![]() Seiken Densetsu 3 was the title that started solidifying the franchise's lore, aesthetic, and setting - so it makes sense its remake would follow suit in this regard… but the chibi graphics which defined the first two remakes have been thrown out of the door. Where SoM was more or less Frankenstein'd together with AoM's assets, this has been built from the ground up to stand apart from its predecessors, both aesthetically and mechanically. Thankfully, it seems Square Enix has learned its lesson, giving the Mana franchise a level of respect it hasn't seen in years. All this to say: while there was natural excitement for Trials of Mana, this remake very easily could have disappointed on all fronts. Unfortunately, while AoM was a surprisingly competent remake which kept the spirit of Final Fantasy Adventure alive, Secret of Mana failed to translate the charm of its SNES counterpart, resulting in a pathetically inadequate remake. With the release of Adventures of Mana in 2016, the Seiken Densetsu franchise more or less rebooted itself - a sentiment which would be further amplified by 2018's Secret of Mana remake. Best of all, this "new" Trials of Mana marks a stark return to form for the World of Mana. As exciting as the RPG's long awaited international release was, it was Square Enix's announcement of a full blown remake that revitalized interest in the series. Although the Super Famicom RPG would still be able to establish a legacy for itself courtesy of one of the earliest high quality fan translations, it wouldn't be until 2019's release of Collection of Mana, where it would come overseas, now re-titled Trials of Mana. While the West did get three of the strongest action RPGs in SquareSoft's catalogue, there was one notable omission which remained a Japan exclusive - Seiken Densetsu 3. One could even argue Mana was to action-RPGs what Final Fantasy was to turn-based ones, at least in regards to Square's gameography. I'll be updating my findings, as well as the two missing location screenshots, in the coming days and weeks.Between Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, and Legend of Mana, the Seiken Densetsu franchise managed to establish a rather strong reputation for itself, both in Japan and internationally. However, I stand by my experience of obtaining three times more ? Seeds there than the other standard Benevodon dungeons, and recommend it be your first dungeon to tackle.Īre you enjoying the Trials of Mana remake? Sound off in the comments below, and let us know which monsters you've found are the best source of ? Seed drops. I'll have to test which enemies drop them in the Fiery Gorge, as I was unable to pinpoint the exact enemies that dropped them. I ran through each dungeon twice, to try to determine enemy drops with little success. While some enemies in all of these dungeons have a chance to drop ? Seeds, I got far more drops in the Fiery Gorge than the others before going for that eighth Benevodon. In my first playthrough's worth of experience (this section may change), the best place to farm ? Seeds early in your Benevodon hunt is the Fiery Gorge. It's fairly easy to find, hence no picture. This isn't a dungeon, but there is one ? Seed found in a chest in Ancient City Pedda, which is tied to the story. This area has no map, but the location of the chest in question can be seen above. (Note: I forgot to take screenshots of two ? Seed chests on my first playthrough, the shots will be added in the coming days during my second.) ? Seed Chest Locations Shimmering Ruins ? Seed Location There is one area where I received much higher ? Seed drops than the others, so I'll go into where to farm them after we look at the exact locations for the chests in the first seven Benevodon dungeons. I know on my first playthrough, I received three of one of Angela's class items, and I didn't even want that one. The caveat here is you can get duplicate class change items from seeds, so you won't necessarily go through all eight Benevodon dungeons and get the items you need for the exact classes you want. In the Trials of Mana remake, you get one guaranteed ? Seed per Benevodon dungeon and certain enemies do still drop them. These generally had a low drop chance, and there were no indicators as to which enemies dropped them. ![]() ![]() In the original game, you had to farm a fair amount of enemies for a chance to receive ? Seeds. This means acquiring ? Seeds, which you can plant and receive a random class change item for one of your party members.Ĭhanging your class again opens up at Level 38, but you can't actually start getting ? Seeds until you start on your task to take out the Benevodons. Ok, with that out of the way, we can talk about when you can really start working towards your third classes (meaning your second class change). But before we get into that: Be aware that this guide contains spoilers! Continue at your own risk!
