This is why we can't have nice things. A classic sleeper hit(s?) ACTUALLY gets the sequel it deserves and all you guys do is moan and bitch about how the originals are better. Take off your godamn rose-tinted glasses and play the game for real. It's just as good - if not better - than the first two.
I bet you're the type of people who say Pokemon Red/Blue had superior gameplay mechanics to Black/White.
@WhiteVII golden sun dark dawn is an amazing game, but i wouldn't go as far to say its the same or better than the previous games.It seems to be the first of two GS games for ds so its expected that it wouldn't be up to TLA standards. they still have a lot of room in a possible sequel to show more old characters and overall make a better game than TLA, but as of right now the lost age still comes out on top. with that said im more than happy that they made dark dawn on ds.
@Phantox Actually, it was longer than the first and almost as long as the second. And what "furry shit" aqre you talking? There's always been beastmen in Golden Sun. I think their existence is very logical since people near high wind psynergy concentrations often become beastmen.
I love golden sun too much to have my comments removed, please stop putting thumbs down on stuff for fun. Aside from my ranting this song is almost as good as Isaac's them; very well done.

whats wrong with you people, all sorts of comments are hidden because they have too many negative comments. some people deserve it but a game deserves to be criticized. just because this game was an 8 or 9 out of ten instead of infinite out of ten like the predecessors doesn't mean you should get upset.

@UltimateJman64 I've been playing this game series since I was 5 years old and it is more a part of my childhood then just about anyone out there, but if someone doesn't like the series or one of the games within the series I'd rather persuade them otherwise than tell them their wrong without any backbone.
i really like this theme, but it didn't stick as much as the earlier two.
the game itself was good, but i felt like it was missing a big chunk of depth. dark dawn was too easy to figure out, so i hope the next game is complex and laced with twists and puzzles like how golden sun really is.(:

Golden Sun isn't overrated, the GBA were masterpiece... Dark Dawn was just a disappointment. In fact it had nothing to do with the Golden Sun, so it might as well be a separate game.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
game sucked-too easy/ no hard mode like the first two, 2 many over powered unleashes, BUT awesome battle music...normal, boat, in darkness battle music
I miss digimon world 2003/3 ='(.... I wish they would make A sequal but I highly doubt it since I'm probably the only one alive that wants them to make one . And it's funny how Paper Mario (first one) is my ALL-TIME favorite game, yet it is so simple! I have played through it A year ago, and 3 years ago, and probably A little before that AND I have of course played it when I was A kid... games these days never give me the same feeling :(! That is why I hunt for older games that I haven't played!
I hope the next game has the battle menu at the start of the game(I used that a lot after I beat the lost age many times), and the ability to change the battle theme depending on what characters you use to fight unless it's a boss/specific area.
This game had some good songs that I wish we could've been able to hear more often than once or twice.(no music easter egg either because no battle menu)

@LeonWrightHearts I'm not a Golden Sun fanboy. Believe me, i think this series is EXTREMELY overrated. I like it at best, but after i'm done with the first game, the chances of me playing the rest of the series is unlikely. I just don't like it when people ask for thumbs ups when they know that all they'll get is thumbs downs. But since you asked so nicely, i'll give you a thumbs up....even though i won't change anything.
I was so happy for this game sequel ! It is just perfect ! Especially the musics, and this battle scene didn't disapointed me, it's really awesome !!
I never thought they'd top the original Golden Sun 1 battle theme but this is such a grower.....I think it's just as good and definitely up there! Hats off to Camelot because they didn't manage to fuck up this game which was a challenge to go back to! <3
This game is everything I had hoped it would be, and more. The general soundtrack is outstanding, and keeps to the original feel of the old games. The puzzles are at just about the right difficulty. The animation is great, the detail is dazzling, and the characters are deep and interesting. This game MUST be made into a movie. It deserves so much more credit than Nintendo has given it over the years.
It's too bad that it's so pagan, but I have no issues otherwise. What a game.

