There's plenty of classic RPG games that have been released on so many platforms in the early 2000s, and Golden Sun was an original IP on the GBA. Though it takes on all the predictable RPG tropes, and the plot can be generically fantasy at times, it's the way the mechanics of the game shine through that makes this really special, along with how they handle how your character perceives their role in this world. It's gonna take time to get all the different types of magic, or "synergy" as they call it, to 100% Golden Sun

What IP that has never been an RPG or a JRPG would you love to see adapted into one?
The Completionist donkey Kong
The Dresden Files, a series of novels by author Jim Butcher. They're ripe for any kind of video game adaptation.
Zelda JRPG anyone?
Soul Calibur has great potential for an RPG spin-off
Dune, the novel by Frank Herbert. It has a great world that would be awesome for an RPG
I would to see Monolith Soft make a game based off of Made in Abyss.
The Golden Sun series _needs_ to be remastered/collected for the Switch. Even better, use it as a selling point to release Golden Sun 4.
While I liked gs3, I feel like it kinda ended the series... I dont think they feel it's worth it.
@@clydefrosch bruh... dark dawn ended on a huge cliffhanger. A fourth Golden sun game may fix that issue. I said may since it might also end on a cliffhanger and leave it to a fifth game to end it.
@@edboy5418 not ended as in completed the story. ended as in broke it. like spiderman 3 ended the maguire spiderman
@@clydefrosch Same answer, a fourth game may fix that issue. Look at Fire emblem, before Awakening only thing people know from/about it were the characters Marth, Roy and Ike because they appeared in Smash.
@@clydefrosch Honestly, if Nintendo and Camelot went in and remastered all 3 games, Dark Dawn could be salvaged to a degree. Not entirely, but they could at least make it LOOK better, which is honestly one of my biggest issues with the game. So many NDS games look 100x better than Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. As far as a fourth game, remastering all 3 games would be a great step in the right direction.
My heart aches every time I see golden sun. Someday, Isaacbros, someday...
The golden sun will rise again once more
Someday, but not today.
Damn them for that cliffhanger.
Too bad the last golden sun game was extremely lackluster
"I felt that there was no reason to get all the Djinn or psynergy"
[Laughs in Dullahan]
Laughs in Anemos
Sadly he doesn't know that. I didn't and didn't have one djinn for it.
Lost Age is incredible, absolutely massive for a GBA game. Maybe someday the two will get remastered as one whole game like they was intended to be!
Laughs in the superiority of ninjas samurai bard class
if i remember the lost age had a catch up mechanic for djinn
that allows you to catch one of each elemental djinn you missed
Golden sun + GS Lost Age remastered for switch? I'd buy it.
Even dark dawn, never finished that one myself
I need this
Yep, I still remember doing the RNG method to get all items exclusive to GS1 transferrable by code to GS2. Awesome games
I would buy them too except dark dawn, that one was disappointing as soon as I started moving around.
That would be MY reason to buy a Switch. Unless they do the same graphic mistake with character models in the so called Remake of Link's Awakening, tho it's clearly a Re-Imagening with a few new features. Then no.
JIRARD GIVE US GOLDENSUN 4 , I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
The golden sun will rise again some day
A L L O F M Y Y E S
DO IT!!!
Make our dreams come true.
YES PLEASE
Golden Sun is in the upper echelon of JRPG's it contains all the important elements and is composed in such a way that all are blended together evenly.
The golden sun will rise again once again
@@guillecatoniryan7092 And Breach of Fire short after that :D
I'm so happy that there a still some people who remember the golden sun series...
Not only do I remember it, but it is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. I'm obsessed with this series.
But for some reason they're forgetting about dark dawn
Always will always have!!
Love this game! just got originals back after they were stolen, now to get my gba back too haha.
I am thinking about to buy this game for wii u
You should definelty check out the sequel. Golden sun the lost age is easily in my top 3 rpgs of all time.
agreed, huge and better game imo!
He better learn the easy rng manipulation this time or the grind for rare drops will be insane
that game is AMAZING
It's in my Top 10, including Skies of Arcadia Legends :D
I absolutly love the story of those two games combined and the twist of goals at the beginning of the second one
Golden sun is a real gem. Played through it multiple times.
