Legend of the Mana Sword focuses on making the first game of the Mana series both a better experience for first time players, and more fun for returning players. If you’ve never played a Mana game before, Legend of the Mana Sword is a good place to start your adventure. If you’ve already played later Mana games, it will be familiar yet new. If you’ve previously played the original (whether it was called Final Fantasy Adventure, Mystic Quest, or Seiken Densetsu) then Legend of the Mana Sword helps the game you remember better live up to its true potential.
The story follows the hero and the young heroine as go on a journey to thwart the Dark Lord of Glaive and his sorcerer assistant, Julius, from destroying the Tree of Mana and dooming their world.
