[edit]This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Mana series for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:
The Mana series, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu (聖剣伝説, lit. "Legend of the Sacred Sword"), is a high-fantasy action role-playing game series from Square (now Square Enix), created by Koichi Ishii. The series began with the 1999 Game Boy game Seiken Densetsu (Final Fantasy Adventure) as a handheld side story to Square's flagship franchise Final Fantasy, though the Final Fantasy-inspired elements were subsequently dropped starting with the second installment, Secret of Mana, as the games became their own series. It has since grown to include games of various genres within the fictional world of Mana, with recurring stories involving a world tree, its associated holy sword, and the fight against forces that would steal their power. Several character designs, creatures, and musical themes reappear frequently.
When I nominated this topic for GT last year, I felt pretty confident that it was finalized, and that no more articles would be created. I was wrong, as it turns out! ProtoDrake proved himself again a master of finding Japanese sources to build a GA for the free-to-play mobile game Rise of Mana, and when Square Enix went ahead and released another mobile game in the series this February, IDV and Judgesurreal777 outdid themselves in creating an article for the mobile game Adventures of Mana the day after it was released, and getting it to GA within a few weeks. (Also, I got Seiken Densetsu 3 to FA in a slow-moving attempt to get the topic to FT level).
Anyways, we now have 2 more GAs that need to be added to the now-once-again-complete topic. I won't say that we'll never be here again... but it should, at least, be a while. --PresN 18:18, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
