I, too, absolutely love this game. I just got it a few months ago, but regard it as one of my favorite RPGs, much less on the GameBoy Advance alone. The battle system is great, the graphics are spellbounding, and there's so much that you can do that it's a wonder what GameBoy Advance can do after this.

I am, however, stuck on one point. You know the snow levels? Where the world map is completely white? How about the lighthouse? Well, I've gotten pretty far in the lighthous. I even dropped down to a statue place that says something about a swan in the middle of a pond. But...I have no idea what to do now. Am I stuck? Do I use a particular item? Help!!

I've been stopping myself from going against everyone else about this game, but I can't anymore.

I found Golden Sun to be predictable, tedious and boring. Yes, the graphics for the most part are great. The sound is some of the best on the system. Personally, these mean little to me in RPGs and as long as they're decent, I'm good.

My problems lie with the actual gameplay. I liked that you had to use spells in the actual town and dungeon areas to get places... but other than that I found nothing special. The battles are simply boring and poorly balanced, you could easily just use Djinn to blast through everything. This is probably the only RPG I've played since DW2 that has characters attack a targeted enemy even if it's already dead.

The translation is way to stiff, the story just didn't interest me and very few of the characters interested me at all.

Of course, this is all personal experience. Everyone else can love it all they want :).

You go up to the statue and use Ply. It'll reveal some platforms that glow. These platforms allow you to hop on the water for 3 moves.

My friend keeps asking me what you're supposed to do after you recover the stolen treasure in that one town (where you read people's minds). I think something happens, and some caravan moves northward. I can't remember, so I was hoping one of you could. Thanks :).

After you recover the stolen treasure. You help to the right all the way on the world map. You go to the cave, where you meet up with Ivan again. Then you through the cave into Bilbin, but you might as well ignore it cause you don't do anything there anyways. You might as well go all the way to Imil, which is to the north.
Now I have a question, when is Golden Sun: The Lost Age coming out? My sources say this Christmas, but others tell me in June or even Christmas 2003!!! Nintendo has no comment and its driving me insane! This game is already out in Japan and what I have heard is devastating to players of Golden Sun!
The main character is no longer Issac. Its Felix. The new crew is Felix, Sheba, Jenna and Picard (a man from Lemuria). They're seen in the attachment. Then about halfway through the game the former crew and the new crew join up. Then its all eight of them versus two new enemies, similar to Menardi and Sautorous, named Karst and Agatio.
The sequel is killer but its crazy that we have to wait this long!

[B]Cool game, sucky end (cause of the shortness of the game) and to short. [/B][/QUOTE]
I didn't find it that short, actually. I'm in the middle of it right now, in fact, and it seems long enough at the moment. You probably find it short because you're setting the bar high; you've played long rpgs before and expect Golden Sun to be just as long. For a gameboy advance game, this [i]is[/i] pretty long, and since this is one of the first rpgs I've gotten into in a while, this is a really great and long game.

[color=darkred] Golden Sun was an excellent game...best graphics i've ever seen on GBA, and i'd say in certain circumstances the graphics are better than on FF7...I can't wait till Lost Age comes out...It's set to Jan. 2003 last time I heard..already have 90$ saved up for it.:p Oh, and BTW, if anyone needs help or something in it, PM me, i've beaten it all the way through getting every item and all that. *Dreams of a Golden Sun GC RPG*...*Drools*[/color]

[COLOR=deeppink]I don't really like Golden Sun. It was okay throughout the game, even though the talking parts were boring as hades... It was the ending that ruined it for me. I'm not going to spoil it, I'm just saying that the makers of Golden Sun are money-grubbing.[/COLOR]
