One of the members in the forum got contact with Hiroki Kikuta, the composer of Secret of Mana music. Kikuta-san said that he is hoping a remake of any of the older games in the series. If this mail conversation is true or not it can be questionable. I hope its not the latter one

Hi Nick

I am very glad to have a fan mail from you. St. Louis. It is a Jazz town,
isn’t it !
I can not tell you any good news about remaking Seiken Densetsu series, but
I hope it too.
Play a music and have a good time!

Hiroki Kikuta

Thanks Nick

Nick just pointed out a rumour/announcement of Chrono Trigger being re-released for the Nintendo DS, and it looks like it may well be true! They have a Countdown Site up.

While this is not Mana news, at least it shows some hope of old loved games being given a new life (that AREN’T Final Fantasy… not saying that they shouldn’t do FF, but just share the love a bit…).

Thanks again to Nick for bringing this to our attention!

This is one of my personal favorite Seiken Densetsu remixes. Remixing the Secret of Mana track “Eight Ringing Bells” seems to be pretty popular, lots of remixes are out there for this track. This remix is really epic sounding, and man do I love strings.

If you like this track or you want to find more just head over to the Remixes page and you can find this track and others from various Seiken Densetsu games for your downloading pleasure. If you’re feeling adventurous and looking for remixes from other games be sure to check out OverClocked Remix for an awesome selection of music.

The Return of Mana project, an attempt to create a 3D game based in the World of Mana using the engine from Half Life 2, spent quite some time on hold for one reason or another. Toward the end of March this year they announced that they have started looking for new members to further develop the project. So if you’re interested, head on over to their webpage and see if there is anything that you can contribute to advancing the game.

Begs the questions as to why there was ever a point even hoping for anything different.
No Mana, no surprise.

Still, at least there’s some Dragon Quest in there, Duran. Other than that, predictable as ever. Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. I found it funny that on one site they were moaning that those two and Mana were the only series getting any attention. Which yes, we’ve had a few Mana titles recently, but were they worth it?

Please note that this list was obtained from a third-party fan site, NOT from official Square sources directly, so it is plausible that this list is inaccurate or does not represent the final line-up (or could even be a load of rabite fodder), so take with a pinch of salt.

The most cliché place to go for summer vacation is to the beach, so the Legend of Mana track To the Sea is a pretty fitting Seiken Densetsu tune for the summer.

Er, my updating spiel kind of died… new updates are still coming, just slowly as I’m trying to get my sleeping disorder nailed down again.

The E3 expo approaches (1 month to go), and Square have confirmed attendance. So far they have not announced their line-up for this year, but let’s face it, there is no point even holding out hope for anything Mana related to be on the agenda. No doubt there will be at least a dozen Final Fantasy titles, and maybe the occasional other tidbit. But, should, by strange twist of fate, a Mana title be announced, you’ll hear it from us faster than you can say antidisestablishmentarianism.

Are you one of the many that wants to level up to the max level in Seiken Densetsu 3, but lack of motivation or ideas of how to level up as fast as possible? Trang is one of the few who actually maxed the level for all six characters. Not only that, he also did max for all classes. He is now sharing his leveling tips with rest of us Seiken Densetsu 3 players. You can see his leveling guide in the Level guide in the Seiken Densetsu 3 section.
Thank you, Trang

Hey, remember when this site used to never get updated?

I’ve begun work on overhauling the Bestiary section. All of the images are broken on most of the pages because our old gallery is gone, and it was pulling images from there, so I’ve got to go through and fix those. I’m also adding information on enemies from SwoM, CoM, and DoM.

Pages that have been updated today include: Dragons, Ducks, Eggs, Faces, Flowers, Ghosts, Gigas, Jewel Beasts and the Lord of Jewels, Liches, Mantis Ants, Ninjas, Dragons, Succubi, Tigers and the Jackal, Tropicallos, and Vampires.

And I still have 47 more pages to go…

Head over to the Seiken Densetsu 3 Character Gallery to find some awesome chibi character arts!

In the book these images were seriously the size of a quarter, I had scan at a ludicrously high DPI to get these scans this large, so you people better enjoy them XD.

They come in two sizes, decent size and gigantic size.

Coming up soon are more SD3 scans, they won’t be as large as these though because it takes forever to get the scans done, and the rest of the scans I’ve got left are only really useful for making site sections look neat.

Speaking of sections looking neat, I put some images and updated the SD3 Magic Items and SD3 Class Items pages. They might change again depending on what Deques does to them.
