    did you followed a guide?
    Only thing you may need a guide for is finding all the Li'l Cactus locations. The game even on hard is pretty easy and you can play most of it on easy if you want. Nothing is really missable.
    Ok so I should start it on hard mode? I have read that you can do the game on easy and when you're about to end it switch to hard mode and the achievement pops even so.
    I mean if you want. The only fight you have to do on hard is at the very end of the game.

    Would love an Xbox port of Secret of Mana. Enjoyed the remake on PS4. 👍
    Same here. Played the hell out of that on SNES.
    I guess I wouldn't mind a port either, but that remake wasn't great at the same time though.

    Is there a correct order to play the three games? Trials/Visions/Legends?
    None of the Mana games are really story connected other than the overall world. But in terms of release order, it'd be Legends, Trials, and then Visions. Though Trials is a remake of the 3rd game in the series, and Legends is the 4th game. But that version of Legends is a remaster of PS1 game, while Trials is a full up remake.

    Heads up about Legend of Mana, you can immediately lock yourself out of achievements just by choosing the wrong area on the map and suboptimal placement of locations right at the start of the game. PSNProfiles has a couple of good guides to tell you where to start and how to place things.

    Also make sure to talk to the Lil' Cactus after every single quest is finished!
    Thanks for the information. Would you recommend this guide? https://psnprofiles.com/guide/15555-legend-of-mana-trophy-gu...

    TT lists 8 (+ the platinum) missable achievements: Legend of Mana Trophies It's like devs love to put traps.

    Why does Trials have a lame platinum wannabe? Legend is not similarly afflicted.

    If anything, you’d assume it would be the other way around. Trials was a Super Famicom game while Legend was a PlayStation game. You’d think if one of the two games would be hobbled by the lame Platinum wannabe it would be the one that was originally a PlayStation game.

    I haven't played Visions, but Trials and Legends are both completely self contained stories. Start with whichever you prefer.
    Thanks homie

    That's a good guide, also https://psnprofiles.com/guide/15645-legend-of-mana-full-walk... is a good one to follow. Unfortunately there are some fail states which can potentially lock you out of certain events and voiding one or more achievements, so you might want to consider following along with the walkthrough to avoid those.

    Ugh...wish I hadn't started Legends of Mana. Maybe it'll get better but starting off, I don't like it.

    The TA ratios on these games are bonkers, are they really that brutal or is it just that they haven't been out for long?

    If you look at the profiles you can see they just came out (on Xbox). Otherwise Legend requires a step by step guide or you will miss out on a bunch of achievements. You have to build stuff and you can put them anywhere on the map. If you don't put them at specific places in a specific order you will lock out yourself of achievements instantly at the beginning. Also there is a character you MUST speak every time you finish something or you will miss out on the game accepting you did something. You can still progress but as I said before you will miss out on achievements. There is a great 100% WT on PSNprofiles for the game.

    Legends of mana too it seems since there's 2 people that completed it in 2-3 days.

    SD3 is genuinely one of the best JRPGs of the 90's, amongst the likes of Chrono Trigger and FF7. Where's Chrono Trigger HD, SE?!

    What is SD3?

    Seiken Densetsu 3, the JP name for Trials of Mana, colloquially used as a shorthand because ToM is also the name of an unofficial JP to English RPG translator.
