Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu) crossover event

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKHjcnOGPhs

So the Mana (Seiken Densetsu) franchise is one of my favorites, so much so that I named my Free Company after it. There's a remake of its most famous and arguably most well-received games, Secret of Mana, coming in February on PS4, Vita, and Steam. Just a few months ago, Japan received Seiken Densetsu Collection, a compilation of ports of the first three games in the series slapped onto a Nintendo Switch card, as part of the 25th anniversary of the Seiken Densetsu series.

Why stop there?

I think FFXIV would be a wonderful place to keep the celebration of the series going, perhaps with glamour outfits of some of the characters, Minions of the elemental spirits used through the series, a Flammie mount(!!), or even orchestrion rolls with some of the most famous songs used throughout (Particularly Kikuta's work in Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 3 or Yoko Shimomura's amazing Legend of Mana tracks). This may be dreaming big, but I would absolutely DIE (and also unshelve summoner) if we were to somehow get Mana-themed Egi glamours.

I realize the series has never been as big as FF or Dragon Quest, but I know I can't be the only one who loves the Mana games. How about a show of support for the beautiful, charming underdog in Square's lineup?

I agree... love this game. And would love an FFXIV event.

the Mana series is one of the best ever made IMHO. Even if thwe games started being a bit more confuse from the PS1 era onward

Yes please! Imagine having emotes for each summon you could unlock... 0.0!

I love Secret of Mana! Yes, please!

Sounds good! Isn't there a remastered version coming out soon-ish as well? Sounds like a good time to do something and would also hype sales for the new game.

I was so stoked when I saw they remade Secret if Mana. I would love to see a crossover/promo event with elemental minions and possibly glamours based on the heroes.

A minion of each of the elementals and the SoM characters, thank you please.

Please take a ticket and wait in line because we still have not gotten our PSO2 collab yet...Not to mention ppl have also been asking for FFXV, Nier automata, DQ11 and MORE...

SoM is my favourite game, I still vividly remember buying it in the shop many years ago.

I'm always for more content so bring it on SE

(I've never played it, do you think the remake on Vita might be worth a try ?)

A world of yes.
Also just the SNES era please - it all got a bit rubbish after that.

Edit - just thought... Angela BLM outfit; Lise DRG outfit etc.. yes please.

Egi-Glamours. Now that's a new idea.

I'm still bitter about global FFRK never getting the crossover.

Considering there's the remake (AND IT LOOKS AMAZING), maybe? ;A; I hope.

just FYI it takes a year to plan out a crossover event. don't be surprised if there isn't one.

This should have been instead of Yo-kai or Power Rangers, lol
And Secret Of Mana i still remember to this day how great it was

Think they said if the remake does well, we might actually get a Seiken Densetsu 3 release outside of Japan. It'd be amazing to have a crossover event in FFXIV to help bolster this. Plus, I just really love the series. My husband and I had discussed a month or two ago how such a shame it was that the Seiken Densetsu series just seems to have fallen by the wayside for seemingly no reason. Hell, I heard of Seiken Densetsu first before I ever heard of Final Fantasy.

Ooh, so many replies since I was passed out like a lazy bum!

I do! In fact, there's a remake of the first game in the series called Adventures of Mana available on Vita and mobile devices, which came out a couple years ago. It's not as refined as SoM was, but you can see where the series started to get its roots, and because it was originally an FF spinoff (The Japanese title is Final Fantasy Gaiden: Seiken Densetsu) there are a few nods to the FF series, such as a chocobo, a moogle status effect, and even a Red Mage who helps you out early on in the game.

I know these kind of things take time, and I'm not really asking for MUCH (the stuff in my OP were just ideas tossed at a dartboard to see what sticks and not a list of demands), but even a small event that nods to the Mana series would be nice.

Why do I feel that any crossover event would involve us having to kill Flammie again, possibly as a FATE boss?

They better not....I wanna fly with Flammie...not SEND him flying.

But I am all on board with a SoM cross over! (And a Flammie mount!) I can't wait until the remake is here.

Gief Flammie mount!

I wouldn't mind a few more cross-over events frankly if they give some nice rewards and aren't just mindless fate farms.

While a cross-over event would be great (they got 6 months to release), I'd also take a gift code obtained through pre-ordering Secret of Mana.
As long as it comes with :
* Mana Beast mount
* Rabite minion
* At least one orchestrion scroll

Heck, I'd buy them from the mogstation as a last resort...

Rabite... it's like the Pikachu of Square Enix!

Im all for another event that is based in Gridania. =p

I would certainly love a Secret of Mana related event :D

I'm not sure how they would cross over but it cannot be "sillier" than the Yo-Kai crossover (which I enjoyed too).

Else like someone suggested just above , there could be FFXIV promotional code attached with the purchase of the Secret of Mana remake so we can get something like the Rabite minion for example.
