Secret of Mana was originally developed and planned to be released for the SNES CD ROM extension (named Playstation!). It had way more content, graphics and music in CD quality. But, as we know, Nintendo suddenly stopped the plans for CD ROM and Sony created the Playstation therefore. And this angered Squaresoft too, as they had to rework the game and create a cut down version for the cartridge, and it was still more expensive compared to CD too. And later when Nintendo went with carts on N64 again, they had enough and developed Final Fantasy 7 for the Playstation.

A lot of concept art that I’ve never seen before for Chrono Trigger & SoM. I wish I had a coffee book for it.
