A while back Deques brought us news of the Children of Mana soundtrack being available for purchase at Square Enix’s iTunes store, and the near release of Dawn of Mana’s OST. Now, if you’re still not the proud owner of the previous games’ soundtracks, you can now buy and download them here: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/sem/page/dl/seiken/

Available are:
– Seiken Densetsu 2 (aka Secret of Mana) for 1200yen
– Seiken Densetsu 3 for 2700yen
– Seiken Densetsu Mobile for 900yen
– Children of Mana for 1800yen

Or, if you were looking for hard-copies on CD, you can mosey on over to their Amazon store and buy the following:
– Seiken Densetsu (FFA) for 3700
– Seiken Densetsu 2 (1 CD) for 1835yen
– Secret of Mana + for 2421yen
– Seiken Densetsu 3 (3CD set) for 3486yen
– Legend of Mana for 2570yen
– Sword of Mana Premium Soundtrackfor 2850yen

And in case there wasn’t a date already, the OST for Dawn of Mana is slated for 24th Jan 2007 at the price of 3800yen, and comes in a 4CD set.

It’s also worth mentioning at this point that Kikuta-san recently launched a solo project containing music that he composed round about the time he started work on SoM, but which was never used in any game. The CD is called Lost Files, and is available for 2700yen from Amazon in Japan.

Monster, monster.

Hey everybody!
Sheexy here, I managed to upload some more Legend of Mana pictures into the gallery without breaking anything.  The new pictures are of every item you can craft in legend of mana.  Weapons, armor and instruments; they are all there.

Also, I’m going to start up a Seiken Densetsu Bestiary.  I’ve already got all the images I need from the first four games, but it would be awesome help if someone could get me enemy sprites from Sword of Mana.  So far I’m at 516 images for this thing… this will take some time.

Check, check it see.

This little guy notices the changes in the layout, do you?

Awesome job Wai!

A new gallery button can be found underneath the forum button to the right.  Be sure to check out the new Seiken Densetsu 3 images uploaded to the gallery, including sketches by a dude named Sasarin who apparently worked on the games.  I’d give you more info on that, but his site has unfortunately disappeared.

Also, a big thanks to Duran from the forums for sending me some more pictures for the gallery!  Check out the Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3 and the Legend of Mana sections for some new stuff.  Thanks Duran!  And I’ll end this note with this touching scene from Secret of Mana that Duran made himself.

Check out the gallery to find one hundered and ten new images under Legend of Mana.
They are all pretty small, but they are of every character you can imagine from the game!
Awesome!
