Can we get a mother fucking golden sun thread going??
Favorite character? class? summon?
This is my favorite turn based rpg besides maybe mario rpg with they had made some more never played the ds one but might give it a shot
why wasnt piers in smash hes my hubando
How does it feel Shulk got in Smash but not Isaac?
>bland as fuck jrpg
>only popular because gba had no gaemslike it
No, we can't get a thread going.
>>263543251
Change gba to Wii and you have the reason why people liked Xenoblade.
werent a number of the summons cutie girls?
>>263542378
It was a shit game that got rehashed to death.
>>263543668
>rehashed to death.
>2 sequels (technically 1 since the original game was split into two)
Possibly the worst JRPG I played.
Dear OP.
Play this game.Mario RPG is my favorite game of all time and the GS series remain in my top 5 of all time
We used to have halfway decent GS threads. What happened?
>>263543668
>I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING WATCH ME PROVE IT
Will Dark Dawn get a decent continuation? One without areas that that are blocked off after you leave them?
>>263545982
dark dawn killed everything
>>263545982
People removed their nostalgia glasses.
>>263546369
>Dark Dawn so bad Sakurai removed everything Golden Sun related from Smash
It's suffering.
>>263542378
I'm stuck in both the original and The Lost Age.
I can't figure out the puzzles. In the original I'm stuck on a giant tree near a town full of people who were turned into mini trees.
In the second game I can't figure out how to progress through the desert.
>>263543251
>bland
It has some unique shit, like being able to use psynergy outside of battle to do shit like read people's minds. Switching character classes using Djinn is also fun.
>>263546697
Head north to the forest, brother.
Anyone surprised by how challenging the game is when you don't use any djinn?dat difficulty patch <3
>>263546697
You have to find the forest and kill the tree
>>263542378
>Favorite character
Felix
>class?
Ninja
>summon?
Catastrophe
>tfw GS: TLA is miles ahead of the other 2
>tfw felix is the true hero
>tfw isaac and mathew will get ahead of him in smash
>>263546369
Dark Dawn was disappointing, but it's exaggerated how bad it is. You should mainly play GS for the dungeons and battle system anyway, and even if both are inferior because they're too easy, I still managed to enjoy the game.
>>263546697
>psynergy outside of battle to do shit like read people's minds
Kinda neat, I'll give you that, but I think the environmental puzzles were quite average.
>Switching character classes using Djinn is also fun
Kinda neat too, except for the system being completely unexplained, so you're just left to fuck around until you stumble upon something that works.
Characters and story are uninspired shit.
>>263542378
>Can we get a mother fucking golden sun thread going??
YES WOOOOO
>Favorite character?
ISAAC HE'S FUCKING BADASS
>class?
Death mage
>summon?
Meteor is fucking rad ass shit
>>263542831
Shulk is cool. Isaac would've been great. Don't try to start shit between fans for no reason.
>>263546369
dark dawn didn't do shit to the story, it's one big introduction
and it's decent for one playthrough
>>263547586
Plus, all the talking. Not only is the story meh, there's a ton of it
>>263546697
Which desert are you talking about? Is this the one near where you meet Sheba and you have to head to Air's Rock?
>>263547671
Shulk is shit, and so was Xenoblade. He's only in Smash because they have an upcoming big budget Xenoblade game and they want him to serve as a walking advertisement.
>>263547881
>mfw like both xenoblade and GS
>mfw like xenoblade and shulk more
>mfw I watch people bicker
isaac is getting a character slot anyway, his trophy is missing from the 3ds version of smash
>>263547686
>one big introduction
That's fucking accurate. I got to the end of the game and my first thought was "Sweet, end of part 1, now the game REALLY starts".
Then the credits rolled.
>>263547253
This is true.
Felix was the true hero all along.
>>263546919
>>263547029
I'm on Tret Tree right now. Is that not the right place?
>>263546346
Ofcourse not. Why would they make a sequel to a game everyone hates?
>missable djinn
>Hurr durr light and dark psynergy
>THIS ALEX GUY IS TOTALLY NOT ALEX!
>Black holes that aren't relevant 5 minutes into the game and then suddenly pop up as cliff hanger.
Man, fuck dark dawn. Golden sun was awesome until then.
>>263547586
>I think the environmental puzzles were quite average.
Some of the dungeons were pretty good though, and they had great atmosphere. I really liked Venus Lighthouse and Ankohl Ruins.
>>263548206
That's the right place. Keep exploring until you fight giant evil face.
