    There are 3 "different story line/bunch of antagonists and final boss". For having the most story element I recommand to play like this (Angela with Duran), (Charlotte with Kevin), (Riesz with Hawkeye's). The third character that you choose is the less important.

      Reisz is me favorite so far so I wanted to main her, but I also want Angela for get spells, and her story seems pretty interesting as well. Charlotte annoys me, and Kevin and his story seem pretty whatever, so I was gonna go with Duran and his light path for healing and support. But it seems like I will miss out on some story if I do that. Tough choice…

    Important note 2: Players can choose either English or Japanese voice overs. Again, something that should have been mentioned in this review. Also, I love all the sound tracks. Its something I’ve enjoyed and has stayed with me all these years ever since I played the SFC version back in the days. So, I don’t understand why the review said that the music isn’t something people will sought out after playing.

      @@major_s9 Not really. If certain anime fans had their way; we'd still be living in the trapped and limited 'world' of isometric 2D or side-scrolling gaming.
      Gaming should have evolved in full 3D.
      As should it's main elements such as combat, physics, general gameplay etc.
      You see how this works?
      Certain things are simply required if you want to progress in Quality factor of life.
      You (subjectively) *can choose to ignore them* - this is true.
      But to say ''there is no should'' is a false paradigm - because certain people *have* made gaming evolve into this mode of 3D / combat. And that's why you're seeing it right here

    i completed all 6 heroes storyline back in the original series but that's because you couldn't respec your build. you are stuck with one of the 4 roles. in 2020, they gave you a 4th class and allow you to change class path so replay value is less. new age gamers don't like to replay often. i enjoy this game a lot but this game got too easy after you got several abilities. even on Hard mode, things just die under 20s. that's my only problem. they really should have an Expert mode with much harder enemy AI.

      It's strange because seeing the originals I feel the developers were stuck between keeping fully faithful and sacrificing the graphics to not look like the ''Toy-like photo realistic texture-mapped'' models of say, DQ.
      So, a bit of a mix with the graphics but I love the laid back and charming style.
      Some music themes are really nice, I dunno I'm certainly no hardcore Mana fans but I did pick up the original to give it a go and enjoyed it.
      So seeing all this 25 years on is pretty amazing for me - I get a real feel of the original yet it feels like this was so how it was all meant to be.
      I guess this version just clicked with me =)

Also, this game aways has at most 3 playable characters at any time. If would play with strangers, theres not much they can do to ruin your experience. Im not very good at multiplayer shooters, or any multiplayer competitive game for that matter, i dont play much of them, which explains it.
      Now that you mention it. Could be cool to meet some new mana fans. But of course im very happy with what we got, the game still awesome as single player and *_i recon that most people played the snes one and will play this single player only anyways,_* my experiences with friends are particular to me and most dont share it.

    The person who wrote this review clearly didn't play beyond the surface level. I won't get into too much specifics, but both Duran and Angela have not only a tied story, but the entire motif of their story is similar as well. Their story follows the motif of "familial expectations and legacy". While it is about saving the world, it returns to more personal roots toward the end of the game. It's almost as if the game was written this way on purpose to have subtlety to its storytelling.

If he wants to play something like smash bros with others he just uses his wife's. He says the lite is much more comfortable to hold. If playing on the TV isnt a concern the lite definitely has it's own unique pros plus a lower price.

      @@projectdaaltaran guys, do you have tiny hands or something? Even the big switch is too small for me. I had to buy the split pad pro before my joy cons went to oblivion. Thats the perfect size for me. I guess my hand is not average? Like i said, it depends, i play everything in dock, like everything. I even have 2 docks, so yeah. I just don't play in docked mode the games that don't benefit. Like Animal Crossing or Octopath traveler.
      Also, big note, if you have a good tv, not an insanely expensive one, just one with a really new processor it does wonders with the chip, the frames and the anti aliasing. Like really. I got the entry model, the q60r for the quantum dot lineup and the game mode is insane. It brings the switch up a lot.

      Also, switch lite doesn't have versatility. Like i said, my switch has the split pad pro from hori and its insanely comfortable, i could never go back to normal joy cons. They are too small.
      Also, if any joystick breaks on the lite you can't change it or anything, you have to fix the main console.
      Finally, and like i said, i see no point in not taking advantage of your big beefy tvs. When you get the skull&co dock and have a portable dock, or even when you shrink down a normal one, you can take it with you everywhere and just plug the switch. For me its perfect

    I just started it and I like the design, the battle system, etc. What I think is a bit poor is the emotional aspect. Characters are just not credible at showing emotions. For example, Duran's arc starts with the Crimson Wizard killing many guards in his castle, but you just don't feel his sadness or his anger. Same when his childhood is narrated, you don't feel the sadness when the king comes back to tell Duran's mother her husband disappeared. Same when Angela learns her mother wants to use her as a sacrifice, it's not dramatic.

    Honestly, the game demo was great, but, if you have a pc, its just gonna look better. I prefer that. Switch version is still great tho, for portability. But the character models are significantly better on any other system. If you have either pc, ps4 pro or xbox one x pick the game on one of those.

    The multi-thread story actually disappointed in the demo at least, very shallow. And the SP progression seemed simple enough, but the more in-depth (e.g. chain attack) systems were left a mystery and given no tutorial. Running animations felt stiff or slow at times (different from looking stiff or slow, they looked like the opposite actually, thus the criticism). The lack of different special moves or spells was weird, but I imagine it becomes satisfying to unlock more moves as you go. High points for me were the seamlessness of exploration and combat and the outstanding music. Overall, not gonna buy this one, but I see potential and I hope I can get into the Mana series in some other way in the future.
