![]() ![]() ![]() Are the Mana games part of a shared universe? We are not planning to have multi-player added through a future update, either.” Instead, we thought that we would be able to create something better by focusing on it as a single-person game, and that’s how the decision came to be. This would have required us to split out time in creating a game that was enjoyable both offline and online. We also considered online multiplayer mode, but in order to do that, we would have had to incorporate additional elements specifically to make it enjoyable for online as well. This time, we used an adjustable third person perspective to enhance the feeling of being immersed in the world, so we didn’t include that option.

Why was that important? “Meanwhile, we made no changes to the original game’s core elements like the story and characters, instead focusing on refining the visuals to fit in with modern times.” As such, we incorporated additional action elements like evasion, aerial attacks, and combo attacks to match the upgraded graphics and gameplay. Particularly, we found that the action elements, which were originally created using the most advanced technology available at the time, needed to be adjusted to fit a modern 3D game. There were many elements that felt perfectly natural in the original game, but felt that they could be improved upon once they were in 3D. Additionally, only the main character’s prologue story could be experienced in the original game, but now you’ll be able to experience your two companions’ prologues as well and delve even deeper into the game’s world. For example, in the initial character selection, we’ve added detailed explanations of each character’s background and their unique qualities. Shinichi Tatsuke: “Yes, we’ve made various adjustments. Has the remake seen any changes to make the game more adaptable to those who haven’t played the original or the Mana series in general? Was it difficult to find a balance between faithful recreation and new modern experience? ![]()
