GOLDEN SUN

Cool!
And can you understand what you need to do or is it different? xD

[jafeijai]

^ Assuming that's to me...

What you need to do is relatively straight-forward; there's only so many places you can go anyways, since if you're not meant to be in a certain place yet, chances are you don't have the Psynergy to complete the puzzles.

Oh, and I'm quite happy with the 'area' effect of field Psynergy. What that means is that when Psynergy is used in the field, it no longer simply affects directly in front of you. For example, if you had a pillar you wanted to move, you can face your back to it, use Move and the cursor will automatically spin you towards the pillar and move it in the direction you choose, even if you were at an angle from the pillar. Plus, no PP (or EP as it's called in the Japanese games) is wasted if you use the field Psynergy and decide to cancel it or the field Psynergy is unable to complete its task.

Well I'm in Jupiter Lighthouse now just trying to remember how to do this stupid hover puzzle ><

[Ayako-Luna]

Whoa good luck, Skie! o_o

[EternalSkies]

Done it and now have Isaac's group with me and now going through Magma rock. Only this then Prox and Mars Lighthouse left I believe.

Poor jafeijai!

Anyway, some present for you:

Matthew: "Buy Golden Sun: Dark Dawn! You won't regret it! °~°"
Venus Djinn: "YAY!"

Gonna be quite hard since I've only got the rest of Mars Lighthouse left (after teleport) and the optional dungeons. Saved just before Star Magician. He's killed me twice now ><

Approximately one week after I begun, I believe I am really close to the end of Golden Sun DS. Why? Because I already have all 8 playable characters in my party.

Edit:
There's quite a number of new field Psynergy in this game:
- Smack; literally smacks an object
- Smell; finds someone's path based on smell
- Thermal; creates a path of flame that you can ride up
- Premonition; displays what kind of Psynergy can be used onscreen (very useful!)
- Grip; literally grips a distant object

* jafeijai loves his OHKO Djinns

[Ayako-Luna]

Thank you for all the infos, jafei!!! :DDD

[jafeijai]

Saved just before Star Magician. He's killed me twice now ><

WTF?! Dullahan is in Dark Dawn too?!
OMGosh!!!

[EternalSkies]

Awesome! 1 month 2 days left

So after 37 hours or so of gametime (including 3 optional bosses and grinding time), I have finished the main story of Ougon no Taiyou DS (Golden Sun in Japanese )!!!

My thoughts:
- Definitely a great game considering how the story development was in the previous two. Each additional character after the starting four (Matthew, Terry, Karis, Crown) had their own little section of gameplay which led up to them being included to your party. Though I have to say the game could have been longer; there was a lot of potential to explore more on certain characters which could still have tied into the story overall.
- I love my OHKO Djinns. ...I think I've mentioned this before.
- The graphics are AMAZING. I'm sure those viewing this thread have already seen some previews from Youtube and whatnot, I'm not going to try convincing anyone of the graphical quality of this game.
- The weapon system has gotten an interesting boost; instead of simply obtaining the weapon, equipping and unleashing special moves as much as your character's luck allows, each weapon now has a leveling system. What I mean by that is most weapons (regardless of whether you find it normally in shops or it's a weapon found in the field) have at least two special moves (the Sol Blade that you get towards the end of the game has a whopping four)! However, the chance of the stronger special moves activating is quite minimal when you first obtain the weapon; you have to continually use that weapon (through normal attacks) in order to 'level up' your weapon (to increase the chance of activation) and 'master' the special moves. Remember, this applies to all weapons: continuous usage of the weapon ensures a greater chance of special moves activating. Of course, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to pull off the strongest move every time your weapon activates; mastering the moves (and consequently, the weapon) simply increases that chance and enables a greater variety of special moves.

tl;dr This game is teh awesomez!!!!

Will definitely play this again in English.

..now to find Dullahan..

[EternalSkies]

Sounds AWESOME Not long left ><

[jafeijai]

Update:

* jafeijai is still trying to kill Dullahan .... T-T

This is what happened to me earlier:
- standby 8 Venus Djinn and 2 Jupiter Djinn to summon Charon on the first turn
- standby 3 Mercury Djinn and 3 Jupiter Djinn to summon some healer on the first turn (the name escapes me atm)
- enter battle
- Matthew uses Void (similar to Flash from the previous games, where damage is reduced to pretty much 10%)
- Dullahan summons Charon
- 3/4 starting characters (excluding Matthew) die due to Charon secondary effect
- ragequit.

[Ayako-Luna]

Holy shit!!! *__*
