The Sequel of Golden Sun : What more could you want?

Golden Sun: The Lost Age, is the sequel to the highly successful Golden Sun, starring Isaac, Garet, Mia and Ivan. This game will have you controlling the people the aforementioned were chasing all of the first game. I.E., Felix, Jenna, Kraden, Sheba and an extra character, Picard. ( Although I think His name will be different). Anyway, I'm not sure of your quest, but I've seen several screenshots (50) and Camelot has certainly kicked the already beautiful graphics (in my opinion anyway)up a notch or five.
Anyways, onto part of the storyline I know.
If you played GS1, and beat it, you would have remembered the last scene of the game, where Jenna and Kraden are seen floating on an island after the epic last battle between Isaac, Garet, Mia and Ivan, and the game's big bosses, Saturos and Menardi. You also might have remembered seeing Felix leap off the Venus Lighthouse to try to save Sheba. And Alex catches up with Jenna and Kraden and shows them that Felix and Sheba made it.
Well, GS2 starts slightly before all that. You control Jenna, and find your way down to the ship you first thought was Babi's Lemurian ship (the part where the island breaks off), but it was really Saturos and Menardi's ship. Then you see that oh so familiar cutscene.
Enough of talking the game, let's talk about a rather cool feature in GS2. Remember when you beat the game and in the 'Continue' screen you saw your game and 'CLEAR DATA'. For the love of all that is good and pure, DO NOT DELETE THAT GAME!!!
In GS2, they ask you if you want to upload your old game. How, you ask, as there is no upload option in the menu screen. Well, my friend, if you press L, R, left and b simultaneously and then b immediately after, a new option appears. "SEND". YOu can either send your game by way of a link cable, or three different password. Bronze password lets you send Level and Djinn. SIlver lets you send Level, Djinn and Character stats. Gold lets you send Level, Djinn Character stats, itmes and coins. Be warned, the Gold password id six screens long.
Trust me, putting in these passwords will alter your story when you meet Isaac, Garet, Mia and Ivan leter in the story.
BUy THIS GAME!!! IT ROCKS!!!

will be the best

ok before u buy this game buy golden sun cuz it the continuation of the first. in this one you can combine different elemental dijin for even greater summons.The Lost Age will be far more expansive than that of the first game, and players will have the ability to meet and join parties of other characters, with party members coming and going as the story progresses. the graphics are brigther and better that the first and there is even a feature to upload your old data via link cable or passwords. wouldn't u like to know what happened to jenna, felix karadin and sheba. would they reach lumeria? stop wondering and buy this game its greater than the first.

Ive been waiting forever

ever since the cliffhanger ending of golden sun ive been counting down the days until the lost age was coming out. as a matter of fact is till play golden sun regularly. Why? Because you can transfer data between your game packs.Fom what i see the main heroes arent the stars from the original but in fact are a new group of characters consisting of Felix,Sheba,Jenna and the new character Pickard. Although your main characters arent the same from golden sun if you tranfer data they will make an appearance in the lost age although im not sure how big a part they will play in the adventure. The attributes that your character has from golden sun will make a difference in golden sun the lost age. Im not sure who the main boss is but im suspecting alex. Some music is the same that was in golden sun but camelot has came up with some new music to keep things fresh. The game map and length are both about 2x as much that was in golden sun, wich is a good thing because this game is going to be the best selling game boy advance game ever(if not for pokemon yellow it would have a giant chance for bieng THE best-selling game boy game). However i dont recomend buying this game if you havent played and completed golden sun, because elements of the lost age will make no sense if you dont. Until april 17 ill be waiting... for greatness

it was worth waiting for!

having played the Japanese language version of this game, i can safely say that it will definitely blow the first game away. lots of new Psynergy (a lot of RPGs have some form of magic... GS uses psychic energy) to learn, lots of new and interesting weapons, many new places to explore, many new summons to get, and...

you can transfer data from a saved file that's on your Golden Sun cartridge. here's the main story:

in the first game, the main character Isaac and his friends Garet, Ivan, and Mia were chasing after Saturos and Menardi, two members of a northern fire clan who stole the Elemental Stars from Sol Sanctum and wanted to unleash their power upon the world by lighting the 4 lighthouses, all the while keeping Isaac's friend Jenna and the great Alchemy sage Kraden (and eventually a young girl named Sheba) hostage. at the end of the first game, your party succeeded in defeating Saturos and Menardi shortly after they lit the Venus Lighthouse. however, Jenna and Kraden are missing on a piece of land that broke off from the continent, and Sheba fell from the lighthouse into the ocean. in addition, Jenna's long-lost older brother Felix, who had been traveling with the fire clan members, jumped after Sheba to save her.
the second game starts out shortly thereafter. the members of your party are Felix, Jenna, Sheba, and, later on, Piers, a Lemurian they find on their journey. while in the first game the object was to keep the lighthouses from being lit, Felix is dead set on lighting the two remaining lighthouses. and the new foes of the game? Menardi's lil sister Karst and the strongest clansman she could find, Agatio. while they do want the lighthouses lit, they also want revenge for Menardi's death.

