Resident forum goer and all-around-awesome-dude Abdul Moti recently made a post about a school project he and a friend made. It’s a power point presentation about Children of Mana! And better yet, he and his friend have decided to dedicate the project to all Mana Fans!

You can check out his power point presentation here.

It’s pretty awesome and very professional looking. Personally I think everyone should follow his example and work the Seiken Densetsu series into as many school projects as they can. Just don’t go the way of The Cheesecake Challenge with it, though. A large group of friends and I followed Sam Hughes’ lead and pulled that stunt in our economics class in highschool and the teacher held us all afterwards to question us on why cheese cakes were so important to us.

Way to Go! Abdul Moti!

Today’s music comes from the Dragon story arc in Legend of Mana.

Complicated Destiny - Yoko Shimomura
Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

I chose this one because it’s basically a two for one deal. It has it’s own little thing going on, and then it breaks into the sad music from the track Bonded by the Soul, and then back again a few times. Then I could have uploaded The One who Waits for the Breath of Destiny and Fiery Castle and everything could have played into each other even more. One thing I really like about Legend of Mana is how much the music for each arc calls back to other tracks used in it, gives a big overall feeling of familiarity with the story and really draws you in. At least that’s what I think. The best part is even though you’re hearing the same music over and over it never gets boring because it’s just so good.

- Hey everybody long time no see!

- I thought we got cancelled.

- No, Sheexy just got lazy.

- Shush. Anyway, we’ve got a few items this week, but there seriously is nothing good on eBay lately!

- Both of the Legend of Mana manga are currently on sale, so if you want them you should jump at this! You can get the Old Set or the New Set both for the same price. Don’t forget, you can make an offer on these items and possibly get them for even less!

- Even if you can’t understand the comics, since they’re in Japanese, the art is really fun!

- The only other item we’ve got is this Making of Mana Legend of Mana art book. It’s got some great art from the game in it, as well as a bunch of merchandise pictures!

- Well unfortunately, that’s all folks! Hopefully we’ll have some better deals soon!

Hey everybody, sorry for both the late MMM update and the apparent lack of updates to the site lately. I’ve been gone for a while and haven’t been able to do stuff, but I’m on break right now so maybe I’ll get something done soon.

For this week we’ve got a nice little tune from Dawn of Mana, enjoy!

A Mysterious Forest - Kenji Ito

Hey everybody, this week we’ve got one of my favorite tracks from Secret of Mana for you to listen to:

Did You See the Sea? - Hiroki Kikuta

I love how they take the Into The Thick of It track from earlier in the game and remix it, making it faster paced to give you a sense of urgency. Anyway I thought I had more to say, but apparently I don’t, so just enjoy the music.

And they got a nifty new icon made by Neesa:

You can see the other entries, including the second place entry by Tekka from the forums by going to this gallery. They all look really good, it must have been a hard choice for the judges!

And hey, if you have a dA and haven’t joined the club, do it!

Kassidy is gonna hate me for this one.

Rising Sun - Kenji Ito

And just because that one is kinda short, here is the original without the Endless Battlefield thrown in.

Sorry about the Musicless Monday last week, I’d claim it was because of the day that Music died, but that would have been the week before last week even, and also that would be largely tasteless.

This week we’ve got a classic Legend of Mana tune. Even if you played the game only a little you should know this one:

Wanderer’s Path - Yoko Shimomura
[MEDIA=214]

Yeah, I’ll admit I don’t really have anything planned for this update except for this string of Tigers… but if you want some last minute Seiken Densetsu Valentine’s Day card ideas, check out the post I did last year.

Have a good one, everyone!

- Well guys, there isn’t much today, but some of it is kinda nice.

- One nice thing is this Legend of Mana Manga Collection. It’s the two new reprints of the old version, so you might just buy this if you don’t have those, unless you are a serious collector.

- Make an offer on that and you could get it for cheap! The same goes for this Seiken Densetsu Piano Music Collection! Make an offer on it and you could be playing tons of awesome tracks from the series!

- Well actually, that’s it.

- Really?

- Yeah, nothing else worth mentioning. A few deals looked good, but when I checked the shipping charges they were through the roof!

- That’s my secret to making lots of money.

- Stop that. Anyways, see you all next week!
