Implies that the previous one wasn't...
Quote:What they could do is have a regular Mana game, but you could play the multiplayer mode with people online.
Like how? A co-op campaign? There are all kinds of issues with those... it could be good, but there are defininitely hurdles. I mean, it is a fairly crowded genre, but a lot of them show the problems... you can sacrifice the single player (Gauntlet, Zelda: FSA, FFCC, etc), or have the multi as a tacked-on thing that doesn't work for most people (I know it's a different kind of RPG, but I could cite Baldur's Gate here!)... still, it'd be nice to see. Sword of Mana had an obvious place for 2-player gameplay and it was dissapointing that second players couldn't join in (that's a great way to do co-op -- as a character that'd be there anyway and you can just switch between human and comp. Like Tales of Symphonia.)...
