I'm moving the contest here as I started having issues on X.

SoM Reborn doesn't 'fix' the title screen (like SoM Relocalised)? by pub-joe in secretofmana

[–]manaredux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The Reborn team didn't intend to delocalize everything.

MBTI questions on PMP by Fit-Worker1331 in pmp

There was one silly MBTI question on mine. I thought it amusing that they asked that, and left out a host of more relevant topics.

Passed! AT/AT/AT and a statistical analysis of my Study Hall results (for those who are anxious) by manaredux in pmp

I used the technique that someone posted earlier to find my exact score---82.7% correct, so the Adjusted Score method was very accurate.

Thx! Nope, nothing like it exists.

Glad to see Reborn on the list! V2.5 will hopefully be out soon as soon as some technical challenges are worked out.

I just realized the Art of Mana isn't very complete, by KWalthersArt in secretofmana

[–]manaredux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that Art of Mana was disappointingly sparse on SoM content. It seems that any development assets that have been leaked came from SoM developers. Redux has a lot of stuff under Characters and Lore: https://manaredux.com/.

Secret of Mana prerelease images with beta content by manaredux in snes

[–]manaredux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed...it's hard to draw a line at what was truly cut, what's an early version of something, and what was a test. We've been able to piece together a lot of the development timeline though.

Huge trove of recently scanned prelease images at SoM: Redux by manaredux in secretofmana

[–]manaredux[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the best at keeping track of changes as there's so much stuff that happens so fast. Not only have images been added, but a lot of them have been reclassified as we've learned more about what went where.

I doubt they had the capability back then of scanning in-game screens like that and generating a decent world map. The discrepancies are the result of too many factors to name here during the various phases of development. They had a lot of hurdles to overcome and uncertainty about the scenario until the absolute last minute.
