A classic PS1 RPG is coming to PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC this summer.

And as expected, with the remastering comes updates and improvements that do not radically change or overhaul a game, but give it a touch of modernity.

“In place of the protagonist, players will embark on a journey to find the mystical Tree Mana seen in a dream, only to discover that the world map is empty,” says an official remaster speech. “Throughout the adventure, they will acquire special artifacts, which can be placed on the map to bring cities and dungeons to life through the Land Creation system. Players can progress through the story in different ways based on the choices they make, offering personal and unique gaming experience. “
