    I don't have a favorite game from Mana series (played SoM and SD3) but i liked FFA because it is simple ARPG. I played SoM and really didn't like it because of the weapon recovery percentage, Its basically 1 full hit every 3 or 4 seconds which is really slow for an old school ARPG. And finally SD3 has a Magic system with the screen freezing which makes it feels more like a regular JRPG.

    IMO, FFA is the best Mana game .

    :rabite: Secret of Mana
    :rabite: Sword all the way.
    :rabite: Lise
    :rabite: Lumina for DAT LUCENT BEAM
    :rabite: I used the game genie and cannon travel would cause the game to lock up. :aimcry:
    :rabite: No, Children and Dawn of Mana looked kinda terrible so I've avoided them. The original Seiken Densetsu/Final Fantasy Adventure is one of my favourite games. Used to play that on my Game Boy Pocket every single day...partially because I couldn't figure out the figure eight puzzle in the desert so I'd just grind like crazy until I got bored. Glass Desert music is SO AWESOME. I remember the ice dungeon being super fun too! The GBA remake kinda sucked. The simplicity of the original is part of its charm.

    :rabite: My favorite was Secret of Mana. I feel like they got the formula right and could have simply presented a similar game with revisions much like how the Dragon Quest series developed.
    :rabite: I liked the Glove.
    :rabite: I liked Purim.
    :rabite: My favorite elemental spirit was Luna.
    :rabite: I think they could have found a different method of transportation. It certainly has... character.
    :rabite: No. I don't like Seiken Densetsu 3 due to its non-linearity.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    SD3 is pretty linear, until you get to the "kill the mana beasts" part.

    :rabite: So which entry was your favorite? SD3, though Secret of Mana is a close second.
    :rabite: What about your favorite weapon? I like swords! Also the whip is pretty cool, as is the axe.
    :rabite: Character? Hawkeye, Lise, or Popoie (sprite).
    :rabite: Mana Spirit? Probably Luna, Wisp, or Dryad
    :rabite: Anyone else think that being shot out of a cannon is a cool way to travel? Of course. I sometimes find myself wishing it would work in real life
    :rabite: Have you played them all? Only Secret of Mana and SD3. I should get onto some of the others, :rabite:learly.

    Also the soundtracks are indeed smurfing amazing.

    Oh yeah, I forgot. I've only really played SD3. I started on Legend of Mana and Secret of Mana, but they didn't suck me in the same way that SD3 did.

    Character and weapon? I like Lise and her spears.
    Mana spirit? Undine, although a Luna is fine too.
    Cannons are way cool, but Flammie is way cooler, and the music is awesome too.
    I haven't played them all, but I have at least started most of them, even if I didn't finish most of them.
