BGMania B-Sides #31 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth explores the enchanting orchestral soundtrack of Adventures of Mana, the beloved action-RPG remake from Square Enix.

The sweeping soundtrack serves as the perfect companion for the Mana Tree's magical world, featuring an incredible collection of tracks with lush string arrangements and mystical melodic themes. Reimagined by composer Kenji Ito alongside new arrangements, the music beautifully captures the wonder and adventure at the heart of both the original Final Fantasy Adventure and this modern retelling.
