When it comes down to 2D RPG titles many people look at the early 90’s as the golden era in relation to that particular genre. In 1993, the world had the chance to see two amazing RPG titles on the SNES know as the Secret of Mana and the Illusion of Gaia. In terms which which game had more success overall many would probably argue in favor of the Secret of Mana. After since its release we had a chance to see the Secret of Mana ported for the PS4, Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation Vita.

Even though, The Illusion of Gaia was a pretty cool RPG title the game had only managed to sell around 150K in America while the Secret of Mana over 500K in the United States. While the Secret of Mana series had some type of sequel with the release of Seiken Densetsu 3 in 1995 The Illusion of Gaia never received one. There is no doubt that on a commercial level the Secret of Mana was more successful than the Illusion of Gaia.
