How is it?
My childhood. Played golden sun and the second one. Never played the third. I probably played those games 3 or 4 times through. I’m pretty sure I have one and an SP around my place somewhere.
Great game, 10/10. I don’t see many people talking about the ds games, but they are also very good.
I won’t deny that it’s a fun game. But… If you think it was well-written, it’s the rose glasses. The story is really nonsensical if you think about it…
… or you could let an SA goon tell you about why, instead.
This review is incredible. XD
Oh yeah the game is great. Get both of em so you can transfer your save from the first to the second.
I never played the DS game so I have no comment on it, but the GBA games are really good classics.
I’ve heard mixed things about it, but my sister who the GS fan in my family swears by it.
I liked Dark Dawn (DS one) but it didnt quite have the charm of the originals. Still worth playing though in my opinion.
It my favorite GBA game and I’m still waiting for it to come to Nintendo switch, like we where promised.
I think it (and its sequel) is the best original RPG on the GBA. It’s a little slow to start and it suffers from mountains of unskippable dialog at certain parts but the overall experience is just so damn good I can let that go. Especially the class system, it has one of the most novel class systems I’ve seen in an RPG.
Golden Sun holds a place in my heart as the first JRPG I played that had me do more than just click Attack for the majority of turns. A lot of older titles suffered in that regard, but Golden Sun addresses it with regenerating PP and free Djinn actions to encourage you to explore your toolkit. Puzzles were also fantastic.
Skip the DS game though, it’s bad.
