Thread: Golden Sun

  1. #1

    Default Golden Sun

    I was recommended to play this game, by one of my friends, and I find it is a very good RPG. I'm really liking the battle system and the story seems remotely interesting so far.

    What do you guys think of this game?

    I think both games are very wonderful, and enjoy them immensely.

    Once you finish the first game though, you are pretty much forced into buying the Lost Age along with it...

    One of the best RPGs of all time. Truly glorious games. Incredible plot, wonderful characters (great main characters and one of the best villains of all time [even though you never actually face him in combat]), excellent music, insanely fun gameplay (FF's battle system with Legend of Zelda's puzzle mania, I love it)...
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"

    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    The first one was very enjoyable. I couldn't really get into the second one though. Maybe I should finish it one of these days.

    The graphics are throwing me off a bit, but who really cares about them anyway, if the game is quite out of times. By the way, what did you name your main guy?

    I named him Larit. I also love the quick and wonderful leveling up system, and find joy in reaching the next level, and beating the crap out of fiends. The system reminds me of FFVII's system, but more active and enjoyable.

    I love both games. I'm still hoping they make a DS sequel.

    The graphics of Golden Sun are the best on the GBA, even now.

    I left them as Isaac and Felix.

    I vaguely remember hearing something about Camelot developing a game for the Wii. This information was accompanied by rumors that the new title was going to be a third Golden Sun game.

    I wouldn't complain about a DS sequel, though. That'd be pretty damn sweet.

    Either one would work wonderfully with the Psychic powers, using the stylus or Wii-remote to move things etc.

    I think that was me and my fanboy spouting.

    Sorry.

    Golden Sun: Great.

    I loved them both. I think the first had a bit more charm, but the second was such a massive game that really advanced every aspect of the first one, and it's right up there with my favorite games ever. I hope they release another one and make use of the clear data from The Lost Age, although I've probably lost my cartridge by now.

    I don't think they ever planned a third one, which was really stupid considering how open it is for another installment.

    Oh well. Both games are awesome. I loved the Psynergy.
