It's a beautiful, beautiful game.
I suggest grinding a bit at the game's beginning. The first few bosses are arguably the hardest,
And most every time you find a new town the armor will be better than what you already possess.
Have fun!

I'm liking the artwork so far, and I'm liking the music even more. The music is constantly getting stuck in my head when I shut the game off.
There's a few things that are annoying me. Like a few times, I had enemies absolutely stun lock me to death.

While I may have been more into Genesis in the early 90s, by the mid 90s, I was solidly into the Super Nintendo and all its games. It also grew up with me. In the early days, I was exclusively an action kid. Super Mario World was the first game I really aced back and front. But I also loved Super Castlevania IV, Link to the Past, Mega Man X (shout-out to Nintendo Power with that silver cover), Contra III, and I'm sure a bunch of mid-tier games that I don't always remember.

I have a box of Nintendo Powers from my childhood and while some issues have gone missing over time, luckily I still have that one. The other SNES related cover I like is the issue for Illusion of Gaia, which featured a warrior holding a sword looking back at a pyramid and a night sky in the background. Always thought that was a cool illustration.
o.pwuaioc wrote:Yeah, I don't like calling it an RPG. Many will say ARPG, but really it's a Zelda-like with upgradeable stats and equipment. Which isn't bad at all, and when I first played it right after LttP, it blew my mind. LttP was a solid upgrade from the original LoZ, but SoM felt like a new level completely.

Note wrote:Love Secret of Mana! I didn't play this until the winter of 2017, when I bought myself the SNES Classic. However, I got hooked on the game and played it a lot for the following few weeks. The gameplay really clicked with me, and I loved the graphics and music. I discovered this game during a rough time for my family, and it really gave me an escape and distraction from what was going on at the time. Anyway, it's definitely become one of my favorite games on the console. I was able to score a cheap cart in early 2020, so I'm looking forward to revisiting it one day on actual hardware. Enjoy it!

o.pwuaioc wrote:Pretty cool you kept your NP mags! I only wish I had. Instead I had to rebuild them over the years, but never got close to re-getting those early ones. Bitd I had them all until about 1995 or so. Honestly, it's the only magazine I wanted to re-buy. I only wish Sega had put out something comparable, since I remember Sega Visions being pretty awful.
o.pwuaioc wrote:Ziggy, aren't my copies of FFV and Seiken Densetsu 3 your work? I thought I remember you being the one to do those for me years back. I long wanted a copy of FFIV JP translated into English and playable on a Super Nintendo, but I eventually just decided that FFIV on the GBA sufficed.
