Moved into the proper forum.

I really enjoyed Legend of Mana, it was a different type of game, especially since I was coming off of Secret of Mana for it but I really enjoy the customization and crafting aspect of the game. It lacks a strong overall narrative but instead focuses on several really well written smaller stories involving the side characters. The Jumi Tribe quest is probably my favorite of the quests. This is also the game that introduces the diary writing cactus that shows up in the World of Mana titles. The art style and music are exceptional for this game and I frankly don't feel like it got enough love.

Co-op isn't as good as Secret of Mana, but since I don't really care about that stuff, it wasn't really a big deal; though a friend an I using our endgame characters to thrash the final boss in Nightmare Mode was pretty amusing though the novelty wears off quickly.
