Visions of Mana Confirms Class Changes; New Screenshots and Character Art of Party Members
Various Japanese outlets have shared new information on the upcoming Square Enix action JRPG Visions of Mana. Several facets are discussed, including exploration with items known as Spirit Vessels. Additionally, class changes have been confirmed, and it seems that equipping a Spirit Vessel will alter one’s class.
Further, characters other than the protagonist, Val, were introduced. However, we’re not sure what their final English names will be, so just note that the names used in the galleries below may not be the localized ones. We’ll have more details on Spirit Vessels and the cast once Square Enix shares information in the West.
Visions of Mana is the first new installment of the mainline Mana series on consoles in over 15 years. It is also the franchise’s first launch on Xbox and will be released on PC and PlayStation 5. The franchise began as Final Fantasy Adventure and has since grown to include classic titles such as Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana. In recent years, remakes and compilations of Mana titles have been released, potentially testing fan interest in the series for the developers.
The franchise now features aerial combat, and the series familiar Elementals will return to assist the player and allow for flexible fighting styles. The game’s music was also mentioned to feature an adaptive music system that seamlessly transitions the game in and out of combat while still keeping the Mana flair and having a tracklist of 100 songs. A new creature is the pikul, a companion that assists with traversal.
