How Square Enix SAVES Visions of Mana...

Square Enix can still salvage Visions of Mana and ensure the future of the franchise.

I didn’t care anybody say about the game, I myself bought the game and experience it and the game was fun overall

[Redbones]

The demo did not do this game any favors. I almost didn’t buy it because of it but I’m glad I did. It’s a very very good game. Go out and play it someday people.

[mikeymacaque]

This is exactly the kind of AA game that everybody says they want, but then they don’t buy it. I don’t think the demo did it any favors, it was kinda overwhelming with tutorials that weren’t necessary for like 45min of story progression. I’ve almost beaten the game and I love it, I hope it gets a second life on the new Switch.

I blame the critic reviews. The user views are at a 8.5, and that's exactly what it deserves. Actual Mana fans love this game. The music has been the only sore spot for me, it never reaches the heights of Secret of Mana.

It's such a shame the studio was shut down. This is my daughter's first Mana game and she loves it like I love SoM. It's terrible that she may never see another as good, or have to wait 30 years for a better Mana game.

Square Enix should hire the fired staff from Ouka Studio and have them work on a Switch or Switch 2 port of Visions of Mana. I am sure Nintendo fans will like this game.

[KrispysRC]

If this game came out for the switch I think we would be having a different conversation right now

[DavideLattuca]

The game is gorgeous. It had an horrible release window. Between two giants: Wukong and Astrobot.

[EchidnaKida]

I just finished 100%ing this game on Steam in about 70 hours of gameplay, and I had fun. I'm a long time Seiken Densetsu fan and yeah, I pre-ordered Visions, and it was a pleasant comfy experience. It makes me sad that the game and the series sell so poorly, but I can't change that.

[KhalidTheSequel]

One of the better Square Enix releases killed by a lack of marketing, a lack of development support, and a poor release window.
Killing Ouka studios damaged the games reputation, but I dont believe thats why it flopped.

Nine months ago, this game was first announced with the trailer gaining a total of 670k views. Three months ago, this game's release date trailer released garnering over 629k views on Square's youtube channel. It seemed highly anticipated. However the actual launch trailer two weeks ago just managed to scrape past 119k views (26K on Sony's Youtube Channel). Other games were more interesting at the 60 dollar price point. You know it, I know it, Blackmyth Wukong knows it, everybody knows it.

Its really sad what happened to this game specially, cause actually its the best in the series, and one of the good games we got this year.

[somaliagainstpanafricanism]

The studio closing is not square enix’s fault. We need this game to do well so we can have future mana games.

[Ravenna_Black]

I really need this game. i just needed it on Switch physical.

[marvin]

I'm sure it will come to Switch 2 in the future. It is truly such a fun game so far so I hope people give it a chance in the future

[leveldrow]

This was the best Mana game for me and I've played Secret, Legends and Trials. I think it's sad this game didn't do better. I REALLY do not want to see this game franchise vanish.

[Shadow-Joop-]

Square Enix says they're going cross platform and this game shows they need to do it faster because this game would have sold 100 times better if it came out on Switch

[TylerEdlin]

Literally don’t care what anyone says. This month I am playing this and astrobot and I couldn’t be more pleased.

[aquatrez]

This game is so good and is getting great word of mouth, so I'm hoping it has long legs!

[Kainth]

i mean i did my part. i bought two copies, one for me and one for my niece.

[lemures]

Too bad. Bought the game. I think it's awesome. It starts really slow and some of the dialog is not great. But once you play for 3 or 4 hrs the game really opens up and gets awesome. Even the characters get better dialog wise. I think it's the best Mana game out of the series

[TheIronTiger]

We need Sword of Mana and Heroes of Mana brought to modern consoles too.
