I’m excited for you! If you like it, that is. There’s a lot of game to enjoy, and if you do dig it you can carry over the save to the sequel. If you don’t like it though, no pressure. There are so many other games out there to try. :)
My childhood. Played golden sun and the second one. Never played the third. I probably played those games 3 or 4 times through. I’m pretty sure I have one and an SP around my place somewhere.
I won’t deny that it’s a fun game. But… If you think it was well-written, it’s the rose glasses. The story is really nonsensical if you think about it…
I played through the first one when it came out and really loved it. Never played the sequels though, for whatever reason.
This is probably just me, but I’ve tried to play through the original on an emulator over the years, and I had a hard time getting in to it. Just felt kind of slow from what I’m used to now.
I think it (and its sequel) is the best original RPG on the GBA. It’s a little slow to start and it suffers from mountains of unskippable dialog at certain parts but the overall experience is just so damn good I can let that go. Especially the class system, it has one of the most novel class systems I’ve seen in an RPG.

Oh yeah the game is great. Get both of em so you can transfer your save from the first to the second.
I never played the DS game so I have no comment on it, but the GBA games are really good classics.
I liked Dark Dawn (DS one) but it didnt quite have the charm of the originals. Still worth playing though in my opinion.
I played it when it first came out and it was a lot of fun! Highly recommend!
Sounds like I should give it a try. Thanks, everyone.

I only played the first one, very solid game. You actually remind me I should get back to that… I wonder if it has retroachevments?

I’m hoping it comes to the NSO service soon. Of course there’s nothing wrong with emulating, but it would be cool to play it on the Switch too.
I’m playing it right now, it’s pretty fun! Playing on the Miyoo Mini+, having turbo and fast forward is a huge plus for battles.
Nope no one

… or you could let an SA goon tell you about why, instead.
I’d also recommend Lufia 2, Chrono Trigger, and even Secret of Mana and Shadowrun (SNES version especially) in the same vein.
One of the best RPGs of its time, and absolute banger soundtrack too.
