Golden Sun Series!

A RPG and puzzle game. Even it is not famous enough in here,It was maked by Camelot Software Planning and Nintendo. I really love this game

There are 3 series: Golden Sun(GBA), Golden Sun: The Lost Age(GBA), and finally Golden Sun: Dark Dawn(DS).

The plot is really great.

Discuss anything here from characters, music, and maybe plot.

^ I already made a thread but its been a while didnt get much discussion "wants an expansive sequel to Dark Dawn". DD felt kind of short and lacking compared to the others. Plot was awesome , I just loved the art in DD too. awesomepixels.jpg
*loved using Eclipse

Golden Sun is at best a shallow RPG that starts off great, but leaves you wondering why you should even bother finish playing the game.

Nope, your opinion >->

It isn't opinion it is fact. Golden Sun focus heavily on the puzzle and RPG game play mechanic and thus the story comes off as shallow and bare bones.


you didnt play longer than 10 minutes

You don't live with me so you can't say how long I played the game. Which was longer than 10 minutes.

We did -_- did you not go to her village , she did fall from the sky for a reason. >_> the plot is segmented like that due to how sidequest oriented the game is. That said some more characterization and a branching storyline could be implemented and more involved Characterization for Matthew (the others seem to be getting that in DD and the sequel).

The series has a very good RPG system, I give it that.

Same here

But let's just say the plot likes to stall a lot, and it's begging for a lot more of character development.

This here is why I took a break from the game, the game's plot is paper thin and executed very poorly and I couldn't find a reason why I should care about the characters.

I do however plan to finish the series and lock away in a cupboard once I am done with it.

You make valid points WillChriss but I have to stress the plot is fine , characterization is whats needed.

Wow, since I was playing the game I never get sensitive to characterization. I am know that the characterization is not pretty good when I read a fanfiction about this

You can check fanfiction if you really need to see characterization.

Lolwut, that's not the point. Creators can't just make a game with bad characterization and say "oh, let's not bother with that, just let them read fanfiction"... that's stupid. As much as I love Golden Sun, I have to agree with everyone here on characterization being a weak point.

Don't be so stupid.

The fan based shouldn't have to use a terrible fan fiction just so they can get their game plot and characterisations fixes. Other wise then what was the point of buying and playing the game in the first place.

If the game has poor plot and characterisations then that is down to the fault of the game creators for don't giving it attention.

Well, lets just hope the next sequel will be better than before. In my country forum, so many fans love the first two games and hate the 3rd. Probably they never talk about characterization or never really care

Oww, I really need to learn more about what happening with other people in different perspective. Sorry for all the trouble

But anyway, another high point I like about the game is the music. Dear god, that music.

God, the music for this game is amazing. I never would praise Golden Sun for its plot, but its music is another thing. This series also sorely lacks in difficulty, so multiple playthroughs is not easy, but I could listen to the music for ages.

The series itself is too short for much discussion, until the next game comes out, whenever that may be. wiiboychris and blaze boy have accurately summed up most of what can be discussed of the series, so I guess I can't say much else anymore. It's a nice series, but I'm not seeing much future discussion in this thread.
