Who are you starting with?
Trials of Mana/Mana series
Does anybody knows/remembers what team of classes were OP in the original game ? And if they will still be in the remake ?
Goremand x Charlotte doujins... please.
fpbp
Best team
Honestly I should probably play Hawkeye first since I never messed with him.
The game is totally different so I wouldn't bet on anything before it comes out.
Dark Hawkeye was good with his Jutsus, you could multi-target them to hit all enemies with elemental damage and they did stat debuffs too.
Dark Duran could buff the team with his Elemental Sabers and got the most of them (Holy Saber is Light only though).
Kevin in general was busted because the calculation for his transformed melee damage was totally fucked up so it didn't matter if you went light (for healing) or dark (for more damage), he was still the best character. Definitely getting nerfed in the remake.
If you're playing Kevin/Charlotte's story, Charlotte could do max damage to all the enemies in their final dungeon. Otherwise she prevents you from dying since she can heal regardless of going Light/Dark.
Angela was really good either way if you were willing to sit through the animations, whether you went Dark for the T3 spells/Ancient or Light for Doublecast.
Riesz can buff/debuff stats depending on whether you go Light/Dark and gets summons.
Riesz/Eliiot doujins, please.
And some Belladonna too
In the original, the best classes for everyone was
Duran - Paladin or Duelist
Angela - Grand Divina or Rune Master
Kevin - Anything, he's going to hit 999 damage effortlessly
Charlotte - Bishop or Necromancer
Hawkeye - Nightblade
Riesz - Star Lancer
Probably Kevin, he seems like a lot of fun. Don't know if I want to take Charlotte with me for canon's sake, or try someone else.
I chose Hawkeye, Angela, and Duran
Never played the original game but I will say it was cozy/10. Voice acting was kinda cringe but I'll probably just turn on japanese for it
Did anybody else run into this issue? I choose Hawkeye as my main and Angela/Duran as my secondaries however Duran didn't join my party during the demo...
Anyone has decent res pics of all the revealed 4th tier costumes so far?
Nvm, found them myself.
Since you missed all of the threads for the past 3-4 days, except for Charlotte, the third party member doesn't join until AFTER the demo ends.
Also, you should have made either Angela or Duran your main to get their full story.
Unless you pick Charlotte as your third character, the last party member doesn't join until immediately after the demo. I get it felt like a good time to stop the demo there since it's already kind of long and if you add the third character's prologue it'd be even longer, but it's still kind of awkward to pick a team and not get all of them, especially when they join so soon afterwards. If they extended it a little until after you get on the boat escaping Jadd then you could start the game in a good spot when it comes out and you transfer over your save.
Reminder that Charlotte can be a Necromancer and summon zombies
But user, necromancers are bad guys.
Imagine the rape. Then he attempt to eat her soul but is unable because he came too much inside her.
People kept saying that Hawkeye is one of the stongest melee characters but why is his damage so terrible? Duran completely kicks his ass in damage in the demo.
Is it a serviable arpg or should i get ff7 remake instead
Chwalotte is a baw giwl. She weed to be pwunished by Weath pweepwee.
Just get both if you're not fucking poor.
Reisz x Angela doujins when ?
Get ff7 next year on pc instead so you can nude mod Marlene.
I always thought the dancing merchants in the original SD3 were oriental women wearing faceveils. Seeing them reimagined as (admittedly pretty swaggy) old bearded dudes was a little weird.
Take any and all advice you get about team comps relating to the demo with a grain of salt because they're based on the snes version. Only thing that matter is which pair gives what ending at this point.
>which pair gives what ending at this point.
The PAIRS have nothing to do with endings. Only the MC does.
I played through the Demo on hard and it was still crazy easy, does anyone have any idea if the difficulty increases later on or are we all in the dark right now?
How the fuck would we know?
That's what I mean by pairs genius. Or should I have said which pair of characters lead to what ending?
Hawkeye, Riesz, and Charlotte
Kevin as my main, with Duran and Hawkeye.
Gonna make it a bro adventure.
Angela, Hawkeye, Riesz
On which system are you guys planning to buy it for? Im thinking of getting it a physical copy on switch and either buying a heavily discounted copy on steam or just pirating it on pc.
Isn't he saying that only the main character matters?
PS4
>Consolefaggots are pirate scums
Riesz, Hawk, Angela
Left to right.
is Kevin's werewolf form sexy
why the FUCK isnt' SoM remake on switch but ToM will be?
>play Riesz last night on the demo
>her story is literally retarded and nothing any of the characters does makes any logical sense, shit just happens and then everyones all surprisedpikachu.jpg
Was it always this stupid, or did they fuck it up on the remake? I never got around to playing the original.
Not at all.
Her prologue was always kinda dumb, it's just more noticeable with the new script and cut scene direction
No Riesz is just that dumb.
Why do you think Japan loves her?
