Translation SNES / Super Famicom

Seiken Densetsu 3 English translation

聖剣伝説3 · Trials of Mana

The classic fan translation that let English speakers play Square's sequel to Secret of Mana two decades before its official release.

The game

Like Secret of Mana, this is a real-time action RPG seen from above, with ring menus and party members fighting alongside you. You build a party of three from six characters with their own openings and motives, and reaching certain levels lets each one pick a light or dark class, which changes their skills and spells.

What's translated

This patch puts the whole game into English. Neill Corlett designed the patch and edited the script, Lina`chan and Nuku-nuku translated it, and SoM2Freak helped with other parts. Version 1.01 dates from 2000. The game has since been released officially in English as Trials of Mana.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese game following the readme. The patch's page on romhacking.net has the download and details.
