i love the mana series, despite the fact that by all accounts it is mostly what people would consider a "B tier" rpg. what i mean by that is that there's stuff that people would hate, like a lack of lypsynching, a straightforward story, the usual suspects

but if you're into the series, Visions of Mana is absolutely worth playing. problem is, it feels like that's only *who* this is for. the game is referential to its heritage, almost to a fault. a lot of people would not care about what the game is presenting you with, despite its overall stellar visual presentation. which on that note, it feels like you're playing in one of Isono's paintings. amazing effort on that front by the visuals and design team.

but past that? i don't know if most people would like it. i still think it's a strong recommend if you're into the genre, though I think most people would prefer the Trials of Mana remake, but I do love what visions put on my plate and is serving me.
