Golden Sun DS: Dark Dawn

[PokeCommunity.com] Golden Sun DS: Dark Dawn

I'll just leave this here.

Ohmahgawd i just died from the sheer awesomeness that is that boxart. 0_o
 
Seriously this better reach New Zealand before Christmas, if it doesn't I'll just pay the anime and gaming import store a visit or hopefully people will be selling it at Armageddon.

There's already gonna be more Psynergy, I'm sure.

And yes, US release date.

That's because the trailers have already shown us new Psynergy.
 
The summons were incredibly awesome to start with, i can't imagine topping Catastrophe, Charon or Iris. :D ( imagine those in 3D OMG :D )

Don't forget the originals like Judgement and Thor, those looked so cool when you first used them.
 
i cant wait for this i spent days locked in my room playing the 1st 2 games guess i'll do it again with this one xD
 

Found this on the game's official JP site. Uploaded to my YouTube.

also on the site was this map...

Oh Mawwwww Gawwwddddd.

What i love the most about that video, is that the 'Sound' of Golden Sun is intact- the noise the monsters make when they die, the Psyenergy activation, the attacking noise, etc.

But the Graphics are amazing. The game looks great from that trailer.

Does the Japanese version use Energy instead of Psynergy or is it for all versions?

Did the part where he's freezing the puddle seem like a revamped Aqua Rock to anyone?

Anyway this just makes me want to get the game even more and it showed me that the chimera type creature is weak to mercury.

I assembled this myself from 8 short videos found off of the games official Japanese site. The Djinni images were also ripped from there.

I placed them in order of characters you gained in the original (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury = Isaac, Garet, Ivan, Mia). It took me all day to get this ready, but I hope you all enjoy it!

Sorry for the double post...
 
Yeah, it really does. The retro sound effects are nice too.

Also, the touch screen seems like a natural extension of the Psynergy system.

I also like how you can actually move Douse now.

I agree, I think touch screen capabilities fits Golden Sun perfectly. Douse used to be a pain if you didn't line up exactly where you needed to be to use it. xD

Spoiler:

just because it's easier, I'm posting a condensed chat log describing the info here
<Mirby> https://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> https://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.

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.