Billions of times
One of the most underrated JRPGs of all time, stunning graphics, a deep story, interesting puzzles, some of the best music and sound effects on console and actually challenging.
I won’t knock anything else you said there, a lot of the game play elements are solid, but the story is the one thing I had an issue with. It had so many plot holes and contrivances that I just wanted to rip my hair out. A lot of JRPGs keep things simple, so if they have a hiccup you can forgive it because it doesn’t take you out of the moment. The Golden Sun though tries to go deep and complicated... then it doesn’t know how to tie up loose ends so it just handwaves them away by essentially having characters tell you to not pay attention to the plot holes, it makes sense in some universe.
music by sir motoi sakuraba
Agreed.
The first time I ever saw the Judgment summon cutscene, this game made me feel extra special and powerful for collecting the djinn. Seeing their power unleashed as summons was extremely satisfying.
Dude same judgement summon was my favorite in the first game when part two came out it changed to Eclipse and Catastrophe summons
@@keithstone135 I think the Catastrophe cinematic earned the game a legit video game award for best use of GBA graphics.
@@silver3981 Golden Sun is easily my favorite GBA game, but for best GBA graphics I would HAVE to give it to Super Robot Taisen OG, the mech attacks are insane for a GBA game
I'm still reeling at the fact that Dark Dawn ended on a friggin cliffhanger 9 YEARS AGO.
Goddamnit hearing that theme song again brings back my childhood!
Bro, that cliffhanger is 1 year old for me now, and I’m still waiting for the next one. I can’t imagine waiting a full decade for GS4.
Shining Force III Scenario 3 ended on a cliffhanger 23 years ago.
mega man zx advent syndrome
Golden Sun absolutely deserves a character and stage in Smash.
Yes they do it's been waaaaaaay overdue for one
I got an Isaac outfit for my Mii swordfighter. Called her Miisaac ^_^
Isaac/Felix and Venus Lighthouse
@@PunkDisciple23 Isaac with Felix echo. Colosso battle theme and Link (pvp) battle theme. I know we just got another mixed sword/magic fighter in DQ Hero, but Isaac/Felix have always been my most wanted characters in Smash.
@@azurepulse1870 Isaac/Felix battle theme, Saturos theme, Fusion Dragon theme, and Venus/Mars Lighthouse for music imo
Golden Sun was the first game I got for GBA. I remember being blown away at the graphics and gameplay compared to what I had on GBC.
Game taco u and me together, "complete Monster Hunter!! "
Back in 2001 my father sent me a GBA and i went to Sam Club to get Rayman 1 where my parents shopped...then it was gone so i went for Golden Sun...the art box was so beautiful...when i played it it was amazing blew me away. To this day...wow.
Golden Sun wasn't my first RPG, that honor belongs to Pokemon Red, but damn if it didn't cement my love of the genre for all time.
It's definitely my favorite after Super Mario RPG
This and ff7 changed gaming for me when i was younger
is pokemon really an rpg
The Golden Sun is so sadly underappreciated. I'd love to see a GS game for switch.
If so I will buy a Switch. I am just waiting for a REAL reason to.
Leon aka Devil's D Do you have a reason to get one now?
You have no idea how many years I have been waiting for this episode. Golden Sun is one of my favorite game series of all time.
Praise the Sun
Me too! It was the first videogame I ever owned personally.
Issac' assist trophy in Smash Ultimate is perfect. It's a great representation of the broken hopes and dreams of Golden Sun fans.
He’s NEVER going to be in smash!!!!
I cannot throw away my hopes for another title, or maybe even a remake of the first two titles, though.
them literally cutting him as an assist then re-adding him as one is still genuinely fucked up
He's never gonna be in smash, but his movement could be so interesting.
Slick God go away!
Yes! No one EVER talks about Golden Sun. Thank you Jirard!
We got a shout out at the Game Awards this year. The Golden Sun will rise again!
Ah yes, Golden Sun. What a game. Still waiting for a new game...
Aren't we all?
Same, i got into the series thanks to Hcbaily's lps
Still waiting for the 4th game myself
Been waiting for a proper conclusion to Dark Dawn.
wasn't there one or a remark on the DS?
