For all hardcore Mana fans this wouldn't come as a surprise. But for all other fans here is a juicy information for you.
The eight elements are coming back in this game and will have a big role in the story. For each elemental spirit the player obtains they will be rewarded with new abilites and the spirit's power.
Isn't that juicy? Well, I don't know why even I should write this kind of news. But apperantly they were published in the magicbox.
