| Well. I got ahold of a ROM of a perfectly legal copy of Sword of Mana. So far, I have to say... SPOILERED FOR HUGE EMOBITCHFIT =) - Spoiler:
..as a huge obsessive fan of the original (AKA Final Fantasy Adventure, what I consider to be the original Game Boy's best game mostly because of the lolarious dialogue, the fact that pretty much everybody dies, the sheer fun of killing things and the simple interface) I have to say this remake fills me with NERD RAEG. You know the kind. The kind that makes people bitch about the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame not being dark enough or complain that Gimli's beard is two thirds of a shade too dark.
For one, Willy is now a rotten coward jerkface, and the random dude that is escorting your chick sidekick not only doesn't die, he doesn't even appear.
And your character is, instead of a badass gladiator, some sixteen year old babyfaced kid who constantly emo's on about this chick he met once (coincidentally your female sidekick) and said sidekick is now, "feisty."
AND THEY TOOK OUT THE ROBOT CHOCOBO THOSE MOTHERFU--
...-cough- erh, anyway.
But not even them taking out the robot chocobo is the worst part. You know what was the worst part?
The worst part was they took the awesome villain-behind-the-villain, Julius, and made him into a dwarfish whispy haired thing with blue-tinted skin.
And no beard. They took Julius' beard! That deserves an emobitchfit of it's own! ='( His beard kicked ass.
And they made Dark Lord who was essentially just a jerkface who did it all for the lulz and made him a bishounen tragic figure oh baaaaaw
Fuck you, Sword of Mana. I can't quit playing, however, out of the same sort of phenomenon that makes you watch a trainwreck: I keep asking myself, "Gee, how can they make it worse?"
Okay, now that I've got the BAAAAAAAAAW out of my system... I had fun with it, not the best game, but an alright remake even if it's indelibly marked with the poison claws of the weird art style the Mana series has taken. I mean, seriously, all the characters have been made into dwarvish dwarfy things that are 50% hair. Also, BAAAAAAW I WANT MY ROBOT CHOCOBO BACK. | |
