Yes, instead of flinging photorealistic office desks and street dumpsters across the screen, we were tossing cartoon logs, boulders and acorns. Yet, the accurate physics were definitely still present. Those giant nuts were rolling, bouncing and careening off the ground and walls exactly like you'd expect them to in this world... if such things existed, of course. It's a very strange juxtaposition - the magic of Mana and the science of Half-Life - but one that seems to get more strangely satisfying as you progress through the game.
At first, you can only push objects. Being an action-RPG, however, your stats build as you defeat enemies and, eventually, you have a kind of vegetative hybrid arm-whip that can latch onto objects far away in the environment and send them flying in various directions. Think of it as Square's whimsical take on the gravity gun. Get to even higher levels and your whip can spin objects or grab impossibly massive objects.
