![]() Nor do the characters themselves seem to offer any new emotional depths or twists - Charlotte's ability as a healer can be beneficial for parties, but her child-like observations and attitudes aren't exactly the stuff of epics. Citizens suffering from an invasion might comment on their current situation, but don't have anything resembling the emotional impact found during the aftermath of Final Fantasy VII's first reactor bombing, for example. The townsfolk might occasionally grant new chain abilities or be checkmarks on a list to progress the plot, but otherwise don't add a lot of insight or depth to the story.

Players who hoped to see the story about seeking the legendary Sword of Mana to be given more depth and development will be disappointed. ![]() Spells and attacks are almost seamless in the game's fast-paced combat, which is good as player will find themselves engaged in combat for much of the game. If the need arises to issue a direct command (like telling Charlotte to use offensive magic instead of focusing entirely on healing) combat pauses as the player inputs commands and resumes once the order is issued. Computer-controlled characters act competently for the most part, abiding by the strategy outlined by the player's input. These commands are nowhere as intricate as, say, Final Fantasy XII's renowned Gambit system, but they don't need to be. How they act can be influenced on the strategy menu, with customization allowing a player to dictate thresholds of MP and item consumption that they deem acceptable, whether a member should focus entire on offense, defense or mix it up with a leaning to either end, and which enemies to target. ![]() The player assumes direct control of one of the three heroes they choose from the start, with the other two heroes controlled by the A.I. To unlock it, go inside Duran’s house, which is located north of the Inn in Valsena, and talk to the lady there. Those who played the Secret of Mana remake released in 2018 will be relieved to know that combat has been drastically improved in terms of fluidity and tactical choices, even beyond the improvements that Seiken Densetsu 3 offered. This ability enhances the potency of healing items by 10. ![]()