Dark Dawn was WAY too friggin easy. I would like more hit impact effect too. It's lacking compared to original golden suns which had crapier graphics.
There needs to be a sequel, because i'm pretty sure everyone here is wondering about Alex & Amiti. Amiti is my favorite character, so I was disappointed when he was still so clueless about Alex. WHO KNEW ALEX WAS SUCH A SLUT!!
@albinosquirrel21 How is Alex a slut....He most likely on farthered the child to get close to the royal family...Or for some other plot. I don't beleive that Alex could actually ever have feelings for someone else...as evidenced by his killing tens of thousands upwards of people by activating the Luna Tower.
Plus the puzzles were really easy, too - I didn't have trouble with any of them, except that one where you have to move those three statues without going over the same route - and then I found out afterwards that if you use Himi's sight psynergy it shows you the route to take for each of them, thus taking away any difficulty and defeating the object of it being a puzzle. -_-;;
@rexana No wait, it was Amiti's Insight. It had been ages since I played the game so I couldn't remember exactly where that part was, just started replaying it and got to that bit, much earlier on than I remembered. xD
The game was great, but too easy. I really hope they make the next one harder. By the end of the game I was getting 150,000 EXP a battle, and my team were levelling up every other fight, even though theywere already in the mid 50s. I never even had a charcter downed. I remember having to grind like mad for the final bosses in 1 & 2.
I wonder if the 4th game will up the Djinn limit. Although I doubt that, because as it stands the players can already as a party of 8 hold a total of 72 Djinn, and I think that's plenty for one game...
@swansfan4 So did I and it's strange because this is a rather cheerful theme and I normally don't like those. But this one is cheerful in a way that somehow really touches my heart. I think that is because there also is a touch of melancholy in there.
@umbreonix yea i'm pretty sure they'll add more lvl summons since they made dark dawn for the nostalgic among us who needed something similar to previous experiences, but for a sequel it will step up and go further. it already did with the new weapon system, it was appreciated. what I want to see now is a need to use psynergies in battle, like after casting a certain amount of time ragnarok and having the required lvl you get odyssey and so on for every base psynergies. or else it is too simple.
@umbreonix [CONTINUED] also reduce the exp gained by enemeis and try to follow what tla's exp rate. GS1 hadn't enough(saturos giving only 331exp) and dark dawn had too many(blados and chali giving as much as 15702exp).

Sadly this song is about all that's good with the game. Don't get me wrong, I pretty much loved GS 1 and 2, and tried to love this one too, but it just ended up being aweful.
@NeoArashi thats because you've understood nothing of it, I did and if it wasn't of the towned down battle difficulties, it would be my favourite goldensun.
sakuraba,how much emotion you created in first 00:07 seconds you can't imagine :) .although people might laugh at me but still i want to say your & uematsu's music makes me cry,specially GTA ending theme.
@Sttarman Hey i just like this game who would ever hate. i waited for this to come out. well i dont care the dislike from those people its them who decied weither they like it or not it. anyway i'm taking that comment out.
also, parts: 00:25-00:49 and 1:04-1:19 sorta sounds like mario golf from GCN. I mean, the whole song sounds like a mario golf course, but those parts sounds like it the most.
yeah, yeah and I know camelot makes mario tennis and mario golf...but still.
This was a ridiculously easy game! The game was great (lack of good music though except the battle themes) the last boss was very easy. Now Doom Dragon that boss made me want to slam my GBA..ahh good ol days
The ending of this game was just a killer for me...now I know I have to wait even longer for this games sequel, when the wait for this game was murder on me. I mean the ending was looking so peaceful, everything totally okay...they get back home and bam...interlude to the next GS. Still...it kinda made me cry.
@Shu512 Yeah, well, they did kinda COMPLETELY CHANGE THE PLOT on you, so I'm not surprised that there's another one coming. However, I would like the next one to actually have difficult combat....This one was rather easy.
@kirbyfreek33 It all happened so fast (except the final boss, he took a good 10 to 15 minutes). I'm trying to imagine the final boss for the fourth installment...and I'm thinking it might be that High Empryor guy that Arcanus, Blados and Chalis mention a bit.
Hopefully. Cliffhanger endings don't necessarily imply a sequel, they just give the devs something to work with and allow the possibility of a sequel without it seeming forced. In this case, I would love a sequel, since Dark Dawn didn't really deliver like either of the first two. The characters, especially the second party seemed extremely forced, and were only there for a short time before the premature ending of the game. The world was tiny and the game overall was far too easy.
@Abysia Mind you both the original Goldensun and the lost age were also easy after the expense of a shit load of grinding. DD god rid of the tedious grinding for more puzzels. I remember posiden in TLA being a bitch to defeat and after I grinded 10 levels or so he was no match for me.
No, DD got rid of the requirement of RPG skill. I never had to grind in TLA. If you play the game properly (don't run from too many battles and have a basic knowledge of the battle mechanics), you won't have to grind, and the bosses will be sufficiently challenging.
I didn't even have to grind when playing on hard difficulty. That's what made the game so great. Challenging yet not requiring mass grinding.
@shinymetroidX Doing it wrong?. Please explain, I'm playing an RPG where your characters get stronger via defeating enemies yet it is wrong to defeat enemies to get stronger?. Are you serious, That was prehaps the stupidest thing I have ever read. No offense intended.
@NANOFORGE You really don't get it, do you? The first two games require zero grinding, so you are doing something seriously wrong if you "need" to grind to beat anything. Maybe a tiny bit of grinding could help, but you imply shitloads was needed for the game to be easy, which has be ROFLing as I type this. I mean seriously, grinding 10 whole levels just to kill Poseidon? loooooooooool
@shinymetroidX The only thing that needed a little bit of grinding is if you were underleveled for the Doom Dragon. Not the toughest final boss ever but even at level 40 something, Djinni Storm still causes problem depending how many times he uses it.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Chrishhofgaruda I actually agree with you. I didn't expect much after the first two games, but they could have done a lot better than this. This game suffers some serious design flaws; the points of no return are one thing, but the whole remedial design of gameplay is the biggest problem. They clearly didn't make this game for vets, with all the mandatory idiot turtorials on Psynergy and whatnot. They went right back to square one trying to show everyone the sheer BASICS of the games again. -_-

