We’ve got some nice new images up in the Dawn of Mana Gallery!

You can check out new Character Art, Monster Art, and Scenery Art.

There are a lot of fun images in here, like Needlebirds sleeping by poking their beaks into the ground, weapons for a few of the main characters, and some beautiful images of landscapes.

I found all these images in a zip file on an old hard drive, I think they’re dated to around 2012 or so. I have no idea where they came from, but it seems they may have been ripped directly from the game.

If you’re in the mood for some new (old) Secret of Mana art, head over to Secret of Mana: Redux for a collection of images! There are also some new lore postings as well that I’ll mention below.

Characters: Serin – As seen on the right, there is a great piece of art from Dengeki Super Famicom showcasing Randi’s encounter with the mysterious ghost at the bottom of the falls.

Characters: Truffle – A cute bit of art of the characters meeting the folks from Matango. The characters seem a bit suspicious.

Characters: Luka – Scroll down a bit to see how Randi feels about Luka. 

Locations: Ice Country – Check out the bottom of this page to see some absolutely adorable outfits for Popoie and Purim, Randi isn’t looking too impressed, however.

Locations: Kakkara – About halfway down the page you can check out some art about an encounter with the Spider Legs, and continue on to read about a small piece of cut material from the game. 

Lore: Dengeki – Some new art from the 4/9/93 Square Power Book is showcased here, along with translations of the text accompanying it. Additionally, translations from the 5/14/93 issue can be found, including some Final Fantasy Adventure stuff, some backstory for Dyluck, and info on Popoie’s home!

Lore: Marukatsu – The 1/1/93 issue has some translations of very early information from the game, as well as many more comparisons to Final Fantasy Adventure. Head most of the way down the page for an absolute treasure trove of art from 9/10/93! Some really fun stuff here, don’t miss it! ManaRedux was able to get these art scans thanks to the help of bluebomber. Thanks!

Special thanks to Sevon (the guy with the nifty Legend of Mana pages and intensely immense SaGa pages) for all the help on many of the translations found on these pages! 

The Merchandise section, which has been dead for close to a decade, has finally been restored!

You can currently read about:
Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana (1993), Seiken Densetsu 3 (1995), Children of Mana, Dawn of Mana, Heroes of Mana, and general World of Mana merchandise!
Wow! Aren’t you lucky?

Well, maybe just a little bit anyway. You see, the Merchandise section is kinda ugly and quite outdated. I have plans to add more content in the future and spruce the place up, but for now it’s better than nothing! A few details may be wrong or out-of-date here and there, but still, it’s good to have it back! I found the old merch section files on the FTP, and it seemed a shame to let it sit there unknown and alone! After all, I created 232 individual images of Mana merch to put the section together. I must have had a lot of time on my hands back in the day.
Ah, good times.

Finally! Riesz class page, and the last one, has been updated! With this update all character’s class pages have been updated with the new layout and information. It was quite a lot of work and it took way too long to start with this update, but it’s better late than never 🙂

It took a bit longer time to update Hawkeye’s class page, but here it is. With this update we only got Riesz’s page to update.

Today we updated Charlotte’s (Carlie’s) class page with updated layout and information for the remake version. Only two characters left to update.

Kevin’s class page has been updated with the new layout format and information for the remake version. As like the previous pages even Kevin’s page had incorrect information. But all these has been corrected.

With this updated there are only three characters left to update

Duran’s class page has been updated to with same layout as Angela’s class page. Both class pages also now have information for their respective 4th classes. There were some minor formatting error on Angela’s page, these have been corrected. 

With Duran’s page updated we have four more pages left to update!

Check out the trailer below to see a bit more of Echoes of Mana. You’ll notice some familiar faces abound, like Eggatrices, Mantis Ant, and Fullmetal Haggar. They show off some villain characters along with all the heroes at the end, which might be kind of interesting if they’re “playable”.

What are your thoughts about the game? It’s going to be mobile, and most likely gacha… it’s got me worried for sure.

Also, kind of sad to see so many games represented, but Sword of Mana gets no love. We need Willy! Even though I still believe he should have died.

This is something that I have wanted for a long time but never had much time to work on. And it is to update the Trials of Mana pages to fit with the official translation of the game. Trials of Mana, also known as Seiken Densetsu 3, was never available outside of Japan. A fan translation by Neill Corlett was released August 2000. 

The game was officially released for the North America and PAL regions in June 2019 as part of Collection of Mana, which contained the three first games in original versions. With this release there are many things that have been differently translated.

Today I have update Angela’s class page! The updated page not only contains official translation, but also information for the remake that was released last year. For now the page doesn’t have information for the final classes for each light/dark path. But I will add those later. I will try to update the class information for all the other characters as soon as possible.
