And there you have it, another disappointment from Square.

Gonna hold out hope that it will somehow lead to physical cards.

But yeah, seems like something we'll never see just like friends of mana.

Guess we shouldn't be surprised, Square has been shafting us for quite some time with sub-par games and Japanese-only releases.

Guys, at least we are getting FF XIII-3!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I played through X and attempted X-2 but gave up very, very early on. The whole metro-sexual protagonist thing does not work for me. Give me Cecil or Chrono or even Cloud over these half man-chick things.

But that is what's selling, I suppose, and ultimately that's the reason why we're not getting any more Mana: it's not selling. Is it too much of a stretch to think that there are a sufficient number of casual, older, and likely well-funded gamers who would gladly pay full retail price for an RPG that looked, felt and played like the ones we grew up with? Is $60 is too much to spend for a SoM or Chrono Trigger sequel/clone that did little more than pay homage to the golden age of RPGs? A truly engaging story, compelling characters and simplistic, fast gameplay sounds like a money maker to me and something I'd gladly shell out the cash for.

Grrr! I'm so irked. I thought for sure that it was going to be something interesting. If not a brand new game for the 3DS or Wii U or something then at least a remake/port of SD3 ala SoM. :/ And that it would finally officially get localized. Ah well.

Disappointing, but not unexpected - after the debacle that was World of Mana. I guess Square action adventure fans should just shift to the Kingdom Hearts series.
