Which Golden Sun game is your favorite?

I love them both equally, even though the Lost Age was longer and biiger than the first:D

I loved the use of psynergy in the field; it made the puzzles more challenging. I hope the third game (if made) doesn't go to the Wii, partly because I don't have one and partly because Psy Power is abbreviated PP (PP+Wii= bad jokes). Hopefully it would come out on the DS (as Zeromus_X mentioned, the stylus would work very well with the gameplay).

Im pretty sure they are not goging to make a third one, well atleast anytime soon. Those games are old.

The Lost Age is actually a lot less linear than the first game. Almost too non-linear, really. There's a lot of... wandering. :P

Ah, Golden Sun... I've played a ROM of the first game years ago and sicne then I just HAD to buy those games for my GBA (now DS). Still, it took me 2 years after I'd beaten the ROM and I even had finished TLA before I finally had my copy of Golden Sun! Damn hard to find!

Anyway, it's hard to choose. But I have to go with the first for a few reasons, and with the second for a few reasosn as well.

-The first reason for GS has Saturos and Menardi. They were, in my opinion, much better villains than Agatio and Karst (even though Karst and Agatio had an awesoem battle tune ;) )
-The second is just the plain originality and fun the game offered. In GS II, it gave me just a bit too much teh feeling of 'more of the same'. The party was just a GS I clone with different sprites. And I like the GS I party much more than Felix and co, sorry for the Felix lovers.
-Third is that I love GS I's Final Boss. I've seen many fantastic Final Bosses (most of them are from FF), but I never was more impressed with a bloody Final Boss than with Fusion Dragon. Outer Space ruled, and the entire battle just had that desperate feeling to it.
-And the main reason: VENUS LIGHTHOUSE!!! IMHO, best lighthouse from all four of them. Sigh, it was way too short! It should have been as long as Mars Lighthouse. The music just ruled. Really.

Reasons for The Lost Age:
-Ship. Ships rule, flying ships rule more. Sailing just went a bit too slow, that's all. Other than that, I loved how you were allowed to go out and explore!
-Well, the rest of the story started in GS I, duh. And the game was longer too. GS was just a bit too short.
-Lots of sidequests.
-Doom Dragon. Cruel Ruin is awesome, but Djinn Storm was CHEAP -_-" Awesome music, and I loved how you slaughtered head per head. Mwa ha ha. =)
-More awesome weapons and spells! (Sol Blade :D )

So in the end GS = GS II. Can't choose, sorry.

Both games had a wonderful soundtrack. The story was different than what I had experienced at that time in RPGs. The Weapons unleashes were neat stuff and the Lighthouses have to be some of the best dungeons ever created in RPGs.

But there are 2 things I dislike about GS I and II:
-First DULLAHAN! Aargh, don't tell me there's anybody who likes this guy! XD He was awefull to fight. Thoughest optional boss I ever fought.
-The ending of GS II with Alex. I hate open endings.

I hope they will make a GS III for the DS, but I don't think that will happen. It has been years since TLA was released, and still no word on it at all.

Still, 2 of the best RPGs on the GBA in my humble little opinion.
And sorry to bother you all with this long, useless rant. ^^"

Actually, I can beat him in like three turns on hard mode just by tweaking my djinn setup. :P I don't remember what level I was at, but I wasn't overleveled by any means. Maybe a little underleveled.

I love GS 1. It's the only one of the two that I have completed but I've played both. I think there is something wrong with my TLA. At the Gondowan cliffs there seems to be no way to proceed if I could get past that bit I would have a better opinion of it but I don't.

I prefer the characters in GS1. The final boss rocks and I really like the colloseum and boat bits. It's fun doing all that stuff and going to that secret Island place.

havent played the second one yet.im still playing the 1st one...though i dont have much time for it cause im going online.
