Let’s watch another video from the YouTube Channel of ManaRedux. This time, we’re learning about the Upper Land. As a kid, I got hard stuck at the Fire Gigas fight for a very long time. I borrowed the game from an aunt, and I didn’t quite understand leveling. After finally beating the Fire Gigas and moving on through the game, I feel like things really opened up at the Upper Land. This place felt remote with its lack of real cities (until Matango which feels so different) and deep caves. Later on, after getting Flammie, I took notice of the lack of detail the area had on the map. It was such a large area, but the actual maps were not nearly as large. That always stuck out to me.
Behind the Scenes of The Upper Land
Starting out, we go over the map discrepancy. Exactly what I was looking for! The Moogle village always stuck out to me as weird without buildings, so it’s neat to see they were initially planned. Finally, all the detail of the Wind Palace is very interesting. Overall some really cool stuff!
I’ve been gone for a bit, and in that time ManaRedux from over at Secret of Mana: Redux has been busy making videos for his YouTube Channel. I’m going to watch through them when I get time, and you can watch along with me if you’d like. Or just go binge watch all seven right now. Me? I’m gonna take my time.
Two Northtown Anomalies
These two anomalies kept me pretty busy guessing as a kid. I always wondered if the weird secret passageway in Northtown mentioned on our Secrets page had something to do with the carousel looking thing. As for the door in the resistance base, I think kid me chalked that one up to the base actually being a much larger operation with multiple levels only accessible to the most trusted operatives. Obviously, with Popoi in tow, Kristie wasn’t taking any chances.
On second thought, that one was pretty short so I’m going to watch another. Some of the others are quite a bit longer, but the first couple are short.
The Mysterious Deleted Path
This video has some great information and footage about early versions of the early game map. The little islands with the whip poles on them remind me of the area surrounding Wendel in Final Fantasy Adventure. The Garuda from FFA showing up, along with a small dock that looks perfect for a Chocobot to take off from just emphasize the similarities to me. It’s awesome to see these glimpses into early development. It’s just a shame the entire game could not have had this much time poured into it (looking at you, Ice Country).

Comments Off on Monster page added for Final Fantasy Adventure
It has been a while since Seikens got new content. Visions of Mana was released last year and we don’t have much coverage of it. Let’s try to change that. Today we have added artwork and 3D renders from the game. Head over to the gallery to see the wonderful images
