I never really got into Secret of Mana. Frankly, a lot of its soundtrack was annoying to me. But occasionally it would hit you with a real gem. Like this. And it just sticks with you.
The next time someone tries to tell you something like art and music isn't important, think of this.
this game had such a sad ending i wish more games had storylines like this one now there all lame and all about blood and gore(sad what a waste of a good talent
my older cousin is selling some games from the nintendo 64 and super nintendo and i saw this game lying there too. should i buy it? what is the game about in a nutshell? :)
@TWD2140 they want to make one but its not possible becouse nintendo owns the old SOM en sqairsoft is from Sony now and they both dont want to give the right's of it away so i am afraid it wil only be a dream that there ever wil come a remake of this wonderfull and in my opinion best game ever
Better that way maybe ... when I think about the many many many ... many shit remakes these days. Fallout > Fallout 3, UFO, and so on ... sometimes its better to let a nice game rest and move on.
square-enix really need to put the secret of mana soundtrackon itunes how come japan got the secret of mana soundtrack but not in the US i mean why just final fantasy soundtracks where sqaure-enix couldve put other great video game soundtracks on itunes like the chrono series,xenogears and parasite eve please square put those soundtracks on itune insted of final fantasy all the time the secret of mana soundtrack is too damn good not to be on itunes
@heerogunkenobi and also it wouldnt to also release the game boy original seiken densetsu I and the snes sequel seiken densetsu who agree that secret of mana soundtrack should be on itunes
no use comparing but Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III will forever reign as the greatest RPGs of that era (and perhaps of all time)
Pure feeling., Not many games evoke big emotions from me but this one did. Such epic music and cool characters. Great little RPG. Got in on cart for my snes. One of the best ever.
It's funny, I've never compared Chrono Trigger to Secret of Mana. Their styles are different so I've always considered both of them the peak of what games can reach.
Some people think chrono trigger is the best game of all time... that might be right... but "I" personaly think secret of mana is unreachable it is the most epic adventure. I had never seen anything like it before and it was by far the longest and most adventuring game ive ever plaid. The ending was so sad, yet so wonderful.
I live in germany and guess what? Chono Trigger never released in germany! It took me till my 20th year of age to even find out about chrono trigger and after i plaid the game with an emulator, i was realy pissed it never released. Seriously if CT would have been there at my childhood time, i would also be able to connect such great memories with it like i do with Secret Of Mana
@enterprise0709 No i havent i dont play final fantasy and this part never released in europe. But i know the story... i think kefka is forgotten for no good reason he absolutely owns sephiroth in many levels and is actualy the most insane and most dangerous villian ive ever seen. So many TRIED to destroy the world... he DID it!
@NeroTheDarklord Its actually known as the best RPG. The best game of all time is widely believed (including myself) to be Ocarina of Time. Though Secret of Mana definitly holds a special place in my heart..
@mirrorpiece *tear* Hey man, This game Has been out of thought for so many for so long, It has gained legend status. Impossible to find*unless your like me, who enjoys emulator play* The sound track isn't even sold online anymore((I can't find it)) And above all else, Has some of the best dialogue and Music Of anything that Sqi Nix (Square Enix) Has ever come up with to date. I still believe in my heart of Hearts That Secret of Mana Will forever be the worlds Greatest Memory*Raises Fist* FTW SOM
@NeroTheDarklord you douches have to stop comparing chrono trigger and SoM just because the charecters look similar. they're totally different games with totally different battle styles.
@NeroTheDarklord I know I'm responding to a year-old post, but I wanna say, regardless of what anyone else thinks, this game and Chrono Trigger are the two best games to ever come out of the SNES, On par with each other with different strengths and different weaknesses, and many close runners up on the system. I won't say they are the two best games to ever be released, but they are reeeeaaaally high up on that list, to say the least.
@EASasayaki Agreed aswell. And as for how high they are on the list.. it's all debatable stuff. but that's just the truth. personally. Chrono Trigger and Secret of mana.. Are just my favorite games.
@EASasayaki While I am not disagreeing, if you haven't tried Terranigma you really need too. Equally as stunning as both games you mentioned and it has real heart moving moments.
@volkte37 I have tried it, I loved the story, despite how it ended, and I'd say it's definitly third on my list for best SNES games, though that's just my list, haha.
@EASasayaki Glad you have played it. I have yet to complete it as I keep getting inturrupted by stuff. Playing it on ROM via PSP but I am close to sourcing a copy for my SNES and will start again and finally finish it. :)
in my oppion both games are great and both bring me tears (i`ve really cried when chrono resuced your team)
but secret of mana got one of the best endings ever ( i dont say the best because there are some also great as it but its number 1 with some other number 1s ;) ) seeing spirit alone in his village ..... who hasnt cry ?
At a young age, I didn't quite understand why being banned would be such a big deal. Now I realize, that Potos banned hope instead of a pest, and leaving a home is like losing a loved one. -Sigh-

I did not know Chrono Trigger had not been sold in Germany.
Sales of a Chrono Trigger are more abundant in Japan.
聖剣伝説2(Seiken Densetsu 2) is about 1.45 million though sales of the chrono trigger exceed two million.
However, I like Seiken Densetsu 2(Secret of Mana) more.
I think that the music of this game is extremely good.
