That's effing awesome! I have played the original countless times on my old SNES. Maybe I should replay if before the remake is released.

Quite an interesting choice for a remake, and now the heroes will have voices for the first time ever.

Whoa! Seriously?! I literally JUST got this game off the Wii Virtual Console via the Wii U mere days ago! Still, this is awesome! I actually have Steam and my computer's finally able to play 3D games without lagging or slowness, so I'm getting it the day it comes out!

Oh, I just realized something! I remember reading that Secret of Mana was originally going to be made for the SNES CD add-on, but when that deal fell through, Square was forced to cut 40% of the game's story out in order to fit it into the SNES cartridge. Since the PS4 and Vita have MUCH more space and capabilities, I wonder if Square will use this opportunity to tell the 40% of the story that they weren't able to tell way back when? This could be massively awesome!

I have the original game to tide me over until the remake comes out, so I can play the rest of that in the mean time. I do think Randi's voice is a bit too low pitched, but maybe it'll grow on me when I play the remake. Also, PLEASE ADD AN OVERWORLD MAP AND MORE CLEAR DIRECTIONS ON HOW THE PLOT PROGRESSES!

I'm stoked for the remake of one of my all time favorite games, but that art style just looks terrible.

Really? I think it looks pretty good. I've seen far, FAR worse.

Sounds awful. I prefer the 2D graphics not a new version with butchered 3D graphics. I just remember that terrible Mana game on the PS2....

It looks like a smart phone game that's been upscaled. Doesn't even look close to being worth $40, they're out of their minds. I'll wait for it to come down to $20. I have an SNES cart and a working SNES so I don't really need this.

I don't know how I feel about this. The original is a classic that will never be forgotten. I just hope there's an option to change voices to Japanese.
