Don't own it at the moment...did when I was younger but that's another lost game(idk why). Honestly this version is a lot of fun anyways...especially since statuses in most cases seem to go away on their own anyways too in this version(discovered that on accident somehow)

I was under the impression most people prefer the original version anyway.

In the FFA case, yeah the original is better but both versions are worth playing.

With most RPGs I try to play the original version instead of (or before) any remakes or ports. Of course this isn't possible in many cases, especially if the original is a PC-88 exclusive or whatnot.

I'd argue that Sword of Mana is different enough from the original to consider it a distinct game. Sort of like how Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals is a remake of the story of Lufia 2.

I say the same about Ys I & II which is why I've played the games on Sega Master System, Famicom, TurboGrafx CD, Saturn, PlayStation 2, DS, PSP, and PC...

See and I don't remember how far I got in the remake but the beginning from what I recall was similar enough to this one(and that's about all I remember). The only major nusicance I have found in this original version so far is how items are selected and used...it feels a little backwards to other systems for using/moving/trashing items.... Though shadow zeros in this version are a pain in the butt and I can never seem to keep my inventory cleaned up enough for some eyedrps....

Play Secret of Mana after you finish FFA. It's an infinitely better game.

Beat Azure Dreams finally (first time ever). I really love Pokemon and rogue games, so a game with both was a surefire love of mine.

Next up is Chrono Trigger New Game+. It's just such a fantastic game, slowly working my way to maxing everyone's stats out. I wish there was a legit way to max out SKILL in the game.
Huge RPG fan.
