Here we get a new and interesting round of details of Trials of Mana. We have been able to know the information through Gematsu and this time it focuses on the game improvement system, skills, appearance changes, seeds and more.
■ Character improvement system
When you level up, the character's basic statistics such as health and strength will increase. By assigning the "Growth Points" earned when you level up, you can strengthen your character with special abilities, statistics increases and new skills.
Increase in statistics
By assigning a fixed amount of Growth Points, you can increase your HP, MP, Strength, Defense, Spirit, Intellect and Luck. Your assigned points can also be restored by visiting a specific place …
Special abilities
These are magical and special attacks that, when learned, are automatically registered as special skill commands, and can be used on the field and in battle. Using them drains MP.
Character skills
With a more action-oriented battle system on a 3D map, several balance adjustments have been implemented. New elements have also been added that did not appear in the original game, and each class has been improved to improve its ease of use. Try various combinations of characters that have learned different skills.
■ New element: skill system
There are several skills that will be useful in your adventure. By equipping the skills you learned, they can be used. The skills have several effects, such as improving your statistics and giving you an advantage in battle. In addition to the skills you can learn by assigning Growth Points, there are also skills you can learn by deepening interactions between specific characters. Each time you advance to a higher class, the amount of skills you can equip will increase.
Abilities
By equipping the skills you learned, you can acquire various effects. There are more than 300 skills in the game, from specific character skills to exclusive class skills and more.
Linking skills
Some skills can be equipped for group members other than the character who learned the skill. These can be obtained by assigning Growth Points, as well as through interactions with people you find in the adventure.
Exclusive skills
After a "class change", you can learn the unique skills of that class. Exclusive skills do not need to be equipped, their effects are activated automatically.
■ New item: appearance change and class reset
Apart from leveling up, you can strengthen your characters through class change. By changing classes, you can learn new special movements and magic. The class change has phases, which allows you to choose between a path of "Light" or "Darkness", and your character's abilities will change depending on your choice. A new "Class Restoration" feature has also been added to the game, which allows you to return to your initial class using the "Goddess Scales."
The change of class not only changes the appearance of your equipped weapon, but also changes your costume in a big way. After a class change, it is also possible to change to the appearance of a lower class while maintaining the skills of your current class. Choose your favorite costume for each character.
As with a class change, when speaking with a mana stone with the goddess scales obtained, you can perform a "Class Restoration." The goddess's scales are hidden somewhere in a treasure chest. It seems to be a very difficult object to find.
■ New element: meetings with friends
When you enter a city, the team will split and the protagonist will move alone. Members of your group will be somewhere in the city doing various things, so if you find them, talk to them.
■ Seeds and seeders
By planting the seeds that are in the field and that the monsters drop in the pots located at the entrance of each inn, you can get items and equipment.
There are five types of seeds: "Seeds of articles", "Seeds of silver articles", "Seeds of gold articles", "Seeds of rainbow articles" and "Seeds ???". Your "Planter Level" will increase depending on the amount of seeds you plant. The higher your level, the greater the chances that your seeds will produce good objects, and the greater the chances that the monsters will drop seeds.
Seeds of articles, seeds of silver articles, seeds of gold articles and seeds of rainbow articles
These seeds grow several different items and equipment. Items are classified by silver, gold and rainbow, from worst to best in that order. Rainbows can produce rare equipment that other seeds cannot.
Seeds ???
These seeds produce items necessary for a class change. The way in which they can be obtained has been adjusted, for example, they are now available in dungeon treasure chests.
■ Other useful features
New objects
Items that increase the amount of EXP and GP you receive after the battle have been added, as well as those that increase your stats for a fixed period of time. Items can be found in places like treasure chests in the city and in the countryside.
Shortcuts
Up to four frequently used commands of the special elements and abilities set in the Arc Command can be registered as shortcuts, allowing you to use them quickly and easily.
Collective recovery
Apart from the battle, recovery objects and recovery magic can be used on all characters collectively. Choose if you want to use "Full recovery" or "Almost complete recovery" depending on how many items you have and MP you have left.
What do you think of this information? Remember that the game will be released worldwide on April 24.
