The official website includes an “English” option in the upper left corner, but it currently cannot be selected. Coupled with a recent trademark in Europe (and Canada), we can infer the game will be likely be titled Adventures of Mana when it launches in English.

■ Prologue
Towering high above the clouds on Mount Illusia…
Enshrined at the mountain’s peak is the worshiped Tree of Mana
The Tree of Mana that perceives all the power of the universe and grows on its energy
Legend says that those who touch the tree will obtain eternal power…
The Glaive Empire’s Shadow Knight is planning to use its power to conquer the world through slaughter and dismay
As “Battle Servants” of the Glaive Kingdom, the heroes are put to work by the Shadow Knight
For his own amusement, the Shadow Knight forces his Battle Servants to fight monsters in deadly combat
Each day, they’re taken from their jail to fight for their lives, and each day’s victory earns them just enough food to survive another day
But the injuries caused by repeated fights and the irrecoverable fatigue caused the Servants to fall one by one…
