And you'd think the rpg designers nowadays would learn from this...

Btw, does anyone know if Seiken Densetsu I exists? Secret of Mana (US name) is Seiken Densetsu 2, and the SoM2 is the third one. Legend of mana for the ps1 is number 4. But I've no clue what or if there's a 1. It's a little odd to start a series at 2.
