hightlights:

—What went into the decision of removing co-op for the remake, and is there a chance that it will be added via an update in the future?

Tatsuke: “The original game, with its top-down perspective, included an offline multiplayer mode. This time, we used an adjustable third person perspective to enhance the feeling of being immersed in the world, so we didn’t include that option. We also considered online multiplayer mode, but in order to do that, we would have had to incorporate additional elements specifically to make it enjoyable for online as well. This would have required us to split out time in creating a game that was enjoyable both offline and online. Instead, we thought that we would be able to create something better by focusing on it as a single-person game, and that’s how the decision came to be. We are not planning to have multi-player added through a future update, either.”

—How long do you estimate it will take users to complete the game in terms of experiencing each character’s story? Why do you think the character system is unique?

Tatsuke: “It takes about 25 to 30 hours.”

Oyamada: “The story system in Trials of Mana is unique as it changes how the story plays out depending on which three among the six main characters you select. Playing with different characters allows you to enjoy new facets of the story.”

Tatsuke: “Additionally, in Trials of Mana , you can choose twice whether you want to move toward the Light or Dark class, and this changes your character’s qualities. Additionally, with the inclusion of the ability system in this title, there are now more differences between classes. Plus, class 4, which didn’t exist in the original game, will now be introduced after the game is completed. I hope you’ll experience these by actually playing the game for yourselves.”

—Are there plans for any post-release downloadable content, story-related or otherwise?

Tatsuke: “Currently, there are no plans for downloadable content.”

Added the “Dash Method” option – This allows you to choose from one of the following three dash methods:

  • Normal – Press the dash button to enter the dash state. To return to normal speed, either press the button again, stop moving, or enter battle.
  • Continuous – Press the dash button to enter the dash state. Return to normal speed is only possible by pressing the button again. Otherwise, you will remain in the dash state even after you stop and move again, or after the end of a battle.
  • Automatic – Automatically enters the dash state after one second of movement.

Minor bug fixes, etc.
