I remember playing Golden Sun 2 on my newly bought GBA. Honestly, while the graphics and summons were spectacular, over all I foudn the game to be lacking. I think it was because each of your main characters had special abiiltiez, it would be better if some were regular warriors.

I did like these games as a kid. They had a real simplistic charm to them, the class/Djinni mixing stuff was reasonably deep, and some of the summon effects were amazing for the GBA.

Golden Sun made me almost hate dialogue. Luckily in most PC games you can just click-click-click it fast-forward, but Golden Sun (and probably other JRPG's, too), 15 minutes of

BLAH BLAH BLAH THIS IS FUCKING IMPORTANT AND UNSKIPPABLE

Then you finally gain control of your team again, but likely only for a short while. Then it's more BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. It's not even some important information or anything, but constructed like some casual conversation where words come out but nobody says anything.

He is like 18, i am the kid on the block.

Meh. I beat the first one and quit partway in the second. They were pretty boring. Standard JRPG affair.

The only memorable bit I remember happened in the beginning of the first one. Someone would ask you if you wanted to save the world. If you said no, they'd ask "Are you sure?" And if you said yes, the game would end.

The second game includes an auto advance function, not quite skiping, but quite handy.

 

[yes plz]

I hated the original games. Most bland, generic, and overall boring JRPGs I've ever attempted in my life -- and that's saying a lot for that genre. The amount of love these games get has always completely baffled me. For most games/series I hate, I can at least see the appeal, if not understand it, but not so for these ones.

 

[Talonfire]

Not very interested, I forced myself through the first one and gave up on the second after twenty minutes. They were really bland games, and I can't imagine this one ending up being any different.

Count me as part of the "Golden Sun is as bland as it gets" camp. Drakensang was more interesting.
