Lots of spoilers but this looks like a much bigger game than I expected. I hope it does really well.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft.

It's up to Square Enix actually. Valve discourages prepurchase but allows some publishers to do it.

you can infact pre order the game here on steam this very momend

This game is going to be amazing. I can't wait.

Wdym spoilers? Are people playing it already?

Yeah it's on the front page, and you can pre-purchase as well I suppose. Highest priced mana game so far.

Worst part about it is (for me anyways) another game I'm looking at is releasing 2 DAY's after this releases - and I've been watching it for a couple of years now.... If this released in July - I probably would get it on release - now not sure.

The trailer reveals quite a bit. Both game play and story.

I'm not complaining. They need to get people hyped and sell people on it. But I get the impression at least one mid game twist was revealed.

Only if you completely ignore inflation. Secret of Mana cost the equivalent of nearly triple the price. It was $70 or more, about $150 today. I assume Dawn of Mana was probably $50, about $77 today.

So, in fact, this is the lowest priced new main series Seiken Densetsu/Mana release.

I'm totally prepurchasing. I'm just waiting to tomorrow to do one transaction including the Kingdom Hearts collection.

Without knowing any sort of context I don't feel like I was spoiled by anything, but now reading through this thread I maybe don't want to watch it again in-case I accidently scrutinize it more closely :P

Several game play elements and hesitancy to complete the pilgrimage. And a smorgasbord of series elements returning.

Not huge ones. But likely very brief mid to late game clips.

Trailers usually spoil something - Just avoid them. I would only watch a trailer for a game I don't know nothing about, and never played anything in that franchise before.

If your on the fence for buying a game just read reviews, come on here, or go on forums - and that is only if you know the franchise itself - if your the opposite just watch a trailer - you'll probably be focused on the gameplay as opposed to the story if it's your first time anyways.

^ I'm not hovering over that spoiler tag

Truth be told I'm not too familiar with the series so I suppose there's not a lot for me to pick up on.
Me, my brother and cousin used to play Secret of Mana on the Snes 3-player mode, and I did pick up Trials of Mana here on steam several years ago.

You kind of are familiar - trailers really are for people who see's this posted on the recent release - comes in to the page to see what they games about - They don't know anything about the series and never played any of the games in the past.

Demo's would be the main seller for people who played these games in the past - which is what really sold ToM - It's demo was awesome. We get to make a choice by playing it - and your not really spoiled to anything.