>>263548206
That's the right place. You need to work your way to the top of the tree and then drop down the center iirc.
>Character
Sheba
>Class
Whichever one had Planet Diver
>Summon
Cybele
Really bummed that DD ignored Sheba completely, I wanted to go to the moon.
Isaac's totally in the game, guys
>>263548206
You have to drop down from the top to bottom. Drop down the correct hole and beat Tret. I hope you beat the lighthouse already otherwise you need to return to the forest again.
>>263548234
Why did they have to pull new acient civilizations out of their asses for DD.
That and not being able to explore the full map (seriously the sea has levels?) were shit points.
>>263548502
Doing Tret then Mercury then back to Tret is actually the way you're meant to do it. Saves a lot of time doing Mercury first but it technically is a sequence break.
>>263548206
You gotta kill his inside face and then head for Mercury Lighthouse
>>263548234
Even worse is that there'd be Dark Dawn representation before Golden Sun representation in Smash.
>>263548502
Thanks for the info.
I've been stuck there for months.
Greatest JRPG of all time.
>>263548502
I always beat Tret before the lighthouse. Never thought to do it the other way around.
>>263548735
I'd be fine with Sveta in Smash
>>263542831
Robin stole Isaac's moveset, not Shulk.
>>263548874
not anywhere near isaac, magic swordsmen are a new archtype in smash
>>263548657
I really fucking wish I could have visited all places from the old game to see them now that they're alchemically-powered.
That's the one thing Symphonia 2 did reasonably well, allowing you to see how your actions from the last game changed the world.
>>263548735
I wouldnt mind old Isaac.
His design was the best thing from that trainwreck
I always get the impression that diehard GS fans are genuinely a little bit dumber than fans of other RPGs.
>>263548972
Well, yes, but magic swordsman should have gone to Isaac, not Robin.
>>263548735
The only good thing would be more of Isaac's sweet beard
>>263542378
YES
YES
I LOVE YOU OP
I HAVE TO DO PROGRAMMING HOMEWORK BUT I WILL BE BACK
Every golden sun had such awesome music and art. Battle system was amazing as well.
>>263547475
DD was shit because you couldn't backtrack. Not because it was easier.
>>263549309
why not both? Isaac's trophy is not in the 3ds version, he has a chance
>>263549184
You don't think they play other RPGs?
I mean, I never had SNES, so GBA was the first time I started playing RPGs for a long time, and enjoyed GS. Which definitely has a lot to do with my affection for it.
But I play plenty of other series afterwards, and now.
>>263549672
Just the ones who actually say they like the characters and story.
The gameplay and exploration are okay.
>>263549540
>watermark
Ruins everything
>>263549540
That was also shit, yes, but overall bosses and dungeons felt easier. I liked Apollo Sanctum and Berlinsk castle but most of the dungeons felt less creative, there were also a lot more dumb field psynergy like insight and track.
>>263549540
The storytelling was poop. Dark clan? Hiding? New parts of the earth? Apollo Lens why?
More fusion at the end to ride off the first two game's success?
Nigga we saw the whole earth and the edge of the world.
the first two games were amazing because the bad guys and good guys were not black and white good/evil, but the third game was basically HERE IS THE BAD GUY IN A BIG AND OBVIOUS METAL AIRSHIP, GO FIGHT EM KIDS
Such a lazy attempt at a story.
>>263549845
I don't understand your problem with the story or characters, but to each his own.
>>263547780
I think so, yeah.
>>263549184
Thats nice but pretty irrelevant, stir shit elsewhere.
The class system is really good in golden sun, and in tla it rightfully shines. What's the class that gives wish? Such a useful psynergy. That would be my favorite class.
I never played DD, just the first (best) two.Does Alex come back? What happens?
>>263550251
>I don't understand your problem with the story or characters
Which brings us back to >>263549184
>>263550251
Not him but the characters are flat and the story is pretty standard JRPG stuff. Mind you, I liked both in the two first games, but DD was just a big sidequest and had characters like Himi just tacked on in the end.
>>263548657
What bothered me the most was that those civilizations had fucking huge-ass machines right in the middle of the continent YET NO ONE EVER MENTIONED THEM BEFORE!
>>263542378
>Brawl modders in charge of showing more love to Golden Sun than Sakurai
I'm starting to hate that chingchong
>>263550292
I think at that point you just head to Air's Rock if you haven't already.
Fuck Air's Rock by the way.
>>263550536
Oh ok. I clearly understand your points and my opinion is now completely swayed. Thank you for opening my eyes.
>>263542378
>Favorite class
>Implying people don't just go monotype djinn
Anybody got some good GS official or fan art they would like to dump?
>>263550530
He's not Alex, he's Xela, the mysterious masked man.They don't even try that hard to hide it
>>263550661
In all my years as a Golden Sun fan, I think it's well agreed by everyone who played the second game that Air's Rock is a massive piece of shit.
>>263546697
>playing both games at the same time
>>263549431
Thats not true. The new Djinn designs were great.

>>263551039
I got the second game first on accident while looking for the first. I played it for a while and then finally got the first game.
>>263550164
I want to bet that they wanted to throw the same plot twist in GS4 as they did with TLA.
I would buy a Wii U in 1 fucking second to if it got a Golden Sun 4.
I love one, 2 is great, 3 is ok and could have been better but I still liked it just as much.
I would kill for a fourth game.
>>263551193
He's just kind of there being mysterious.
Undoubtedly he'd be revealed to be evil all along and probably taking over the world from the shadows in the sequel but GUESS WHAT NIGGER.
>>263550706
So what you're saying is you don't see a problem with a story that could have been avoided entirely with the same happy outcome if the main characters just stayed home and did nothing? A story that builds up plot points like Babi, Sheba and the shaman's rod and then does exactly nothing with them? A story that is interrupted by incredibly obtuse detours through multiple dungeons and mini-storylines that have no bearing on the heroes' main goal just to get around a fallen tree? A story that ends with everyone having the same motivation to accomplish the same thing but still fighting each other for no reason other than "because"?
>>263550764
There is no good GS fanart
go type in Golden Sun Mia Fanart in google and behold all the drawing by ten year olds
>>263551561
>He's just kind of there being mysterious.
Well that sure sounds like Alex.
>>263551695
You haven't been searching hard enough
>>263549845
Not many people actually like it for the characters, but the setting was cool, it had a nice plot twist and the gameplay, music and graphics were amazing.
Who actually typed in the fuck-long 6 pages long password?I did, it didn't help my handwriting sucked
>>263551839
>Who actually typed in the fuck-long 6 pages long password?
I did. Multiple times.
>>263551839
I borrowed my brother's GBA to do it side by side.
I liked that the games put a lot of info and details in the background you have to talk/mind read NPCs to figure out, things that doesn't impact the main plot. Stuff like Sheba being from the moon, details about Ivan's family in Contiago, Amiti being Alex's kid and so on. Granted Dark Dawn was a lot less subtle about that stuff and outright stated a bunch of things, I'd honestly think it would've been better if they made Amiti's relation to Alex less obvious.
>>263551695
Golden Sun actually has alot of great fanart relative to its fanbase.
>>263550628
It's true that P:M is doing a playable Isaac?
>>263551450
>Liking DD just as much as the first two
>>263552119
Don't know, don't care. That's a regular mod. You can put it in PM if you wish.
>>263551193
It's been a while since I played, but hedoes pretty much fuck-all in-game
Also, does anyone else feel that Bravely Default was a lot like Golden Sun?
I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. I mean, both BD and GS are great games, but I had no clue I would love BD so damn much. Nice story, amazing characters, very fun battle system, great artstyle, etc. Even if BD did do that wacky shit after chp4..
I can't wait for Bravely 2nd.I also can't wait for a GS4...
>>263551224
>New ACIENT civilizations appear in the land that you already explored in the 1st GS, ok one or two I could believe because earthquakes during the Golden Sun but EVERY FUCKING NEW TOWN?
And none of the old towns remained except for one or two. Seriously, what was up with that?
>liking TLA more than GS1
It's the same game except with all sense of direction and purpose removed and no apparent motivation is given for the guys you are controlling until halfway through the plot. And Air's Rock.
>>263552408
Here's to hoping that Bravely Second has more content, now that it has an actual budget.
>>263552408
Bravely Default was basically supposed to be a return to classical JRPGs, which Golden Sun is very much one.
>>263552408
I liked Bravely a lot, especially style, soundtrack and battle system, but the dungeon design was pretty boring and repetitive. They also had one dungeon theme they kept reusing that got really old after a while. I really appreciated being able to adjust the encounter rate though.
>>263552395
You only see him once iirc. And he just stands there.
>>263552418
I actually looked through the manual to see the developers, and make sure that they were not the same people, because no way could the people who made the 1st two games turn the third into such garbage, right?
Basically all the devs were the same.
MFW
>>263552768
>because no way could the people who made the 1st two games turn the third into such garbage, right?
