[Vita/Mobile] Adventures of Mana

[Narcissu]

There was a bit of an argument going on in Square Enix on whether they should do the remake as a 2D game, but Oyamada explained that it easier to control 3D games on smartphone. From there, they settled on the idea that it would be better to make it in 3D, especially should they consider doing remakes for Seiken Densetsu 2 and Seiken Densetsu 3.*

...

“If that’s the case, this Final Fantasy Adventure would be the base for them,” says Oyamada. “If it gets well-received, then I’d like to use it as a base to do a remake for Seiken Densetsu 3. We’ve already thought about doing even better remakes should there be a demand for it. If there’s demand for Secret of Mana, then we’ll consider it as well.”

Bitte erst mal ein neues Mana-Spiel. Und wenn das SD3-Remake auch so aussieht wie dieses hier, habe ich auch kein großes Interesse dran.

They’re also already thinking about a PlayStation 4 version, for after this one releases.

...

Hm, von diesem Spiel? Sehe ich jetzt nicht den großen Sinn drinnen. ^^ Port von Handhelds auf Konsolen wirken oft extrem halbherzig und billig.

As previously mentioned, the story and dialogue aren’t being changed for the remake. The graphics are enhanced, but there aren’t any elements from the newer Mana games. However, they’ve considered the possibilities of being able to add things through updates, depending on fan feedback.

When asked about the pricing, Oyamada says that he believes it’ll cost around 1,400 yen (roughly $11.60). He’s also asked about Seiken Densetsu 5, the newest main-numbered title in the series, but he says that they currently can’t say much about it at this stage, but he can say that they haven’t given up on it.

1) Gut, Story nicht geändert.
2) Wird es überhaupt eine physische Vita-Version geben? Sieht so aus, als wäre das Spiel gleich als Budgettitel geplant worden. Wäre aber auch seltsam, wenn die Vita-Version 6000 Yen kosten würde, und die Smartphone-Version nur 1400.

Zu SD5: Ja, bitte!
