Name the best party and class combos or your a faggot.

>>724180808 (OP)
I havent play this yet, but for the looks of the characters i'd say its Knight, slut and the potato. Add the blonde with the spear if 4 niggas instead of 3

>>724180808 (OP)
i want it to be anyone but kevin but unfortunately it's kevin, the others are all inconsequential

Any combo that lets you fight Belladonna in her true form

>>724182807
I like how it's just universally agreed that Hawkeye's light classes suck. At least in the original.

>>724180808 (OP)
God Hand
Vanadis
Nightblade

>>724180808 (OP)
Lise+whatever other 2 because she's the cutest and the only semi interesting character of the 6
The game is boring and plays pretty much the same no matter what you do, just pick whatever does the most damage to reduce boss fight boredom

>>724183506
>Vanadis
The real Trial of Mana was trying not to fap to those pantyhose every 5 seconds.

1. Angela - so you can fight black rabite
2. Lise - for eye candy (go dark for debuffs, buffs can be bought)
3. Kevin - to solo the game

>>724184308
Angela's spells trigger black rabite's counters though, don't they? Or are you just better using them on the demons he summons>

>>724184434
idk I cheated to instantly explode it. You need her or Duran for access to the location.

>>724185267
Duran is a good tank/emergency-healer though, with solid enough physicals. Kevin's not bad if he went light, but he's better off punching shit unless you're REALLY getting beat on. Also, I didn't realize until recently that item seeds can be used for low-power party healing. I knew promotion items had special effects, but that's also cool.

>>724180808 (OP)
the nortubel party and nortubel class

>1. Angela - for eye candy

Fixed

>>724182807
Why Paladin? Isn't that a terrible class?

>>724191061
Not him, but I guess for the sake of Saint Saber? But you can buy the item for it, so maybe he meant to put Lord, since at least you get a party heal and pinch status heal spells. That or the Paladin Shield is the only one that works, since I remember hearing there was some sort of bug with shields in the original to where only the first and "best" ones work and none of the others do. I don't know if Lord's shield works or not, but IIRC Paladin's does?

reminder to use the fix patch, it works with the translation and 3 player patches as well

Played the som combo. Smol and big girl and boy with knives.

Checked GameFAQs
>There is however one exception - the Oath Shield that the Lord can randomly get from a Weapon/Armor seed will make Duran immune to Poison, Moogle, Sleep and Chibikko status. If you're going to equip any shield on Duran, make it that one.
Yeah, I really don't know why he said to use Paladin then. Maybe since it's the "intended canon" route for Duran? Fuck if I know.

Chawwotte is the best, dechi!!1

The theorycrafting for this game mainly centers around whether you want the stronger class with single-target spells or the slightly weaker one with multi-target spells.
In the case of the Paladin, if you've already decided to take Duran on the light path then it has better stats and a better full-screen tech than the alternative, the Lord, who gets to multi-target his healing spells.

It's arguable, but I think having cooler classes is the better choice unless you really want that convenience. You can get healing and elemental buffs from items, the only ones you can't get from items are Lise's stat buffs and Hawkeye's stat debuffs.
(Talking about the snes version).

>>724191797
Did they ever fix the 3-player patch to stop randomly crashing? I don't know if it's still an issue, but I remember it being brought up in a basement brothers video a few years ago, so I've always been too worried to try it.

>>724192252
i played with all 3 patches a few years ago on ra with bsnes core and didnt have any crashes

>>724192174
You can buy single-target stat buffs, and you probably won't need more than 3 uses per member (the full 9) in any fight outside of maybe black rabite or some other fights where you get slapped with debuffs often. You can't buy debuffs nor multi-target buffs though. You have to win the former from enemies and the latter is pretty much only obtainable from class-change items, as far as I know.
>>724192365
Oh that's cool. Good to know. I wonder if it works on the Italian patch, as I wanted to try that to bone up on my studies a bit.

>>724180808 (OP)
I remember Dark/Dark Kevin shitting out damage. You could combine that with Light/Dark Reisz for buffs and Dark Hawkeye for debuffs. That does leave out saber buffs but you can make do with items.

>>724180808 (OP)
Angela, Duran, and Kevin

I feel like it would be painful going back to the SNES version's combat system.

>>724180808 (OP)
Angela and Lise, because they're waifus and I don't care if they're good or not.

For the last spot, skim a guide or something from the tryhards and pick something meta and then just outplay the mechanics or grind to make up whatever difference is left.

>>724192468
>You can't buy debuffs nor multi-target buffs though.
Right, I misremembered, so Nightblade Hawkeye is a lock for the best party. Star Lancer Lise and Swordmaster Duran would give the ez turn-1 party buff+saber, and Hawkeye debuffs.

i beat the original with Duran, Kevin, and Charlotte

Which Mana games can you travel by cannon? Those are the only good ones.

>>724192816
Anybody but Hawkeye because that's the one party that's completely incapable of healing.

>>724192684
It's still pretty competent, and the smaller maps means a faster game time for replays.

>>724192979
>Sword of Mana is better than Final Fantasy Adventure
Hot take, but you do you.

>>724193592
>Final Fantasy Adventure
Is that a Mana game? It sounds like it's a Final Fantasy game.

>>724193693
Nah, it's a Gemma Knights spinoff.

>>724180808 (OP)
Duran, angela, riesz. Duran, kevin and hawkeye also fun, i just don't like charlotte.

>>724182690
>remake
absolute faggotry

>>724194126
Charlotte is kinda wack. I'm trying her dark classes my main goal is Black Curse. I heard Demon Breath was pretty good, but I'd rather have some debuffs since I'm not using Riesz or Hawkeye.

>>724193059
Isn't Dark class Hawkeye capable of hitting enemies with status debuffs? Hit them with Blow Needles to silence them so you can use Tech skills without retaliation.
