Golden Sun

[Solar]

Hey look a new trailer.

I do believe this is the first time we see the 4th party member (Crown) right?

[Mirby]

It is. Blue hair, so possibly spawn of Piers? Or Mia? or Piers and Mia?

Regardless, Crown looks good. Good to see there's still some cartoony sensibilities present, and seeing the forming of the Golden Sun like that at the start was EPIC!!

Still no sign of Alex though...

Thanks for finding that, Tai!

EDIT: Could someone translate that text on the white screen, after the Golden Sun forms?

[Ninja Lou]

Nintendo laid out the rest of the year. Its sad to see that Golden Sun was not there.

[Mirby]

Really? Where was this?

And that pisses me off!

[RetroRespecter]

The game is delayed? I have read the article and it seems that way.

[STM]

I don't mind the game being delayed if it means a better quality experience.

[Mirby]

There is that.

I still want to know what that opening text says...

[Ephidiel]

unless they pull a Twillight Princess

[RetroRespecter]

unless they pull a Twilight Princess

What do you mean by "pull a Twilight Princess"?

[Ephidiel]

wait till the 3DS is out like TP waited for a wii release

[Mirby]

Yeah, I doubt they're gonna do that.

[Ephidiel]

Golden Sun got a release date

its November 29th 2010

[Mirby]

8 days after my birthday! YAAAAAAAAAY!

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

a few days after the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert at Toronto.

My wallet is being masochistic at the thought...

[Mirby]

I'll just leave this here.

[Ephidiel]

well at least the Djinnis are there
nice boxart though i like it

[Mirby]

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

also on the site was this map...


and then there's this cuteness~

[STM]

So, who noticed the 5th party member in that video?

[Fariator]

^I did more or less.

But I'm more concerned about the protagonist's elementality. The player is either using djinnis to make the character learn that fireball psynergy, or is he a Mars Adept? The red glow around his hand in the boxart also points to this more or less. I may have missed some official announcement on the matter, though.

Also unless the world we know from The Lost Age has changed drastically, I can assume that the world has been expanded quite a bit. Gotta see about that, then.

Anyway, I'm hyped up for this game. That boxart is ultra smexy.

[Solar]

Hey you're right. Harmony looked like a male water adept. Piers child maybe?

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

Y'know, I totally forgot about this.
Maybe when this new game comes out, I'll start experimenting with classes other than Pure Mage and the pure elemental classes.

[Fariator]

^If old classes are kept intact, I definetely suggest "Master" class for the Venus Adepts, which is my favorite.
What I keep in mind, is to make every character's agility as high as possible, which makes everything little too easy. Well, maybe not if the boss uses a Djinn Storm, but yeah.

The last time I played The Lost Age, my party was:

[spoiler=Mah Party]Main party:
Isaac - Master (Lv 40) - Djinnis: 4x Mars, 5x Jupiter
Felix - Master (Lv 40) - Djinnis: 4x Mars, 5x Jupiter
Sheba - Sage (Lv 37) - Djinnis: 3x Jupiter, 6x Mercury
Piers - Guru (Lv 40) - Djinnis: 2x Mercury, 7x Mars

Backup party:
Mia - Pure Mage (Lv 38) - Djinnis: 4x Venus, 5x Jupiter
Garet - Paladin (Lv 39) - Djinnis: 4x Venus, 5x Mercury
Ivan - Ninja (Lv 38) - Djinnis: 6x Venus, 3x Mars
Jenna - Paladin (Lv 38) - Djinnis: 4x Venus, 5x Mercury[/spoiler]

With those djinni sets, all characters are faster than any creature in the game, except [spoiler]Star Magician and his minions.[/spoiler] And yes, that was my party when I last killed the optional boss, [spoiler]Dullahan.[/spoiler]

I hope there will be new ways to customize the classes and such in this new game. I really liked coming up with new methods as I played around with the djinni combinations.

[Ephidiel]

i wasn't sure at first when i saw the 5th but i noticed a difference

[Fariator]

And who are those two guys on the left, then? The other one doesn't look exactly the Garet-a-like, Tyrell, though.
