otomon I really enjoy that all your topics have nothing backing them, no details etc.
anyway, Golden Sun was way ahead of it's time. It really pushed the power of the GBA. I never actually completed the first or second one, but from what I remember the game was extremely cheesy. the dialogue seemed like a five year old had written it, and even if the graphics were really innovative or whatever for GBA standards, they seemed really immature; like the character graphics fit well with the terrible dialogue, and it appealed to children but w/e.
one thing I liked was how everybody was connected to some element or whatever, and had the little things that cast spells accordingly. that was pretty neat I guess.
