18 — Trials of Mana | Anticlimax & Review
1ie. How to play it safe and not ruin the possibility of a sequel to your game.
From a writer's standpoint, this game falls short on a number of fronts. The plot is riddled with poor decision making on every single character's parts and it makes them come across as dumb and unlikeable. The dialogue is cliche and hokey, clearly a product of an early 90s writer and iffy translation, but it could have been updated into something passionate and energetic which would give the voice actors something to work with. And, to cap it all off, the villain of the piece isn't really defeated because they will "always return" blah blah which is a great way to ensure that your franchise keeps on going but removes all feeling of accomplishment for the player.
Oh, and the combat AI.... well... I talk about THAT in the review over the credits. Leave your thoughts down below. Am I being too harsh?

From the game's Steam Page:
"Trials of Mana is the 3D remake of the hit classic RPG released in 1995 as Seiken Densetsu 3.
This daring tale of overcoming the tests of fate has been given new life! Experience the beloved adventure fully modernized with graphic improvements, character voiceover support, a remastered soundtrack and a new episode which you can experience after the ending, in addition to an ability system and a new class that reconstructs the character levelling system plus more active battles!
This overlapping story of interwoven destinies changes depending on who you choose as your main character and companions! Will these young adventurers be able to use the power of mana to save the world from the brink of destruction?
When the world was shrouded in darkness, the Goddess of Mana drew forth the Sword of Mana to smite the eight Benevodons, monsters of destruction. She sealed the horrors inside the eight Mana Stones, bringing the realm back from the brink. Weakened from rebuilding the world, the Goddess changed herself into a tree and fell into a deep sleep for many years. However, the forces of evil soon sought to free the Benevodons to gain control of the world. They started a terrible war to further their plot and destabilize the kingdoms. Peace was at an end. Mana itself began to disappear from the world and the Mana Tree started to wither..."
