Legend of Mana is getting an "HD remaster". Backgrounds and certain UI elements have new art, but everything else still uses the old sprites.
Excitement, but also despair.
Was one of my top 20 favorite rpgs. I do not feel confident that the aspects I loved will remain. That they are leaving sprites alone, but altering backdrops means they're ditching the fmv backgrounds that work perfectly well and should have never stopped getting used - worse, I have this nagging suspicion that they'll start using visual direction similar to that nasty pile Octopath Traveler.
Being an rpg, a lot rides on the text, too. We all know what to expect when things are localized for clown world.
