    The first JRPG I ever played (besides for Pokemon R/B/G/S which doesn't really count imo). In my opinion Golden Sun is a perfect introduction to the genre; it has an extremely simple skill/battle system, fast-paced battles, and all the JRPG fundamentals (in a somewhat generic form). The story, characters, and soundtrack are all good but nothing special. However what really drew me into these games were the impressive visuals they had on the GBA, the fun/creative puzzles (comparable to 2D Zelda games), and the Djinn collecting (think of Pokemon).

    Overall Golden Sun 1 & 2 are some of the funnest games I've played, and I find myself replaying them often compared to most other JRPGs even if they aren't as good. Also my username came from the psynergy attack 'Odyssey' from this series :)

      Editing … Generally I don't like puzzles, but I like them even less in a game with random battles where I'm getting overleveled trying to figure out what to do. Though I suppose that would only be a problem on the first playthrough.

      Editing … That's the good thing about Golden Sun is they take encounters out of the areas with puzzles :D

      Editing … Oh, I guess I ran away from the puzzle then. But good for them.
