Sword of Mana, released in Japan as Shin'yaku Seiken Densetsu (æ–°ç´„ è�–剣ä¼�説) or The New Testament: Legend of the Holy Sword, is a Video Game Remake of the first game of the Mana series with many of the Final Fantasy references removed and many added details from the later games inserted. It was released for the Game Boy Advance in late 2003. Faithful remakes of the original 1991 video game were released in 2006 exclusively for Japanese mobile phones and in 2016 for iOS, Android, and Play Station Vita.Not so very long ago in the kingdom that would become known as Granz, a knight and sorcerer named Vandole stumbled upon the Mana Tree, inadvertently absorbed its power, and (of course) proceeded to slowly lose his mind and sense of self. He established an empire that abused Mana to power its technology, had a reign of terror, and was eventually vanquished by a small but powerful band of heroes. A bit of time has passed since, and those heroes had begun to settle down and stabilize the world, when trouble (naturally) reemerged. Stroud... Oh, please excuse me, Dark Lord (son of Granz, one of the previous generation's heroes) and his... um, friend Julius staged a bloody coup of the Granz regime and began a vicious persecution of the Mana tribe. In so doing, two young children—the son of one of the Granz aristocrats and a girl of the Mana tribe—have their lives very violently disrupted: the Mana tribe is wiped out and the girl is forced to go into hiding, while the boy's parents meet a similar fate. He isn't as lucky as her, and is forced to fight as a gladiator for Dark Lord's amusement.Ten years later, the boy makes an escape and the girl starts out on a journey to find other Mana tribe survivors. They bump into each other again, and destiny ensues.Like many of the other "old-school" Seiken Densetsu games, Sword of Mana allows the player to choose whether to play as the hero or the heroine. Unlike other Seiken Densetsu games, though, there are significant differences depending on who you choose to play—the hero's route has slightly more focus on dungeon gameplay; in the heroine's story, the characters (particularly the villains) are MUCH more well-developed.Also like many other "old-school" Seiken Densetsu games, Sword of Mana's story is wrought with angst, and a great many main characters die. Good luck not getting attached to any of them, though. | |

The Virus: Medusa's venom inflicts Body Horror on Amanda; the Vandole family's addiction to Mana power eventually gets the better of Julius (of course, depending on whether he's Vandole himself or not, he may be the one who got the Vandole family addicted to Mana power in the first place). | |

Dragon Their Feet: Despite the fact that the three surviving members of his team are nearby and doing perfectly well, Dark Lord still fights you on his own, outnumbered two to one. May be a case of This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself on Julius and Isabella's part; definitely a case of dickery on Goremand's. | |

Generation Xerox | |
Sword of Mana (Video Game) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: Like every Vandole, Julius has distinctive red hair and green eyes. The heroine apparently looks just like her real mother, too. The legendary Gemma Knights were Gemma: a sword-wielding hero, Bogard: a man from the Mana clan, and Granz: a minstrel. What are the hero, Willy, and Lester again? And all of these characters are more or less doomed to re-enact the adventures of the previous generation. The heroine and Julius in particular have a pretty raw deal, as destiny has arranged for the former's self-sacrifice and the latter's loss of humanity, not helped that the same happened to their predecessors, Emperor Vandole and the heroine's mother Mana, as well. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Mooglemorphis turns you into a Moogle! Along with BubbleBoat and Shadow, these spells make the player invisible to all monsters except those that can track you by smell, sight, and sound respectively. However you can't attack, move very slowly, and probably will still be surrounded by monsters if you were trapped before. | |

Sequential Boss: Julius has a three-part battle. He first fights alongside a number of yellow Palette Swaps of the Gray Ox. Then his second phase has him do a Doppelgänger Spin before each attack. Finally, he goes One-Winged Angel using the power of the Mana Tree and sends you to an Amazing Technicolor Battlefield where he frequently flies out of your attack range. | |

Final Boss, New Dimension: You get sent to one of these for the third and last phase of the final boss fight against Julius. It's kind of an abstract blue area with a shimmer effect in the foreground. You're confined to a small area of solid ground in the center while he constantly flies around. The location box in your menu just refers to the place as "Limbo." | |

Homing Projectile: The staff turns your attack magic into this, making it the heroine's default form of magic. If an enemy is close enough, it can come back around for a second hit. The knuckles cause a variant where you control the spell to send it in the direction of your choice. You can have it stop on top of an enemy for another hit as well. | |

Julius even calls the Mana Clan out on this very early in the story, perhaps in parody of the Green Aesop in Secret of Mana.

