About Seiken Densetsu 3

[[link:http://www.uvlist.net/game-6408 Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana)]] goodness with better graphics and music. This time around there are six characters to choose from and each have their own storyline in the beginning of the game. You can choose 3 characters to be in your party, and the story dialogue (and possibly the story progression) will change slightly depending on who is in your party. You can also choose to develop your characters into different classes to suit your playing-style. Each character specializes in one type of weapon instead of being able to use any weapon like in SD2. SD3 boasts some of the most beautiful graphics on the SNES and is, in my opinion, one of the best RPG's for the SNES (or for any system for that matter).

Although SD3 has 3 characters in the party, only two are controllable by players. This patch makes it possible for the 3rd character to be controlled by players:

There's also a nifty utility that lets you edit the save game SRAM files called ST_SD3:
