This installment of the series takes place in the world of Fa'diel on the island of Illusia where, at the center of the island, stands the famous Tree of Mana. Several years ago, on the island of Illusia, an event known the "great disaster" took place at the base of the Mana Tree and many lives were lost. During this event, a brave young boy and girl used the Sword of Mana to save the world from disaster. Now, years later, a group of orphans sets out to investigate the details of the event that took so many loved ones away from them. The player must journey through the rest of Fa'diel's five continents of Jadd, Topple, Wendell, Ishe, and Lorimar to complete the game, traveling to the other continents by riding Flammie from place to place using the "Flammie Drum." Save the Mana Tree - from itself! Take up sword, flail, bow, and hammer, and strike back at the evil that corrupts the heart of Mana. Choose from over 180 magic gems to customize your characters with new skills and abilities to prepare for fast-paced battles. Call in up to three friends to help with your adventure in a local wireless game - get some help in a pinch, or just team up and explore!
