Introduction
Welcome to the World of Visions of Mana
Visions of Mana marks the latest grand adventure in the beloved Mana series, a lineage born as a spin-off from Square’s iconic early Final Fantasy titles. Standing as the 5th main installment, Visions of Mana carries the torch of recurring names and narrative threads familiar to fans, yet distinguishes itself with gameplay mechanics unique to each iteration. Notably, many past Mana games have been lovingly remade, showcasing the series’ enduring appeal.
While Square Enix, as the company is now known, has been the primary developer for most Mana games, Visions of Mana was entrusted to Ouka Studios. Intriguingly, Ouka Studios faced an unfortunate closure coinciding with the game’s release date.
