Golden Sun is an exceptional series that you won't regret picking up. It's just received it's long-awaited third entry on the DS, and it is a welcome addition to the family.
To clarify, Golden Sun is a turn-based RPG series in the same vein as Dragon Quest and many of the FF titles that began on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. However, the games have one major distinction to them, The Djin. Like pokemon, these little creatures are plentiful, and are probably one of the most interesting features in the series. From altering a character's class and stats, to being needed to summoning epic and awe-inspiring monsters, the Djin will have players spending hours combing the world for each and every single one just be sure to check some guides for extra help!. Of course, it does take some work to find out the best strategies for enemies and their weaknesses, but combat is still a blast and probably one of the most amazing things ever seen on handheld.
The story of the series follow your typical Save the world formula, but feature a cast that are often more intelligent than your typical RPG hero/heroine (though that's not to say there aren't the standard Idiot Ball carriers) who each have something useful to say and contribute to the story. The locations are varied, and their characters are distinct, each with their secrets to discover.
If you love RP Gs, then pick up this series. Though the first two games came out almost ten years ago, they're still worth it to experiencing probably two of the best games ever made for the Game Boy Advance.
Forget Final Fantasy
