This game looked more like a 3DS one than a DS one. Camelot knows how to make their games look amazing on any hardware… can't wait for a new golden sun or a remake
I believe this game has the most grandiose cutscenes in all DS games. Seriously, every Alchemist machine looks extremely cool, especially the re-ignition of Alchemy Forge and the whole activation sequence of Apollo Lens.
GSDD didn't do well because points of no return and other stuff. Nintendo thought we stopped loving the franchise but it was them. GSDD happened because someone made a fake cover which got them interested in it again.

They made good changes from TLA to DD, not just in graphics in some cases. Summons like Catastrophe, Charon, Atalanta Neptune or Daedalus are upgraded 3D versions of GBA's animations. Others, like Judgment, Kirin, Tiamat, Procne or Moloch, are the same but they added animations to show context of how they appear. Cases like Cybele, Ramses and Azul made much more sense now in how they attack. Summons like Megaera, Flora, Nereid and Coatlicue got "revised" models that made them look more like godesses and less like "generic anime girls" (in fact, Coatlicue's revised model was the best, since you can tell that Camelot DID an investigation about that godess to give her an aztec-like clothing, as a mexican, I simply loved the detail!). *Fun fact:* In the first trailer, when it was called just "Golden Sun DS", Nereid's boobs slightly bounce while riding her seahorse. And finally, summons like Meteor, Cybele, Boreas and Ulysses were a *HUGE* improvement in every way, giving then new animations, models and/or better context, making they look awesome! (I still can't believe how they managed to make a simple summon as Meteor from just a giant rock falling from space, to look like God itself taking the biggest rock from the asteroid belt to hurl it at your enemies at light-speed using the Force, but I just *LOVED* it.)
I wouldn't say everything was an upgrade. Certain viewpoints such as catastrophe doesn't give you such a good look at the design as much as the gba, and neirid was a woman on a frog so the context on that and some gas been lost. Beyond that, I always considered the sound effects better in the old as it was more snappy and impactful. And lastly, the particle effects in the past had different forms creating an understanding that everything was done out of psynergy than actual meteors at least to some degree like a mental battle between prof x and jean grey with physical damage. The effects added a lot of personality too. Some of this game loses that and a remake with this less impactful style wouldn't get my support. Maegara, Cybele, Ulysses, are better. Boreas is kind of weak in both to me. Thor loses context with that tech hammer form.
@@furyberserk yeah, a majority of the summons are way less impactful. For instance with Charon it was like.......is that it? Nowhere near as strong as the Lost Age version.
agreed! i'm kinda sad that they changed Boreas being a giant shaved ice machine, because that was weird and gave it charm. but a giant unicorn mech is also pretty cool. also, i notice Tiamat is more based on her dnd self than her mesopotamian self.
@@furyberserk true, while I do enjoy those animations, most summons, spells and weapon crits sounds much less impactful. I still Onder Hile they didn't kept more of the original sounds from the GBA game and it Ould have been much better !
man, the first time i saw cybele summon when this game was released.... its such a graphical masterpiece for Nintendo DS 3DS wasnt even around back then i guess
Dark Cloud I was stoked enough for the two original release s on Virtual Console for Wii U! But yes I totally agree. Imagine a character creation system where you could choose which element your adept could be and play online with others? New summons, more Djinn to collect, and most importantly...the continuation and growth of this series.
Back in my day, Nereid was a Japanese kimono-clad girl perched atop a turtle. But you know..... This one might be better, especially historically speaking.
I like that while the rest of the tier 4 pure element summons are calling upon some higher entity, entreating them to use their power, Meteor is literally just a mars adept (ostensibly) finding an immense source of heat in space and retreiving it
I think this one i never played before, animation really holds up to now, judgment and catastrophe look awesome in 3D, iris looks even more like a planetary nuke XD. Battle music is catchy too.
This game by complete accident was my first jrpg ever dark dawn will ever have a place in my heart as it struck a good balance. Not too easy you get board and not too hard that you give up. And no so long or grindy the story looses interest
I'm glad that battles in this game take place inside a separate reality from Weyard, because some of these summons can really just end the world in a single blow and a rag-tag team of teenagers casually use them to kill a bat and some rats.
I remember I couldn't share this experience with no one of my friends, even though I recommended it to them because the "lore was too long", but one of the best games, I had two files completed and one always available for any friends who would like to try
There was a comment once that said, Judgment was shown to do his job professional with knightly restraint and honor. Catastrophe is when he finally clocks out after a tiring day only to get mandatory overtime.
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 I played it back when I was young and stupid so I definitely could have missed a few I'm gonna have to go back and play through it
Fun thing to do. Mute the audio from this and cue up in another tab "those who accept the protection of the stars" and put it on loop. In fact, that song goes well with ANY compilation of summons
Pretty much most summons are like WMDs while looking fly as f***. Had these been summoned in another world like, say, a Fire Emblem one, armies would've been obliterated in seconds by the sheer awesomeness or gorgeousness and utter destruction that these primal beings had shown.
The funny fan interpretation I saw went like this: Judgment: Start his work shift. Catastrophe: When he about to finish his shift and the manager tells him he's got mandatory overtime.
Dare tell me there was no effort put on theses cutscene, from the Genesis, passing by the Sega Saturn and the GBA to the DS, Camelot RPG games always featured awesome battle cutscenes !
@@velvetbutterfly Oh hum because Camelot software planning who made the Shining series on Sega consoles also did a fantastic job on the battle scenes, and I was just saying that from the first RPGs they made to Golden Sun 3, the battle scenes / cutscenes were always awesome !
Judgement was a let down. For a nuke it sure looked like an energy ball moving closer to the target than an explosion moving closer at all. Depth of feel. Just grow the sphere until it looks like a wall hitting them rather than a ball the size of a small house.
yeah because with the gba, it feels like your handheld gonna break because of the fps drop and particle flood during the impact part, cant get more ooomph than that hahahahaha
Anton Tomas in Dark Dawn, after beating the final boss reload your save, I don't know if you need to do the other secret areas first, but to get to the boss that guards Iris, get on your boat and sail to the southernmost part of the map. There is a little peninsula type part, a whirlpool will be there if you meet the requirements. Sail into it and you'll appear in a new part of the water. There is a single island in this part, go to it and enter the dungeon. Iris awaits at the every end.
Might be nostalgia goggles but golden sun 2 did it best, these just sound like some stock sound effects you could find on google in minutes.. Kind of glad i didnt get this one even if I am a huge fan of golden sun.
It's actually a lot better than you might see it. Though it may not be as awesome as its predecessors, Dark Dawn is still a great game overall. It just goes way more in-depth into the story than the last 2 games. Honestly, if you are a huge fan, I'd recommend playing it. Just some friendly words :D
@@DeltaSilver88 the north part of the map was falling apart, that's why saturos and menardi needed to activate the lighthouses in order to stop the end of the world, but also doing that would cause the Golden Sun to destroy the world in a few decades
yeah, but some are bad or at least worse, like Thor, Boreas or Charon Thor is weird because 1. he Surfs in the sky on his Hammer an 2. i don`t know what he throws at the end, but it is not the mighty Hammer Boreas just turned into a Transformer and Charon is not that bad, but in the beginning he looks like he is sweeping the floor.

