The title screen doesn’t even mention the word “remaster” anywhere on it. Instead, it’s a fairly direct port that polishes it for the latest gaming generation. Square Enix wisely chose to do little in the way of altering Legend of Mana from its framework. With the 2021 release of the remastered Legend of Mana, we now see the game in a new light, ready for a new audience who could appreciate the forward-thinking elements of the title. But its eye-catching presentation, stellar soundtrack, and heaps of charm from the whimsical cast did a lot to smooth over the rougher edges for some players. It arguably tried too much, making it quite ahead of its time with its myriad gameplay systems, and was a massive departure for the series, especially for Western audiences. With that leap, it attempted to push boundaries as Seiken Densetsu 3 did on the Super Famicom. Initially released for the Sony PlayStation in 1999, it heralded the leap of the Mana series onto new technology. Legend of Mana is one of those stand-out games that scores all across the board.
