The world of Seiken Densetsu 3 is set in the same realm as its predecessors, Final Fantasy Adventure and Secret of Mana . The power of Mana is at the heart of all events in this game. Years have passed since the destructive powers of Mana were sealed by Mana Swords into eight seeds, each placed in a different kingdom. However, some individuals are aware of these sealed powers and wish to unleash them for their own gain, such as the kingdom of Altena, which is slowly freezing.
The game features multiple plot lines connected by a shared background. At the beginning of the game, you are offered to choose a group of three characters from six different classes: Duran the Fighter, Angela the Magic User, Lisa the Amazon, Carlie the Cleric, Kevin the Grappler, and Hawk the Thief. Each character has their own backstory and resides in a distinct land. As the game progresses, the connections between these characters become apparent, and their seemingly unrelated storylines are woven into a cohesive narrative.
Seiken Densetsu 3 , like its predecessor, is an action RPG with real-time combat.