Dark Cloud indeed
Let's address the real issue here: Moloch is clearly a Digimon.
hey Digimon hey digimon
Really? Only Moloch?
We’re not going to acknowledge that Judgement shares significant design traits with Omegamon?
Not nearly enough belts
clearly Terriormon's other champion evolution
Some of these summons reminded a lot of Digimon. Very well-made. Awesome.
I love the power portrayed through these animations. It’s awe inspiring!
The music synced up pretty well for Tiamat.
mahn, GS summons sure cause some serious existential crisis even in an RPG huh.
Back in my day, Nereid was a Japanese kimono-clad girl perched atop a turtle. But you know..... This one might be better, especially historically speaking.

Oml this game. I was addicted to this game back then, along with aos, devil survivor, and others.
If nothing else about this series, they understood the damn assignment when it comes to summons.
I remember calling Zagan, Hades. And Megaera Hades Sister when I was young.
I need a remaster of this maaaaannnnn
They really updated the visuals on the summons.... my favorite are eclipse, judgement and catastrophe
I'm glad that battles in this game take place inside a separate reality from Weyard, because some of these summons can really just end the world in a single blow and a rag-tag team of teenagers casually use them to kill a bat and some rats.
To quote a certain knight, 'You're not casting magic. You're COMMITTING magic.'
I think it would be interesting if someone would analyze how powerful the characters and summons are.
I have the game, and I have seen them all.
Thank you for this video.☺
Megaera is epic.
There is a video of a nuclear reactor being started up elsewhere on youtube. Parts of it look an awful lot like the Tiamat summon.
I've played the game several times and have never even gotten or seen half of these summons. How the heck did I miss them? They're so cool!
Gather the djinns bro
I..... I've played this game three times
...... WHY ARE THERE SOME THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN?!???! WHERE DID I MISS THEM?!??!?!!!
YEAHHHH MANNN i know that feeling
Some of these summons are in secret dungeons that you need to go out of your way to find. Which summons don't you have?
Curious about the guy on the design team who looked at the Morgal Opera House's chandelier and said "What if it was a dragon?"
You mean....you don't know the story behind the Chandelier Dragon?
Oh so "Catastrophe" was a fallen "Judgement" afterall.

All this summons are different than the original duology mainly because of Alchemy release and it's been 30 years so they grow up and getting older.
