An English website has popped up for Adventures of Mana, the upcoming Final Fantasy Adventure remake that was previously announced for Japan. There’s no official announcement yet, but the English screenshots pretty much confirm that the game’s coming to the West.
Although the Japanese version of Adventures of Mana is planned for iOS, Android and Vita, some tipsters have pointed out that the English website ditched the PlayStation logo, implying that the Western version will stick to mobile platforms only.
As you may remember, Final Fantasy Adventure came out for the Game Boy in 1991. The US branch of Squaresoft slapped it with the “Final Fantasy” title in hopes of improving sales, but as Western gamers would later discover, this was actually Seiken Densetsu, a predecessor to the Super Nintendo action-RPG Secret of Mana.
In 2003, Square released Sword of Mana, a GBA remake that maintained the spirit of Final Fantasy Adventure but overhauled the entire story, world and mechanics. Adventures of Mana will stick far closer to the original game.

I never played FFA, but I’m looking forward to it. Hopefully if it sells well we’ll see Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 get re-released as well. Graphically they’ve aged pretty well, but they could still benefit from an upgrade.
It’d be pretty amazing if Seiken Densetsu 3 finally got released in English. IMO it was the best of the series.
Yeah SD3 was awesome, but never made it out of Japan officially because they weren’t happy with the quality, if you can believe that.
I’ve actually got a fan translated English cartridge of it. Damn near creamed my pants when I found it on ebay.
Secret of Evermore HD Remake anyone?
That one was made by the American branch of SE, so I don’t see that happening 🙁
It was Jeremy Soule, of Elder Scrolls game, first soundtrack.
Sew güd
Let a man dream! Yes it was the only game released by NA Squaresoft but if you were only ever going to release one game Secret of Evermore is something to be proud of.
Personally I think it trumps Secret of Mana 1/2 and is therefore worthy of a remake.
I never actually finished either /o\
But I loved them both dearly.
Never played SoM2. Was that on PSX?
Only mobile & no vita makes jimu…something something
