It’s been a while, but I’m getting through these! Time for another video from the YouTube Channel of ManaRedux. Time to learn the history of the world map. My first experience with the world map of Secret of Mana came when I first borrowed the game from my aunt. She had already beaten the game, and I enjoyed loading up her save to see all the cool stuff I could do on her file while I struggled endlessly to beat the Fire Gigas on my own. That took a while, because I was young and did not understand leveling up. Unable to make it through the barrage of Goblins and Chess Knights with enough items and magic to beat the boss, I attempted to use barrels to sneak past them all to no avail. Anyway, one time when exploring my aunt’s save, I ended up calling Flammie. I had no idea what was going on, or that I could even land, but it was sure cool to zoom around looking at all the scenery. Let’s get to the video.

THe Evolution of the World Map

The much more detailed world map iterations are so cool! I wish the game could have kept the more detailed mapping that the early game areas have. Though, that may have made the copy pasted maps of the later game overworlds (Upper Lands and Ice Country in particular). I thought this video would only focus on the world map with Flammie, but the screenshots of early ground level areas were a great inclusion and very cool to see. Seeing some of the more recent remake world map was cool too, considering I have not looked into that one much.
