"Neill Corlett was one of the main people behind it. The following is what he had to say about the project:

Seiken Densetsu 3 is the true sequel to Secret of Mana. So if Seiken Densetsu 3 was officially released here, it would've been called Secret of Mana 2. Unlike previous action/RPG games of the time, Seiken Densetsu 3 was the first to give you the option to promote your characters to a different, better class. Along with each class are different abilities and spells."

So if --NEIL HIMSELF-- even said it would have been called SECRET OF MANA 2 why did you guys all jump in and flame me the first time I proposed an alternate loading title for the game? (other than just for the sheer pleasure of being jerks over the internet?) Its fine even if you decide to bash me and flame me again, because a friendly French team is already planning to use my PSD file... yep, damn those cheese eatin' surrender monkies! Maybe you can go bash them too, though I doubt they'll understand much of what you say to them! ^_^
