Children of Mana is the first game of the World of Mana and was developed by Nex Entertainment under the supervision of Koichi Ishii.
According to producer Koichi Ishii, Dawn of Mana is the first game chronologically in the Mana series, showing the origins of both the Mana Tree and the Spirits of Mana.
On Heroes of Mana, development of an Real-time strategy game became so difficulty they had to start development all over at one point.

Another challenge of game development was due to the Japanese gaming audiences lack of familiarity with an RTS style of gaming.

Koichi Ishii directed Final Fantasy I, II, and III, as well as SaGa Frontier.
SaGa Frontier was developed by the then-Square Production Team 2 (referred to as 2nd Division in the game) with Akitoshi Kawazu as director and producer, Koichi Ishii as planning chief, Kenji Ito as composer, and Tomomi Kobayashi as illustrator.
