Golden Sun is epic. I have both games, but I never managed to finish the first one. I think I got stuck right before you go on the boat thing to get to the other side of the continent. I don't know what happened, but all I could do was check out some bandit's hide-out and that was it. I had no idea what to do next. =/

Second game is really fun. I actually got hold of the sequel before getting the original, and finished it easily enough.

Anyway, both games are amazingly fun. I remember all the puzzles and the crazy dungeons that there are. Those two games together had some seriously tedious puzzles and stuff that drove me insane, but that was part of the fun. I feel like the newer games now are lacking in the whole maze/puzzle factor that should be a big part of all RPGs.

Battle system was like FFX for me, so it wasn't hard. I loved the leveling and Djinn system though. Moving djinn's around to get certain psyenergies for certain obstacles took forever, but that was just more of the game's goodness. Figuring out which djinns would be best for which character, and when to use them in battle was good stuff too.

And what's this? There's going to be a new one? I WILL GET IT. Even though I have no time to waste playing games, I WILL DO IT. God...I miss that game.
