Never heard of it is it any good?

Might just be me looking at the game with rose colored glasses and the game may not have aged well - but I remember having a blast playing Golden Sun as a kid. I think you’d enjoy it if you like JRPGs.

Na, no rose colored glasses needed! The first Golden Sun is one of my favorite top down "classic" jrpg. I replayed it a couple of years ago on my old Ds (the one where you can play your Game Boy Advance games) and it aged really great!

The only thing I can think of not aging well by today's standards is the level grinding. I recall having to do quite a bit of it my first time playing it, just to keep up with the difficulty curve, and it's not like I was skipping all the sidequests. That was a fairly common aspect for RPGs of the era, I think.

It's also possible I wasn't very good at the game, I was like 11 or 12 at the time.

Can you increase the game speed with these Nintendo Online games? I have been emulating them and find that takes the edge off the grind quite nicely. I agree they can be bit of a slog in some places because of it.

I played the game last year but it was incredibly easy as an adult. I didn't even finish it because it was too boring. I might download a mod that increases the difficulty.
