Same dude golden sun was my childhood and it hurt me to hell when they said fuck all and ended at dark dawn I want the journey to continue I love this series more than anything 😭

[@hardivora1468]

Wonder how do we contact them to make a remake, or 4th game

[@israelcuevas944]

Some remakes would be cool

[@b.clarenc9517]

Hasn't the franchise been officially terminated?

[@AkaAkoVT]

Given the first Golden Sun is getting a Switch port the odds of a 4th game are suddenly a lot more likely. :D

[@goldsmith8502]

Dark Dawn was a great game. I only had three complaints, unlike the majority of the fanbase: -The points of no return. This should be an obvious one. It's absolute bull crap that you only have so much time to get specific Djinn, and you're definitely going to miss a couple on your first playthrough. -The difficulty. Now, while DD was a fun game, the puzzles were hardly challenging at all, and the enemies almost never felt like a threat, except for the superbosses. -MOST IMPORTANTLY, the cliffhanger ending. I mean, come on, that was absolute bullshit. Halfway through the game, Psynergy Vortexes were completely forgotten, and then we suddenly see the Mourning Moon of all things appear out of nowhere, and the game acts like it was all resolved and trolls you by pulling a "The End...?" Just PLEASE give us a Golden Sun 4 so we can fix these problems and finally continue the story.

[@CommanderBroShep]

I didn't mind the game or the story for that matter, I found Dark Dawn to be fun overall. My only real complaint for the game was this. Why the hell did the game go from trying to find the source of the Psynergy Vortex's to suddenly stopping the Eclipse from happening? They played so much into the vortex's in the beginning and then suddenly changed sides of the story until the very end when Matt and the gang were returning home.

[@goldsmith8502]

Commander BroShep Well, I thought that the game was fantastic, I was just stating my issues with it. I like the story a lot, but yeah, I was also confused on why it suddenly switched to the eclipse instead of the Psynergy Vortexes

[@absollover522]

Apparently the eclipse was the cause of the Vortex? (Yea, I'm not sure how that works either)

[@goldsmith8502]

Absol Lover But that can't be the case, vortexes appeared long before the eclipse even started

[@absollover522]

The Goldsmith I just know the Vortexs and the Eclipse were connected somehow. Not sure how that works seeing how the Vortex showed up _before_ the eclipse

[@criverini]

When Matt or Isaac get revealed for Smash Ultimate along with another GS game, this comment will be here, just be patient bois.

[@Madmagicanman1]

***** I wanted redemption after Dark Dawn didn't quite have the full Golden Sun vibe and gave us that little tease at the end

[@lefenixhomespatriotismxx1732]

***** Not really a trilogy, more like Dark Dawn as the sequal and lost age as a side story

[@Madmagicanman1]

LefenixHomes PatriotismXX Lost Age was the second half of Golden Sun. Golden Sun was planned to be just one giant game, but it proved to be too big so they split it in half and switched protagonists making Lost Age. Dark Dawn takes place like 30 years later or something though. Left it wide open for a sequel too.

FACTS

[@megatako8249]

I played dark dawn as a kid because my dad owned it on the DS. I remember enjoying it a lot even though I never beat it and hadn’t played any other golden suns. Now that the first two golden suns are on switch I’ve been playing them and they are awesome so far

[@kaltadesmon]

They are absolute bangers.

This game was just as good as the other two, I loved every second of it.

[@Loopy791]

You know , Dark Dawn is a flawed game but damn it still has high points. Holding out for a fourth game , with the trademark renewal and smash generating more attention for golden sun (all be it not as a playable character) I'm feeling pretty confident in this series

[@jcplays5831]

[@blake-io6fe]

The 3rd game was the best

[@KeepAwayFF]

