Dawn of Mana sucks.

[Larahl]

Well, I played the game, it really is a disappointment.
It's not even and Action RPG, it's a Fantasy Action Adventure game with RPG elements.

The camera angle is worse than the one in the first Kingdom Hearts, and there's no towns or world exploration, losing items at the start or the mission is freaking annoying and
Bad physical reaction to hits (sends character flying back for too long)

BUT, there's some good sides to the game,
The graphics and really good, very beautiful environments and characters, the soundtrack is one of the best, throwing Rabites is super fun and the plot is nice and charming.

The game had so much potential, I'm so angry that it turned to be such a disappointment.
So angry...

I was going to buy it, but you have deterred me! Well done!

So I guess it was nothing like SD3(beatitinanhourortwoandlovedit)?

Do explain how one can beat Seiken Densetsu 3 in an hour.

Yeah, I'm curious. I ARed my way through half the game once to not be bothered by the fights and just enjoy the story, and it certainly took much longer than two hours. I'm not even sure I had the full party by that time.
