I don’t regret this decision, as the three’s combat styles compliment each other very well, but I was very disappointed in how little they interacted with each other until the endgame quests.
Not knowing this, for my initial playthrough I chose Angela as my protagonist accompanied by Kevin and Riez, all of whom have different scenarios. This means that the characters are divided into pairs, if the two are together you’ll see much more dialogue between the two about the plot. Your choice in protagonist has the most effect on the story, with three overall paths it can take. Or maybe you want a more atypical hero, like the rougeish thief Hawkeye, the childish healer Charlotte, and the selfish mage Angela. There’s the typical swordsman eager to prove himself Duran, the naive yet goodhearted Kevin, and the responsible elder sister princess Riez. Trials of Mana’s six potential protagonists are quite an eclectic cast of characters. Trials of Mana is indeed a worthy successor to Secret of Mana, but players may find that it has more in common than Secret of Evermore than you might think. While Trials of Mana’s Super Nintendo debut wasn’t released outside of japan until the Collection of Mana (and Evermore still hasn’t been released in Japan), the game has now been completely remade in 3D, adding even more content after the main story. Trials also took a step back on the multiplayer, allowing only two players this time, but allowed players to choose three of six of the game’s heroes for their party, changing certain story elements depending on who you choose as your protagonist and their two companions.
Evermore removed the multiplayer and ring menu aspects, and focused more on weapon variety and an in depth magic system through alchemy. Both games took inspiration from their predecessor, but went in very different directions. Meanwhile, an american team at SquareSoft released another sequel to the same title, Secret of Evermore. Trials of Mana originally released to a Japanese audience in 1995 as a sequel to the popular, multiplayer RPG Secret of Mana.