The 3rd game just amplified the design flaws of the first 2, so why not?
>>263552562
Liking TLA is understandable. It introduced alot of new classes, summons, bigger world and other neat little mechanics like the blacksmith.
I personally like the original more just because I liked the areas and context more.
>beat DD, #rekt all super bosses
>decide to do a no-random-encounter run
>stop 2/3 of the way through because it was still too easy
>>263548713
Seriously? I always beat the lighthouse first since I couldn't figure out how to get passed the gate on my first play-through.
>>263552256
Only person here shitposting is you bud.
Just because I like an admittedly not-so-great game doesn't mean I don't like the others just as much or more and don't have anything to contribute.

I guess it;s because of quality writing
>>263552562
But TLA was GS just bigger and better. I actually liked the fact that you didn't know what these people were up to for a while because last you knew was that both your waifu and this kidnapped unrelated girl were in this against their will, suddenly they're very eager to help your traitorous not-dead friend in doing the stuff you were trying to prevent.

It was just 30 years. Detroid has been shit for longer than that and it's still around.
>>263553369
Alex is still depressed that Isaac fucked him over in the end. Unknowingly even.
>>263553347
You mean I beat TLA because Felix was a motherfucker with the Sol Blade right?
>>263542378
It's one of my favorite JRPGs too, but I've never fully replayed it since beating it as a kid when it came out. Reason being that every time I try to pick it back up I give up after a few hours from the sheer frustration of not being able to take 5 steps without getting sucked into yet another battle. The repel spells and items don't even help, they just reduce the frequency from every 5 steps to every 8 steps.
>>263553219
TLA was still a great game. It had a lot of cool new areas and psynergies, and everyone wanted to see Felix and Cast. I loved the new tribal areas they got to explore.
It is the one game that made me not angry that the protags were changing
>>263553424
Years of Mario Golf probably made them too busy to think about RPGs.
>>263542378
>mein negro
I mean it's by no means perfect, but I would love either a remake or another game set in the same universe. I haven't played a turn based RPG with a blissful mix between dungeon puzzles and combat in a really long while.
>>263553347
I beated the game cause Felix woudnt stop summoning Megidos.
>>263553520
That doesn't mean things can't change.
I'm not trying to defend the game, or not very well atleast, but to just be like "THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS SHIT" is just wrong of you.
>>263549545
>He has a chance
Funniest shit I've heard all day. Thanks, man.
>>263551224
Actually Dullahan in DD is a carbon copy of the one in TLA.
>>263553587
And Isaac with Excalibur

>>263553725
Well, they didn't even TRY to explain it.
It was all just there.

Really, one thing sequels with time jumps always do is explore the changed world. Xillia 2, FFX-2 and a few others do this with only a year or two difference. Golden Sun here has about 20 and a flourishing world with alchemy becoming widespread.
...and they don't do it. And now it's unlikely Golden Sun 4 will happen to put the whole series out of its misery. Damn it, Camelot/Nintendo.

Give Isaac Excalibur
Problem solved
>>263554784
I did when we fought Dullahan, so he got his chance to shine, although he already did the previous game so I didn't see much need for it.
>>263554784
That requires me to input the fuck hueg password
>>263554293
Goddamn was Dullahan a motherfucker though. I remember fighting him at least 5 times in a row before a clutch Daedalus rocket finished him.
>>263554439
Say better Isaac and the gang absorved most of the power emanating from the stars so Alex wasnt able to achieve a true Golden Sun.
Cause the eye rock was a dick too.
>>263554951
Nah man, that's Titan blade.
Excalibur is a forgeable weapon.

What ifKraden is the bad guyHe has the trust of the heroes, and they often turn to him for advice. What if he actually manipulates the heroes into achieving his own sinister plans since the very beginning????You get the choice not to kill Alex in GS4 after fighting him. If you choose to spare him he joins the party and you eventually learn the truth about Kraden. If you don't, you get a bad end.

Jenna will always be my #1 GS girl, then Mia. I don't like females who can transform into animals. She was fun to use in combat though
>>263555925
Has highest attack stat, but the special is worse than a three hit Excalibur special.
>>263556073
That would require actually clever writing and Camelot not pussying out of making ANYONE an actual bad guy again.
>>263556073
>Kraden was passively straying away the heroes so they couldn't fulfill their duty
oh shit
>>263555883
Mein Negro
Sveta was cooler then most of your party of autistic children combined
>>263555883I liked more Ivan's daughter
>>263555883
The whole furry race was fucking retarded.
