Played just a bit of Secret of everymore, so cant say, but most ppl despise it while Mana has lots of lovers including me

Good things about mana:
-Long and eep storyline
-Great gameworld to explore
-Interesting characters (the protagonist is shallow, but still has some good moments:P)
-The best action battle system for action RPG (you upgrade your weapon, then fight with it til your character master the new level, which gives him a new special attack with it. To use special attacks you hold attack button til the bar fills to the point you want to, the release:P similar to Megaman

).
-great soundtrack
-Nice graphics
-2 player mode XD

Evermore had basically the same battle and level up system as Mana, but it just felt more natural to me. I've also yet to beat Evermore, though, but the sotryline so far was enough to keep me going. Nothing too great and epic, but a fun little story that you wanted to know.

Well the intro seemed funny, but I dunno if a funny story may keep me up for long... also, does it have a two player mode?

As for music it didnt catch me at first like Mana did... the graphics are detailed but the character design could be less cartoon and more anime

About system, mas play to see if it is same as mana, but hardly better, even compared to the sequals, Secret of mana got the best system

Man, looking back, I can't really play games like Secret of Evermore and Mana. They just didn't cut it for me. Practically the same time people had the RPG's they loved, like Chrono Trigger and FF6, I had Descent and Privateer, and you all know which one I liked better.

I could never do one thing for 11 years, and still find it fun. Unless, of course, like with my NES games, I didn't play it for a long time, then came back to it.

Seriously, I only came to enjoy games by 12 when I got Vice Project Doom, and it was just that until my friend introduce me to Megaman 3 and Turtles XD When I came to play Chrono Trigger and FF6 everyone was in the 32 bit era already and I still enjoyed my Snes for 2 years ahead XD

Heh, I was stuck in the 16-bit era untill about halfway through the 128 wars.

Indeed, I only got playstation after Dreamcast being released XD The joy of Wild Arms and FFTactics, but also the disappointment at FF7

I missed PlayStation, and I'll never count myself as being there for n64's time, because although I owned one, the only game I had was Mario Party 3 (The last good one)

RobotKnight Crystal · « **Reply #69 on:** July 25, 2005, 03:10:32 pm »

Missing playstation for me would be a sin, the only console with a better set of games for me is Snes

Again note that for me a good set of games is = a LOT of GOOD rpgs

And on Playstation only looses to Snes in quality, buit keeps up in quantity

Lazlo Falconi · « **Reply #70 on:** July 25, 2005, 03:11:51 pm »

Quality > Quantity

I enver got a console until I was 10, and when I had that, I had Descent, so yeah....... I'm WAY more a DOS guy than a console guy. Aslways have been, always will be. No matter what happens, DOS will remain at the top of my list.

Lazlo Falconi · « **Reply #72 on:** July 25, 2005, 03:13:22 pm »

I think the GameCube made it to top mine, but when the Revolution comes, we'll all see. Or not.

RobotKnight Crystal · « **Reply #73 on:** July 25, 2005, 03:15:05 pm »

Well for DOS I loved Alleycat and digger, but only silly amusement (though I still instist that you all should play Alleycat

) oh and Defender >D

But only consoles got me hooked though games with background storyline

And indeed Quality is better, hence why Snes is still better than PSX for me

Hardly for me Lazlo, I am truly disappointed at modern RPGs, and nom-RPGs are just time-killers or friendly amusement for me... the only recent games that I liked and yet not as much as oldies where GBA tittles...
