So last night I decided to replay Secret of Mana for the first time in years. I always hated the game, and thought it very over rated. A thread bye Loony BoB made me think that maybe I judged it a little to harshly and so after a 20 year hiatus I plugged it in.

I have never beat the game due to a lack of interest in it, but I now have found what I hated on the game. Knowing what I hate about it allowed me to look at it a little differently.

The he thing I hate about the game is... The main character. The boy who pulled the sword. The "Secret of Mana" as it were. Yes I hate him! He would work a lot better a silent protagonist. Every time he opens his mouth to talk I just ignore it and the game works a lot better. I am enjoying it more bye ignoring what he says and enjoying the story without him as anything more then a silent protagonist.

There are other little things, but translation and what not isn't a big deal.

What at are your thoughts on it?
