Xbox Developer Direct – Vision Of Mana

The new gameplay and behind-the-scenes footage provides fans and newcomers alike with a closer look at some of the latest gameplay features, monsters, and creatures in Visions of Mana. Mana Series Producer Masaru Oyamada, revealed new details about Visions of Mana's combat, including the new addition of the aerial combat system, which will take players to new heights during battle and enable physical attacks with weapons and magic attacks mid-air. Fans can also expect to see the return of the series staple, the Elementals. These assist players during battle in the form of specialized items, with each weapon producing a different effect in combat according to its respective element, allowing for a fast-paced, flexible fighting style. Players were also introduced to a new companion they can expect to encounter in Visions of Mana called the "pikuls." Designed by Mana Series Creator Koichi Ishii, the adorable new companion takes inspiration from animals and mythology and will help players traverse the game's expansive ground map as they explore the vibrant world in Visions of Mana.