May the sun rise on this dead series someday. I miss it dearly..
The golden sun will rise once again, have no doubt
Kirbythefat it would be awesome if they did a remaster of it, on the Switch!
@@pheonixfire9517 the statement is: "If players want it we would consider making one."
Me: Then STOPP MAKING TENNIS GAMES Gamelot
@@XLuxtra Lmao hopefully they just don't do golf afterwards.
@@Nighttale233 probably they will.
Nice Nightingale btw. Is it Treatment time again? I think Gamelot is sick as well so you might have to check it out anytime soon.
I want to bathe in Golden Sun's soundtrack. Motoi Sakuraba is a genius.
I'm so happy that this series is finally getting some love - the two GBA games combined are up there with Chrono Trigger as the most enjoyable, well-paced, satisfying RPGs of all time, plus that Sakuraba soundtrack is some of the greatest audio on the system, period - especially the battle themes. It is worth it to at least get all the Djinn, since you have to have ALL of them in both games to get the final summon in Lost Age, but as far as grinding goes, you really don't have to go above level 30-40 for Deadbeard or the final boss, and the best weapon for Isaac in GS1 is in the final dungeon anyway (plus if I remember some of those really rare drops won't carry over to TLA..).
I still remember when I first played this game. My mom got me a GBA as a surprise along with two games: Golden Sun and Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace. I didn't fall in love with it immediately but over time it really grew on me and helped me appreciate RPG's that much more.
Those two games are iconic
@Gary_Ravinsky Golden Sun is still as good as I remember it, but Mysterio's Menace hasn't aged too well in my personal opinion. I tried playing it again some time ago and I just could not get used to the controls. I definitely had a lot more patience back in the day for some games.
This game and its sequel combined are my favorite RPG. The second game is a direct continuation of the story, so I count them as one game.
The King of Cucumbers its almost identical to the sonic 3 and knuckles situation where they are basically 1 story cut in half due to development limitations
Except the sequel makes all the flaws with original worse with annoying backtracking and a large big open world that is empty and slow with the lack of fast travel makes the original superior
They were originally 1 game, they were broken up due to size constraints.
Golden Magikarp5 seems like a you problem. Everyone I know loves the second one over the first. Might have to finish crying that river, and then get the fuck over it.
I also grinded my party to level 56 once. I bought it in 2001 and just plaed the heck outta it.
54 is the highest level where any character learns a new psynergy power (Grand Gaia for Isaac) in the original. Anything above that is just overkill, even anything above 45 is overkill. Especially when lost age has ways to easily grind to level 99 with Phoenix spawns.
@@Stauf1515 Especially when you can easily finish the game at level 25 (if you have all Djinns) as by that point you have the most busted psynergy power in the game: Wish.
Any spell in a rpg that let's you heal everyone at once is busted and I love it.
God I love Golden Sun so much. I replay it almost every year!
Me too!
Finally, one of my favorite youtubers covers my favorite game!!
*our favourite game
Gui c the best Rpg of all time
In my heart, Golden Sun 4 is a reality. Someday.. Someday, right? A man can dream!
I mean we waited long enough for Kingdom Hearts III, so the wait for Golden Sun IV continues...
We also got Megaman Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. 2019 is a good year.
Pretty sure that one's dead, given how unimpressive Dark Dawn was... but we can always hope for a remaster or reboot!
All your concerns with the 1st one are answered in the 2nd game. End game challenges, more story-focused, difficulty spike with one secret boss in particular
That is to true. I feel like we shouldn't let him know about the 3rd though... I loved it, but the cliff hanger...
The second was initially intended as the second half of the first game, so that makes sense
GS & GSTLA need to be remastered beautifully and detailed with love and I'm sure fans will reward Nintendo with their pockets open me included!
YES! 1 and 2 were amazing. I hope we see 4 one day...Dark Dawn left on a cliffhanger, man
True
For real? Geez. Did they not learn from doing that the first time around?
Ugh, I hate that ending so much. Especially now that it's been several years since it's release with no word on any kind of closure. It's almost easier forgetting Dark Dawn happened.
@@Silyon487 True. I still really like the game, but it can be forgettable at times. Worst part is, the Takahashi brothers (God bless them) called 1 and 2 "prequels" and that Dark Dawn was the story they were getting around to. And now, look where we are. Hopefully they can get crowdfunding some day and make more happen, kinda like how "Bloodstained" got made by the guy from the Castlevania series
Golden Sun: The Lost Age is my favorite RPG of all time. The story perspective made me rethink everything in the first game. I also prefer it's silent protagonist
I'm so happy that you covered Golden Sun! I'm hoping they either get a remake of the original two games, or a new game in general.
I love that someone besides me is talking about Golden Sun in 2019.
I still talk about this amazing series and I will even when I get 80 years old :D
The comments here give me hope, there is still alot of love for this gem!
My god, someone actually doing a video on golden sun, can't wait for him to hit up the sequel since it "requires" you to 100% the first game to 100% the sequel
yeep only way to get Isis
I like to consider those 2 as if they were only one
Jirard NEEDS to take on the Dullahan. He makes Deadbeard look like a little kitten
@@RexActive4 yup he does :)
I think Jirard kinda forgot that this is only the first half. He’s over leveled here, but he’s still not strong enough for the end of book 2.
The Mad Man did it! Can we give this man the Golden UA-camr award? My Man really completed Golden Sun. It's a good day to be a Golden Sun or Completionist fan.
I second this motion!
Thrided
Sorry but it's far from completed... He didn't initiate the Golden Sun event. Which is in game 2...
Im just happy golden sun is getting more attention. This year is the year of remakes/remasters, if were lucky golden sun could hop unto the fray.
Thank goodness for the Wii U virtual console! I got the available Fire Emblem, Golden Sun and Advance Wars games 👍🏻
Grave news Nintendo just announced that they are going to remove the ability to add money to 3ds and Wii u in Europe I advise that if you want to get any virtual console games now would be the time to do it before they remove it for North America and other regions
Golden Sun is such a classic. I wasted so many hours playing this on my GBA..
Totally
Wasted?! Time very well spent.
Definitely not a waste my friend.
I echo my compatriots here, never a waste. Vale's theme is the anthem of my childhood even now.
Holy shit I never expected to see this. I loved this game! It was the first game I ever owned at age 7!
Naturally only one member of the party wanders around on the map.
-Laughs in Breath of Fire
I literally just beat this game a couple days ago and started the Lost Age yesterday. Epic.
goodluck airs rock
@@ticklemetanner888 Air's Rock isn't THAT hard. Once you went through it first, the next playthroughs make it a joke. It's a question of memory.
@@Ipitydafool2005
Ah yes for us old players but if your new you’ll get sick to it
@@ticklemetanner888 Exactly. Let's see... the first time I played Air's Rock... It was when I was around seventeen... The time the second game had come out back in 2003. That takes me back.
@@Ipitydafool2005
I didn’t play the first golden sun and I got the lost age given by my cousin from Germany
It’s in German
And I had to figure it out where to go and what to do
I reach airs rock and I suffered from there and I stopped playing this game
2 years ago I decided to play the entire game on an emulator
And boi when I reach aura rock once again on the lost age it took me 3-5 hrs and it was so satisfying when I finally got the Reveal rock
Yess!!! Jirard is finally playing Golden Sun! I’ve been recommending this game to people for years! So many good memories of this game and The Lost Age :)
Finally some bigger youtubers are giving this classic some love. Thanks so much Jarard !
I can’t believe I missed this episode. This game is my favorite of all time. Thanks for shining some light on this game.
It was really cool seeing you Complete this Jirard! I always hear so much abouy Golden Sun from a few friends of mine. It was amazing to learn about it! I hope it gets a remake soon
Jirard, I'm so happy that you played and completed this game, it's one of my favorite games ever, I still remember way back when I recommended this game to you during that podcast.
For anyone that wants to play this game, I wanna share a few pro-tips:
1) Jenna will abandon your party early on, so you don't need to equip her, so before going to the Sol Sanctum, go to the entrance of Vale and buy the best equipment for Isaac and Garet, sell Jenna's equipment and even sell the Ticket that the shop owner will give you, this way you can afford everything for the boys. Also, if you wish to grind inside Sol Sanctum a little bit more, let Jenna get killed, once she reaches level 4 enemies will stop spawning, so you know, there's that.
