Take about $20 off that price tag, and I’d start to consider it.
I finished this demo confident about one thing - I would not be buying Trials of Mana. This is a real shame, because the voice actors sounds like they really committed to the bit, even when the lines are pretty hammy.
Everything looks languid, like everyone’s really tired and ready for a nap. A complete lack of urgency in everyone's actions betrays the performances. There’s an inordinate amount of pauses in the action as character models finish their sweeping hand motions. The issue isn’t so much in the performances, I think, but in the staging. There’s voice acting this time around, but I’m not sure I’d call that an improvement either. No single event gets any room to breathe before you're whisked away to the next one. By sticking to 100% accuracy here, it really reveals how boilerplate all these origin stories are. This is all accurate to what occurs in Seiken Densetsu 3, but seeing it all unfurl so fast back then felt more forgivable. Then she kills him, and I’m arrested for the crime. He too is then placed under a spell and forced to fight me. My best friend Eagle, who appears to be his son, wants to go confront her. In the first five minutes, I’ve returned home to find the leader of my people is now under the spell of an evil sorceress. It’s also around now I notice the story is proceeding at a breakneck speed. The exterior enviornments are similar, but the interior ones are barely representative.

Lit windows in the dark, staircases, actual elevation. What’s really odd is I can’t even blame this one on strict adherence to the source material, because the original version of Navarl had more topograhy.
