I went grave digging, thinking that there MUST be a thread about this awsome RPG series for the GBA... and there isn't one. CRAZY! So I made one... both games are awsome and the second one (Golden Sun: The Lost Age) takes literally right after the first (as the first is only part of the story). The second game threw me off at first when I first started playing because you are not playing as the same group of people as you did in the previous game. Anyway, I know that there are a lot of people on this forum that haven't played it so... here's a little overview
The world that it takes place in is called Weyard, a world where alchemy evolved great civilizations for the world of men. Notice the past tense there. Since alchemy was so great, people started being selfish and started wars and such causing great strife and so some powerful people locked the power of Alchemy away.
In the first game, you play as Isaac and at the beginning of the game you run into some people who are trying to revive Alchemy by stealing the elemental stars and lighting the elemental lighthouses (when the 4 lighthouses are lit, the seal on Alchemy goes bye bye), and so your party basically is chasing them.
I don't want to explain the second game yet because 1. OMG sPoIlErS XDXDXDXDXDXD 2. I actually want to talk about something else at the moment (I'm in a weird mood today)
Now the characters are adepts, which are basically people who can use psynergy (psychic energy). Now there are four different types of adepts for the four different elements (earth, water, fire, air), and they can do all sorts of different things using this psynergy ^_^
Now the reason why I'm making this post (because I'm at work and BORED!). I've been playing the second game lately since I've missed it (teehee Piers <3) anyway I've even drawn a little djinni (these are elemental spirits/sprites you can collect in your travels that boost you abilities and they can summon things too, again 4 types ^_^) The djinn are so CUTE!!!!!! And... I am unable to show you the one I've drawn because I'm at work and not near a scanner.... so I can only talk about GS and show you an actual image of the cute little critters.

brown one's Venus (Earth) red is Mars (fire) blue is Mercury (Water). I drew a little jupiter (wind) djinni ^_^ with some alterations (mine has a different eye style, and I added a tail).
And it's time for me to go to a different lab for another hour... so... Ja ne!
So who DOES know of the awesomeness of Golden Sun?
