Music of the Mana series
The ''Mana'' series, known in Japan as , is a role-playing video game series from Square Enix, created by Koichi Ishii. The series began as a handheld side story to Square's flagship franchise ''Final Fantasy'', although most ''Final Fantasy''-inspired elements were subsequently dropped, starting with the second installment, ''Secret of Mana''. It has since grown to include games of various genres within the fictional world of Mana. The music of the ''Mana'' series includes soundtracks and arranged albums of music from the series, which is currently composed of ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' and its remake ''Sword of Mana'', ''Secret of Mana'', ''Seiken Densetsu 3'', ''Legend of Mana'', ''Dawn of Mana'', ''Children of Mana'', ''Friends of Mana'', ''Heroes of Mana'', ''Circle of Mana'', and ''Rise of Mana''. Each game except for ''Friends'' and ''Circle'' has produced a soundtrack album, while ''Adventure'' has sparked an arranged album as well as a combined soundtrack and arranged album, ''Legend of Mana'' has an additional promotional EP, and music from ''Secret'' and ''Seiken Densetsu 3'' were combined together into an arranged album. For the series' 20th anniversary, a 20-disc box set of previously-released albums was produced, as well as an album of arrangements by Kenji Ito, composer for several games in the series.
The music of ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' was composed by Kenji Ito, while Hiroki Kikuta composed ''Secret of Mana'' and ''Seiken Densetsu 3'' and Yoko Shimomura wrote the score to ''Legend of Mana''. The music of the ''World of Mana'' subseries, composed of ''Children'', ''Dawn'', ''Friends'', and ''Heroes of Mana'', was composed by many different composers, with Ito, Kikuta, Shimomura, Tsuyoshi Sekito, Masayoshi Soken, and Ryuichi Sakamoto composing ''Dawn'', Ito, Masaharu Iwata, and Takayuki Aihara writing ''Children'', and Shimomura composing the music of ''Friends'' and ''Heroes''. ''Rise of Mana'' was composed by an ensemble group including Ito, Kikuta, Shimomura, Sekito, Yasuhiro Yamanaka, and Kokia. Music from the series has been performed in live concerts such as the ''Orchestral Game Concerts'' and the ''Symphonic Game Music Concerts'', and made up one fourth of the ''Symphonic Fantasies'' concert in Cologne, Germany. Music from the ''Mana'' series has also been arranged for the piano and published as sheet music books.
==''Final Fantasy Adventure''==
''Final Fantasy Adventure'', released as ''Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden'' in Japan and ''Mystic Quest'' in Europe and marketed as a ''Final Fantasy'' spin-off, was composed by Kenji Ito; it was his second original score after that of ''SaGa 2'' and his first solo work.〔〔 The game was released in 1991 on the original Game Boy. It was remade in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance as ''Sword of Mana'', in which features of the original game were reworked to be brought more in line with the direction the ''Mana'' series had taken with the later games, fully severing the series from the ''Final Fantasy'' series the original game was nominally a spin-off of.〔 Ito was also the composer for the 2003 ''Sword of Mana'', for which he remixed some pieces from ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' as well as composing new ones.〔 Ito's music is mainly inspired by images from the game rather than outside influences; however, he never played the games themselves.〔〔 ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' received a soundtrack album and an arranged album, which were later released again as a single album. ''Sword of Mana'' also sparked a soundtrack album.
