So, I hate to be a downer, but this is one of those experiences that got worse as I played it. I think part of that had to do with my nostalgia for it. It's obviously hard to something to be as strong as one's memory of it. However, I remember this being one of my favorite games of all time. It still has some merits. The visuals and music are amazing and unique. I just can't reconcile several issues: a slow paced charging attack system or menu based magic system slowing gameplay, several enemies that can swarm you while avoiding certain damages altogether, and bosses being "just do their weakness."

Again, for its faults, I think the remake does my particular playstyle (non-charge normal attacking) somewhat viable. I just can't excuse its overall lack of polish and weird music choices. So, either version of Secret of Mana is lacking, which leads to disappointment.

Ah well. Can't win every playthrough I suppose. At least it was short, and maybe viewers enjoy it more than I did. Dino Crisis with Leigh starts tomorrow.
