(The World of) Mana series (or simply Mana), alternatively-known as Seiken Densetsu (Legend of the Holy Sword) in Japan, is a series of (mostly) Fantasy Action RPGs developed and published by Square Enix.It began as a spinoff in the tree-choppingly popular Final Fantasy series: The first game was a passion project by Koichi Ishii, but Square weren't interested in a new IP, so he finally got it greenlit as Final Fantasy Adventure. (It was literally titled Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden in Japan.) Likewise, the second game was originally going to be Final Fantasy IV, and then Chrono Trigger, then finally became a sequel to Adventure mid-development. The real Chrono Trigger ended up recycling ideas that Ishii and co. left on the cutting-room floor.The games tenuously share a setting and usually center on the oft-threatened Mana Tree, which is the source of all magic in the world, and the mythical Mana Sword. Mana is played in real time, much like a Zelda game but with HP instead of hearts and AI-controlled teammates (when not controlled via multiplayer co-op). There are no battle screens or fight transitions, but other trappings of the JRPG genre are clearly present. Entries in the series include: | |

Childhood Friend Romance: Dawn of Mana: Ritzia, who gets kidnapped, used to unleash disaster on the world, and becomes the next Mana Goddess. Legend of Mana: Matilda, Irwin, Escad, and Dana, the Love Dodecahedron that ends tragically for all involved. Secret of Mana: Dyluck, who gets brainwashed by the bad guys and sacrifices himself to save the Girl. Final Fantasy Adventure: Hasim, who dies trying to protect the heroine (too bad she can't use her unlimited healing ability to save his life). | |

| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Charging your attack as of Secret of Mana onward. In Trials of Mana, the attack charging is changed from holding down a button to filling up the meter by hitting the enemy with melee strikes. (As far as pure DPS goes, though, it's still much more practical to just use the first level charge.) In the remake, charge attacks exist separately from these moves (now called "Class Strikes" and far less impractical), but the charging is really only useful for knocking away barriers from guarded monsters. In Legend of Mana, some charged attacks do become worth the effort, as it's the only way to inflict high damage on the harder difficulty levels. | |

Keldy and Ritzia sneak into the ruins that they're not supposed to enter, and Keldy kills the Giant Enemy Crab guarding the area when it tries to attack Ritzia... and then Ritzia gets possessed by the spirit of an evil sorceress, who wants to unleash the Echoes of Malvolia onto Illusia. Oops. | |

RandomlyDrops | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_355215ef | comment |
Randomly Drops: Several of the orbs necessary to power up the weapons on Secret of Mana can only be obtained by random drops from certain enemies in the final area. The items necessary to upgrade character classes in Trials of Mana are similarly tricky to get. Meanwhile, in Legend of Mana, you can have a pet that, if you're synchronized with it, guarantees an enemy killed will drop something, but what gets dropped is still randomly determined. | |

Doomed Hometown: In Dawn of Mana, the Hidden Elf Village where Keldy is raised gets invaded; the Girl from Secret of Mana hails from one of these as well, and in Trials of Mana all six protagonists hometowns get invaded/taken over by bad guys at one point or another (the order thereof depending on who you picked to be your team of three). | |

Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: Bushes, rocks, or even just mildly rough terrain can prove impassable; in Trials of Mana, the entrance to the dwarf cave is blocked by an insurmountable optical illusion that cannot be bypassed unless you talk to an NPC and then use the Lumina elemental to remove said illusion. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Despite the often colorful and upbeat artstyle, most Mana games do not end happily: Secret of Mana ends with Dyluck sacrificing himself and the Mana Tree dying. Two of the three arcs leading to the endgame in Legend of Mana also end this way. Final Fantasy Adventure also ends this way: All of the hero's friends have been killed (with the exception of Lester, who the hero leaves behind in Jadd to mourn his dead sister... who the hero had to kill when she turned into a monster), and the girl he worked so hard to protect is giving up her existence to become the new Mana Tree. And if you consider Secret of Mana to be the chronological sequel to Final Fantasy Adventure, she ends up dying anyway when Thanatos destroys the Tree with the Mana Fortress. | |

Charged Attack | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: Characters in Secret of Mana can charge their weapons up to their skill level with the weapon. Unfortunately, charging, especially to higher levels, takes a while, and also slows down your movement significantly, for an inconsiderable increase in damage. Some weapons inflicted additional Status Effects when charged, making this useful in limited situations. Much more useful in Final Fantasy Adventure, where you could level up how quickly the meter would charge, and could reasonably spam them in the final battle. In Trials of Mana and Legend of Mana, the charge meter builds by successful attacks, and in Legend certain NPCs have synchronization effects that can help build said meter faster. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: So many times in Final Fantasy Adventure that it gets to be like a punch in the gut. Averted in the remake, which leaves some grumbling. Although over half the cast of Sword of Mana still ends up dead. The player character in Legend of Mana turns himself/herself into stone weeping for the Jumi, thus bringing them Back from the Dead; don't worry, Deus ex machina happens and they get better. In Secret of Mana, the Sprite so much as taking part in the final battle is this. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Good luck figuring out how to trigger some of the subquests in Legend of Mana or how to master Item Crafting. Knowing which enemies to farm for the third job class unlocking item or the best weapons/armor in Trials of Mana is also a massive pain in the butt even with a guide. Unlocking secrets in Dawn of Mana can be stumbled upon by accident if you explore every inch of the stage, but still just about impossible without a guide. | |

