I’ve been gone for a bit, and in that time ManaRedux from over at Secret of Mana: Redux has been busy making videos for his YouTube Channel. I’m going to watch through them when I get time, and you can watch along with me if you’d like. Or just go binge watch all seven right now. Me? I’m gonna take my time.

Two Northtown Anomalies

These two anomalies kept me pretty busy guessing as a kid. I always wondered if the weird secret passageway in Northtown mentioned on our Secrets page had something to do with the carousel looking thing. As for the door in the resistance base, I think kid me chalked that one up to the base actually being a much larger operation with multiple levels only accessible to the most trusted operatives. Obviously, with Popoi in tow, Kristie wasn’t taking any chances.

On second thought, that one was pretty short so I’m going to watch another. Some of the others are quite a bit longer, but the first couple are short.

The Mysterious Deleted Path

This video has some great information and footage about early versions of the early game map. The little islands with the whip poles on them remind me of the area surrounding Wendel in Final Fantasy Adventure. The Garuda from FFA showing up, along with a small dock that looks perfect for a Chocobot to take off from just emphasize the similarities to me. It’s awesome to see these glimpses into early development. It’s just a shame the entire game could not have had this much time poured into it (looking at you, Ice Country).
