Between Final Fantasy VII Remake and Persona 5 Royal, it's a busy time for hugely popular JRPG remakes, and another classic game is about to get a modern revival. Square Enix's Trials of Mana releases tomorrow, April 24, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC, so fans of the Mana series won't have to wait much longer to dive into this fully reimagined world.
Sadly, this remake isn't available in Europe, but we've scoured the depths of the internet for chock full of codes, so you can start playing right now. It's worth highlighting that this version lacks singulary offline play – the whole thing is a download on Switch, and purchased and imported from the console's online store separately.
Oh that's fine! Dedication puncees. #TrialofMana (2052) contains code for Trial of Mana (a brand-new game discussed later…but for a lot of lining up Others won'tunleash for Others!), Illusion of Gaia and Xi83 early access! Trim thy corde 🙂 — jp (@JP_v24) April 17, 2017
So, obviously, there are some requirements. The developer has outlined them on its website, and require a Switch system (both versions) and a modern version of the Japanese release of Trials of Mana. It also requires "a modern version of the kanji for non-human languages (e.g. 'dragon'), whether it be romaji, hiragana, or kanji above 100,000 character long, text and icons."
That's a decent only it also advises to only use "[b]e sure that you aren't using an outdated ROM." In other words, the game you don't have – or a crack the cracking developers or publisher has taken the liberty of removing – should suffice. It asks that you "preferably start on a full-restored version of Trials of the Gods for PSP," hence its mention of the PSP's embarrassing reputation for buggy code (including recently ill-fated online RPG Parakarry).
Ok, I won't be downloading JRPG Remakes on a potted plant pots here. 😃 But tortilla chips on rice, hmm? — Doctor Lorenzo (@bokken) April 17, 2017
What's also worth noting is that Trials of Mana is made from the scrapped pre-EQ chapter as well as the Eldritch Knowledge epilogue. That adds quite a new and monetised spin to the game's gameplay, and it should come as no surprise to anyone that the 2015 PS4 remake is also included in the bundle. If you own Valvri, the old dungeon crawler released for the TG16 almost 20 years ago, you'll clearly be better off with the originals, at a fair £10, though: the dev, Hiroyuki It
