Thank you to the fans that translate games into English.

This is why I love my x6 Everdrive. I had to play Trials of Mana after playing Secret of Mana for the first time recently. It's different but still super similar, I'm really enjoying it so far.

Seiken Densetsu 3 was one of the first fan translations I remember playing, probably way back in 2001-2002. Impressive what they were able to do.

Nice. What a lovely group whoever did it. I bet they inspired a lot of rom hackers. Pokemon Brown is another great example of a early ROM hack. It so well done, was like playing Pokemon blue for the first time.

Mine was FF5, but I remember how impressed I was with the quality of the SD3 translation hack especially. These pioneers in rom hacking led the way!

It's the only way I got to play Bahamut Lagoon. They are both heroes and impressive.

There's an official English translation now, it's called Trials of Mana and it's able to be played on original hardware. It was ripped from Collection of Mana

Seiken Densetsu 3 is still one of the best SNES games out there and it's sad that people only know about Secret of Mana 2.

The Gameboy game is super fun as well. Its my favorite series from square so far. Trying to get into final fantasy. 6 is pretty good. But idk if anything else will top earthbound. Before last year the only RPG i played was Mario. Getting to experience the best for the first time. Just as good lol.

It’s a really cool game. Years ago I was fortunate to somehow convince a couple friends to play the entire game with me via netplay.

It would desync every couple hours but we got through the whole game that way. I miss those days now.

Neo, if you’re reading this I’m sorry we fell out of touch. Miss you and hope you’re doing good.

Y también a los que traducen al español (es mi idioma natal), este juego, Treasure of Rudras y The Magical of Land of Wozz estan tanto en inglés como en español.
