Living in your siblings shadow is tough, and ifSquare EnixsVisions of Manawere a person, itd likely agree.

But theManaseries has a less defined path forward.

it’s possible for you to sense that uncertainty inVisions of Mana(out Aug. 29) as well.

Visions of Mana

Square Enix

The series big stand-out moment came with 1993sSecret of Mana.

Its a very classic roleplaying structure, withManareferences as well, including elemental spirits and sacred beasts.

Its a big problem.

Exploration never really pulls itself out of that hole, either.

A great example is the Rune Knight, the games first unlockable class.

you’re free to get through most normal battles without much planning.

Thats understandable to an extent, given how long the series has been dormant.

The hesitation does little to helpVisions of Manaforge a strong and coherent identity for itself, though.
