42 Year have past. Long enough for the world to heal. Long enough to forget the horrors of the war that almost claimed not only our lives, but that of our entire world. From the east came the Empire, their mecha and weapons soon overwhelmed the defenders of the Allied Kingdoms but, they were beaten.
Three warrior from the Kingdom Domen stood against the tide of chaos when no one else could. Wielding the powers of the eight great elements of mana, the heroes beat back the empire. However, the aftermath of what we today call the Second Imperial War was high indeed. The Empire lies in ruins, the allied kingdoms threaten to break apart from within, and Mana, the source of all magic, has vanished.

concerning the rock textures it may be personal opinion but When I looked at a fairly close up screen shot (about 10 ft away from the camera) It was a really pixilated mess
To be honest... when i started following you guys... a looong tinme ago... i was sure this wuld die... But no, you guys are still here. Thanks for this mod, im as syked as i was when i was wating for hl2 :D
I happen to think that the rock textures are fine :|
I like it. amazing level, animal, and plant design and for the most part (95%) the texturing is really niece. but that rock texture is Fugly beyond belief. but the rock texture doesn't matter, still looking forward to it. good work, keep it up.
Maps connected to a big world yeah
Im sure this is a kickass mod.
Will it be one big world, or just maps ?
I have never liked nor played a lot with games such as the base for this mod, i allways thought of this as "stupid, pseudo rpg waste of time" - don't be furious, this is only my opinion :P . But when I saw these desert screenshots I felt kind of "at home" and only after some time I figured it out that this desert looks very similar to that from Gothic II - Night of the Raven :> . So based on this similarity I think I'll wath your mod, just to see what will it become over time. Just one thing, PLEASE make Return to Mana just a little more rpg than shit series like FF or other manga-looking pseudo rpg's ;P .
Salute AnO
I've never played anything from this series, but when i saw those screenshots the first thing i thought was "WOW that looks way better than source"
It's looking REALLY good :)
Not to deterr from the subject which should be of the mod.
I don't care what you say, as along as you don't downgrade yourself by saying things such as:
' Stop being so faggity and get a life'
No matter what the reason is, this is the type of thing that SHOULD get punished in a gaming forum.
What kind of queer game is this?
