Secret of Mana Remake PS4 | The Completionist | New Game Plus

Secret of Mana may not be the most known title from Square Enix, to me it is one of the best game released on the SNES. It had enough of a following to get a 3D remake for the PS4, but with these remakes they tend to change or add things. So let's see how the PS4 remake holds up in my Secret of Mana review.

Take on the role of a the unlikely hero Randi as he comes across a magic sword and is tasked with befriending the eight elementals to fight off the evil empire. Secret of Mana is a classic JRPG, and I might be a bit biased because I loved the pixel version and don't exactly understand why they made a 3D remake instead of a HD pixel release. The characters got makeovers in the Secret of Mana PS4 remake, but they are still the same quirky and memorable characters. I've got problems with small details in the game, but they start to add up to become an issue. See how the two games compare in my Secret of Mana review!

Let me know what you thought about my Secret of Mana review! Which do you prefer: 2D or 3D Mana?

Also let me know what other games I should re-complete for New Game Plus!

I pretty much came to the same conclusion as Jirard...It's good, but its not great and a remake of a game of this caliber should be great.

[NintendoCapriSun]

Still kind of on the fence about the remake myself. It's kind of like I don't love it OR hate it. And in some ways that's almost worse than hating it.

[MrGRmask]

Didn't watch the episode yet but I hope Jirard will be annoyed by Neeko again.
Edit: 21:29 OH YES THANK YOU!! I NEEDED THAT LAUGH XD

Loved the first 3 person play through references throughout, even the flash of the good old Elbow pad!

The return of Neeko the price gouging cat

[KumaSan]

You know this looks more like a fanmade remake when the minimap LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A RPGMAKER MAP.

What game, that you purchased, disappointed you the most?

[TheRasticuss]

The summer of 1994 was the best summer. Spent all 3 months glued to this on the SNES. Best summer ever.

I guess it's time to rewatch the "First Ever Three-Player Elbowpad Any Percent Completion Run™" of Secret of Mana again.

Freaking hilarious run that deserves more attention.

The only things I can agree with here are the crashes and the load zones. Everything else, I’m kinda on board for. The remade music, for the most part, is on point. I picked up on the menu system instantly, and everything was pretty enjoyable. It didn’t erase the game I love, just gave me something else to enjoy.

Update: the ring system now shows the characters faces so you always know which character you are on.

[xebatansis]

I was so happy when I first heard about the remake, but seeing the actual result is devastating: It has no soul; No effort. They just took the mobile version and slapped a PS4 label on it. And don' t get me started on the butchered OST.

In defense of "un-DEEN" that's how I always pronounced it.
I never considered the Long "I" until I met Undyne in Undertale.

The nostalgia glasses are strong with this one

[muticere]

"In the US we know him as "Flame-y" whut? I always said "Flam-me"...

[ChiefXuligan]

3:54 RIP only 3 player run of Secret of Mana to be completed. :’(

[Tdrummer]

Played the original with my older brother when we were around 11/12. Some of the most cherished memories of my life. The soundtrack single-handedly formed my love for music

[BamadeusVODs]

Anybody hear the rumor that Jirard is a sweet, lovely dude?
