Golden Sun Dark Dawn

[Tentacruel]

tbh, I haven't played since I restarted my game to get the missing Djinns.

[DSS]

i've been playing "999 - 9 Hours, 9 Persons , 9 Doors", "Rune Factoy 3" and "EXE 2" so i'm still at the part where you need to fix the clock XD

[Engetsu]

Well I just finished the game. It was short, but very fun.

 

I'm gonna be completely honest. The final boss was actually very hard for me. That or I just completely suck at the game. More likely being the latter.

 

Also, right after the credits were done, an interesting cutscene was shown with Matthew, Tyrell and Karis...

 

If you're curious what happened at the end, then look at the spoiler below.

 

[spoiler=Spoilers]As Matthew, Tyrell and Karis headed back to the Lookout Cabin, Matthew quickly spots a giant Psynergy Vortex from across the bridge, which lead to an unsettling "The End...?". Could this mean that there will be a possible sequel in the near future?

Got my guys on levels 20+ and just made it over the mountain.

The difficulty of the final boss is indeed on another level compared to the rest of the game, sans the secret bosses.

 

**Spoilers???**

 

 

 

 

 

I just wished they balanced the difficulty a little better. I would have liked if the shadow monsters were always a threat throughout the game.

Pretty much.

Anything you don't understand in the spoilers?

Same here. It was just too easy overall, with only the final boss and the super bosses posing any challenge.

Finally got the game today. Just got the first Mars djinn, as I haven't been able to play much. I love all of the callbacks to the first games so far. "Yes, we were eavesdropping. That's the only way one can get information around here."

[Resident Fascist]

I'll get it soon >_> Is it like the other two games?

[encapturer]

Pretty much, yeah. It's very similar, with lots of throwbacks (the second boss being particularly lulzy). It will be easy, since it seemed like Camelot balanced the game accounting for minimal djinn for the most part. Above all, the plot stops you from backtracking at various points... for various reasons, so... be thorough in your searches to get all the djinn and summon tablets.

And there's a cliffhanger. Part of me hopes Camelot was already working on the sequel, so we can play it faster. The other part of me hopes that they have time to fix the mistakes they made in the last three games.

I finished DD's story and sidequests a few days ago. It only took me approximately 30 hours to complete it. When the reviewers said it was short, they meant it.

Regardless of it being short, I loved just about everything in DD.

Pretty much.

[Umbra]

encapturer, what mistakes? I honestly can't think of anything that it's inherently broken,

EDIT: Other than Psynergy losing its value in the endgame.

[encapturer]

Mostly a bunch of little things, really. For example besides the things mentioned in this topic, there's some wierd equipment progression going on in the endgame of Dark Dawn. For example, some things only found in the post game is weaker than stuff bought from the artifact shop. Not to mention what they did to the poor Kikuichimonji.

finally finished the game :3 22 hours of gameplay
and reading "The end..?" made me feel exited :3

It took me around 30 hours for both the story and defeating the superbosses D:

And for how the game ended, I expect a sequel. Maybe in late 2011/early-mid 2012?

Well it took me 22 times just to clear the story XD who knows how long i'll take to clear those other dungeons xD.
And yes a sequel is a must for this.

[Tentacruel]

I hate to necrobump, but I finally finished this damn game after a whole half-year or more! I'm a horrible procrastinator, even when it comes to video games...


Soooo... I thought we could get a discussion going on a possible sequel! =D

[Umbra]

[spoiler=Well, the sequel would obviously cover]
the Light Adepts, as well as the Umbra clan. Alex will definitely keep in touch; he's not out of the picture just yet. The Psynergy Vortexes - hopefully the Mourning Moon - should play a large role.

We may just be heading back into Sol Sanctum, once we deal with the Vortexes. (Vortices?)
