"SD4:Legend of Mana" is still a great entry in the SD series.If you were looking for another Zelda-styled RPG,be verra disappointed.The fighting style is rather diffrent this time around.The battles are rather Arcade-Game like and is rather a very intresting change of pace.Unfortunately,you cannot run away from battles(pooh,but oh well,you'll be stronger!).
There is not one,but many,many,many storylines in the game!However,here is the main story:
'It was many years after the Mana tree recovered (unlike FF,the SD series follow each other believe it or not),everything was utopian,or at least seemed like it for a while.But then,strife began and people lost hope in Mana and people were hopelessly fighting.900 years later,the world lays in wreck.Two sprites,one boy,one girl (of course ^-^) must find the artifacts and restore the world to it's former beauty that was many years ago.'
The extra options help too,such as raising pet monsters,making golems,magic instuments,armour and weapons.Most of the characters were wonderfully scupted and done well.Most are even cute too as well (but weren't the other SD characters cute as well? ^-^).
But the two things I did not like about it is that they took cute chibi Flammie out of the game and replaced her with ugly and deformed looking hippo creatures.I also hated Niccolo,the fat bunny salesman.I just feel like slamming the door hard and scream.
But I won't let the flaws in the way of anything.
