Secret of Mana to iPhone?

[Kassidy]

No change to music of sound effects, it would seem:

Some dialogue changes.
And the player appears to not understand the nature of the attack gauge. BUTTON MASH!!!

Dialogue changes?! Could this mean we finally have a new, more accurate translation (as even the original translator admitted due to deadline and spacing constraints his version was bare bones)?

[Kassidy]

I suspect it will just be embellished, similar to the VWF patch out there.

Well seeing as Microsoft has a problem with making the Zune work multi-platform i decided to sell it and get an iPod Touch (Device is great. I really missed out with my anti-apple attitude). The first thing I got from the App store was Secret of Mana.

I can get some pictures and the what not if you guys are interested.

aww man... I wish I had an iphone, this version looks so epic...
And I did notice a few differences here. for instance at the ghost... "...I entrust the sword to you..." was "...Randi...It is I who asked...The Sword..."... the original had me confused at what was being said there.

Hey all, i haven't been here a while, but just got that game on my iPhone for two days (and then saw this thread - later).

One thing is sure, it has been re-made and it's not a ROM-2-Iphone thing or something. I've just beaten the Mantis thing in Potos, so i've been playing only for a couple of minutes.
I like it, but nothing beats a bigger screen and a real controller to hold.


EDIT: My iPhone is Jailbroken. So i didn't pay the 8 dollar (6 euro's) for the game. PM me if you are interested , discuss in this thread if you don't want to mention anything about Jailbreaking.

I'm actually interested in jailbreaking. It seems the only way to sync a 4g with ios 4.2.1 with linux is to jailbreak it.

Back on topic I find the controls to be rather decent for a touch only system. It's not ruined like the DS Zelda games. It's pretty much a controller on the screen it self. It's kind of nice to legally play Secret of Mana at work... or anyway for that fact.

lmao... that would be nice... although I can't even play emulators at work... I really wouldn't be able to play period, as I work at Subway, and have to stay busy busy busy...

I don't play it while I'm working. Just over lunch. I've played minecraft while working but everyone was on vacation including my boss so I could get away with it XD.

Sometimes i have Farmville open during work.

In the past i used public transport to get to school or work. Then i'd game for 30 minutes untill i arrived. Nowdays (2.5 years already) i own a company car and really miss the ability to game while travelling.

So, I had some time to play it a little bit and one thing that really threw me off is that you don't get captured by the goblins in the beginning to introduce Purim.

I also have some comparison screenshots (That I'll post when I get around to it). Particularly one of the Potos exit. The potted plant had been moved up. My guess is to stop the glitch of getting back in.

Spoiler: show

hhmmm... on the way back from the water palace i got captured by Golbins, went in the cooking pot and met Puurim (dubble u ?).

right now leveling up before entering the Forest to find out i need an axe.

EDIT: ok, started a new game and named Randi "Deadwolf", also as proof that i'm actually playing the game , will check on the goblins this afternoon. I'm at work atm and cannot game the whole time

[Kassidy]

IIRC the Goblin village scene will only activate if you talk to the troops in front of the Water Palace and watch them leave. Otherwise it doesn't happen.

[Kefka]

o_0 interesting! i did talk to the group in my first round,and now runnig as Deadwolf i didn't... will check it within a couple of hours.

EDIT: it does! or actually does not! niiiiiiccceeee

[DeadWolf]

Purim is also defaulted to Primm.

Anyone know if you can turn off that double tap a direction to run. It screws me up most of the time in the heat of battle.

@Kassidy: I want to say I talked to the troops. I may have blazed passed them with out thinking twice about it.