@Chrishhofgaruda And for all those who disliked my comment a few weeks ago, I'm sure you all loved spending £30 on a quarter of the game. You never know, Camelot may pull their finger out and give is half of the story next time.

@kanoro16 The problem is that the Golden sun's for game boy advance were meant to be Prequels in a way to the DS games (although they were a perfect duo on there own). I was disappointed that the story had very little to do with any real story line that would sprout from lighting the elemental lighthouses. this game was more like a Pass-time quel until the real story begins in our long awaited new Golden sun Sequel.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@UltimateJman64 I really agree with you, it didn't give me the same feelings like the old games... Disappointment aside, I think that a last new game must be done....at least, if this game has to be considered the weakest link of the trilogy, the fourth one should be far superior in story and contents.
At least it's what I hope. Otherwise Camelot has definitely deceived us, for all these years.
@kanoro16 man I hope it doesn't just come out for the 3ds I already have 2 ds lites just in case if I have to do the data transfer just like the first two games.
This theme was good, I mean it fit nicely with the type of monsters you battle in GSDD. When monsters got all badass, that Eclipse one played, which sounded like you were fighting some crazy evil.
I spent the majority of the game trying to figure out which music sounds similar to music from the first two games. this battle theme sounds like isaac and jennas battle themes mixed but with a difference. one of the world map theme sounds similar to the world map theme from GS2 (before isaac joins the team). and I think everyone can agree that the bonus boss battle themes is definently saturos battle theme.
Just close your eyes at this moment, and imagine the shockwave of Judgement crashing across the beach pulling the seawater into its destructive clutch, ripping the forests and their trees apart with raging fury, anhilating villages and houses, then finally reaching its target...
What?!
Those miniscule Vermin monsters from the original Golden Sun???
Those harmless creatures carrying their tiny little pitchforks?!
Hey everybody! I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains electronic upbeat and ambient songs heavily inspired by the music of Motoi Sakuraba and the world of the Golden Sun Series. If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) .
@TheAntithesis7 well this is the best game they ever made i like it. who would ever hate. its just the people opinions. sry about that comment i made.
@TheAntithesis7 well this is the best game they ever made i like it. who would ever hate. its just the people opinions. sry about that comment i made.
is it on the 3DS? cause even though I would buy a 3DS just for Golden Sun but I simply can't afford to buy the game and a 3DS at the same time, I rather have it on the DS simply because it's more affordable but the 3DS has more potential.
i love this game and im still in shock that they made a new golden sun i hoped and prayed that this would happen lol now im currently playing this thank god;)
Same with me Dark Dawn is epic! and be ready for another sequel there is most likely a GS4 in the works since the ending of GS3 suggests a sequel not trying to spoil it for u.
@swordsaver wow i dont think you spoiled it that much and im happy that they will be making a gs4 and if its for the 3ds ill have to buy both lol which is gonna kill my pockets but o well
by the next year or 2 there should be a sequel, and ur right it will kill my pockets thats why i'm hopeing for a DS sequel but if it's 3DS than whatever it's gonna be awesome either way.
I hope Camelot makes some great software for the Wii U.

@umbreonix yea i'm pretty sure they'll add more lvl summons since they made dark dawn for the nostalgic among us who needed something similar to previous experiences, but for a sequel it will step up and go further. it already did with the new weapon system, it was appreciated. what I want to see now is a need to use psynergies in battle, like after casting a certain amount of time ragnarok and having the required lvl you get odyssey and so on for every base psynergies. or else it is too simple.

@umbreonix [CONTINUED] also reduce the exp gained by enemeis and try to follow what tla's exp rate. GS1 hadn't enough(saturos giving only 331exp) and dark dawn had too many(blados and chali giving as much as 15702exp).

