Let's stop kidding ourselves for a minute here. It's not as if Seiken Densetsu IV, with its infinitely small budget in comparison to Nintendo's upcoming heavyhitter Twilight Princess, is even remotely going to produce anything substantially important. It will be a solid adventure game. You will play a hero who is cast out from his homeland and sent to find the Sword of Mana, save the Mana Tree by collecting seeds that come with assorted magical elements, meet strange beings and people, and ride a magical dragon. All to stop the evil empire from upsetting the ecological balance of the world with his evil deeds.

And the whole reason Zelda and Mana remain appealing is because they don't joke around with themselves and try to be something they're not. They're the boy who goes on an adventure and saves the world stories that play great. That's all they'll ever be.

it's depressing. it almost makes me want to shut down the site. all because of nataru.  

yes. i am depressed. and depression is not the same as love.

no. (haha!)
