I'm almost 50 years old and have been gaming regularly since 1980. I follow only a couple channel on youtube and this is one of them. JRPG have long been my favorite genre and I'm so glad you cover so many of them. I really like the excellent footage and analysis while remaining pretty much spoiler free in your videos while highlighting gameplay. This channel should be so much more popular than it is. Thank you for what you do from this old gamer.

"One of Square's best combat systems ever conceived" is high praise.
I was not expecting to hear that a Mana game is 60-70 hours. I like that.

An actual review where the reviewer finished the game and fleshed out the mechanics

[calvinmatthews]

A postgame with a new chapter, boss rematches, & a superboss? SOLD!

[KrsJin]

This touched on everything I was most curious about. Appreciate the detail without spoiling things!

[Evanz]

I’m upset by the lack of postgame secrets in RPGs these days. So glad to hear that won’t be an issue here!

[nastysoda]

This is the first place I go to for game reviews. You guys earned my respect and I trust your opinion. Totally buying this game.

[XenoCrossx]

I have a lot of hope for this game, especially after trials. The art style and music are gorgeous.

[tylercosgrove]

I have a feeling fans are going to like this game far more than some critics do.

[pockystyx]

there was glimpses of something deeper in the demo when I played. Excited to hear about the depth and customization.

New Mana was already interesting for me; but new Mana with a job class system had me sold XD

Great review. I’ve seen so many reviews writing off this game basing it on the initial hours.
I just got the last playable character and this is a game that just continues to grow.
The narrative has some nice twists and turns so far, the characters are surprisingly endearing, and the combat continues to expand.
It’s just a fun game. Not going to be game of the year or move the needle, but just a fun game to get lost in.
It’s refreshing.

The demo was kind of boring and confusing, same thing happened with the demo of Granblue Fantasy Re:Link, but once you play the full games from the beginning you realize that they are fun and beautiful. Cheers and thanks for the great review

[BlueUltima]

as soon as i saw reviews were out, came straight here to see how NP rated it.... GLAD TO SEE ITS LOVED!

[cloverraven]

The way you talk about this game makes me happy

[AM-ukjv]

I’ve been wanting to play a simpler JRPG recently. I beat ToM 3 times already and this will scratch that itch.

[Senumunu]

Finally a game that has some color contrasts.
I'm so sick of AAAs desaturated goo look.

[Dilandau]

The art style and environments are 15/10 stunning. I love them!

[mzxa]

Probably will wait for discount after a few years for this one. I still haven't touched my trials of mana remake yet lol

[TravaillesDuChanson]

If only Secret of Mana looked this good. Trials of Mana was a solid game, but this takes it to the next couple levels. The Legend of Mana Series cartoon they had was beautiful. Legend of Mana like this would have been amazing. However, I do lament the Echoes of Mana Gacha, it was a beautiful game with a beautiful opening, I do hope they salvage that Gacha into a permanent playable game at some point.
I would really love to see them remake Secret of Evermore, but remake it to where the main character gets more playable party members and may expand the story itself a bit with like this game, some post content as well.