@@blake-io6fe My opinion, as a long-time player of Golden Sun Franchise. And keep in mind that I was thrilled as fuck for the third episode. If anyone has anything to say, please copy-paste what you don't agree with and state your opinion, I'll gladly read it. (Not kidding there, I'd love to change my mind) Golden Sun 1 : - Innovation in gameplay with Djinns - Innovation in gameplay with utility Psynergy - Music is amazingly composed and new - Offered a vast world to discover with some secret locations - Established a deep and complex lore, with tons of narration and places to support it - Offered lots of challenge with difficults battles (Kraken, Saturos, Deadbeard) - Hinted lots of implicit relations within characters arcs - Made a ton of character development - Story build up gradually and explodes at Venus' Lighthouse - Allows you to backtrack into the explored world - Ultimate gear requires minmax and optimization - Opens lots of plotlines such as Ivan's family, Babi's immortality, Alex's fate and Thelos' studies Golden Sun 2: - Offers a whole new soundtrack - Innovation in Psynergy with item-based classes, while complexifying the cross-element mechanics - Offers a whole new world to explore, more than twice the size first game's world - Innovation in cross-element invocations, and secret invocations, including 2 overpowered summons if you played both games with 100% djinns - Offers a different cast of characters, while retaining a bit of already known ones - TONS OF SECRET/OPTIONAL PLACES to discover - Includes multiple new secret bosses VERY HARD to beat unless you're overleveled - Actually includes hidden places for those bosses, and quests alongside - Story builds up from 0 to 75% at Contigo, then overflows the 100% while climbing Mars' Lighthouse - Has a spell exclusively dedicated to backtrack (Teleportation) - Actually makes sense along with Golden Sun's story - Made even more character development (Turns out good guys were evil, and vice-versa) - Answers plotlines opened in GS1 (Ivan, Babi, Lina's parents' fate...) Golden Sun 3: - Lazily uses descendants as protagonists (Eoleo is a great idea though, I'll have this at least) - Barely links the plot to the original series, and doesn't even care to build up its own - Forbids backtracking sometimes. This is unforgivable as the world is ridiculously. - Lots of plot holes, especially about places, past Vale - Bosses are terribly easy, and forgettable, even final boss is ridiculous in comparison - Secret bosses are the same as GS2 AND very easy to find AND beat (All the bad part combined, all the good ones thrown away) - Music is almost the same but with instruments rather than chip sounds, and they even managed to make it generic - Ultimate gear is GIVEN TO THE PLAYER. WHATTHEFUCKACTUALLY - Story build up like a pile of shit, you just don't want to smell it anymore the more ou gather it It CLEARLY took more time for the dev to make the new engine, than they worked on the story and game design. So no, Golden Sun 3 IS NOT a good game. It's a regular JRPG exploiting its reputation rather than trying to build more prestige. I mean, even a remaster of both first episodes would have been better for the series' image.

[@NeonxJay-]

@@KeepAwayFF You kinda contradicted yourself a bit in your comment when you started off saying your opinion, but then at the end stated the game was bad seemingly objectively. Anyways, for me, I really enjoyed the game. I had got it the Christmas of 2011 along with a 3DS. I've never played or, or heard of, the previous games before at the time. So I didn't know much about what was going on other than what the game told me as I went along. I had a lot of playing it and it was sorta challenging for me, since it was basically my first turn-based combat jrpg, and I kinda rushed through it without doing proper leveling.

I'm probably bias towards Dark Dawn since it was my first Golden Sun game but I still love it despite how a majority of the fanbase feels about it.

[@Banana-cc5rx]

that's exactly the reason why you didn't understand the hate. Most of the stuff in Darkdawn are basically reused assets from the prequel. Like cmon 30 years later into the story and stuff remain the same, even after the golden sun rose..

[@ryusoulger9127]

asd asdas I really don't want to understand the hate quite frankly.

well of course it's fine if you don't want to get involve. But that's pretty much why.

[@Kage57]

@@Banana-cc5rx “30 years later into the story and stuff remain the same” bro I’ve seen so many of the ‘OGs’ complain that dark dawn is TOO different from the first two games. They say that the map changes too much in only 30 years, so which one is it? Way too many of y’all hating this game for complete opposite reasons lmao

[@Banana-cc5rx]

@@Kage57 both are true and legit complaints, let's just say there are things that are retained way too much and some are literally thrown out and feel foreign. For land and nation, do they really go poof in just 30 years? Did we miss something during the time skip? Culture yes, but the land? Pretty sure that doesn't even happen irl, so why is the land in DD changed that much? Meanwhile my point is different context wise, like why are summons and enemies the same ones? It's like a lazy reskin that's all. People love seeing throwbacks, I like them too. It's nice to see old npcs growing up and community growing over the time in game. But seeing everything in combat the exact same? Where are the innovations Tbh at this point I don't even remember the details exactly. Will have to replay it to remember why I disliked it that much

[@jonathanjuarez5544]

I love how this is a mix of Issac and Jenna's battle themes, which is fitting since this game follows their son.

[@moewilliams6235]

Tbh, Dark Dawn should've never been a direct sequel to the original GS games. I think they've should've gone down a stand alone route. Set in the same universe, but with different characters and plot lines. perhaps have a meaningful, but small, connection to the original games.
