A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Secret of Mana 2, when I was a kid in the 90'. I knew back then it was released in Japan, and I was waiting for it in Europe. โฆ and it never happened. ๐ I think I've seen they finally translated it recently, as a retrogame, but hey, my tastes and priorities changed a bit in 30 years.
That's actually the third in the series (Seiken Densetsu 3) and also known as Trials of Mana, released in Japan in 1995. A fan translation was actually completed in 1999 and kinda big news so you could have played it way back then if you were able to run a ROM patch. But the official translation to English wasn't released until 2019.
Oh yeah, indeed, there was Mystic Quest (the european name for the first game) before. Although, it was such a different beast it's only with Wikipedia later that I discovered the two games were related.
Oh really? Nice, I missed that. But well, I didn't speak English either back then, so it probably wouldn't have helped. :)
