The Mana series, also known as "Seiken Densetsu" in Japan, has been a beloved staple in the JRPG genre since its inception with "Final Fantasy Adventure" in 1991. The series is well-known for its beautiful 2D graphics, compelling storylines, and unique real-time battle system. The last mainline release in the franchise was "Dawn of Mana" in 2006, making "Visions of Mana" the first new addition to the series in over 15 years. Given the long hiatus and the introduction of new gameplay mechanics, fans are eagerly awaiting this latest entry to see how it reimagines the classic Mana formula for the modern era.
