Why is Secret of Evermore always left out?

[sirDrunky]

just saying.. if it's about remaking a great single-player game that was a great one!

[RadKit]

I don't think it really belongs with these games as it's more of a spin-off than a part of the series... but it is one of my favorite SNES-era RPGs and I'd just love to see it anywhere really.

[Risotto]

Do another collection with Secret of Evermore, Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia or something

Secret of Evermore, has absolutely NOTHING to do with the entire world/universe of Secret of Mana. Nothing. The only thing that relates them, is the word secret.

Its not even a spinoff. Literally the only thing they have in common or to do with one another, is the word Secret.

That would be like someone trying to say Star Wars is a spinoff of Star Trek because the word Star is in the title.

If only they would start doing the Enix side of the games. Evermore at least has a chance. Going by SE history, we are likely to never see anything done by Enix.

If they ever decide to do a Secret of Evermore remake, I hope they actually finish the game instead of directly porting the game in the state it was released on the SNES. That game had so much cut content, it's a damn shame.

But actually, who am I kidding. As if that would ever happen.

I would love to see Terranigma also! I think it's the start of a joke, how many Final Fantasy remakes does it take to get a Soul Blazer Game?

I detested evermore because we were going to get secret of mana 3 as it was already halfway translated, but was cancelled due to "cultural differences" in favor of evermore, this was the time when you had to wait 6 months to a year for one maybe two JRPGs as it was really dry back then! (Early 1990s)

So yeah, nintendo/sega was stingy with their JRPGs, it wasn't until playstation when we were finally treated to 3-4 JRPGs per year or so that JRPGs finally took off, and as a collector this was the golden age for RPGs, I had well over 100 with PS1 alone!

Secret of Evermore was made by Square North America, and had literally nothing to do with what Square Japan was doing with SD3, but good job hating a game for something that isn't even true. There was never a plan to bring SD3 to NA. It was one of the very last games released on SNES. The release cycle for the console was over.

It was lterally "go make an american version of Secret of Mana". Hence why it is Secret of Mana but with skyscrappers and rocket launchers.

It's literally the black sheep of the series. I'm glad we got this nice remake of Seiken Densetsu 3 to make up for the fact the west never got it until now.

You were not even alive back then...

Thanks for backing the info up, as it was common knowledge back then.

Man, I loved Secret of Evermore. I lost my cart a long time ago, but I still have the instruction manual.

Seiken Densetsu 3 was also a lot of fun... not so sure how I feel about this remake though. Definiately a wait and see.

Secret of Evermore was great, but it's absolutely not a part of the Mana series. In fact, it's the only game ever developed by Squaresoft using a completely Western development team.

Yes, yes indeed.

This is sad. I loved both these series, I simply was lucky enough to get into imports and experience both. I do hope SE opens up to the Evermore series again someday, at least.
