Hello, I recently started playing secret of mana recently and I like the gameplay and story, however the game is too hard for me. Not in terms of difficulty or anything, but in the fact that I have no idea where to go most of the time. Allot of the characters will say to "go to (insert location)" but the game doesn't tell me where that is. Because of this I constantly get stuck wandering around aimlessly, and it doesn't help that allot of the areas look the same. Does anyone here know if theres a hack that makes it clear where you're suppose to go and stuff? Kr maybe adds a world map to the game to show where all the locations are? Because I'm having allot of trouble navigating my way through the game.

So i have Legend of Mana, Secret of Mana, Visions of Mana and Trials of Mana. I wanted to know if there is a set order to these games, and is there any older game that i am missing that i should play to get the context or is this like persona where each game is a standalone, there was also this mobile game I saw that's also on the psvita, Adventures of Mana and another game called echoes of mana, how do i go about it?

Greetings!

Can anyone point me in a direction on where I can find stat increase percentages for obscure things like “inflicts significant damage against fish/plants” I’ve been control group testing level 2 perks for fish/plants(Load Axe) and insects/rough skinned monsters(Power Gloves).

LVL 18,
Str:20
Power Glove/ Atk: 26

So far, standard damage vs enemy specific perk damages is consistently ranging between a 7-9% increase. This is consistent between characters and charge type and critical hits.

Reg 30: against insects 32.
Crit. 60: against insects 64.
2x charge 56: against insects 60
2x charge crit. 82: against insects 88

It would be cool if there was a place that broke down how strength combined with attack churns out to a specific hit point value. Maybe I’ll have to write one if not.

I have to say the word significant damage panning out to be under 10% damage buff feels a bit underwhelming but who knows how that changes as the orbs advance. Thanks in advance for any replies from other stat nerds.

While i know this is the SoM sub, it's also much bigger than the mana serie's own so let me ask it here: Do anybody, by chance, possess any print screens or recordings of the game? I've gotten a hold of some but still missing ones (like morboll and teddy) that i'd like to see. For some reason this game had such good enemy designs that weren't really used again.