>>263556173
The furry girl in DD was so broken holy shit.
>>263556059
totally agree.
>>263555459
I'm not kidding, they love golf. They made Everyone's Golf for Sony, Mario Golf for Nintendo, and then We Love Golf for Capcom. I think they've only got two modes now, sports games and Shining games.
>>263553857
>2014
>being spiteful towards someone who's favorite character didn't get in.
Fucking /v/. Step up the class a little, you insufferable shits.
>>263556235
Ivan's daughter is a qt though
Also where the fuck is Sheba in DD? Did sherun away with Felix?
>>263555807
>edgy judgement
>best
kek
>>263556326
Their location was.
>>263556349
She really was. Why was DD so bad? It hurt to play it.
>>263542831
Totally okay. Xenoblade is great, and Golden Sun is shit.
>>263556516
I hope she went to the moon, wish we could've gone there too.
>>263556173
Mia is my #1, but I can definitely respect Jenna. I was so sad when she had to leave the party.
Dang, now I'm thinking back to all her great dialogue and how much I cared about her in game 1.
F THIS
I"m becoming a Jennafag
feels good man
remember that plot point they built up to be really big and important but then it turned out to be a total anticlimax oh wait that's all of them
>>263556516
She becameEmpyress of the TuaparangCould be, since it's heavily implied that the Tuaparang are Anemos/descendents of Anemosé
>>263556173
Karst will always be mine. Dragon girl best girl.
>>263556616
>>263556349
I wish she was better balanced but I really liked her mechanics, but she was already so strong, giving her beast mode was just letting her wreck even more shit.
>>263556748
>GS
>great dialogue
>>263552119
Unconfirmed, but Isaac topped the most requested character poll for Project M, and pretty much all Project M related leaks say Isaac is in.
>>263556149
I got fucking chills from that music man
>>263548141
>>263547686
This so fucking much, when I finally got the McGuffin or whatever the fuck you had to go around the world to get I thought that finally the filler side quest used to introduce characters was over and the real story would really start, especially since Golden Suns never had points of no return before and I still couldn't go back to some towns and areas.
Then I saw the credits rolling.
>>263556586
I had to force myself to finish it because I already had wasted 40 buks on it.
It was the last game I bought without reading about it.
>>263557019
It defined her personality well, nothing wrong with that.
>>263552924
The whole point of the extra party in TLA was that both of their adventures came together in one big crescendo during the final act.
It felt unnecessary and phoned-in in DD. The characters for the 3rd party either felt rushed or didn't live up to expectations. If the game was better paced and kept the story coherent"hey kids, you broke our flying machine, go fix it" became "YOU MUST SAVE THE WORLD FROM DARK AND EDGY FURRY ANNIHILATION" without any mention of the broken flying machine thereafter.it would have been a better game, perhaps even split into two, like its predecessors.
>>263556748
It does. Let the qt 3.14 flow through you.
>>263556874
I totally forgot about karstI don't like girls with short hair usually
>>263557104
Same here. I got ~1/2 way through and just wanted it to end.
>first GBA game I've ever played
>best one I've ever played
Feels good
>>263556073
>Kraden is a physical tool for the Wise One since he ''Cannot interfere with the actions of man''
>Wise One is still a huge asshole even though Papa Isaac keeps sucking his dick
>Save Papa Isaac from its evil clutches
>Kill the Wise One with help ofAlex
>Kraden then becomes the new Wise One
Camelot' shitty writing gets redeemed as I try to contain all the tweests
I like Dark Dawn
>>263557623
I feel really bad for you that you haven't played any of the actually good GBA games.
>>263557741
It's okay anon. If there weren't people with shit taste, there wouldn't be a comparison point for people with good taste.
>>263542378
I had never played Golden Sun because RPGs weren't my deal back in the day, but I went in a GBA appreciation stint a few years back and played them both. They were a lot of fun. Notably flawed and needed some streamlining, but the whole Djinn summoning mechanic was unique and interesting, and all the overworld puzzles were neat. I'd really like to see this series revived with a better focus, it's got potential to be something far greater than your average JRPG
And I pretty much cry myself to sleep at night because Isaac has some of the best raw material to work with for a smash bros. moveset, but we got Shulk and Robin instead.
>>263557851
If there weren't people with shit taste, there wouldn't be Golden Sun fans.
Getting Eoleo in DD was such a disappointment. Raised by a pirate father for the sea, I was confused why he couldn't be a water adept but fine whatever. The fact that he couldn't use axes despite being a big guy just added to his problem.
