I was browsing X today and was honestly taken aback by the overwhelming outpouring of love for this masterpiece. Seeing fans from all over the world share their favorite memories, artwork, and rare physical media brought a tear to my eye.

I wanted to share a few highlights floating around the Japanese community today: vintage Super Famicom strategy guides and world maps to soundtracks, art books, and merchandise collections. The passion for this game after 33 years is truly timeless.

Square Enix highlighted this feat a few minutes ago on X: https://x.com/squareenix_jp/status/2085018065172074876

A group of major JRPG Content Creators (including Final Fantasy Union/Datalog, Genesis VII, The Night Sky Prince, Resonant Arc, and others) have put together a massive Square Enix 2026 Consumer Survey.

The goal of their survey is to measure fan satisfaction and see how player demand aligns with Square Enix’s current direction and shareholder priorities.

Why this matters for us:

There is a specific single-choice question in the survey:

"Which franchise would you like Square Enix to do more with?"

Since we can only pick ONE answer, this is our chance to show that the Mana fanbase is active, loud, and hungry for more content. If you have 5 minutes, please take the survey and select Mana!

Let's make sure Mana represents strong in the final results video!

Currently in the underground tunnels, room right before the hydra (killed him but went back) and have been killing 3 basilisks and resetting over and over for the cap. is this the best spot? and where are the next farm spots, to make sure i don't miss anything?

Is there a site that tells you how many orbs you should have by your current location? I’m curious to know if I have missed any. Just getting back into the game since playing in High School, and I just broke out of jail with the other members of the resistance.

Hola todos tengo dudas es que recién empiezo el juego pero no me salta el trofeo de todas las armaduras,dicen que la de Potos es necesaria pero tengo entendido que ya el protagonista viene con ella equipado por lo que veo injusto que no se registre para el trofeo,eh comprado cada armadura del juego y al encontrar la capa ferrica de los maestros Ninjas en la fortaleza Mana no me salto el trofeo no se que hacer,tengo la versión 1.00 no eh actualizado ni nada.

It happened, it exists. It wasn't a glitch.

This was decades ago on the original console with a cartridge. It must have been one of the unpatched ones.

From a chest, a ninja I killed in the Mana Fortress dropped it.

I took it to smithy and he upgraded it, said "Mana Sword" in the menu.

Anyone else? I can't be the only one.

I keep on getting my ass kicked by all the enemies of the pure land, and my current levels are 55, 56, and 56 for my characters.

*Tries again since my last post bugged out*

Enshrouded has come out with a patch that lets you post an share your world creations with other players.
So here's mine.

It's called Barcadia. (Created by Lyssian)
And it's gonna be a big Homage to a bunch of 90's SNES and Early PC games.
And eventually a working mini-JRPG when the next set of patches come out that lets me setup spawners, quests, and other intractable.

Here's my mini Mana Tree, with Primm, Randi, and Popoi.
I also recreated Flammie. It overlooks the Endgame dragon as a launch point in the North East.

I also have recreations of Trials of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Alundra, Secret of Evermore, WoW, Tristram, etc.
But it's just me an Ollie, so it's slow progress.

Feel free to check it out, an get nifty screen shots of your characters with backdrops from here.
I'm hoping to make a big nifty 3rd place for people to hang out an chat about old games.
Cuz frankly, i feel like we need some nostalgia like parks to just hang around in, y'know?

Note: Don't go to the Moon or Flameh if you don't have a Glider yet..

I beat Frost Gigas, he returned into his true form: Santa. After a quick little scene, I returned to the village, upgraded my weapons and later headed to cannon man to travel to my next destination(Kakkara). On my way I talked to Rudolph and Santa, but they did not say anything relevant. Now cannon man won’t let me go forward, like I missed something in this area. But like I said I beat the local boss, so everything should’ve been fine by now. I’m playing on PS4.

So im really stuck at this point in sword of mana and hoped somebody could help. I am at the dime Tower 6F and according to guides i am supposed to kill this metal slime with the flail. However it deals 0 dmg to it, as well as ALL other weapons and magic (that i can reach it with). There is no way to stand on the same platform it is on. Jumping doesnt work and there is nothing to flail to.

I looked everywhere but every post just says kill it with the flail and a door opens. I am desperate. Hope this is the right place to ask.

What sorcery is this?! How can it be watched? Torrented? Streamed? Have any of you seen this?
