I'm looking forward to playing this, although I'm dissappointed it doesn't have Secret of Mana's 100% bar system (where your attack is strong only whne the bar is at 100%) and that the charge-up system (where you hold your attack button to do a special attack).

30 hours? For a RPG? That isn't much...

30 hours is fine, and even great to me!
For a handheld anyway.

Thirty hours is average.

I do enjoy a game that you can spend 200 hours + on and not be bored out of your mind (hi baldur's gates!). But not every game can accomplish this.

I just want a return to the Mana series's roots. No more of this you-can-only-use-your-weapon-during-a-battle and simplistic overworld map nonsense.

It's quite a bit for handhelds. There hasn't been a decent, long handheld RPG in awhile.

Those didn't take too long to complete. Nowhere near 30 hours anyways.

Depends on whether you catch 'em all or not.

Touché.

I think I only did that once. And I had a friend trade me. So I didn't technically catch them. But I did have a full pokédex.
Posted by Klarth

Considering you need to trade to fill it (hence, there are always two versions!), you did it legally, friend.

Legally.

Law And Order CSI series twelve: Las Vegas.

Yeah, this game will be similar to Secret of Mana, minus the chargeup and 100 percent bar. But the screenshots look amazing, I really want to play this.

well talkin about long games dont forget final fantasy tactics advance. after beating the main quests im still working on the side quests.

It was about 30 pokémon though.
Posted by Klarth

Yeah, well hush.

And this can't possibly be as good as Secret of Mana II. Otherwise I'd buy a DS for it.

You will probably end up doing so ;)

After how much I loved Sword of Mana...I can't wait. A GOOD DS RPG to come out? My god...finally.

Thank you. And Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I just got today, and can already tell I won't be beating this for a while.