>>263557741
You por bastard with no taste.
>>263557782
Golden Sun is one of them, but the GBA really was a treasure trove of good titles
>>263557782
I have though.
>>263557623
Try Superstar Saga
>>263557934
But he can use axes.
>>263547686
Not quite. The lore and setting were fucked.
Even in 30 years WITH alchemy, the world should not have changed that much. Enitre civilizations that seem hundreds of years old should not pop up like that (the new asian cities and furryville), same with the Sol Sanctum and the fucking great wall of china.
>>263557782
>stop liking what I don't like!
>>263558086
Yes, the great wall pissed me off
they literally did not need to put it there to have the end game sequence
>was thinking about Golden Sun earlier today
>see this thread
>mfw
>>263543825
I remember reading about that somewhere before, something to do with the GBA's hardware limitations.
It also got me thinking. Isn't there a romhack out there that combines the first 2 games so that everything flows as a single game as was originally intended? If not, then it can't be that hard to do. After all, when Isaac's party joins yours in the Lost Age, they have everything they had at the end of the first game, Djinni and equips. Plus, the region where the first game took place is in the second just with all the towns and shit removed (I think it was possible to glitch your way there after getting the flying upgrade for your ship). At the very least, it would save players a lot of time from not having to deal with a fuckhuge password or link cable for physical copies.
>>263558086
Half of them were supposedly shoved in the middle of the mountains before.
I fucking loved GS's class customization, it was always fun to duel a friend with different setups and strategies. Shame they're not a little better balanced and the mechanics are more deep, but the elemental mechanics were great.
I used to run 3x Chaos Lords since they hit like a truck (Second only to Ronin I believe) and revive fully heals a dead target. You were pretty vulnerable to buffs/debuffs, but as long as you ended the fight quick, it wasn't a big deal.
>>263557934
I was disappointed he sucked. He was like Jenna except instead being Piers without axes.
>tfw had golden sun 2 since release but never finished it because it's too fucking long and if you put the game down for a week and try to come back there's no way to tell what the fuck you were doing
>>263558215
The games also need Psynergy to be less shit in the 2nd half.
>>263558060
I have. Why does enjoying Golden Sun mean I haven't played any other GBA games? M&L:SS is right up there with them.
>>263558086
Apollo Sanctum is a passable new discovery, considering that it's on top of Weyard's Mt. Everest and could have re-emerged when Alchemy returned. I agree with you entirely regarding the Great Wall of Not-China, Ayylmao-thay and Furryville
>>263558062
Are you sure about that? I thought he could use maces not axes.
>>263558415
But that's wrong.
Eoleo can equip Light Blades, Maces and Axes.
MIA IS MY WAIFU
>>263558532
This
SS was such an imaginative game
Okay /v/, if you could design Golden Sun 3 (and DD doesn't exist) how would you do it?
>>263558576
Furryville only showed up as a direct result of the Golden Sun being released.
Which means they put together a fucking kindgom in 30 years.
>>263546697
Just wait until you get to Air's Rock
>>263558228
Bullshit there's more than three with ruins near the coast.
>>263558589
He can't use Great Swords like the Excalibur. Axes and Maces are fair game.
I enjoyed Dark Dawn
>>263558724
Give it to Monolith.
>>263558665
She's basically mine too, but I just became a Jennafag.
She's still A+ tier, but I discovered repressed feelings I had for Jenna
You have a good waifu, anon
>>263558724
I wouldn't make the main plot about getting a feather.
>miafags all over the thread
Get out of the way.
>>263558769
Have you even seen the shape of the actual world map now?
You know, where literally half of the world is lifted above the other half?
>>263558625
My bad, he was Piers without long swords. Not being able to wield the strongest weapon type sucks when you're supposed to be more of a fighter type than mage.
>>263558665
I'm in love with Jenna!
>>263558724
I don't know, remember how everyone in TLA said they weren't entirely sure if lighting the lighthouses would save the world and could instead end up destroying it? Well you could do that, show how Prox instead of being saved ended being blown the fuck out and start from there.
>>263558771
Ah, yeah you're right. I kept mistaking axes for great swords.
I'm in love with this bitch whose name I don't remember because Dark Dawn was shit.
>>263556260
Mah nigga
>>263558949
He's better than Piers and his shitty clone because he at least has access to the physical classes.
>>263558932
>sheba
>not superior waifu ivan
>>263542378
The first two Golden Sun games had some really great music for being on the GBA.

And I always loved that jingle that played whenever you found an item.
