to sell more copies of that remake? Unless I'm completely mixing games up. xD |

CataOrShane said: it was a remaster and it just came out. They did announce they are making a complete new console mainline entry at the same event so maybe they are just trying to get the name out there.Wasn't a remake announced recently? Or am I mixing things up? Maybe this is to sell more copies of that remake? Unless I'm completely mixing games up. xD Gio_Graphy said: Parasite Eve is WASTED on Square. They got time for anythinggggg else, except for that. What an absolutely bizarre thing to bring up when square is showing an open focus on reviving their dormant properties. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Gio_Graphy said: Is it REALLY though? I dont need to be a market researcher to know that for the last couple of years, horror games its where its been AT. Capcom has been making BANK (rightfully so, IMO the games are great) with Resident Evil. Meanwhile Square got time for Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, hell even a COMPLETELY NEW IP (Forspoken) but Parasite Eve is collecting dust. The same can be said for Konami and SH (but thats a whole other 20 dollars as they say). Maybe the Fatal Frame relaunch will make Square remember they have Parasite Eve but I doubt it at this point lol These are just my opinions, its not that serious at the end of the day lol Yes it is bizzare, cause Square is showing all indications that they very well could be using that IP in the near future alongside a billion other IP's, also don't know what universe your in where horror games are where its at when RE is borderline the only real one of note, a franchise that even in its worst state sold millions. Outside of that horror games arent all that hot. Past that it makes about as much sense to bring up as me going, well why don't they make a new nanashi no game, why PE over that one? |

Gio_Graphy said: Dude you just named a bunch of games that came out half a decade ago or more. Theres your answer as to how hot horror games are. Horror games arent that hot? Are we just forgetting Outlast, The Evil Within, Alien Isolation, Dead by Daylight, freaking UNTIL DAWN? Come on, buddy. And I wasnt saying they aint NEVER gonna do something with PE, just that they'd rather do anything BUT something related to PE. Like they'd rather do another damn Final Fantasy instead of it lol Im over this conversation now, we aint gonna see eye to eye and thats fine. Have a good night~ |

| What the heck, now I want to play the game again after decades. |
| I'm happy but worried at the same time. I hope it's at least something on the level of GranBlue Fantasy. |
 |
| Since I consider Secret of Mana to be one of the best video games ever made, I'll surely watch this. Even though I have not played the PS1 game myself. |
| I waited all of my life for this, I'm so excited lol I read the manga but was disappointed that it didn't show all of the game's characters, but I liked how the author added personality for the boy and the girl. I think that it's too much to show all the quests in the anime, but I'll be glad if I can see all of my favourite characters on the screen. |
