Secret of Mana: Reborn

Secret of Mana: Reborn is the first comprehensive script remaster since the game’s release in 1993.

The Super Nintendo release suffered from censorship, space limitations, and time constraints. The 2018 remake’s script was heavily derivative of its predecessor, adding only a fraction of the remaining content and leaving thousands of words untranslated. Finally, even Seiken Densetsu 2’s script is often vague and inconsistent, due in no small part to the game’s erratic development. An opportunity has been taken not only to localize the script, but also to explore and iron out some of these elements.

Secret of Mana: Reborn features:

- a complete retranslation of the original Japanese script, the first of its kind

- some minor alterations that clarify vagaries and inconsistencies in the text and the plot itself

- new events and content based on exhaustive research of authentic external materials, most of which were never translated into English

- memorable elements of both Ted Woolsey’s script and the Japanese script

elements that were omitted from both the American and Japanese releases of the game
