GBAtemp Recommends! Golden Sun

[Slowking]

People will play anything if it looks nice. Golden Sun did absolutely nothing interesting for the genre except look pretty on a handheld. It's depressing that it has such a following, even if it is only among teenagers who have never played a real RPG.

I for one really liked the Djin-system and found it really innovating. I have never seen something like it in other RPGs.
Ofcourse the story is opretty steriotypical but 90% of games are the same.

I found Golden Sun 2 fell short of the first one. It probably would have been better if they had followed their original plan and had made 3 parts with the same amount of story. That would have given them more time to focus on the individual parts...

But all in all I love those games and I really really hope that we will get a 3rd one. I mean we have to. We got end-data at the end of the 2nd. What are we supposed to do with that?

Wow I'm already stuck at this game, I'm at the part right after the "3 years later", and some guy won't let me to the mountians =d

both fakes....here, link to site about fakes: http://kprs.laronmi.net/taow/speculation/fakes.htm

Says the makers are TakaM and Opium, aren't those two members here? xD

Is the Golden Sun Fake actually downloadable anywhere?

You would be right in speculting that. As far as I know it is in fact our own members that pulled the pranks mentioned.

yup.

If I recall correctly, my original GSDS fake sparked a topic here that a friend informed me of, I think I was already registered but the topic basically caused me to become a regular here

I've done a few other hoax things since then, but none had been as popular as my original GSDS thing, gamefaqs went especially crazy over it back in the day


edit-
here's how I originally released the original hoax image:

I have no idea what the article says, it was the only one I could find that a DS screen fit next to nicely.
I don't know if it's even Japanese lol
Shortly after I revealed the source image just to prove it was a fake, but that kinda made it more popular and some people even made their own hoaxes with it

And I dunno, you guys might get a kick out of this one too:

much less believable though

Take it thats more of your awesome graphics making skills at the bottom?

Golden Sun: The Lost Age

I thought it was better than Final Fantasy to be honest.. I played it when i went camping once, just sat with my GBA outside the tent and cracked on with it - good times..

The story got really good after the first game, it was awesome transferring my party, and it was just a blast to play through. I've tried to get into FF many times and it just bores the crap out of me. I really need to try FF7..

i can't believe that haven't got golden sun on DS, it's so good. Best part was using algorithmic moves to make monsters drop rare items. Search it up if you don't know =P
