Ok, since a third Golden Sun game HAS been announced and shown, the immediate question for me (after I was done going "yay") is how they're going to handle the other two games in the series. What I mean is this: in GS2, you could import your character data and whatnot into the second game so that when you hit that point, you could get the characters and Djinn in the game just like you had them before and continue on your marry way. With a third game in the series on the DS, I figured they would have it so that if you had the second game in the GBA slot, you could do the same thing, as long as you beat the game (sort of like what they did with Pokemon on the DS, just have the character in a certain position and fulfill certain requirements and the data would be transferred from that point). This pretty much just assumed that they would do something like that (bringing over the data), but I saw that in the video, the game was being played on a DSi, which doesn't have a GBA slot. This begs the question: are they going to go ahead and have data transfer or not? If so, why would they show it on the DSi? That sort of implies that Nintendo is trying to do away with the DS Lite much like what they did with the DS before. Are they going to have it implement a virtual GBA system or something, and tweak it or so?

Or in short, have they just shown the game is there and said nothing else and I wasted my time typing up all that crap for no reason even for myself?

maybe they include a bonus if you load a finished TLA save from the GBA slot but probably only like a special item you can get in game too.
since this game will feature the descendends i doubt any transfer save would be neccassary, especially character levels and djinns.


also to make this thread a bit better
the first artwork( i also posted it in the E3 thread)

I still love that picture.

@Pringer X- We have no idea. There probably won't be any data transfer for Golden Sun DS. If only because the game takes place after the cast from the first two games are already dead.

Hmm, is anyone else wondering how long into the game it will be before Alex makes an appearance?

Unconfirmed info is unconfirmed.

For all we know, these three could either be:

a) Isaac, Mia and Garet a little more grown up
b) The above's children
c) Descendant, as you say.

It's way too soon to speculate on story, aside from if that bastard Alex will be coming back.

if you noticed its not possible to be a)
you cansee that from the artwork as the garet lookalike is using thunder instead of fire

I was thinking that too... but what if he's not using the element itself, but it's an elemental attribution from the weapon? Weapons had their own elementals to them from time to time.

I have a hunch he won't show up in this one.

But I hope I'm wrong.

Well, GS1 was 2 games because not everything could be fitted into one GBA cartridge...

I think.

Correct! Also, the story takes place years after Golden Sun 1 & 2 (or, to be more precise, Book One and Book Two). So the characters are descendants of Isaac, Garet, and Mia. Data transfer may work, though I doubt it. The only possible online (and wireless) functionality I can think of would be a worldwide Battle Arena. Hopefully, they'll keep a sound test there just like before.

The summons, and graphics, look good and remain faithful to the GBA games. And the story is taking the best possible route (after all, Alchemy was revived at the end of Book Two). So they can reveal the results, good or bad, of that incident.

Questions I want answered:
-Did Weyard regain the ground it lost to Gaia Falls?
-Did Alex survive?
-Can anyone use Psynergy now?

So that's what I want to know. What I do know is that this will be awesome!

i guess there will be way more Adepts in this new Weyard.
depending how many years after Book 2 it will play it will be at least 18 years later Weyard might have grown quite a bit
and maybe we can go beyond Gaia Falls.

Nobody knows what happened to Alex. He was dragged down with the mountain.

He might have started a new life and became Alex from Lunar the Silver Star Story

Hey now, if he were to become anything in Lunar the Silver Star Story, it probably would be Ghaleon.

Wait, what's this with Lunar Silver Star something or another? I took a look and wondered what the two series could share and while I do get some kind of connection (lunar= moon, like the opposite of the sun and silver being the common opposite of gold), I've never actually played the series (pretty much because I never saw the game ever), so what are these theories about now?

As for the whole descendant thing, that would actually help in eliminating the data transfer thing and it's quite possible the whole Djinn list could be completely redone in either sense of the definition (redone as in copy/pasted from the other two or redone as in completely different).

As far as the plot goes, my question is what the heck is going to happen to that one guy who sort of stole the spotlight from the second game as far as being a big-bad goes (the one that was the Water Adept's brother or something from the first game)? When they left off, he was talking with the giant floating eyeball and found out his xanatos gambit was known by floating eye-guy and he made his own xanatos gambit around the whole thing to prevent the guy from being the closest thing to god.

Alex is a Mercury Adept and a Main Character.
Alex is an Adventurer and a Main Character.
One of them is playable. >v<

Oh. I thought the whole connection thingy was established some time ago and you guys were bringing it up again. I have this odd thing about me where I don't find out something 'epic' until so much time has past that no one cares about the subject matter anymore ><

Nice. Also, Pringer, Lunar and Golden Sun have NOTHING to do with each other. In fact, the Lunar series started way before Golden Sun.

GOLDEN SUN DS!
Oh how long I've waited for a sequel.

I was watching the friggin' nintendo broadcast(and was bored to death by their casual faggotry, AND OF COURSE... Cammy), but then... SUDDENLY... GOLDEN SUN DS. I almost creamed my pants.

Oh yeah. I really want to know what happened to Alex, altough he was such a shitty character. He barely appeared, did nothing of any value and then got revealed as some sort of villain we didn't even got a chance to fight. LAAAME.

That's exactly why he has to return in this title. So they can flesh him out.
