Secret of Mana gets a ridiculously gorgeous fan-made animated tribute

There was a time when the Mana series was dormant for years and years, but we're certainly not living in that era now. Square-Enix has embraced the series with Trials of Mana, Collection of Mana, and interest in a new installment. Of course, none of that would have happened without the original, Secret of Mana.

What better way to pay tribute to the classic than with an animated tribute? The video above was put together by Benoit Tranchet, and he's created something truly special. This feels like a high-quality intro you would have seen in the early Playstation days. Man, I'd love to see more games do something like this nowadays.
