The second high-definition remake of a 90s-era Square Enix role-playing game coming out this month is much more faithful to the original than Final Fantasy VII. Beneath Trials of Mana’s cartoonish 3D makeover and questionable voice acting, it’s the same simple, satisfying action RPG it’s always been.
Outside of those mostly welcome changes and additions, the HD remake of Trials of Mana is very much the original game with a fresh coat of paint. The story is the same. The characters are the same. And hey, Square Enix managed to do the whole thing in one single release. Take that, Final Fantasy VII Remake.
