SQ107: SECRET of MANA (reprint)

[zierts]

*Finally* a listing of the US album went up on eBay with some photos. I fixed the English track list based on these. Actual scans would be better but I'm not willing to pay the ridiculous $200 asking price.

I refrained from making changes to the other albums N25D-019, PSCN-5030, NTCP-5030, SQEX-10249~68 and MW-016 since Square Enix changed the track list slightly for the iTunes release. Among revisions to punctuation and capitalization, they notably fixed the "Prophesy" typo to become "Prophecy".

I wasn't aware the need for good scans was so dire. I've uploaded some new ones scanned from my copy, including the missing interior and back.

Thanks a lot for your efforts! These are great. Out of the three US albums Square Soft released, Secret of Mana was the most elusive online. I've never even seen low-res images of the track list. The only one we had decent scans for is Secret of Evermore.

We have the same problem with Kefka's Domain.
The booklet in particular. I only uploaded a crappy low-res image from Discogs some years ago.

I have this one in my collection too, I can scan and upload it later this week.

Incidentally, I uploaded the scans to Discogs as well. Might as well make sure they are widely seen and whatnot.

Oh, that sounds great! I'll get to fully scanning Secret of Evermore eventually once I own the album.

These are little pieces of video game history. I think the track titles were translated by Ted Woolsey, just like the games.

I, uh, have that one too. Yeah, I completed the set. Do I need to scan it as well to round out the trio?

Our resident Square Soft superfan! 😂 I'd rate Secret of Evermore low priority as we have most of it along with the track list. But I'd be the last one to stop you if you were to complete it. I am just happy you contributed the missing ones which were hard to get!
