Mana Music Monday

Sheexy — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:51:35 +0000

Ahh school is getting incredibly hectic around here, so I don’t have much to say in this update. One of my classes has gotten to the point where instead of coming to class the teacher is letting us skip it so we have time to work on the multiple projects we have due soon.
I’ve picked a nice soft and calm track, I think everyone can appreciate music like that.

So sit back and relax a bit to this one:

Dawn of Mana ~ Opening Theme - Ryuichi Sakamoto

Unfortunately I spent all my relaxation time working on this update because my internet connection is so bad right now, but hey, what can you do?

- It’s that time of the week again, everybody! Let’s get started with some good Final Fantasy Adventure deals! Lots of people don’t have the map and manual that came with the game, so if you’re looking for one you should buy this map and manual set. Please note that that auction comes with the newer manual. If you want the older one you should buy this manual. The auction says it is missing the front cover, but the picture shows the front cover intact, so I’m not quite sure whether it has it or not.

- This Final Fantasy Adventure Basic Guidebook is kind of expensive, but you can make a lower offer and see if the seller will take you up on it. If you want the Japanese game, box and manual then look no further. It’s a bit expensive, but that is because it is rare. This is actually a pretty good price for it.

- Do you know what is not a good price? The price on this Sword of Mana Japanese Box Set. It comes with a Lil’ Cactus desk toy, and a Rabite finger puppet along with the game, but that price is much too high. I paid 30 dollars for mine, you shouldn’t have to pay much more than that.

- Did you know there was a special Gameboy Advance SP made in Japan for the release of Sword of Mana? If you want it you can buy this one! It comes with the Gameboy, the game, and a few other things. It also looks like the carrying case has a Rabite tag on it, that’s pretty neat!

- Buying Secret of Mana complete can be expensive, especially if everything is in good condition. But these two copies (One, Two) have the “make an offer” option, so you could maybe get them for cheaper.

- And to wrap it all up, you can pick up All Five Shiro Amano Legend of Mana Manga for a nice price here. Or if you want you can get both of (One, Two) for around the same price. See you all next week!

- B-but I barely got to talk!

Got iPhone or iPod Touch?

Now you can bookmark Seikens and get a nice icon in your iPhone/iPod Touch.

Isn’t this cute?

It is really tempting to just upload Harvest November from Seiken Densetsu 3 and call it a day, but I’m pretty sure that happens every November so I thought I’d mix it up a bit and choose something else.

In LoM the city known as Lumina in the English versions is called Roa in the Japanese version.

As far as updates go, probably pretty slow this week, unfortunately I’ve got some projects I’ve gotta take care of.
But I’ve got a lot of stuff in the works for updates, so I’ll get something up eventually!

Happy Halloween!

I hope you have a spooktacular day today, or something along those lines.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get my update I wanted for today done due to schoolwork and the likes, but you can still have your candy!

See, we’re one of the cool houses here at Seikens, we don’t just give you one piece of candy we give you two. That’s because we’re nice. And also, those aren’t just any candy and chocolate, they are the official Secret of Mana artwork for those two items. I think it’s really fun to know that the Chocolate has little Rabites stamped into it. Anyways, these and other official arts will be making their way into the Secret of Mana section as soon as I get some time on my hands again!

Happy Halloween!

- Whoa, there are a ton of good deals on eBay this week, so we’re gonna try to compact this as much as we can by running through items game by game! Ok Mr. Moti, you’re up first with Final Fantasy Adventure!

- I’d like to start off by linking you to this Japanese Copy of the Game, it’s at a pretty good price considering how rare it is! You should pick up this Seiken Densetsu Basic Guidebook too, it’s really cheap! It’s got all the awesome hand drawn items, weapons, armor and monsters in it! In fact, you could get From This Seller too!

-Secret of Mana has a basic guidebook like that as well. Here Is One for a good price, and the shipping is free as well! This other Secret of Mana Guidebook isn’t as good as the first one I linked to, but it has small one panel comics showing how to fight the bosses, and that is neat. If you want the map for the game you can Get the Map Alone or you can Get the Map with the Cartridge! Then you can buy The Manual and English Guidebook for your collection, and round it off with the Nintendo Power Poster!

- Great job Neko, that’s a ton of Secret of Mana stuff! As far as Seiken Densetsu 3 goes all I found was this Seiken Densetsu 3 Guidebook. It’s not as good as the other two guidebooks, but at this price you can’t complain!

- Now we’re running out of stuff! How about music? Get the Legend of Mana Soundtrack for a good price! Also you might look into getting this Pandora’s Vox 2 Doujin CD. I didn’t know this existed, but the first one is good so I imagine the second one would be too!

- I guess I’d better wrap it up here! You can’t go wrong buying the Children of Mana and Dawn of Mana Artbook. It’s really one of the best pieces of merchandise you can get.

- See you next week everyone, have a happy Halloween!

New Affiliate - Legendra RPG

We got a new Affiliate, it’s a site called Legendra RPG. It’s all in French but it’s a really cool site. If you can’t read French you can still enjoy the vast amount of RPG related media they have. And if you can understand French you can get a whole lot more information from their site.
Check them out:

They also gave us some Secret of Mana Mobile pictures that you can find in the Gallery.

Nintendo Power Scans

Sheexy — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:11:24 +0000

In honor of Secret of Mana Mobile being released, I’ve uploaded the remaining Nintendo Power issues into our gallery for your reading pleasure. Remember, if they’re too small you can click on them to download them in a bigger size which is 1000 pixels wide by however tall they are, varies from one to the next because I suck at scanning, but hey, they’re readable right? And I don’t think I cut off any pictures, so bonus points!
Volume 62
Volume 63
Volume 64

And just as a small hint of what’s to come in future updates, I’m going to leave this image here:

MMM Halloween Week

Sheexy — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:55:14 +0000

Well it’s the week before Halloween, so we’ve gotta have some creepy music right?

Here is Ceremony from Secret of Mana, probably the creepiest track any of the Seiken Densetsu games have to offer.

Ceremony - Hiroki Kikuta

But, since we almost always use Ceremony around Halloween, I’m also putting on another creepy track for your listening pleasure.

Sacrifice Part 1 - Hiroki Kikuta

And with that, this update is over, but be sure to check back later this week so you can get your Halloween candy.
