Hello there! I hope you are doing well! :)

Thanks! :)

This game is so beautiful! It warms my heart that so many people love this game! I remember playing this game in the basement, at night, on an old buzzing CRT. That was well over 20 years ago, but it's still ingrained into my memory!

I played it again with my son some years ago. Needless to say it made the same impact on him as it did us. We’re waiting on Visions right now. Hope it drops this fall.

It really is so much fun!

@@Poz159 Thanks

@@franciscomallqui-q9r You're welcome! I hope you enjoy! :)

I love how Chrono Trigger deals with time travel! I'm generally not a huge fan of time travel stories as writers tend to use it to bring back dead characters, or as a cheat to get out of a situation, or is otherwise not very engaging. Chrono Trigger does time travel very well, and it feels like messing with the past has an actual impact on the future. Beating the final boss from different timelines, and during different times in the story/game itself, changes how the final cutscenes play out, which is really cool! I always loved that!

I filmed in front of a green screen, then used an alpha channel and changed some lighting settings in the editing software!

They really are! It's always fun when new games do that as a nod to the past. Inputting different codes that are built into the game itself is such a neat way to add replayability to games! Or make them easier hahaha xD

Yeah missiles in this game is not very good, though I'm not particularly great at finding the best times to use them either xD

That is so true! Kids can be exactly like that during a shopping trip! This game has such amazing humor!

That's funny! xD

Hello! Thank you for your comment! :)

The AI is technically harder/better, but I've played this game a whole lot, so my skill overtakes even the secret difficulty.

@@Poz159bro u are weak

@@Poz159ok it's 12 years old video nvm sorry

@@kaliberaziel5190 Haha it's all good! No worries! :)

@@kaliberaziel5190 Yeah I definitely had some things I could've done better for sure!

I'm glad this helped! When I first played this game, I got stuck on this exact part and couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until years later when I got the game on my Game Boy Advance SP did I eventually figure it out. It's such a strange puzzle honestly!

Haha it's awesome how things can line up so perfectly like that sometime! :)

It really is! I love this song so much!

Thank you! I've had a lot of play time on this game and Polar Pass is one of my favorite tracks!

Lol Crash you goof.

Yeah the AI can be silly somtimes xD

To be honest, I have no idea what I said in this, so hopefully it wasn't too bad xD

That's honestly so cool! I quite enjoy his videos and have watched him for quite a few years now! Also, I can't believe this video of mine is 9 years old!

​@@Poz159great too see you still active around here, hope you're doin great overall

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! It's been tough but really fun!

D&D inspired and spearheaded RPG's, so a reference to it wouldn't be surprising. Secret of Mana being a Japanese RPG, made in Japan obviously, there definitely seems to be connections there. That is really interesting, thank you so much for sharing! :)

Traveling by a cannon definitely has its charm, but flying on a dragon is definitely safer, hopefully

Thank you! He is definitely a toughie and very difficult to hit!

Thanks, will do!

Thank you! A no armour run of this game is really fun! This is being played on emulator, though I do own the snes cartridge of this game & the switch version of this game. At the time of recording I didn't own a capture card, but I do own one now so future playthroughs of games will be through console hardware and acapture card.

​@@Poz159 Thanks for that. Is it an emulation of the SNES original? It looks like it's a (slight) re-translation, along with a different font type.

While it is an emulation of the original game, I did use a patch I found at romhacking(.)net to add more game text that was taken out in vanilla SoM during translation in the 90's. Unfortunately, I don't remember what patch I used, though it was probably the Secret of Mana (EN) translation patch@@thelastsidewalk

@@thelastsidewalk I mostly used emulators only becuase I couldn't afford a capture card back then, but now that I have one I will definitely use it as much as I can. SoM is one of my absolute favorite games of all time! I played it with my sister back in the 90's, and it's a game that is near and dear to my heart. I love SoM's soundtrack so much; the game holds so much nostalgia for me, like when I would play it at night, in a basement, on an old CRT tv. Those memories I will treasure for my entire life. I appreciate chatting with you! SoM videos will be on Mondays and Wednesdays, with a different game on Saturdays, but I plan on having daily videos very soon.

@@Poz159 It sounds like Secret of Mana was a special part of your childhood. I can relate to that. For me, many good memories of playing with my brother in my younger years. And in the more recent years, too. The co-op play is just so much fun. And it still is fun. The gameplay just holds up so well. I totally get you when you mention the soundtrack. I think 'The Boy aims for Wild Fields' will stay with me. Emulation certainly allows you to do a bit more with the older games, but as you alluded to earlier, we certainly want to support the game companies wherever possible. It's great to run into your channel. I see you've been recording videos for a very long time. Really impressive stuff.

:)

That is so awesome! I love hearing stories like this! It's so heartwarming hearing about family bonding video games, especially with a game as special as Secret of Mana! Thank you so much for sharing! :)

That would be interesting! I wonder what would happen with mana and the world if such a thing happened?

Hahaha I like that one!

I may use them, depending on the location and if I have them available. They are definitely useful in a pinch!

Haha that's cool!

Thank you! I played this game quite a lot as a kid, though I could never actually beat the game. The later levels are brutal!

Thank you! I appreciate it so much! I did end up going on hiatus for a few years, but I'm slowly getting back to recording and hopefully streaming again soon. I appreciate your support! :D

@@Poz159 I'll keep an eye out and tune in when I can! I don't have a ton of time to watch stuff but if I see an interesting game or am around when you're streaming I'll try to drop by, always enjoyed your thoughts on games and the chill vibes of your vids

Oops! You are correct! I don't know how I mixed up the names haha, I changed it now.

At least your playing the easier SNES version on the PS4 remake the enemies here are actually lethal WITH the best armors equipped but on the PS4 remake the Pure lands enemies will still do 700+ damage without the Grand Palace armors and in the remake you can't actually spam attack magic making a no armors run in the remake even more impossible.