as i mentioned before, you can transfer data from a previous save file for the first game. you see, after the Jupiter Lighthouse is lit, you meet the 4 characters from the first game and get them into your party. that's right... 8 playable characters. and their stats when you get them are at whatever they were when you won Golden Sun (if you do not transfer data or use a passord, they start out at level 28). from there, you have a few more tasks before you can go to the Mars Lighthouse, but one thing is for sure... this is a much better game, and it it has excellent replay value. one of my favorite things is the blacksmith in a town on the second continent, who will make a plethora of weapons/armor for you from certain materials you find, making each game different since you won't always get the same items! also, the new multi-elemental summons, some of which you must defeat a game boss in order to get (and some of them are pretty tough). the final boss, the Doom Dragon, is quite a formidable opponent, attacking 4 times per round. he is humongous, can set all your Djinn on recovery, and has a special summon of his own, Ruin Crash.

i've played this game 4 times and won it twice (2 save files i'm just trying to level up for fun on). the music is just orgasmic - Motoi Sakuraba is one excellent composer, that is definitely for sure.

The sequel goes FANTASTIC further...

We've been waiting for a very long time, but finally it's here! If you don't know anything about Golden Sun: TLA, buy the original Golden Sun first. Golden Sun is an RPG with psynergy, puzzles and the usual battles with experiencepoints.
You can even transfer your old cleared game via a link cable or via a password. When you are in the main menu of GS, push L+R+left+B, go to send and you'll know the rest!

With the eruption of Mt. Aleph fresh in our minds, the game begins again with loads of action!
After the Venus Lighthouse was lit, Felix and Sheba were swept away in sea, but they've been founded by Alex, Jenna and Kraden. Saturos and Menardi are now dead, but Isaac, Garet, Ivan and Mia couldn't prevent them for litting the beacon. Isaac and co. are now in search of Sheba, Felix, Jenna and Kraden, but now they got another goal: to search Lemuria in order of Lord Babi of Tolbi.
Now it's time to follow Felix and his life. You're washed away on a former peninsula, Idejima, and now you are lost at sea. Then, all of sudden a tsunami will reach Idejima and it seems you're bumped into another continent, called India. Your goal is not preventing the last two lighthouses, but now your goal is lighting the lighthouse (actually the opposite of what it used to be). Meet Piers, your Mercury Adept, and navigate yourself trough more then 50 hours of gameplay on other continents, on sea, on the ancient Lemuria and a lot more! When you are ¾ of the game, Isaac and co. will join you on your quest.
It would be a bummer to say everything about this game, but it's a GRRRRRREAT game and it's definitly your money worth!

The sequel to the BEST RPG EVER

There's good news and bad news about this game. The bad news is that this game's layout is unfortunately EXACTLY the same as the original. The first part of the good news is that, fortunatly, this game's layout is EXACTLY the same as the original. The original is all the graphics that the GBA can and will ever be able to muster, and the same is true with the sound. So, therefore, there is no room for improvement in those categories. Also, the original was the best storyline I have ever seen for any game. So, the only place it can improve is the only thing Golden Sun was missing-a much longer story. Golden Sun was painfully short, even though it was relatively long for a gba game, it left a cliff-hanger ending with an epilogue. Now there's good marketting for a sequel! The final good thing is all the new spells, characters, and Psynergy(The mysterious force used by the Adepts on an unknown continent near Japan [land of the GOLDEN SUN]). Of course, these characters become the enemy in the newer game, but the New good guys also use it. Of course there will be AT LEAST twice as much psynergy and Dijjini (mysterious creatures that harness the powers of the elements to assist the heroes in their quest) (Including the old ones)All in all, I would recomend this game to hardcore rpger's as well as anyone that would enjoy a captivating story full of dventure.

the best is to be expected!!!!

i have seen a demo and played golden sun and i KNOW FOR A FACT that this game will rock your world. this game will tell you the ENTIRE (mysterys are everywhere, were your enemies really bad?) the first game used a fraction of the power that this game will use. the already amazing graphics have been improved on especially in the cutscenes. this should be everyone's third favorite gaming series (next to halo and zelda). have fun when it comes out, i know you will!!!!

It's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who have completed Golden Sun, you will be amazed at the improvements in this version. As your adventure continues, Djinnis (genies), little creatures with special powers, will help you along your way. In the original Golden Sun, every charecter had seven djinni. In this game there are seventy-two Djinn! The adventure in this game extends to four continents as the original only allowed you to visit two. If you have a completed file on GS1, hold L+R+left and tap B to get a password to transfer your data, characters, items, and Djinn to GS2 TLA! This will be the best of the two Golden Sun.

I WOULD GIVE THIS GAME A 999999999999999!

Even if you are not a fan of rpg games, ... It is really fun. I bought my golden sun (the first one) like 2 years ago, and I always start a new game and keep on playing it till this day...so it gotta be fun... and now golden sun 2 you go on a glorious adventure you get to fly, surf in boats, go to diffirent continents, fight diffirent monsters and get Djjiins. The game will take to 50 hours WITHOUT using cheats or going on gamefaqs cause then theres no fun in it. Use cheats after you beat the game like I always do....
