secrect of mana is one of my favorite games for snes. it's like a zelda game with rpg elements. but secrect of mana 2 (seiken denstsu 3) is much better. the mana game for psx is good too but against the other games it sucks.
to the other games you ask for i can't say so much because i don't played these games. but i played tales of phantasia it's much like tales of destiny and i think it's realy fun. cool fighting system and for snes awsome graphiks and i think it's the only snes game where you hear the chars talk.
