I'll review this~! Will be done within a day or two.--Alexandra^IDV 14:57, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

• Would recommend mentioning the year the original Trials of Mana was released to give context]
  • Added.
• "amid public demand for a Western release" is ambiguous and could refer to demand for a Western release of the original Trials of Mana or for the Secret of Mana remake.
  • I've rewritten that bit.
• The article body only mentions a general "Unreal Engine", while the infobox says "Unreal Engine 4", and the programmer Sadakazu Motoori is only mentioned in the infobox.
  • That was an addition by another user. I usually include programming staff out of habit, but I've removed him.

Content

• Would recommend having one screenshot of the original game and one of the remake, of the same area or of otherwise comparable gameplay, as this would greatly improve a reader's understanding of what the remake did.
  • Added a screenshot from the original game used in that game's article, which coincidentally has the same party composition battling another boss from that part of the game. I've updated that image's rationale.

Development

• "When originally released, Trials of Mana was not localized outside of Japan, where it was released as Seiken Densetsu 3." - since the SNES game and the remake share the same name, you should make it clear which of the two you're referring to.
  • Sorted.
• Do we know when the physical OST album was delayed to? Is it out yet?
  • Info added.

Release

• "was announced in June 2019 at that year's Electronic Entertainment Expo" - I don't think "at that year's" is necessary, it's not like E3 2018 or whatever would happen in June 2019.
  • Done.

Reception

• I would avoid listing a lot of MC scores in the prose, especially since the scores are listed in the table, and just say what they mean - the PS4 and PC versions were well received, the Switch version received mixed or average reviews.
  • Done.

Things I noticed that are not strictly necessary to address to meet the GA criteria

• The images do not have any alt text, which would be very helpful to readers with impaired vision.
  • Added.

@ProtoDrake: Looking pretty good~! I have put the review on hold for seven days while awaiting improvements or responses to the notes I made - @ me if you have any questions or when you have addressed the issues.--Alexandra^IDV 10:06, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@Alexandra IDV: I should have addressed all your concerns above. --ProtoDrake (talk) 12:18, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@ProtoDrake: Thank you! I will go ahead and promote this to GA now~! --Alexandra^IDV 12:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
