Spoiler:



just because it's easier, I'm posting a condensed chat log describing the info here
<Mirby> http://www.nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/golden_sun_dark_dawn_scan_jump2.jpg
<Mirby> i can't read it, but still
<OCRE> let's see here
<Mirby> new enemies shown (spade and heart?)
<OCRE> Looks like we got a ne- yeah
<OCRE> lol
<Mirby> what I like
<Mirby> is how every single djinn has a unique appearance
<OCRE> and is that little Eoleo
<OCRE> all growed up
<Mirby> possibly!
<Mirby> yes, that's how it translates
<Mirby> actually, it's Reoreo, but what else could that be
<Mirby> wonder if he'll be an ally
<OCRE> :)
<OCRE> I bet.
<OCRE> or maybe he'll be an enemy at firt
<OCRE> first
<Mirby> probably; I'm sure that his mum won't forget what Felix did for him
<OCRE> lol
<Mirby> and for Briggs, and for Champa
<OCRE> or his grandmother
<Mirby> Her too
<Mirby> XD
<Mirby> quote from the guy who linked that pic to me
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Other characters will be added to your party (temporarily?)
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Including Isaac and Garet

<OCRE> ah
<OCRE> that's ok
<Mirby> kinda like Jenna in the first game, but more often
<Mirby> that's what I'm guessing
<OCRE> yeah
<Mirby> Anyways, while playing through GS2, two lines said by characters caught me. Mind Read Kushinada in Izumo after learning Sand and she thinks, "If Felix's descendants are ever in trouble, our Takeru will rush to their aid." Takeru is what she's gonna name her son. Also, after beating Doom Dragon, enter the house east of the Inn in Prox. The man says, "I think the rift to the north started receding when the lighthouse was lit." His wife says, "I wonder if that hole up north has stopped growing. What if it starts again?" So there might be an event in Izumo in GSDS, and there might be a much larger Weyard to explore too. Because if the rift visibly receded in the minutes following the lighting of the Mars Beacon, however much time has passed in GSDS should be sufficient for Weyard to be fully nourished and have regained it's former splendor and size. Which is pretty cool!
<Mirby> I told that to a friend in an email
<OCRE> oh yeah
<OCRE> absolutely deliberate
<OCRE> I love Camelot
<OCRE> they really put their heart and soul into their games
<Mirby> they do
<Mirby> still, larger Weyard to explore
<OCRE> yup
<OCRE> though I wouldn't count on being able to visit
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Screenshot 1: Four characters Matthew, Karis, Crown, Eoleo
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Screenshot 2: Eoleo says "Are you trying to make me indebted to you?"

<OCRE> the WHOLE of weyard
<OCRE> ha
<Mirby> it's possible
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> On the enemy side of the page
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Tsaparang is a military nation conducting secret maneuvers
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> They excel in science and military power. For some reason their commander contacts your party.
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> They appear all over and seem to be making use of you.
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Screen 1: Spade "I shouldn't belittle you. Now I have to finish you here."
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Screen 2: Heart "What a troublesome group of children..."

<Mirby> http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org1174069.jpg <--better quality scan
<Mirby> you can easily see some examples of the uniqueness of the djinni's appearance
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Profiles:
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Spade: A warlike swordsman with "sword" as his name that stands in front of Matthew & Co.
<Mirby><LordHuffnPuff> Heart: A commander of Tsaparang. She gets close to important persons from other countries using her bewitching beauty as a weapon.
<Mirby> <LordHuffnPuff> Eoleo is the "Prince of the Pirates"

<OCRE> :)
<Mirby> ^.^
<OCRE> thanks for tellin i
<Mirby> no prob
<OCRE> i think I'll wait for the final game for any more into though
<OCRE> since it's so close
<Mirby> yeah, that's a good idea
<Mirby> but now we know that eoleo returns
<OCRE> yeah
<OCRE> i had hoped for that :)
<Mirby> which means there's a good chance of other characters returning
<Mirby> as well
Bolded and colored in red are quotes that translate info on the page. The rest is just speculation between OCRE and me.

