Golden Sun


Akano

1,072 views

Just finished replaying the first game in the series, and it's still awesome. The world, the music, the characters, the story – all are so wonderful and charming. The soundtrack has to be some of the best music in video game history.

 

After the long, gruelling process that is inputting a Gold level password from my Clear Data (I don't have a GBA link cable with me), I'm now starting The Lost Age. I will miss Isaac and Co. for now.

Man, I agree. I haven't played any RPG with worldbuilding as interesting as Golden Sun and its sequels. Reading up on the various locations and cultures makes them that much more compelling—there are so many references to lost or apocryphal world cultures and myths.

 

Dark Dawn wasn't quite as good as the first two as far as story or gameplay are concerned (so many broken bridges), but even so, I'd love to see more from the series.

All of this.

I haven't played Dark Dawn; my roommate has, and he was rather disappointed with the story. If they could reinvent the story without rehashing too much of the old, I'd be all up for a new one.

 

Oh yeah, I own that game.  I played it just enough to get into the overworld.

 

It's so good from there! I will grant you that it takes a long time for you to get to the overworld, but it is worth it for the awesomeness that comes afterward.

Dark Dawn's story wasn't the best (partly because it failed to tall a complete story at all...), but it was still interesting, especially what it did with its worldbuilding and characters. It'd definitely be worth your time.
