golden sun wasn't anything ground breaking.
But it did everything right, personally I was up for the long conversations, random encounters weren't too often, battles were fun and quick.
Every town was full of NPCs that all had something to say and something more interesting if you read their mind.
And then golden sun 2 just improved in every aspect, traveling the world faster, more diverse environments, better puzzles, more side quests, etc.
shiiit, even just talking about GS2 has got me wanting to play it again.. maybe I should save it for the plane..
