It's still a little while away from February, but Square Enix is keeping us hungry with Secret of Mana's latest video.

Secret of Mana was originally released in 1993, though the game is now getting a 3D makeover for the modern gamer. I know, it sounds curious, but it'll still be totally recognisable as one of the greatest RPGs of the age.

In just under two minutes, the video shows off a gorgeous cinematic which has a bit of 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind'-feel about it, but maybe that's just me. The brief introduction tells us what Mana is and how humans began to misuse the mysterious power, angering the gods in turn.

It's a nice build up in what's becoming a slowly agonising wait for Secret of Mana, coming to PlayStation Vita on February 15th 2018.
