One of the best action rpgs we have the joy of playing in the year of our Lord 2026.
A jap has beaten it over 300 times, and is streaming it now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1MTB-7cPYw
If you claim to have a "favorite rpg" but haven't beaten it even 10 times, are you even telling the truth? Are you even a fan of it? Or is it just fake interest on your part?

Speed running like grinding seems more like autistic stimming behavior than genuine enjoyment, and is rarely done by the mentally well.

It's very slow, yet a good game.

I would like the game way way more if it didn't take 5 full seconds every time I moved in the menu
Also I remember the ice area being complete fucking bullshit for some reason but it's been years since I've played it so I don't remember specifics

good job outing yourself as a newfag. It's Seiken Densetsu 3.

Its funny because casual players are often the first ones to look up overpowered strats online.

I'm kind of jealous to be honest, I have periods where I can't find "the right" rpg game to play and invest my time in, meanwhile there are guys out there re-playing the same rpg a hundred times in a row and having a blast. You can tell from his streams he's having a good time, despite the tight time attack restrictions and goals he has

I'm overdue for a replay, I think I've gone through it 5 times. Had to drop the remake cause the action isn't as fun.

This game is a 1000x better than Secret of Mana, but I hear about it way less unfortunately.

timeless classic, especially the third game seiken densetsu 3 which never got ported over unfortunately.

I like it, but I'm not gonna sing that much praise for it. It's a fun beat-em-up, but it's slow and very grindy if you're not aware of cheese strats. The Benevedon Hunt and grind for ??? Seeds are massive chores.

aren't you the speedrunner retard that was crying about rpgs on /vr/? did that attention get you hungry for more?

There's literally no reason to play it over the remake.

Is the "Class Balance" fan patch any good? Any other fan patch you can recommend?

Until they mod the game to play more like sword of mana I can't imagine sitting through this game again. Once was enough. Sword and children are better than it even with their problems. Secret is not even a finished game but it plays alright too if you don't care.

I like how speedrunners play Seiken Densetsu 3 with two gamepads simultaneously

This topic has nothing to do with RPGs, it's all vague personal principles about how to engage with games. Belongs on /v/.

Seiken Densetsu 3 was probably my favorite snes game as a kid but it does not hold up as an adult (beat it recently), there is too much wrong with it. It's a bad game. People in this thread are bullshitting or haven't beaten it. That being said, it's probably the best looking snes game (along with Star Ocean).

I just got the 3d version of Trials of Mana last winter sale, never played it before. Which version is better 2d or 3d?

That's interesting discussion. I'm not a fan of speedrunning, especially the ones that skip actual gameplay through bugs. I actually enjoy stretching out games I know well with self-given restrictions and tasks because I don't like "finishing" my games. Once you reach the end, it's over. I never liked that. This is probably why I love MMOs, too.

You know how some speedrunners cheat with emulators? Not trusting it.On a different note, since this should work as a proxy Mana thread, how do you think will they make an anime out of Trials? Honestly, I want them to make a dual protagonist angle focusing primarily on Duran (the intended protagonist) and Riesz (the most popular Mana character in Japan), with the two interchanging protagonist roles in certain intervals in the story while covering almost every storyline in the game by making Angela, Hawkeye, Kevin and Charlotte rotate positions as the third party member (the anime concept is logically impossible considering the interchanging protagonist concept alone, but we're taking liberties here anyway). Though to be honest, does anyone think we need a new Mana anime adaptation?

This is the slowest action RPG I've ever played in my life and the balance is shit. The remake was a huge improvement.

jesus, this kid is so desperate for attention. he's doing the same bit over and over in multiple threads.
