Neill Corlett decided that his effort would be well. In April of 1998, the RPGe web site announced that Richardīush had quit his Seiken Densetsu 3 translation project. Seikenĭensetsu 3 obscures its text behind numerous layers ofĬompression, putting it well out of reach of the casual Some of the more complex games, however, have proven tooīig a challenge for the fan translation community. Were not only possible, but feasible as well. Translation of Final Fantasy 5, and Neo Demiforce’s Finalįantasy 2 project. Several of these came into fruition most notably the RPGe Sparked a number of unofficial game translation projects. With the increasing popularity of video game emulators, People agree that Square made a grave mistake when theyĭecided not to market Seiken Densetsu 3 overseas -Įspecially after the success of its predecessor, Secret ofĪround 19, the growth of the internet, combined Some call it “the best Super Famicom game ever”, someĭismiss it as just another boring action game. The game comes highly recommended, but play the game for its music, if nothing else. Hiroki Kikuta returns (I think) to compose the music in SD3. It’s like Zelda, Squareified, for a complete lack of a better comparison. If you’ve played the others in the series, like Legend of Mana or Final Fantasy Adventure… well, you still know what to expect: run around and hit things with your sword. As far as gameplay, if you’ve played Secret of Mana you know what to expect. I seem to say that about every game, though. The whole “see the same events from a different perspective” thing works out really well here, it turns out. SD3 uses the old Squaresoft crutch of multiple playable characters within the same timeframe (see: Rudra, RS3). And the less said about Sword of Mana the better.

Sure, Secret of Mana may give it some competition, but I couldn’t stand SoM for some reason. This installment is unquestionably the best. Such is the way of all translations, I suppose. You guys didn’t have to endure the sheer pain that came before. Just think, all the newbies just take it for granted that SD3 is in English. Calling this game “Secret of Mana 2″ in front of the romhacking “scene” elite will earn you a quick correction, let me tell you something.