2) There's a glitch at the start of the game, before you enter the first cave when you're going from Vault to Bilibin. Go east of the cave in the overworld and keep walking until you sort of glitch-walk by the side of the river, I recommend to save before each fight, because the monsters that spawn here are the enemies that show up around the Xian area, so they're pretty strong. You can grind here before going to Imil and fight Saturos.
3) Once you get reveal, USE IT EVERYWHERE! You'll find apples, loafs of bread and other items that increase your HP, attack and other stats.
4) When you finish the evil desert you can go back to Vale, and if you do you can get inside a cave that contains a wind djinn and a jupiter psyenergy that will help you when you go to Crossbone Island.
5) If you wish to go to Crossbone Island while you're crossing the Karagol Sea, when they ask you to choose people to row the boat, put fighters and strong people on the left and old people and ladies on the right, the ship will change directions and take you there. You won't get very far, but you can sell all the stuff that you find there and buy better gear.
6) When you reach Tolbi, use all those play tickets that vendors give to you when you buy gear to get boots and shirts (it's located on the top right of Tolbi), I recommend fast boots and sport shirts to increase your speed.
7) If you wish to grind before facing Deadbeard, you don't have to grind in the final room, you can grind even faster in the final desert, there are these enemies that create tornadoes and you have to use rain to fight them, the strategy is to make everyone faster than Isaac (remember the boots and the shirts? you can remove those from Isaac, for example), so they wither the enemy HP just enough for Isaac to kill them with a Venus Djinn, like Flint for example. This will give you even more EXP and by killing all the enemies and then leaving to rest in the nearby village, you can repeat this process and reach level 40 crazy fast, also you get a lot of money, and you might need it for the next game... speaking of the next game...
8) You can get your own personal password for the second game once you beat this one, what you need to do is, after you create a final save file, you hold LEFT and R and then press START, you will see a new SEND option, and you can either connect another GBA with a cable for transfer, or get the password, and you guessed it, write that sucker down! And also about the next game...
9) Once you start The Lost Age, use the password, because you will unlock gear and benefits from the first game right around the start of the adventure, and among the things that you have to do include:
- Return to Vault when you beat the evil desert and talk to the mayor, he'll tell you that the bandits escaped, and they will show up early in the second game to fight you, and you will get the golden boots which increase your agility like a nutcase.
- When Ivan gets Reveal, go east of that temple and use it to save Hsu, and Feizhi will give you an accessory in the second game.
- The gladiators will return to face Isaac once again by the later half of the game, and you'll get the golden shirt which, again, is incredibly good.
10) By the end of the game I recommend to change the classes for everyone so Isaac and Garet become Ninjas with high attack and speed, and Ivan and Mia become Sages with access to Pure Wish.
11) And finally, there's a glitch in the game that allows you to get rare armor and weapons without having to grind, all you have to do is save the game, soft reset and walk around the area where the enemy that holds the item spawns, it MUST be accompanied by at least one more enemy, and depending on the item... well, you can check the golden sun wiki and check for the item that you want, and it will tell you the steps that you have to take to beat the enemy last and get the item everytime.
I guess that's everything that I can say for this game, I've beaten it so many times that I can't even keep count, and you always find something new everytime, as you can see. I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as Jirard and I did, it's a treasure of a game, and hopefully they'll make a fourth game that explains that GOD DAMN cliffhanger.
The 16Bit Hero thx for the tips!
I like calm jirard way better than screaming jirard, I'd like to see more of that
Something i noticed that wasnt mentioned in the introduction; a big part of golden sun's appeal is that massive and epic soundtrack by Motoi Sakuraba, who worked on Dark Souls, the Tales series, and Star Ocean, and is a progressive rock keyboard virtuoso in his own right.
You should really complete part 2. The intertwining makes this series truly exquisite for it's time, and honestly... you can't really say you've completed Golden Sun without finishing what is essentially disc 2. Did hit the Subcribed though, great vid.
Hearing that Camelot was planning one big game on the N64 just had me geeking out at the idea lol
I hadn't heard that possibility before
Now that you've done Golden Sun, I have to recommend covering Golden Sun: The Lost Age. I feel it's an even better game than the original. And the feels of going from the original to The Lost Age is wonderful.
