Combat is done in real time, with a simple square-and-triangle combo system, dodging, and real-time spell usage. The remake has the same blend, but it's tilted more toward the action. The original Trials of Mana had an odd blend of action and RPG mechanics, although it was tilted more toward the RPG. This is true of every character, and even if you choose the same character two games in a row, that doesn't mean you're stuck with them. Hawkeye the thief can focus on finding items and using ninja techniques that debuff his opponent or plain physical DPS. This means you can use Kevin as your primary healer while still keeping a strong fighter in the group. One of his class trees turns him into a monk who can heal as well as fight. Naturally, you'd want to gravitate toward damage for him, and damage is an option. Finally, at the very endgame, you unlock fourth-tier classes that are either dark or light (depending on your first choice) but have slightly different skills and passives, depending on how you leveled there.įor example, Kevin the werewolf is a physical powerhouse who turns into a wolf during night segments, which only make him more powerful. Each class combination has its own distinctive abilities and passives.
Possible class combinations are light-light, dark-light, light-dark and dark-dark. At level 35, you need to find special items that allow you to level up into one of four classes, depending on your first choice of dark or light. This unlocks new skills, an additional passive skill, and new things on which to spend your stat points. Light classes tend to be more supportive and defensive, while dark classes tend to more combat-oriented. Once you reach level 18, you can level up into one of two job classes, one associated with light and the other associated with dark. The distinct characters and branching plots help the game feel fresh, but it is still a simple and down-to-earth story about good versus evil.Įven though you are selecting from three characters, each character has multiple builds.
#TRIALS OF MANA MAIN CHARACTER PLUS#
Trials of Mana was ambitious for an SNES RPG, and that's both a plus and a minus. There are three possible outcomes, roughly divided between Riesz/Hawkeye, Duran/Angela and Kevin/Charlotte, but within that framework, there are still unique interactions and events. Whoever you select as the main character is the centerpiece of the plot and determines where the story goes. Trials of Mana has six playable characters, but you'll only choose three.