Sadly this song is about all that's good with the game. Don't get me wrong, I pretty much loved GS 1 and 2, and tried to love this one too, but it just ended up being aweful.

also, parts: 00:25-00:49 and 1:04-1:19 sorta sounds like mario golf from GCN. I mean, the whole song sounds like a mario golf course, but those parts sounds like it the most.
yeah, yeah and I know camelot makes mario tennis and mario golf...but still.

This was a ridiculously easy game! The game was great (lack of good music though except the battle themes) the last boss was very easy. Now Doom Dragon that boss made me want to slam my GBA..ahh good ol days

The ending of this game was just a killer for me...now I know I have to wait even longer for this games sequel, when the wait for this game was murder on me. I mean the ending was looking so peaceful, everything totally okay...they get back home and bam...interlude to the next GS. Still...it kinda made me cry.

@Shu512 Yeah, well, they did kinda COMPLETELY CHANGE THE PLOT on you, so I'm not surprised that there's another one coming. However, I would like the next one to actually have difficult combat....This one was rather easy.
kirbyfreek33 1 year ago
@kirbyfreek33 It all happened so fast (except the final boss, he took a good 10 to 15 minutes). I'm trying to imagine the final boss for the fourth installment...and I'm thinking it might be that High Empryor guy that Arcanus, Blados and Chalis mention a bit.

@kanoro16
Hopefully. Cliffhanger endings don't necessarily imply a sequel, they just give the devs something to work with and allow the possibility of a sequel without it seeming forced. In this case, I would love a sequel, since Dark Dawn didn't really deliver like either of the first two. The characters, especially the second party seemed extremely forced, and were only there for a short time before the premature ending of the game. The world was tiny and the game overall was far too easy.
Abysia 1 year ago
@Abysia Mind you both the original Goldensun and the lost age were also easy after the expense of a shit load of grinding. DD god rid of the tedious grinding for more puzzels. I remember posiden in TLA being a bitch to defeat and after I grinded 10 levels or so he was no match for me.
NANOFORGE 1 year ago
@NANOFORGE
No, DD got rid of the requirement of RPG skill. I never had to grind in TLA. If you play the game properly (don't run from too many battles and have a basic knowledge of the battle mechanics), you won't have to grind, and the bosses will be sufficiently challenging.
I didn't even have to grind when playing on hard difficulty. That's what made the game so great. Challenging yet not requiring mass grinding.
Abysia 1 year ago
@NANOFORGE lol grinding in Golden Sun? You're doing it wrong, games are easy without grinding the whoooole way through.
shinymetroidX 1 year ago
@shinymetroidX Doing it wrong?. Please explain, I'm playing an RPG where your characters get stronger via defeating enemies yet it is wrong to defeat enemies to get stronger?. Are you serious, That was prehaps the stupidest thing I have ever read. No offense intended.
NANOFORGE 1 year ago
@NANOFORGE You really don't get it, do you? The first two games require zero grinding, so you are doing something seriously wrong if you "need" to grind to beat anything. Maybe a tiny bit of grinding could help, but you imply shitloads was needed for the game to be easy, which has be ROFLing as I type this. I mean seriously, grinding 10 whole levels just to kill Poseidon? loooooooooool
shinymetroidX 1 year ago
@shinymetroidX The only thing that needed a little bit of grinding is if you were underleveled for the Doom Dragon. Not the toughest final boss ever but even at level 40 something, Djinni Storm still causes problem depending how many times he uses it.

@Chrishhofgaruda I actually agree with you. I didn't expect much after the first two games, but they could have done a lot better than this. This game suffers some serious design flaws; the points of no return are one thing, but the whole remedial design of gameplay is the biggest problem. They clearly didn't make this game for vets, with all the mandatory idiot turtorials on Psynergy and whatnot. They went right back to square one trying to show everyone the sheer BASICS of the games again. -_-

@kanoro16 The problem is that the Golden sun's for game boy advance were meant to be Prequels in a way to the DS games (although they were a perfect duo on there own). I was disappointed that the story had very little to do with any real story line that would sprout from lighting the elemental lighthouses. this game was more like a Pass-time quel until the real story begins in our long awaited new Golden sun Sequel.

@UltimateJman64 I really agree with you, it didn't give me the same feelings like the old games... Disappointment aside, I think that a last new game must be done....at least, if this game has to be considered the weakest link of the trilogy, the fourth one should be far superior in story and contents.
At least it's what I hope. Otherwise Camelot has definitely deceived us, for all these years.

I spent the majority of the game trying to figure out which music sounds similar to music from the first two games. this battle theme sounds like isaac and jennas battle themes mixed but with a difference. one of the world map theme sounds similar to the world map theme from GS2 (before isaac joins the team). and I think everyone can agree that the bonus boss battle themes is definently saturos battle theme.
