There is indeed a new Golden Sun game, announced at E3 a year or two ago and released November 29th in the US. Releases for both Europe and Australia are soon to come, last I checked.
I have a couple problems with Dark Dawn, really, but most of them are overshadowed by the fact it's Golden Sun and it actually got released and beyond a couple things there are no huge gaping flaws from where I'm standing and it's just wonderful if you're not too upset by a couple things~♥
Is it as good as the first two? Or even close? I loved the original games to death, but I've been worried a "thirty years later" sequel wouldn't hold up.
I find it is about as good as the other two, but I am not at all willing to say it actually
is, because I can immediately think of something that would have been a major irritant had I not been forewarned. Anything resembling objectivity is pretty much overshadowed by the whole GOLDEN SUN GAME YESSSSSSSS factor.
I can say that the game
feels a bit different than the other two, though some of that is to be expected. Thirty years after the end of The Lost Age, which did kind of end with the gates open to major world changes. As for one of my biggest issues, and one I was fortunate enough to avoid thanks to being warned about it... well, it's more of a gameplay spoiler than anything, but in the event anyone is a bit touchy about that sort of thing,
There are three points of no return in the game. The first and third are literal points of no return, and you can never visit those regions again. You can revisit the second region after the third point of no return, but some of the stuff there is still rendered inaccessible and thus lost forever. The main things this includes are summon tablets and Djinn.
You get a warning about the second point, and you might be able to figure out when the third one is before you cross it (it's completely obvious when you do cross it, I think), but the first one comes after a short plot event and pretty much without any warning. Not without the gift of hindsight, at least.
Even with that, I still love the game. I think it's great, and I'm hoping that feeling doesn't die down after the initial excitement. And even if it does, the part of the fandom I actually associate with is only going to take this and do incredibly interesting things with it.
I could probably say a bit more on it, but that might be more suitable for PMs, and I'm not sure how you feel about spoilers either. So yeah, if you want to knowing more before trying the game (if you do!), just let me know how you feel about spoilers and what you're interested in and I'll see what I can tell you.
Learning more people are actually interested in the series made me happy~
