I don't think the lack of character graphics affect my opinion of the game, its a great game regardless of them. I just find block-hand man somewhat annoying. The scenery is gorgeous.

Agreed on the character graphics part - especially Barrett in the sailor's uniform, the "bear stuck in a marshmallow." But I don't think that's enough to warrant a remake.
Just being devil's advocate here, but isn't Sword of Mana a remake of a game that's still playable on a current console?Quote:

True, but it's pretty hard to find a Gameboy and the original cart for Final Fantasy Adventure any more.
Was it rereleased? I see used copies at EB Games all the time.
Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu), on the Gameboy, was rereleased as Sword of Mana on the GBA.
I know, I have that game. I was talking about Final Fantasy Adventure for normal old Game Boy. Used ones are not hard to find around here, and I was wondering if it was rereleased at some point. :) What was the topic of this thread again?
A bunch of folks hoping that their favorite game will get remade with pretty shiny graphics.
Eh, I'm not too fussed. If it comes out again, hey I may as well buy it, but if it doesn't, I don't care. I'm happy playing the original.
Is it? All I remember is Square saying they wouldnt... and it's better graphics, right? But not like... SUPER graphics like the difference between VII and X.Quote:

Heh, go ask Square, not me. :D
Hudson Soft re-released FFL1-3 and FFA I think. This was sometime around the release of the GBC, so I guess maybe about 1998/99 or so?
Anyhoo, the graphical update from SD/FFA to Sword of Mana is pretty drastic. The amount of colors is increased from shades of grey to 16-bit color (it might be better, I never remember specs). To some the point might be moot since it's still sprite based, but I remember when just having COLOR in portable games was a huge deal.
Yeah, its not that much work though, not an entire graphical remake with voice acting and FMVs and all that.Quote:

A remake is a bad idea. ^_^
ESPECIALLY with VA's.
*bangs head into desk*
Okay, go play through FFA, then play through SoM, now tell me it's not a huge update.
Sorry, that was rude...
I've seen it. I went and looked. Compartively, it's a huge update. Comparitively. But with the tech today it's easy to make those sorts of graphics. It isnt as time consuming as making a game with graphics like X, do you get what I mean?Quote:
