Unrevisitable locations

Unrevisitable locations are locations accessed automatically during the storyline which cannot be returned to after a certain point in the game. They can typically be visited once and players aren't usually warned in-game that they won't be able to revisit them.

Final Fantasy Adventure & Adventures of Mana
The battle arena and prison in Glaive Castle is unrevisitable after Sumo slays a Jackal for the second time during the introduction.

The Airship can only be accessed before triggering the cutscene where Julius confronts Sumo on a catwalk while he attempts to rescue Fuji.

The Dime Tower can only be visited until Sumo and Marcie defeat the Garuda guarding the structure, as it will sink into Glass Desert once again.

Once the player completes Dime Tower and uses the waterfall near Glaive Castle to get access to the Mana Temple, the entire world map becomes inaccessible.

Secret of Mana & Secret of Mana HD
Potos Village and Potos Falls become inaccessible once the player agrees to leave his hometown to the male NPC on the village southern exit.

The Underground City and the Great Palace can only be visited during the emerged segment of the Sunken Continent and become inaccessible once the player fights the Snap Dragon in the Mana Palace.

Pure Land is only accessible after the Sunken Continent segment and before the party confront the Blue Dragon.

Trials of Mana & Trials of Mana HD
Many locations become inaccessible or otherwise restricted throughout the story:
 * While Astoria can be revisited after meeting up with Faerie, all buildings are destroyed and cannot be entered.
 * Stonesplit Gap cannot be crossed on foot after the bridge is destroyed. In the remake, the player must enter each pass from the north or south to collect any items on them.
 * Cascade Cavern is cut off from Rabite Forest after the second visit. In the remake, the player can enter via Holy City Wendel to pick up Li'l Cactus.
 * If Duran is in the party, he will bar the doors to his house in Valsena.
 * The Laurent Secret Base is closed after Citadel Laurent is recaptured.
 * The Ghost Ship disappears after Shade is freed.
 * Beuca Island, Tomato Town, and Seaside Cavern are cut off after obtaining Vuscav.

Because of how the game allows a selection of characters to be played with, some playthroughs can only grant access to some hometowns after they are normally visited while not choosing a specific character prevents the player from exploring said locations. Also, final dungeons are tied to a specific character, so choosing a protagonist guarantees only one dungeon out of three will be explorable.


 * If Duran or Angela is not the protagonist, Altena cannot be visited during Chapter IV. Also, the Crystal Desert and Dragonsmaw dungeon will not be accessible.
 * If Kevin or Charlotte is not the protagonist, Ferolia cannot be visited during Chapter IV. Also, the Jungle of Visions and Mirage Palace dungeons will not be accessible.
 * If Hawkeye or Riesz is not the protagonist, Nevarl cannot be visited during Chapter IV. Also, the Night Cavern and Dark Castle dungeons will not be accessible.
 * If Riesz is not the protagonist, Citadel Laurent cannot be revisited after the Laurent army counterattack in Chapter II.
 * If Angela is not the protagonist, Altena cannot be visited altogether, unless in the 3D remake if the player accepts to play Angela's opening gambit. She must be a party member in order to do so.
 * If Kevin is not the protagonist, Ferolia cannot be visited altogether, unless in the 3D remake if the player accepts to play Kevin's opening gambit. He must be a party member in order to do so.
 * If Hawkeye is not the protagonist, Nevarl cannot be visited altogether, unless in the 3D remake if the player accepts to play Hawkeye's opening gambit. He must be a party member in order to do so.

The 3D remake allows the characters in the party to visit their hometown during post-game content.
 * If Angela is in the party, the player can visit Altena to learn about the Sage Sphere's whereabouts.
 * If Kevin is in the party, the player can visit Ferolia to challenge Gauser for the Instinct Sphere.
 * If Hawkeye is in the party, the player can visit Nevarl to learn about the Loyal Sphere's whereabouts.
 * If Riesz is in the party, the player can visit Laurent to learn about the Kind Sphere's wherabouts.

Sword of Mana
The battle arena where Sumo battles a Jackal alongside Will cannot be revisited once the duo flees Granz Castle in the prologue.

The Airship can only be visited once in both the Hero and the Heroine path.

Once the party reaches the end of the Ruined Passage and are teleported inside Dime Tower, they are forbidden to backtrack and therefore explore the world map once again.

Once the party confronts the Golem atop Dime Tower, they cannot head back and are forced to enter the Mana Sanctuary.

Dawn of Mana
Every chapter is contained within a single location and cannot be revisited whatsoever during the playthrough.