^ I hope all of that is true. I would love to see some of the original NPC's Like Briggs, etc. again. Maybe Moapa or Akufubu too? They'd still be alive after 30 years. My guess Kraden is dead though. :/

What I bolded and put in red is a translation of the text in the spoilered image. So yeah, it's true.
Awesome. Extremely. Have you heard of any mentioning of Alex, yet?

Are Spade and Heart from Prox, it's kinda annoying always having two Proxians(if that's what they're called) as the antagonists. I'd much rather have one as a playable character since their strength surpasses your characters even without the aid of Djinnis.

I think they are. :/ If i couldn't play as one I'd love to have one in my party, at least.

Well, I am a fan of JRPGs, maybe I'll pick this game up. n3n

I hear it's really good. n_n
From what Ive heard from IGN, they expect it to be just as good as the first two. n__n Which is saying a lot.

I don't think they're from Prox. There's really no need for the Proxians to attack anymore; the only reason they did so in the first two was
Spoiler:
because they needed to light the lighthouses so their town wasn't devoured by the void and Gaia Falls.

With that resolved, there's really no need for them to do anything. Their town is safe, and they're at peace. Plus, Prox and the party members ended up being allies at the end of TLA anyways, if memory serves.


Anywho, I don't think they're from Prox. They're from a place called Tsaparang, as the red bold text in my last update show.

From my love of the original games, I'm uber excited. It's actually kinda funny:
My mom preordered the game for me. Buuut, she did it last CHRISTMAS. So the store called her "Did you mean to order this?" Mom: "Uh...yeah?" Them: "....OK! Thank you for your purchase with Gamestop! 8D"
Then we find out they called because she ordered it almost a year in advance. So I'm pretty excited. xD

Now that you've refreshed my memory, yeah Prox is safe, as far as we know, so they wouldnt have any reason to be the bad guys anymore. Plus being a new game, they'd be from a new Area, I think.

I need to go reserve that game. Like soon.

You do. It comes out the tenth of November, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, truth of lameness! D<
But I'm so tired of seeing YET ANOTHER Jupiter Adept as a mage class. I want a warrior, and a Venus as a mage. ;-;
Yeah that would be pretty cool if they changed classes. But just flip the Djinn around a bit. :3

But their base stats are too different so you end up having your melee unit with little attack and HP and a Psynergy user with little PP.

Not necessarily, you just need to pick the right class. Make Issac a dragoon class, speciffically a Paladin and he'll have sky-high HP, Attack, and defenses, and pretty good PP. Felix as a Ronin, has the Highest Hp stat possible, and the second highest attack in the entire game. Sheba/Ivan can run as a Necromage/Whitemage, and have ungodly PP, agility, and Healing capabilities


But obviously you'll need all the Djinn to make that work. In the begiing it'll be hard, but as you get more acess to more items/Djinn, the classes all balance out.

You do realize that the Jupiter elemental is probably what fosters Mages, right? Same as Mercury fosters healers (even Alex), Mars fosters fighters, and Venus fosters Paladins. (I separated paladins and fighters because those who were Venus adept seemed to be much wiser than those who were Mars. Just look at Isaac and Garet. Garet's hot-headed, which is why he's such a powerhouse. Isaac's pretty powerful too, but it's tempered with some gentleness in the form of a few healing spells).

tldr Jupiter = Mage, Mercury = Healer, Mars = Fighter, Venus = Paladin (fighter w/ healing)

I say they should flip flop everything for the heck of some variety. I loved that Jenna was Mars and a Mage with epic healing capability, and that Piers was a Mercury warrior, but like I said, I just want them to make a Venus mage, and a Jupiter warrior. Then I'll be happier than I am already. c:

Spoiler:
And from the previews, looks like the Jupiter girl has the healing abilities.
