The publisher is taking yet another approach with Legend of Mana: the original 1999 PSX. What I see in the Legend of Mana remaster is that everything looks the same as it did originally, only sharper, brighter, and retains the heart and spirit of what was originally intended. Secret of Mana was a remake of the 1993 original that retained its old topdown view while introduci. Not to mention textures and backgrounds got all kinds of wonky. The original Final Fantasy VI (3 on SNES) sprites still hold up quite well, for example, however when Square gave the game an HD upgrade, they replaced all of the pixel sprites with flat, cartoonish ones that looked not only out of place but lost all character.

The storyline is still fun nowadays, and the completely different approach to the game brings a breath of fresh air to the genre. The developers have invested a lot of effort and love here. And updating them can also detract from them significantly. The storyline is Fans will love the remake of Legend of Mana on console and PC. I know they're not for everyone, but to me they will always be a favorite. And unlike a lot of bulky or blocky early 3D games, pixelated sprites have a way of standing the test of time and retaining their charm. It's like saying hello to an old friend that you haven't seen in years. They're comforting, especially during these trying times. I grew up on pixel sprites and seeing them always brings back waves of nostalgia.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I kind of actually love that they kept the pixelated sprites. The Legend of Mana remaster include better graphics and a rearranged soundtrack, which you can swap out for the original score if you prefer.
