I'm about to play GS 1 and 2 again

eff it i am

I would've too if I didn't replay them last year. Maybe if I'm crazy enough I'll play them again right before the release.

Oh and, the Felix battle theme is my favourite from the series.

I too will start playing Golden Sun again a month or 2 before the release

I don't know if anyone will remember this or not, but in The Lost Age, there is a little side quest you do where you speak to all these animals and you trade items with them, and get an accessory at the end of it or something. W/e. Well. I just loaded my save of The Lost Age and remembered that after I had spoken to this cow and traded this item, Felix got stuck next to the cow and couldn't move :lol Fucking glitch.

 

[Blackhead]

thanks for the heads up. seems GT changed the page. i updated OP with the new link and included the Gamespot one if GT doesn't work again.

thanks.

Is that real 3D or 2.5D? AS long as they don't mess with the puzzle formula too much...

 

[LiK]

added official art with logo into the OP, or just get it here

warning, it's big.

Without the logo.

i'll add the non-logo version to OP as well. thanks.

 

[bdouble]

I forfeit my av yours looks much better did you use the full res one?

[Femmeworth]

Judging by that new art, it looks like Mia and Issac had children together. I'm basing that off of the purple eyes, though technically the girl's father could be Ivan.

The flute type of sound they did with GBA was amazing, along with the "OOH" stuff in the background. I'll be playing my DS connected to my Z-5500 with this! They better keep that style!

Damn, I forgot how amazing the soundtrack was.

 

[Blackhead]

Damn, I forgot how amazing the soundtrack was.

Started playing it again and the sweet memories are flooding back

Guess i'm out $20.

 

[loosus]

Wow, this game looks like complete and utter shit. The way they are going about this brings together the worst of 2D and 3D in one package.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Wait who had kids with who? @_@

 

[Apenheul]

I've got only one wish for Golden Sun DS, please please don't allow saving just after a point-of-no-return like on the ship in the first game. I can't for the life of me beat that boss with my current stats.

 

[Nemo]

Someone do a GAF plays thread before this hits, I'm totally in!

 

[Regulus Tera]

Wait who had kids with who? @_@

My guess is Isaac and Mia hooked up together. Which makes me sad for Jenna, since she had a more blatant crush on Isaac.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Oh, btw: Fusion Dragon battle theme > Isaac's battle theme > Doom Dragon battle theme > Felix battle theme >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jenna's battle theme

You flipped the < around, but that's okay.

I thought that there's a button combination that you can push when you load a save so that it will always return your characters to a previously-visited Sanctum?

 

[lancubap]

I wish I could find an interview with Camelot. It would be interesting.

 

[Aeana]

I thought that there's a button combination that you can push when you load a save so that it will always return your characters to a previously-visited Sanctum?

Yes -- L+start+select when you load a file.

 

[Firestorm]

It's been so long I can hardly remember the story. I feel like playing again.

 

[PataHikari]

There is.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Golden Sun's one of the few RPGs with random battles I actually played through and beat -- multiple times!

Me too!
Actually its the only random battle rpg Ive played through multiple times.

Man, the Venus Lighthouse was (and still is) so damn epic.. :_______________)

You forgot the best one:

No. Actually the normal battle theme is the best:

Kinda wishing for no random battles in GSDS, though...

True.
I was expecting Golden Sun Wii, but this Golden Sun DS looks so good!!! Thanks Camelot.

 

[soldat7]

How long are the GBA games?

 

[Lagunamov]

How long are the GBA games?

Golden Sun: 10-15 hours.
Golden Sun 2: 20-25 hours.

 

[-Kh-]

There have been no interviews with Camelot yet?

 

[soldat7]

Golden Sun: 10-15 hours.
Golden Sun 2: 20-25 hours.

Cool. Thanks.

 

[Apenheul]

Yes -- L+start+select when you load a file.

Great, I'll try it tonight! This time I'm going to pay some attention to that element stuff, I totally ignored it before I got stuck on the ship.

Mud-shipping > Lava-Shipping

 

[Regulus Tera]

Mud-shipping > Lava-Shipping

I suddenly had flashbacks to the Golden Sun Inn stories. :lol

 

[JaMarco]

Mud-shipping > Lava-Shipping

wat

 

[UltimateIke]

wat

Unless I'm mistaken,

 

[-x.Red.x-]

I believe Isaac ends up with Jenna.
garet with Mia
felix and sheba
ivan is too young and piers is too old LoL

 

[Regulus Tera]

Garet and Mia make no goddamn sense.

Felix and Sheba I can kind of see.

 

[USD]

Golden Sun: 10-15 hours.
Golden Sun 2: 20-25 hours.

I'd say those are pretty low estimates, though I'm sure you can beat both games in those times. I remember putting in about 25 hours into Golden Sun and about 40 into The Lost Age, with some thorough exploration in both games but no (intentional) grinding.

 

[Night_Trekker]

I have to finish Golden Sun 2, now that I have more GS to look forward to when I'm done

Great news. I'll miss the pseudo-3D look that the previous games had, but the trailer footage has be committed to the new game.

 

[PataHikari]

Let's see

*picks up my copy of GS1*

Ah. Last time I played it, I beat it in 18 hours, got everything. Issac and Garret were level 28, Ivan and Mia were 27

 

[thetrin]

i wish i didn't sell my DS now

WHY WOULD YOU SELL YOUR DS?!

Of all the fucking consoles you could sell, why did you sell YOUR DS?!

"Hmmm, awesome games constantly come out for the DS, but I'm pretty sure after today, everything will stink. Oh well, I need weed cash anyway."

 

[Yottamole]

Garet and Mia make no goddamn sense.

They do

Spoiler

end up in the same screenshot in GS2's ending cutscenes...

:lol

real 3D

I'm wondering why there's only 3 people there? Does that mean that the 4th adept is an enemy?

 

[Neomoto]

Wow, this game looks like complete and utter shit. The way they are going about this brings together the worst of 2D and 3D in one package.

Seriously? I think the trailer looks incredible.

Gone also are buttons: from the tiny snippet of gameplay available on the show floor, Golden Sun looks to be heading in a stylus-only direction.

 

[jj984jj]

Most of it was a movie, I doubt that "demo" was really indicative of the controls. I wonder if the guy was tapping things as the movie was going on and thought he was controlling the game...
