Looks like Trials of Mana but with more buget.

So yeah, while not a big fan of the character design I'm definetly playing this. Man this summer sure is packed with games.

 

[Mister Wolf]

That's a day one for me. Hopefully if has HDR, and the HDR works correctly on PC.

DAY 1

 

[cormack12]

you're too fast dude

 

[Zheph]

Day one of course

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Did that little baby Julei turn into a ball of fruit-loops?

 

[drganon]

Nice.

[Pejo]

I'm legitimately blown away by this trailer. So vibrant and it's using the Trials of Mana art style, which I think is really good for this type of game.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm incredibly hyped for a S-E game again for the first time in like 5+ years. The male character designs are a little eehhhh, but everything else is top notch.

I LOVED my time with Trials of Mana remake, so I'm definitely in day one with this game.

Off topic: If they really are remaking FF9, I wish this is the visual style they'd go with. It would look great with the FF9 aesthetic.

 

[Cornbread78]

Only question is digital or physical?

Should I complete the collection?

Here's the box art

I am loving this, those colours man, wow. Character design is a bit eh, but it is what it is. Combat looks like a lot of fun. Real-time, which is always my shit.

That being said, miss me so fucking much with those dubs bro. I will go for the original voices 100%.

One would guess that a queen could afford a pair of pants.

Same. Hopefully someone will make a de-translation mod soon after release like they did for Trials, closer to the Japanese names.

 

[Metnut]

Day one for me. It looks great. Unfortunately, I think it’s going to bomb sales wise.

 

[Mr Hyde]

August 29th?

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yeah day 1 for me too. Trials of Mana was great. So soon too.

 

[Stafford]

Same. Hopefully someone will make a de-translation mod soon after release like they did for Trials, closer to the Japanese names.

I'm not really sure what that means? If you just select Japanese voices on console you should be good to go?

That's assuming it offers the option because if not I'm not gonna bother with the game. I can't stand these English dubs.

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks good, similar to the other times they showed it but now showing some cinematic clips that are nice. Definitely a very colorful game, which is nice.

Sure, you can use the Japanese voices, but the text will still use the localized names, which can make things awkward when you do understand some Japanese, as the names will be different (for example the characters will call the light spirit "Wisp", but the text will call him "Lumina", same for some locations etc). There's a mod that changes the localized text to make names closer to what is being said when using the Japanese voices.

Restoration of Mana is a mod whose purpose is to make the game much more closer to the original Japanese Voice Over, by restoring some of the original names of Towns, Spells, Techniques among other th

Can't help but feel a bit mixed with the gameplay bits that are shown. Aerial combat doesn't look very engaging, should have stayed on the ground. I fear that this might lead to needlessly long encounters repeating the same two combos constantly. Repeating a single or couple ground attacks would have been a better solution in my opinion. Keep it simpler. But maybe this is still a possibility, can't tell for sure.

Aaaah got it, I understand now. Thanks.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

5 playable characters + class system based on which elementals you have equipped. This sounds really fucking cool. Day 1 for me. This is my most anticipated game of the year.

Finally. Took them a long time to announce this date.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I just moved this preorder over to Trails through Daybreak. I guess I will have to trade in another game towards this after all.

I played the Trials of Mana demo and loved it. Bought the game immediately… and it’s still in shrink wrap.

Working through Blue Dragon (360) then will play Trails, then Trials… let’s see if I can squeeze it all in.

$200. Mini-OST.

[EDIT] Nevermind. That's weird, it has a full 5 disc OST AND a mini-OST. Okay, that's actually pretty good honestly.

 

[Exentryk]

Gameplay actually looks alright and this trailer was pretty good. I'd probably have gotten it day 1 if it weren't for Wukong releasing in Aug. Still, I'll come back for this.

 

[ssringo]

I hate Val's hair. Reminds me of the androgynous combover style. Just missing the shaved side. Blech.

Still the game looks good. Will probably get lost between the big name/budget releases its sandwiched between but I'm not interested in them so it's a perfect date for me.

I dont know how to juggle between all of this while also wanting other things. This gaming year is awesome. Ys X will also get a release date this year.

 

[The_hunter]

Combat looks really really good.

 

[Jedge]

Day 1

 

[KàIRóS]

Holy shit I wasn't expecting a Class system, the one in Trials of Mana was super good, what is this hidden gem Square is prepping here man, Day 1 for sure.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Really want it for Switch 2 or whatever it’s called but if I must I’ll go for PS5.

I find it interesting that it still mentions PS4 in the trailer when most stores don’t even offer it including their own. Digital only?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Was that the Cactus and Niccolo from Legend of Mana?

This game is one of the few I am anticipating. They can keep all this AAA drivel. I want to play this one.

 

[Danjin44]

Already pre-ordered......this year has been so fucking good for JRPG fan like me.

 

[starfire1978]

This looks like the closest to secret of mana I'll get before death. Fingers crossed.

PS4!? Stop supporting that god damn console! 5 and X and PC only! Edit - The 4 won't die and Series S was a mistake.

They won’t die because people were begging for back compat before this generation released. Well, they got it, but didn’t think it through,

 

[Gaiff]

PS4!? Stop supporting that god damn console! 5 and X and PC only! Edit - The 4 won't die and Series S was a mistake.

There’s no reason not to support it. The game doesn’t commend the budget or scale to be a next-gen exclusive.