I think you'd enjoy completing this little ride and its story.
Love this series and hope you complete the rest!
Golden Sun 1 and 2 have to be my favorite games of all time.. and never have I encountered anything which came close. It's the combination of an interesting story, setting, together with rather easy gameplay which still can be challenging. I truly hope to see Golden Sun brought back to light again on the Nintendo Switch in a 4th game, or an entire reboot of the series.
Still keeping out hope. A new Golden Sun game would instantly make me buy a Switch.
I always knew golden sun was a good game but man jirard the way you talked about it makes me want to play it besides I just finished chrono trigger so yeah more jrpgs
It's worth, no doubt
Man, hearing you say this is the perfect beginner rpg makes me so happy! Awesome video Dood!
It is IMO
Yeah. Such a great hot take on the game. I never realized that it really is just the perfect beginner rpg. Good story, good combat, good equipment/stat balancing, good skill balancing, good puzzles, good dungeons, good monster design, good overworld design...just a good rpg. Nothing great or done perfectly, but everything is done well enough to be more than satisfying.
Golden Sun was great
The Lost Age was amazing
Dark Dawn was good but seemed to end before its story was finished
They were probably hoping for a sequel. And thank wiki for this. In an interview with Nintendo Gamer in June 2012, series producer Hiroyuki Takahashi spoke about the possibility of a fourth Golden Sun game; "A big reason for us making RPGs comes from the requests from all the people who have enjoyed our RPGs in the past. Perhaps if there are enough Nintendo users asking for another game in the Golden Sun series, then this will naturally lead to the development of such a game." I can only hope it gets revived by all of its fans. Wish we could organize a large scale event to show Nintendo that a lot of people really want a fourth.
Oh my gosh. I love love love this series and miss it greatly! Thank you so much for this video!!!
This brings back memories of chibi robo and custom robo because I was playing those around the same time.
Why hello! My favourite JRPG, that's a quick click right there.
Classic
I saw Golden sun and insta liked, now to pray he completes golden sun 2 🙏
Thank you for bringing my favourite game series to a wider audience. Golden Sun needs all the love!
This was the first RPG I ever played and beat. Golden Sun was a very special game for me, and I'm happy to see it here, and that you loved it too Jirard.
Absolutely loved golden sun. Finding all the djinns was so addicting.
They were so cute! And the summons were so friggin extra.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn was my first RPG got really far on my first copy but then I lost it. I liked it so much I got another copy. Couldn't beat the final boss but adored the game.
I highly recommend playing the first 2. Dark dawn wasn't bad or anything but it was literally a step bellow the previous games in all respects and was basically a prologue to the true story that we never got.
Mia Williams it was my introduction to the series as well. I had to emulate the first two for a while since they were expensive as hell, but I eventually managed to get my hands on physical copies
Thanks for playing GS Completionist!
Always appreciate your perspective on a nostalgic game. Cant wait til you get a chance to play the sequel!
One of my top 5 favorite games of all time. Started a new playthrough tonight and wanted to find something to watch before bed, and this was great! Great video!
I love this game!!! ;o; !!! I felt like nobody ever talks about it, too, so I'm happy to see this!
Ah golden sun how I love you. Too bad we are getting a ending after the cliffhanger of the 3rd game.
because we are getting that ending... right camelot? right?!
I've never been so happy to see golden sun in 2019
I am so thankful you made a video of this fantastic game! I absolutely love this series and I hope more people play these games!!!
omg omg omg! finally. This game been my one true love fore 17 years
Ah a woman of culture
*the plot is probably the least important part of golden sun*
oof. play the sequel. Shit gets real.
Meridian Yeah, the first game suffered in a similar way to Mother.
The less said about the DS sequel the better though. Way too easy.
@@Maesterful dark Dawn was so depressing. the transition from sprites to 3d models was clearly too much for camelot's rpg team.
@@autobotstarscream765 No because it carries story elements over from the first two. It's still fun to play just not for the storyline.
wait till he has to deal with Dullahan... oof indeed.