Guide Dang It! | |
Sword of Mana (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Sword of Mana takes a lot of cues from Legend of Mana. Unfortunately, this was one of them. Gardening is much more complicated than it looks like if you're trying to get certain kinds of produce, and trying out all the combination without a guide would be a ridiculously time-consuming expenditure. There's also the process of getting crystal weapons, Niccolo's special deals, and oh yes ALL of the advanced classes, especially the ones that require you to specialize in a weapon before you have access to it! | |

Sword of Mana (Video Game) / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: The heroine is doomed to become the new Mana Goddess to save the Mana Tree, which was dying even before Julius started draining it, due to Julius and Dark Lord trying to phase out the world's use of, and reliance upon, the power of Mana. Worst of all, the heroine had passively sensed that this was true, but consciously acted to Screw Destiny until it was clear that if she doesn't do it, it'd cause The End of the World as We Know It. | |

Isabella is a more straight example for Belladonna from the same game, with "Isabella" actually being her name instead of an alias to pass as human, in addition to being from the Bigieu clan*("Bigieu" was how the Trials villain's name was interpreted prior to her official Dub Name Change.) and her interest in Dark Lord mirroring Belladonna's obsession with His Dark Majesty. | |

Interspecies Romance: Mavole law forbids marriage and interbreeding with humans. Sometimes couples try anyway; when the geas kicks in for the Mavole member of the couple, the results are never pretty. Poor, poor Medusa. As for the children of such a union, there doesn't seem to be a taboo against relationships, but we never see one take its course without the half-blood dying midway through. Children of such a union do tend to lead very messed-up lives. Poor Devius and Dark Lord. | |

Crystal weapons even have a chance to deal ALL-(yes, that's what it actually says) elemental damage, while crystal armors resist ALL elements and make you immune to Charm. However, you may find that a mix of other types of armors that resist other Status Effects may be better than just straight-up pure defense. Also however, you'll notice that the heroine can only have crystal weapons and gloves. That's where Altena Felt comes in—does the same job as crystal for fabric equipment, but grants immunity to Confuse instead. The secret Brownie Ring, which increases all of your stats by 55. | |

Canon Name: The hero and heroine have several. To avoid confusion, they are not used here, and are referred to as "the hero" and "the heroine" respectively. In Final Fantasy Adventure and Adventures of Mana: Hero and Heroine in Japanese, and Sumo and Fuji in English. In Sword of Mana: Duke and Elena in Japanese material, and Matt and Rose in the English strategy guide and official promotional comics. | |

Anti-Villain | |
Sword of Mana (Video Game) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Dark Lord is just bitter over his father's refusal to save his mother; Julius is slowly succumbing to his Vandole blood (that's if he's not Vandole himself). Even so, they're both psychopaths who kill many innocent people and settle at ruining many other lives just as badly to obtain their own goals without hesitation. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Sword of Mana (Video Game) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Dark Lord thinks the Mana clan's non-interference policy is stupid and makes his displeasure VERY clear. A more humorous example occurs if the player accepts the side quest to trade away Li'l Cactus and then the follow-up quest to get him back. Entries in Li'l Cactus' journal naturally don't get added while he's gone, but get filled in retroactively when he returns. The entry that gets added for the sidequest where he gets traded away is just the word "TRAITOR" repeated for the entire page length. | |

Sword of Mana (Video Game) / int_d3c2c6b2 | comment |
Spread Shot: The axe causes your attack magic to hit an expanding area, though only the fire, water, and earth spells visualize it as spreading projectiles. Moon, wind, and wood spells are visualized as expanding waves, light as two projectiles that zigzag around each other and them move outward, and darkness as an expanding sphere. | |

Adaptation Name Change: In the Japanese version of Final Fantasy Adventure, Vandole was spelled �ンドール (better translated as "Bandol"). To go along with the newer Mana series references, Sword of Mana changed it to ヴァンドール (Vandole), suggesting a greater connection to the Secret of Mana character of the same name. | |

Expy: Goremand is based on the character of the same name from Trials of Mana, being a soul-eating Monster Clown. Isabella is a more straight example for Belladonna from the same game, with "Isabella" actually being her name instead of an alias to pass as human, in addition to being from the Bigieu clan*("Bigieu" was how the Trials villain's name was interpreted prior to her official Dub Name Change.) and her interest in Dark Lord mirroring Belladonna's obsession with His Dark Majesty. | |

Elemental Crafting | |
Sword of Mana (Video Game) / int_e5eabfc4 | comment |
Elemental Crafting: The game uses surprising variety of materials for equipment. There are eight classes of materials and two broad gear categories: fighter-type heavy armor and mage-type light armor. Any given piece of equipment can be made from several different material classes, leading to the hero wearing a bone breastplate and metal gauntlets while the heroine wears a cloth robe and wooden sandals. A given material class isn't "better" than another but they give different properties to the equipment they make. The full material list follows: Cloth: Cotton, silk, hemp, felt. Wood: Oak, holly, boabab, charcoal, ash, dion, mistletoe, fossil. Leather: Animal hide, gator, centaur, pegasus. Bone: Animal, elephant tusk, black bone, fossil. Metal: Bronze, iron, steel, alloy, iron, alloy, lead, mythril silver, orihalcum. Scale: Fish, lizard, snake, dragon. Meteorite: Jake aerolite, hal, ankh, vinek. Stone: Marble, obsidian, pedan, crystal. | |
