"TRIALS of MANA" was announced to be released on PS4 and Nintendo Switch at E3 2019 in June 2019.
It is still fresh in our minds that after 25 years, the editorial team of Saiga NAK was thrilled by the full remake of the legendary masterpiece.
Since then, new information and trailers have been released, and with only about a month until the game's release on Friday, April 24, 2020, new information has been announced and a free demo version will be available!
What is "Trials of Mana"?
"Trials of Mana" is an action RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) released by Square (now Square Enix) in 1995.
The first "Mana series" was released on Game Boy in 1991 as "Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden", but the second "Secret of Mana" is different from "Final Fantasy Gaiden".
The game's revolutionary system, in which the main character and two companions are chosen from a list of six characters, and a total of three players are involved in the adventure, as well as the unique abilities and stories of each character, their relationships with other characters, and which class they change to.
The original version can be played on the Nintendo Swtich "Seiken Densetsu Collection"!
The demo version will be available on March 18!
The free demo version of "TRIALS of MANA" will be released on Wednesday, March 18, 2020!
You will be able to choose the main character and his/her friends from 6 characters and play the first part of the game. You can enjoy all the new and improved elements!
This weekend is a three-day weekend, so you can play the game with all your might!
New elements of the remake have been revealed!
As this is a full remake, there are many new elements that will be added.
Here are some of the new elements that have been newly revealed!
You can change your class to the new "Class 4"!
In the original version, you could only change classes up to "Class 3", but in the remake, you can change classes to "Class 4" in a new episode that can be played after the ending of the game!
There are many things to wonder about, such as which of the two "Class 4" (light or dark) to choose, what special skills they have, and what items are needed for the class change!
We have just released visuals of all the "Class 4" characters and the names of the light and dark "Class 4" characters.
It's nice that the design makes it easy to tell at a glance whether the character is light or dark!

Light: Saber
Dark: Berserk
Angela: Class 4 "Spellcaster"
Light: Witch Queen
Dark: Spellcaster
Kevin: Class 4 "Destroyer"

A Strong New Game

You will be able to play from the beginning with some data such as Luke, normal items, link abilities, and the number of Mr. Cactus (Saboten-kun) found, which will be described later.
Characters who have cleared the new episode will inherit their level at the time of clearing, so you can choose other characters as your companions when you make them the main characters to advance the storyline!

In the world of "TRIALS of MANA," the well-known character "Mr. Cactus (Saboten-kun)" is hidden all over the world.
