night vs. day in GS

So it's a way to turn pools of water into elevated platforms that people can walk on?  Other than uses in puzzles, what other ambitions do you have for it?  For example, do you imagine a castle out there made of water zol?


@ Wolf: DD Spoilers are fine, me thinks... And do spoiler tags work? [spoiler] testing [/spoiler]

So Zol exists in every Elemental form?
And it is also a stone, like psynergy gems right?
That would be pretty cool.

And they could be used to craft stuff.  Truth be told, I like the weapons more than I liked the elemental powers in the games.  I think they had some cool animations and effects.

Agreed, but relatively, the gs1 and 2 animations and effects just felt better( but I think it could also be nostalgia filter).
One thing I wish the golden sun series had, was things like lore for the weapons and stuff, something which Bravely Default pulled off nicely.
Examples for cool weapon lore would be
Sol Blade: A blade forged in honour of the sun, this sacred weapon was said to have been created at the peak of Mount Aleph, by bathing it in psyenergy, to give it exceptional strength and durability. As a result of the weapon's immense power, non but the greatest of heroes may wield it.

Is it worth making a new thread discussing how Golden Sun could benefit from advancements made in other RPGs?

I think that current RPGs do develop further the personality of characters and now all the RPGs are mostly Action RPGs and turn based RPGs is a subgenre that is dying.

Yes, I think so. I'm currently being inspired by Squares Snes RPG's. They share many similarities with the Golden Sun games. (especially Lufia)

And yeah except for pokemon. Btw, the game that inspired Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Fantasy_Legend) has many interesting pieces of gameplay for Golden Sun alongside it's fellow games.

I suddenly got this  :
If Weyard is a giant plateau on a planet, shouldn't Weyard be curved slightly?
If we look at the rules of our universe, the plateau would be curved or fall apart more quickly.
When Weyard would be flat all the water would be in the middle (asuming that the heaviest point is in the middle)

But this also explains why all the water is flowing off Weyard.

[Thunder-squall]

How do we know Weyard isn't curved slightly?

But if I were a Kraden-type fellow on Weyard, I'd probably have sent up a few hot-air balloons in the center of and on the perimeters of Weyard, and observed whether they appeared as if they were on the same plane when viewed from each other.  Basically, I assume that whatever passes for atmosphere could have helped control that all the balloons rose to the same height (given the same weights, and all), and ... well, it makes sense in my head, but I don't know if I'm conveying it properly... I'm a bit tired.

That brings me to another question: How far does the PC's line of sight go?

The Hot Air Balloon thing might not work 100% of the time if you consider things like fog (See Lumeria) and mountains... etc. ; And how could you trust that no one (People, animals, nature...) tampered with the balloons if you don't have someone monitoring them?

[Thunder-squall]

If we ever do a role-play thing, I want to be one of the characters involved in this endeavor, and I'm sure he'll figure out a way.

Well that makes sense. And you are properly conveying it.

EDIT: I don't know if any of you guys know the Discworld series (Terry Pratchett)?
Weyard seriously reminds me of discworld. There was also this whole thing were the scientist tried to find out how their world worked... by looking over the edge. Perhaps we might want to do something like this for our DC revival project? (I was planning something similar for my game)

I know I'm referencing silly @#$% again, but with it I'm pointing out how something can be a good thing (or done before).
