Lord Kaitan de Storms Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 The Golden Sun series is a (currently) 3-game long series set in the flat world of Weyard, which resembles the Earth several million years ago, geographically. I've beaten 1 and 3 so far. Anyone else play?

GSR Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Let's just say that way back when, I was "GoldenSunRules", not "GSR". (These days I like to just consider GSR to mean GSR, but I digress.) You really should play The Lost Age - it's in my opinion the strongest game in the series. Dark Dawn was a little weak compared to the first two, but I still enjoyed it and hopefully it can get a sequel (sooner rather than later.) Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

Rausaro Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm a big fan of the series. Yeah, Dark Dawn was actually pretty easy... Except for duhallan. He's a pain. But yeah, I wonder if Himi's brother will be the next hero? Quote The Redwall RPG; closed nowUpdate: RPG has migrated to another location and merged with another.

Lord Kaitan de Storms Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 I recently did finally manage to obtain a copy of TLA, only to get stuck in Alhafra after beating Briggs. When will they fix the bridge? And where do I get the rope-tying psynergy?

And where do I get the rope-tying psynergy? The Briggs thing is solved only much later. You have to take the long way. As for the rope trick... Find the temple near where you start. I believe they provide you with the psynergy. Quote The Redwall RPG; closed nowUpdate: RPG has migrated to another location and merged with another.

He'll almost certainly be in the next game, at any rate.

Erebus Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Golden Sun and The Lost Age are definitely one of my favorite RPGs of all time. I felt The Lost Age was better because you can transfer your data from the first game to the second game. I played Dark Dawn a bit and it looked fun.

Lord Kaitan de Storms Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Dark Dawn's pretty good, although Matthew and [ivan's daughter] are basically Isaac and Jenna clones (respectively) and Tyrell is basically an exaggeration if Garret. It also starts off the most lighthearted of the three and then gets pretty dark... Literally. More tearjearkers even than the open of 1 or the climax of 2. Combined, AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOREVER TO GET MIND READ! It also has quite a few callbacks and a surprising number of recurring characters, which is great for the long-time fans, and help explain the backstory to the newer ones. And then there's the point at the end of the game where you realize that the entire game was actually a sidetrack from the main quest.

Danska: Shadow Master Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The Golden Sun games are absolutely brilliant. They are THE reason I originally got a GBA. News of a new GS game was also one of the reasons I got a DS. Dark Dawn was certainly fun, but not in the same league as the first two. There was even more dialogue, the plot didn't feel as strong (especially since, as Lord Kaitan said, it ends up being a distraction), there weren't anything like as many stand-out musical pieces and it was far, far too easy. I got through pretty much every boss battle using nothing more than basic attacks (and the occasional heal). In GS/TLA, boss battles were the times you pulled out all your summons, Djinn and strongest psynergies in order to bring them down and hoped it was enough (which it wasn't against some bosses. Gorram Dullahan!). Oh yes, I also couldn't get all the Djinn in DD because at certain points of the game it disallows any backtracking. I really wasn't happy about this, and still have no conviction to play through the game again in order to find them. A good game, but dissapointing after the first two.

Lord Kaitan de Storms Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I had real hard time with the Chaos Chimera the first time through (even more than with Dullahan, in fact), but afterwards I realized that it was because it was a boss that you could not, in fact, beat without a careful summoning strategy. And then I got Iris and virtually OHKO it for the lulz.
