AN EXTENDED ANTHOLOGY

Legend of Mana Remake - https://youtu.be/KElSs8YIM7A

As each story leads to more stories, I don’t know whether they’re all going to come together or not. Right now, I’m tracking the mage school, the jewel hunter, the pirates and the dragon emperor quest lines, and I think the art mansion and bard centaur are others but I’m not totally certain they’re separate from the mage school.

Presumably, solving all these stories, or at least most of them, will result in the end of the game. There is actually a significantly different time on HowLongToBeat for just finishing the game versus completionist, so I don’t think I need to do everything. But that “completionist” one might also correspond with raising every possible pet. I definitely won’t be doing that one. The Tree of Mana (I think) that appears when you leave an area looks nearly full-grown, however, so I might be near the end of the game? I have no way to tell. I haven’t gathered any elementals or anything like that. Maybe I’m just close to the halfway point.

My rate of progressing through stories has sped up—I finished twice as many this time compared to the previous—but that also might just be that I had some idea what I was doing. I had an objective, most of the time. I think I may have nearly run out of artifacts to place and might have to spend a bunch of time looking around revisits to regions in the future. I still don’t know where Elazul wants to go.
