MMM Special – New Pages Launched – Staff Rolls

September 10th, 2007 | Kassidy Kearey | Filed under Children of Mana, Final Fantasy Adventure, Music, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Sword of Mana

This week, I bring you not only the Music Monday, but another batch of updates which are related to the pieces below. I’ve chosen these two by Hiroki Kikuta, because in spite their overall simplicity, they greatly enhance the emotional connection to the story.

Expired

I don’t know about you guys, but when I go to watch a film in the cinema, I stay right ’til the end of the credits while everyone else starts packing out like rats from a sinking ship, and there are several reasons I do this. Read the rest of this entry »

Labor Day bore — Final Fantasy Adventure Weapons

September 3rd, 2007 | Dr. Sheexy | Filed under Final Fantasy Adventure

But Sheexy, you say, today is Labor day! What are you doing updating the site on they day when you aren’t supposed to do any work?
The answer is plain and simple: I got really bored.

Head on over to the Final Fantasy Adventure Weapons Page and check out the scans of the weapons I got for you! All of the weapons are there, except for the Zeus Axe and XCalibur… for some strange reason those two didn’t make it into the guide.

Expect to see the armor page updated sometime this week!

Exploding Back into Action

August 29th, 2007 | Dr. Sheexy | Filed under Final Fantasy Adventure, Whatever Wednesday

The Final Fantasy Adventure overhaul has begun! Head on over to the Final Fantasy Adventure magic page and check out the magic spell drawings I’ve scanned in. I’m going to keep working at scanning and cleaning up the images from the Japanese guide and after a while all of the FFA sections will have some nice images to go with them.
I know it’s kind of funny for me to focus my work on the oldest game, but man, that game is my favorite!

Also, this update is kind of small because I finally got around to getting Dawn of Mana and am currently playing through it. The game is really fun and the controls aren’t too bad, but seriously, the story is terrible!

August 10th, 2007 | Dr. Sheexy | Filed under Final Fantasy Adventure

Now this is the story all about how
The hero’s life got flipped, turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute so just sit right there
I’ll tell you how he became the hero of a world called Fa’Diel

Final Fantasy Adventure Merchandise

July 27th, 2007 | Dr. Sheexy | Filed under Final Fantasy Adventure, Merchandise

The Final Fantasy Adventure Merchandise section is now up and running here. Check it out to learn about all the awesome and old FFA stuff that are out there for you to collect.

From here on out the Merchandise section pages might take a little longer, because when it came to Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana, Children of Mana and Dawn of Mana Square apparently decided they needed to make lots of goodies for the series.

New FFA Remix – Amanda’s Tear

July 5th, 2007 | Kassidy Kearey | Filed under Final Fantasy Adventure, Remixes

We have another new remix over in our Final Fantasy Adventure Remixes section courtesy of OCRemix and Big Giant Circles, called Amanda’s Tear. It takes the theme In Sorrow and applies a well orchestrated electronica feel to it, with a nifty guitar solo thrown in for good measure. Check it out!

Friends of Mana and Overviews

June 6th, 2007 | Kassidy Kearey | Filed under Children of Mana, Final Fantasy Adventure, Friends of Mana, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Seikens, Sword of Mana

Today is a busy day for updates all round, so I shall detain you no longer.

First off, you can now click on the link for Friends of Mana over in the menu on your right because, that’s right, the Friends of Mana section is now open for business. While only currently bringing you a detailed overview of the game (which as far as I can tell is the most detailed one available to date in English), hopefully at some point we will be able to expand on some of the finer details of this game, though not necessarily as a high priority since, let’s face it, unless you’re in Japan you’re not going to play the game anyway.

Secondly, I decided to go through all the old games in the series and write-up an introductory overview page for them in the same manner that I had done for Dawn (not the review, that was done by Duran, and a great job too) and Children of Mana. So you can now find a bit of history and brief description of FFA, SoM, SD3, SwoM and CoM (revamped). Legend of Mana will also join the ranks at some point, need to work out a few things for that first (since right now that game is covered by qLoM).

And keep filling out those Polls that Wai has put in place! 😉

Mana Music Monday

June 4th, 2007 | Kassidy Kearey | Filed under Final Fantasy Adventure, Music, Sword of Mana

We’re back with Mana Music Monday, bringing you more samples from those soundtracks that brought the game to life, and this week we’re looking at a comparison between a track from Final Fantasy Adventure that was remade for the later Sword of Mana.

The track in question is one of my personal favourites: In Search of the Holy Sword, a track I always felt should have been included among those arranged for the Let the Thoughts Ride on Knowledge album.

Square Battle Tracks Vol.1 Released

May 12th, 2007 | Kassidy Kearey | Filed under Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Seikens

Square’s Battle Tracks Vol.1 has now been released, as was previously announced to happen here. Just to remind you, the CD contains three Seiken Densetsu related tracks (FFA’s “Battle 1”, SoM’s “Danger” and SD3’s “Nuclear Fusion”), though we can now confirm that, sadly, the tracks are not remixed or rearranged at all, so nothing new and exciting (to the point that Danger, or Crisis as they have named it, only loops the once, same as the SoM OST).

Only the track “Last Battle” from Romancing SaGa 2 is remixed.