Again though. Thank you for this. From the bottom of my heart.
this and golden sun 2 are my favorite rpg of all time, just hearing that opening theme for golden sun is enough to send a wave of nostalgic emotions through me, I really hope you plan on completing Golden sun 2 the lost age
Now if we could just get Isaac in Smash or atleast get another Golden Sun game.
But Isaac is in Smash
@@gasboy122 let me rephrase that "if we could only make Isaac playable in Smash".
#IsaacForSmash #IsaacforSmashBros #IsaacSmash #IsaacSmashBros #AssistAlliance
There's always hope, either for Golden Sun 4, or Isaac eventually being playable in Super Smash Bros. Hopefully our words will reach Nintendo and Camelot...
Rubberman202 bro I’m sorry, by already having Isaac from Mother 3 it’s not as likely
I've waited forever to see this and I'm so glad you did it! Its one of my favorite rpgs and a MUST play
Jirard bruh, I know it’s hard to do a lot of JRPGs for your channel and your show but would love the occasional one like this. It’s my favorite genre and your coverage of some of my favorite games in this genre brought me to your channel originally. Keep up the good work man
Yes you finally did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best turnbased rpg ive ever played i lv this game. THANKS
The second game, The Lost Age, used to be my favorite game of all time until I played Chrono Trigger. In terms of gameplay, I still hold GS2 in the highest of regards and think no JRPG has surpassed it in combat, exploration and level design.
I relate hard to this comment, just finished chrono trigger for the first time
To me it was a movie - All the RPG ideas, but more cinematic. I love the animations and the motivations to get the big bad and those people who beat your ass early game.
Sometimes I would grind with different spells just to see the animations.
One of my favourite series of all time. Great story, gameplay and music. I love how you can straight up say no to the journey at the beginning and it just ends.
I loved this game so much when I was a child. The nostalgia watching this made me smile.
"It's a DOG KITTY!"
Oh wait no, that's just his beard. False alarm people!
(Weirdest line from the third game)
So, a reason I really enjoy Golden Sun is how well fleshed out the world is. You found Crossbone Isle by mistake, but there are a few more things. For example, did you know that you can run into Felix at the Inn before you enter the Sanctum? If you go to Vale's Inn before you go to Kraden, you can find him waiting in the room Satuross and Menardi rented. There are a few others, but its been a while since I last played it.
A similar thing happens in The Lost Age. If you go west from Madra before you enter the town, and head into the area that takes you to Kibombo you can find the camp of the warriors who raid the Madra right before you enter it. Not only do you find their camp, but you can chat to them, and they talk about the upcoming battle.
They really managed to connect the world together with just small things. Also, another fun thing I like is that you can do the Mercury Lighthouse before you deal with the town of people who were cursed and turned into trees.
one of the best rpgs ever made love that you finally covered it and welcome to the club my bearded brother looking forward to you covering The Lost Age it is even better if you ask me
This video is old and still is so good this series need to come back. Nintendo need to give it to Team Asano and make it hd2d
I gotta say, this was one of my favorite videos you've done Jirard. I just started playing this game for the first time, so it was timed perfectly. This was so informative, well thought out, and engaging. I really enjoyed the more subdued, laid back approach you took to this video. I'm definitely going to rewatch this once I finish the game!
Golden Sun is probably one of my favorite games, got me through some difficult times as a kid. Loved the video, Jirard. Whew!
thank you so much for covering this one, the love is alive
Didn't know so many people appreciate this gem. Hello to everyone!
"No challenging end game."
Meanwhile in Lost Ages Anemos Sanctum...
what about the star magician? :P
Still love the Golden Sun games and happy to see it featured here.
Love your vids Jirard! Keep it up!
My favorite RPG! Glad you enjoyed it Jirard. Now to complete the rest of the series :P
You know there is another cult following JRPG that lets you load your save file into it's sequel. It's called Suikoden!
Yes now if does 1st Suikoden the he has to 2 Suikoden II
When I hear Golden Sun's music, it always brings me back to Baten Kaitos on the GameCube...
Makes sense since it's the same composer.
@@MrSentinel07 Yes exactly!
I've been playing this game for a couple of weeks now and this video was incredibly helpful
(Didn't know about the powerful summons, thank you)😁
Please do a part 2 this has been my favorite game for years
