Ryuki Ishii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>On September 27, Square Enix has announced that the original Japanese font of <em><strong>Legend of Mana<\/strong> <\/em>is now available in the remastered version of the game, with the latest ver 1.1.0 update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This font update was first announced in June, shortly after the game&#8217;s release (see <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20210627-166843\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related article<\/a> in Japanese). And now, three months after the initial launch, Koji Tsuda\u2019s hand-crafted font is finally back. Again, the patch note specifically mentions that the newly added pixel art font is for the Japanese language only. If you are playing in Japanese, you can choose it from the font selection in the options menu. The old-school font will surely bring back some nostalgic vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">Switch\/PS4\/Steam\u300e\u8056\u5263\u4f1d\u8aac Legend of Mana\u300f<br>ver1.1.0 \u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\u30c7\u30fc\u30c8\u306e\u304a\u77e5\u3089\u305b\ud83d\udca1<br><br>\u672c\u65e5\u3001\u30aa\u30ea\u30b8\u30ca\u30eb\u7248\u306e\u30d5\u30a9\u30f3\u30c8\u8ffd\u52a0\u3092\u306f\u3058\u3081\u3068\u3059\u308b\u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\u30c7\u30fc\u30c8\u3092\u5b9f\u65bd\u3044\u305f\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<br>\u5f15\u304d\u7d9a\u304d\u8056\u5263\u4f1d\u8aacLoM\u3092\u304a\u697d\u3057\u307f\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u2728<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E8%81%96%E5%89%A3%E4%BC%9D%E8%AA%ACLoM?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u8056\u5263\u4f1d\u8aacLoM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E8%81%96%E5%89%A3%E4%BC%9D%E8%AA%AC30%E5%91%A8%E5%B9%B4?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u8056\u5263\u4f1d\u8aac30\u5468\u5e74<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/73LbeE7TeN\">pic.twitter.com\/73LbeE7TeN<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u8056\u5263\u4f1d\u8aac -\u516c\u5f0f- (@Seiken_PR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Seiken_PR\/status\/1442443616794808323?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, a third font option has also been added to the game. The new font is simply called \u201carranged\u201d in Japanese. It is a thin-looking font that is easy to read and quite elegant. All of a sudden, Japanese players can now choose from not two but three font options. It might be fun to switch between the three fonts and compare them as you play.<br>[UPDATE 2021\/09\/27 23:10 JST] fixed the font description in the paragraph above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than the addition of fonts, a small improvement was made to the icon display while Encounter Off or the 2P mode is on. To be more specific, mode icons will now display for a few seconds after moving to a new location, making it easier to check which mode is on. Minor bug fixes were applied as well, so this might be a good opportunity to jump into the game, even for players who have already finished it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210927-177098-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Legend of Mana<\/em> is an action RPG originally released for PlayStation in July 1999 (JP version).
