The Mana series, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu (聖剣伝説, lit. "Legend of the Sacred Sword"), is a high-fantasy action role-playing game series from Square (now Square Enix), created by Koichi Ishii. The series began with the 1999 Game Boy game Seiken Densetsu ( Final Fantasy Adventure) as a handheld side story to Square's flagship franchise Final Fantasy, though the Final Fantasy-inspired elements were subsequently dropped starting with the second installment, Secret of Mana, as the games became their own series. It has since grown to include games of various genres within the fictional world of Mana, with recurring stories involving a world tree, its associated holy sword, and the fight against forces that would steal their power. Several character designs, creatures, and musical themes reappear frequently.
A year and a half ago, I decided to bring up first Secret of Mana, then Seiken Densetsu 3 to GA status—two of the best SNES RPGs/2D RPGs ever made. Once I had, though, I went ahead and finished off the whole series, bringing 7 articles to GA with 2 continuing on to FA (I had gotten the music article to GA years prior). Now that it's all done, we have here a tidy little Good Topic- a series article, 8 game articles, and 1 music article, for 3/10 FA and 7/10 GA. If I get any more to FA it won't be for quite a while, so I'm bringing the whole group to GTC now. I'd like to thank Kariteh (retired) and Judgesurreal777 (essentially retired) for getting the series article up to FA years ago (recently updated by me), and Lucia Black (retired) for getting Final Fantasy Adventure to GA in 2013. The image is a free icon of a tree that looked the most to me like the Mana Tree, the central icon of the franchise; there isn't a good free image directly from the games available. Thanks all for reviewing! -- Pres N 18:23, 13 July 2015 (UTC) -- Pres N 18:23, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