Riesz was always a dumb slut who fucks her own brother.
this but ironically and Hawkeye as my main
I haven't played her intro in the remake yet but apparently they tried to change some minor things to at least attempt to have it make sense (the ninjas grabbing her brother so she doesn't notice or such) but the general story is exactly the same.
Just to rub it in, the flowers that put everyone to sleep instantly only work once in your entire life, you're immune after you get exposed. Too bad the entire military of the kingdom that's right next to those flowers was never exposed to it, huh?
Angela/Duran, Kevin/Charlotte and Lise/Hawk give the same ending. That's what it means by pairs.
That's only in the doujins.
Don't forget if you put Riesz as your mc and don't have Hawkeye in your party, he will sexually assault you.
Anyone else feel like Duran's prologue is a bit lackluster compared to the other characters?
>Angela
her own mother tried to kill her because she considered her a failure
>Hawkeye
framed for the murder of his best friend and his girlfriend is cursed
>Riesz
her kingdom was invaded, her father murdered and her brother kidnapped
>Kevin
forced to kill his only friend, then learned his father basically ordered it to happen
>Charlotte
her best friend (love interest?) is kidnapped
Meanwhile,
>Duran
"A wizard kicked my ass once and now I voluntarily leave my still intact and safe(ish) home where my sister and aunt are alive and well because I must get STRONK!"
I still like Duran and his playstyle but I always thought it was weird this guy gets to be the pseudo-canon main protagonist of this game when he, compared to the other characters, gets away relatively traumafree.
It's cuter than it is sexy and that goes for all the wolfmen. In their human forms, though, good God I wanna fuck the king so much.
Riesz just has to be in the party.
The Crimson Wizard murdered everyone else while Duran was knocked out.
To be fair, he was humiliated by the wizard who could have easily wiped out his entire king and country.
Wait, is Duran like a pun on Durandal?
Well, I'll try another character on the PS4 version. Maybe it won't be as bad. I wanted to see graphical differences between PS4 and Switch anyway.
I am interested in the remake, but should I play the original first? I honestly have never played a Mana game before, so I was interested in the Collection to begin with, but still... for some bizarre reason, I am willing to play the Remake of Trials without playing the first game, but not the original Trials without playing the original and Secret first.
I reached the point where I'm asked to go stop the Benevodons in the original, is there a preferred order for them and their areas or are they all roughly equivalent? I went to the water Mana Stone first since it was closest but one of the enemies inside deals a really high amount of damage and party-wiped me with a single skill. It's just a couple levels above my party too.
>Finally found you dumb brother
>lol bye gonna ditch you with these two enemy spies
You can do them in any order with the exception of Dark who has to be fought last.
Pc>>>ps4>>>>>>switch graphicwise.
Kevin, loved his transformation at night.
Yeah, I understand that there was a lot of blood shed during that event, but I still feel like the story frames it in a way that makes it seem like collateral damage rather than something we are actively supposed to be sad about. If we had known some of those soldiers were friends of Duran's and given names it could have been spun in a "i couldn't protect my friends because I was weak, therefore I must get strong". But as it is now, the story focuses on Duran going "hurr durr must be STRONG because muh HONOR" rather than "I want to save/avenge someone I cared for". Angela has something similar going on but I think her backstory does a greater job emphasizing how distant her mother was and that she saw Angela as nothing but a useless tool with only ONE redeeming quality in the form of DYING disregarding the whole brainwashing/mindcontrol thing. I also don't really enjoy the whole "I must leave my hometown and NOT come back ever until X happens because muh strength as a person and muh honor", seeing as Kevin, Hawkeye, Riesz and Angela had no choice but to flee their homes or they'd be killed on sight (Charlotte's case is more like "uwu if I get back my gwandpa wiww scowd me and then gwound me >.
It really doesn't matter. The game was made for Switch in mind. If it was for PC/PS4 only the environment wouldn't look so empty.
Quality is higher on both others.
Kevin but Charlotte is the third character
I think the only suggestion is to do the Moon one later on. Other than that, don't use magic / techs stronger than Level 1 against random encounters because they're going to counter you and nuke your party.
There is an alarming lack of pics in this thread. Is this seiken densetsu 3 goes down? What's up with this sex goddess. Why doesn't Japan like her?
The three males, all dark classes. Fuck healing, fuck magic, fuck buffs, smash everything with your unga bunga strength. Control Duran and set Kevin/Hawkeye to only use level 1 techs.
duran/angela/kevin
pretty basic but i like the team synergy
but you can play switch on the go
I think I'll go back to my very first SD3 party:
>Kevin L/D for group healing
>Riesz D/D for mass debuffing
>Angela L/L for nukes
I've learned from the SNES version that I love to have Angela along. No one else is decided yet.
There's just something about oneshotting an entire screen worth of enemies as soon as I enter the room that I can't get over.
That's really your call.
