My first Golden Sun!

[Feroz]

I did play on sav. file and sgm bu then I made it out of there,it was very interesting.
And I agree,but it did not have a tutorial on the game.

I remember the first time I played TLA, I skipped getting the Lash Pebble completely... It didn't seem too important that there were all these ropes lying around until I was trying to get to Kimbobo...

I got stuck in Sol Sanctum

Um... I'm sorry, but is it even possible to use those words like that in a sentence?

stuck in Sol Sanctum... ... >_<

I... I don't even...

But really, I'm sorry, but there is no way you can get stuck in there. 95% of it is a strait path. it took me a hour to clear it, and that was due to some grinding. and i was 10.

My next question would be how long did you spend trying to find out what to do before looking to the internet for chea... um... help...

I first got the GBA at like 7 or 8, I was really addicted to it. I  beat all the games I have so naturally my parents got tired of buying GBA games for me. So in around 2008 they bought something like an r4 for GBA that cost $70. It has like 700+games but most of them are like games from the 80's. Found golden sun the broken seal in the top rated list and it was THE BEST game ever!! Didn't realized there was part 2 until i saw a "too be continued" at the last part. Spent 2 years beating the game cuz I got stuck at mercury lighthouse for quite a long time. When my friend told me about VBA, I immediately went to download TLA, beat the game in a month. When I heard abou the release of DD, I went crazy for it, however the game only arrives in my country at around Nov last year. I got it the first day, the hour it arrived in my country and it cost me quite alot of $$$. Quite disappointed that everything has changed, u can't even get to see  . Found this web when my friend introduced me to GS abridged and GS realm, I found the link there and that how I got here.

Please do not use emotes to refer to characters.  Just say their names, please.

[Kuroshiiutsu]

Oh okay, sry .

[Rolina]

Aye, emote spam is kind of against the rules.  You're really not supposed to use emotes in place of words, names, or punctuation.

Well... A little biography needed, heh? My first Golden Sun was in 2001, when I was 7. Father brought cartridge from...ghm, black market ("bazar") and said "it's a good game". I loved it from the very beginning, since when Saturos and Menardi first appeared and knocked down main heroes with deafening power. I still remember first impression - actually, it was a pure awe, mystical fear, music theme and villains' conception together totally impressed me. Sounds foolish, but I was just a child with corresponding psychology. Ha! Shamefully, my knowledge of English was very poor then, thus I didn't understand most of dialogues, yet tried to. Thanks to Golden Sun (!) and dictionary, my English skills progressed very fast and soon I far outrunned everyone in my class.
Amusingly, I also first got stuck in Sol Sanctum. But not because of puzzles and riddles - I didn't understand what to do with Small Jewel XD Occasionally, after many hours of useless wandering and waste of batteries (GBA, you know) I noticed that Small Jewel can be used in front of minotaur relief.
In 2003 Golden Sun was stolen from me (probably because I was boasting much - foolish clild!), when I was stuck in Tunnel Ruins (~Isaac LVL 42), with those stupid statues. I then begged my parents to find and buy me this game, and I've got GS:TLA as a gift on New Year (2003-2004). 1/2 of a year passed, and I was severed from GBA because of my addiction. I reunioned with GS in 2008, when alearned of VBA. So...that's my story.

I far outrunned everyone in my class.

that must have been a really bad class.

And i'm not one to point out spelling or grammatical errors, but...

It should be "I far (out ran)/(overtook) everyone in my class."

:P

Yes, that would be right... Don't forget about the differences in U.K. and U.S. English... I doubt this is one of them, however.
I wouldn't bet on that if he was talking about elementary/primary school... I doubt it would be wise to go by his current posts, due to changes that may have happened through the years. And besides, I have a feeling he was referring to vocabulary, which the word "dictionary" seems to clue you in on.

wow now that i think of it i don't remember how i got my first golden sun i was like 5-6 (I dont remember much frommy 7 below childhood any way)
but when I was about 9 someone stole my gba and all my games with it   
                                                                                                          <---me
and boy was i pisssssssed i even knew the guy cuase his older bro  offered to refloor our house and when my parents were discussing this with i saw my old gba siting on his desk with the scratch on the screen and the broken L button that it had and he even lived two houses away so his excuse was "I found all that stuff in the alley" yeah that was BS and then  my parents didnt believe me so I didnt get it back   and then i didnt find anouther copy of either game till four years later  and i didnt know about emulation for about anouther year but now I play this so much i could beat a file in about half a month easy(second game)

This topic is where you can tell / share your story of how you:

first found out about golden sun
Noticed the second game on a shelf while looking for another game years ago.  (Either that or a video game magazine.)
how you felt when you found out there was another game
Delighted to see the visuals improved.  Hadn't purchased an RPG in a while and wanted another DS game so I decided to get it.
and how it all lead to this site.
Searched for a fansite, located this one, lurked for a long time before deciding to join it.

I got GS along with some other GBA games.
I'm not exactly sure when I found out about GSTLA,probably through interwebs.
I finished TLA yesterday (defeated Dullahan), because of that I'm posting again.

I came to this site to see how active GS hacking is and if there is any full editor for my fangame.
(concept thread: http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?topic=2255.0)
However, I found out that the HC is not as active as it once was, and that the requirements for my game are hard to meet in GSTLA hacking.
