      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.

        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.

          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.

            I made a romhack at one point to increase all gained XP by 10x. Might still have it somewhere, and it’d be easy enough to adjust for reduced XP.

        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!
