I never played Secret of Mana. Is the series really good or is

1,2, and 3 are great. Story is simple, but nice. Soundtrack is amazing, gameplay fun and simple. Need to replay the SNES games sometime soon.

I heard it's weird to unlock the co-op mode, that requires playing the first 15 minutes or so alone and then when having a party someone else can join

played a little bit at a friend's house, semmed cool

amazing box art

the music is comfy and theres tons of neat stuff you can do

Tried to replay it solo on emulator, it is not good to play this solo. The AI is really fucking bad, early game you won't have Revive to get people back up so you have to spend money for an item to revive. The AI just makes it unplayable, they die really often and there is nothing you can do about it.

Its like 30-45 minutes.

its fun but will seem like its lacking a lot compared to some other games due to a lot of content being cut, its pretty generic. the best part was playing with friends or a sibling because back in the day there weren't very many co-op zelda-ish games. music is top tier. playing it sets you up for sd3 which is everything som is but 10x better

watch some of these when you progress

So, it's "only" a simple but charming JRPG?

Secret of Mana is my favorite game. It might be nostalgia because me and my little brother played the shit out of it, but I just really like the atmosphere and the combat. 3 fucking sucks they ruined the combat by locking weapons to classes and the fact that there's a transition from walking around and running into enemies. Final Fantasy Adventure is pretty good too I was lucky enough for that to be one of my few game boy games.

Its alright.
The gameplay is fun at first but later on, mainly in boss fights, it becomes a chore. The music is great. The story is okay...? To be honest I cannot remember any of the story, none of it stuck with me.
