[Rezbit]

Reading the thread title I thought it was going to get the proper current-gen style remake. Not whatever this is :\

 

[Deft Beck]

Art style is generic as hell. I'm really getting tired of games that look like this.

How else should it look? It's a classically anime styled fantasy game from the 90s.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Vita lives!

 

[Seijuro]

The dream came true with the leak, then was shattered with the reveal. This looks like shit.

 

[Vandole]

Wow, I never would have believed it if you told me that one day this game would be remade and I wouldn't care.

 

[Loudninja]

Man I am in rpg heaven right now love it.

 

[entremet]

Looks horrible.

 

[orioto]

What about the music by the way ? Any chance of full orchestration ?

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I read on Kotaku that there's only online multiplayer and I was PISSED. Looks like there actually is local multiplayer for the Steam version. Def buying this.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Can someone explain how the chibi-like characters in this remake look better and more authentic to the Super Nintendo/PS1 style than the flat, non-expressional chibi characters from Final Fantasy 15 pocket edition? Did someone miss a memo at the company or did an artist go missing?

 

[Cornbread78]

The Vita part isn't a joke, right?

 

[swarley64]

Meh. I think I'd rather play the original

 

[Host Samurai]

Why is this not cel shaded?

 

[ErasureAcer]

Amazing.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

lol, that art style is terrible. Still buying it though.

 

[MAtgS]

I've heard that the SNES game was originally intended for the SNES PlayStation add-on and a lot of content was cut when the game was refitted into a cartridge. It true then I hope this remake is something of a director's cut.

 

[beelzebozo]

haha, i thought they were going to redo the style of the first game and finish the parts of the game which never got finished, or were cut. this just looks so heinous. what is wrong with them? christ almighty.

never have i so quickly experienced feelings of incredible hype dropping to incredible despair.

 

[fester]

Replaying the snes version with my son right now and having a blast. A shame about the art of this remake, it looks like dog shit.

 

[Maxim726X]

Should have just ported the Android version and fixed the controls

Somehow, they managed to make a SNES game look worse.

 

[febLey]

This looks bad. Thank god I can play this gem on the SNES Classic Mini.

Somehow, the managed to make a SNES game look worse.

^ this

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

This looks like a mobile game they hastily put together for the PS4.

 

[wbEMX]

What about the music by the way ? Any chance of full orchestration ?

I most certainly hope so. The OST is sooooo good.

Yeah, the art style looks crappy, but I'll look out for this. I never played the SNES version.

 

[Rodolink]

I better play the original again

So, everyone here is finally admitting that they have never liked Adventure of Mana's artstyle?

It may look like it but there's more depth now compared to AoM:

Adventures of Mana:

Secret of Mana:

No idea what was cut but there's one point in the game where suddenly you go off to the empire with no explanation, there has to be something missing there

 

[THEaaron]

How else should it look? It's a classically anime styled fantasy game from the 90s.

Well it could look different? I also think it looks pretty bland and generic. The SNES version is more pleasing to the eye for me.

That would be teh only reason I'd get this

 

[Augemitbutter]

this will be amazing. the art is fine once you start playing. worked well for the first game.

thank you for bringing this, i'm happy. it's always vita.

 

[Maxim726X]

So, everyone here is finally admitting that they have never liked Adventure of Mana's artstyle?

Finally?

It prevented me from playing it.

 

[100%TrophyMaster]

YEEEEEESSSS! Day 1. Art style doesn't bother me--just excited to play through this again. One of the great 90's RPG's that shaped my childhood

 

[sublimit]

I never had a chance to play the original so i'm very interested in this.Not too sure about the art style (and i'm someone who usually loves chibi art-style.)

I just hope it will include the Japanese audio because i can already tell that i will hate the American voice acting.

 

[ULTROS!]

Finally?

It prevented me from playing it.

I hope you didn't feel angry when Neverland remade Lufia 2 for the NDS :]

 

[SillyEskimo]

It looks like hot garbage. Who asked for this?

It really drives home the fact that jrpgs lost me just about the time when the protagonists were rendered in 3D. The sprites were always great.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Finally?

It prevented me from playing it.

To me the game looked like a graphically clean version of PS1-era 3d games but to each his/her own I guess.

 

[entremet]

So, everyone here is finally admitting that they have never liked Adventure of Mana's artstyle?

Never did. However, Adventure is harder to play legally. But Secret of Mana is on the Wii VC and now on the SNES mini, so a remake needs to have something more.

 

[beelzebozo]

So, everyone here is finally admitting that they have never liked Adventure of Mana's artstyle?

yes, i have finally come to terms with this heinous game which i can barely stand looking at

 

[Durante]

PS4/Steam version supports offline multiplay

That's extremely important to me. Steam version bought.

 

[Maxim726X]

I hope you didn't feel angry when Neverland remade Lufia 2 for the NDS :]

... Why. Why must you reopen old wounds?

Spoiler

OST was incredible, so it at least gave us that.

 

[jett]

Too bad it was made for the Vita in mind. Looks poor.

 

[Jakten]

This looks amazing but I'd rather they translate the collection so we have an official release of Seiken Densetsu 3. Compared to others I think this art style looks fantastic, I love low poly 3D stuff though.

 

[Dantrist]

Looks...rough.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Yeah, I'm guessing this means the Seiken Densetsu collection isn't coming West. -_-

 

[Miniature Kaiju]

The only thing that bothers me graphics-wise is that they could've (and should've) done much more with the lighting.

 

[Shizuka]

Day one for the Vita.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Don't think it looks bad at all.
Haven't played the original in over 20 years, so I'm ready. Day 1!

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Huh, I did not expect this or for there to be a English trailer already. Not sure which system I want to get it on.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Oh hell yes. Give a nice limited edition, Square Enix!

I still firmly remember Christmas of 1993 when I received SoM for SNES.

 

[Dy_Cy]

I'm surprised at the negativity in here. It looks exactly as it should.

 

[Rad Shadow]

Funny that it's not on a nintendo console. Lol

 

[Eric the Red]

SquareEnix games have always been anime.

Well yeah. SE is a Japanese company.
Did you not see any of the DQ/KH/FF spinoff games lately?
All anime style.

I'm sorry, I mean emphasis on the VERY. You know how like you can even be watching an anime and go wow this girl is so anime. There's anime, and then there's anime. I don't know how I can be any clearer. I'm good at words.