Video Game Remake: Final Fantasy Adventure was upgraded into Sword of Mana, bringing it more in line with the rest of the series, ditching the carryover Final Fantasy influences for more familiar Mana references. (Chocobos replaced with cannon travel, for instance.) Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana have both been remade with 3D graphics. | |

Honest John's Dealership: Neko/Niccolo (who share the same name in Japanese versions, Nikita, which appears in the fan translation of the third game), who sells overpriced items in most games and bilks quite a few people out of their hard-earned money (including the player character) in Legend of Mana. Trials of Mana reveals that Niccolo belongs to a race of such vendors, as does Children of Mana. | |

Killer Rabbit | |

Killer Rabbit: The Black Rabite in Trials of Mana is a palette swap of the weakest enemies of the game, but the boss itself is the strongest enemy in the game. On No Future Mode (the hardest level in the game) of Legend of Mana, every Rabite (and every other enemy) is this. In Dawn of Mana, you can encounter "rare" versions of enemies that have longer life bars and tougher to take town otherwise, and of course Rare Rabites can be found in certain areas. | |

Point of No Return The climb up the Dime Tower to the Mana Sanctuary is a one-way trip in Final Fantasy Adventure and all its remakes. In Dawn of Mana, you can backtrack to just about any point in any stage except for the last one, where a large, unclimbable drop keeps you from Level Grinding for better stats before the second-to-last boss. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Secret of Mana, releasing the sword from the stone on the waterfall spawns Rabites outside of town, eventually leading to the hero getting kicked out of the village forever. In Trials of Mana, once the heroes finally complete their goal of rounding up all eight spirits in order to open a gate to the Holyland, it turns out that their efforts allowed the Mana Stones to be unsealed, opening a gate that every faction other than the heroes is able to use. And then, after stopping an apocalypse by defeating the eight Benevodons, you realize that by defeating them, you released their power into the Sword of Mana. Too bad you let The Dragon take the sword, hero. Keldy and Ritzia sneak into the ruins that they're not supposed to enter, and Keldy kills the Giant Enemy Crab guarding the area when it tries to attack Ritzia... and then Ritzia gets possessed by the spirit of an evil sorceress, who wants to unleash the Echoes of Malvolia onto Illusia. Oops. | |

Unwinnable: You'll need at least two Interchangeable Antimatter Keys to get through the final dungeon of Final Fantasy Adventure. If you don't have them, or use them in the wrong spot, then you can't advance to the Final Boss without grinding for additional keys. Additionally, if you didn't grind enough stat boosts once you've reached the save point before the second-to-last boss in Dawn of Mana, you are probably going to have to restart the entire chapter. | |

Unnecessary Combat Roll | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_8a0bc642 | comment |
Unnecessary Combat Roll: In Dawn of Mana, rolling doesn't give you many invincibility frames, but it's still marginally faster than running. Featured both as its own normal ability and a feature of multiple super moves in Legend of Mana. Dodge rolling is a critical part of the Trials of Mana 3D remake to quickly move to safety or to grant invincibility frames; they also make the same Kiai every time, which for some characters may grate on the ears. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal: Most obvious in Trials of Mana, in which you have a second "bag of holding" that can hold quite a bit more than the main inventory, but all of the other games has your party carting around quite a bit of stuff.

Respawning Enemies | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_a121abc7 | comment |
Respawning Enemies: Killing all the enemies on a screen in Sword of Mana causes them to respawn after a few seconds. This is annoying, but can make farming random drops easier, and since the game has both a healing spell and a technique that lets you recover MP, it stops the player from completely recharging after every battle. In the other games, enemies respawn if you leave the area far enough and return, making Level Grinding fairly easy for areas where you can just keep going in a circle, killing things along the way. | |

Hidden Elf Village | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_a971e83c | comment |
Hidden Elf Village: In Trials of Mana, a literal example is hidden in Lampbloom Woods. There's a non-literal example in Dawn of Mana, on its own remote island. There is one in Secret of Mana as well: The Sprite's home town, but sadly it's destroyed by the Empire just before you arrive. | |

Accidental Hero: Final Fantasy Adventure starred an escaped slave who gets caught up in a fight to save the world. The hero of Secret of Mana appears to be this—he originally only needs the titular sword to cut tall grass—until his identity is revealed. | |

Interchangeable Antimatter Keys | |

You'll need at least two Interchangeable Antimatter Keys to get through the final dungeon of Final Fantasy Adventure. If you don't have them, or use them in the wrong spot, then you can't advance to the Final Boss without grinding for additional keys. | |

Broken Bridge | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_c5f23623 | comment |
Broken Bridge: You have to pull the Mana Sword out to chop down the plant blocking your way back home in Secret of Mana; you similarly need the Axe to break through rocks and the Whip to jump certain gaps. In Trials of Mana, you can't even access the Duskmoon Forest (where the Luna elemental is hidden) until you've gained Salamando, Undine, and Sylphid, nor can you access where Dryad is hidden until you use the Luna elemental on the row of trees blocking your path. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
| Mana Series (Video Game) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The Final Boss of most games is generally a sufficiently terror-inspiring Eldritch Abomination; in Trials of Mana you fight eight Benevodons and the final boss absorbs all of their power, as well as that of the Mana Sword; and in Legend of Mana, you even have to kill the Mana goddess' Superpowered Evil Side. | |
