Sheiken Densentsu 3- The best RPG never to be released in english?

[The Call of Snapcase]

Has anyone played the translated version of this excellent Secret of Mana sequel whichwas never released in english? Beside the rather duff interface, this game has everything- Depth (6 characters with 6 occupations each, lots of spells, many endings,many beginnings...), Action (It's an action RPG, a genre we don't see enough of these days- Why doesn't squaresoft make another one?), A truly epic scale and that inescapable secret of mana magic, with perhaps a tad better written story. Corruption, rise of evil, etc, etc. You're going to have to find the ROM yourself though, I don't have a link.

Recommended. Almost as good as Secret of Mana, but much much larger...

What is Secret of Mana?

Oh, wait, I'm sorry, it's Seiken Densetsu not Sheiken Densentsu. Japanese names...

SoM is the best Action RPG ever to be released, IMO. It's for the SNES.

Seiken Densetsu?

Does it mean "The legend of the holy sword"?

Entirely possible. A holy sword does figure prominently in the storyline.

Notice: The game got a PSX sequel, called "Legend of Mana" (how imaginative) a few months ago.
