Legend of Mana – 1999 Developer Interview (Patreon)

http://shmuplations.com/legendofmana/

This lengthy Legend of Mana interview with both the story and battle teams was originally published in the official Ultimania guide. As expected of an entry in the exhaustive Ultimania series, it covers all aspects of the development, including the art design, music, battle systems, and the unique omnibus story approach taken by the writers. There’s also a nice vibe of camaraderie among the team as they joke and poke fun at each other; one gets the sense that this group of people very much enjoyed working together.
