Only the snobbiest of GSfags hate this.
Yes it's disappointing, but not the trash they picture in their head.

Good parts
>environment art is great
>summons are cool
>music is breddy good
>Karis is hot
>it's kind of cool starting from level 1 and ending up with a party the size and power of Lost Age's endgame in one game
Bad parts
>schizophrenic difficulty
>points of no return
>plot is retarded
>despite having a retarded plot, the characters will not shut up
>psynergy puzzles are mostly pretty barebones
>hey remember that plot we set up in the early game before getting distracted by a fetch quest for 20 hours? Buy the sequel we're never going to make so you can experience the plot you thought you'd be getting with this game :^)
It's not irredeemable trash, but it's inferior in most ways to the two games that came before it.

>>3841629
what awful art.

... I am personally offended that image does not include Rief who is a core character of the story along with those three. Especially in a genre so burdened by rigid gender roles resulting in an absence of nerdy male mage heroes. The entire "girls are healers and mages, boys are warriors" trope has such a death grip on everything anime-styled. Fuck knows Golden Sun participates in the cliché more often than not.

So why omit Rief? Why?? It'd be like doing a splash art of Mother 2 without Jeff.

>>3841655
There's another good part: it's a Golden Sun game. Because the first two were not enough on their own. And we still need more Golden Sun games. So...

>girls are healers and mages, boys are warriors
This is based and should be upheld.

>>3841792
Really dumb, actually. The best of any profession except mother is a man.

You don't feel even the minimum valid amount of shame for the fact that you're a greasy, acne-riddled fatass with the physique and physical competence of a Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole?
Who are you tanking for, exactly? Betty Crocker?!

This is completely made up. A very small amount of JRPGs do this, much smaller than the amount of games that don't. Final Fantasy 2 (1988) had a male healer and a female pirate. Dragon Quest 3 (1988) lets both gender be any class. Fire Emblem (1990) has 4 male healers and 3 female healers, and more warrior-type women than mage-type women. All those series have been full of male mages, including some nerdy ones and some non-nerdy ones. You are chasing shadows of your own imagination.

>>3841871
Cherry picking doesn't help your case. How many JRPGs are there? How many in total?

What you shoud be complaining about is the lack of justice for Himi

Yes.

I don't know what that means.

Hearing this makes me doubt the rest of your opinions, because I played this game when I was a retarded kid who knew jack shit about JRPGs and I had no trouble beating it.

>>3841871
Nah, most games I've played make the healers female. Typically, there will be only one dedicated healer, and it will be a girl.

t. actually plays JRPGs instead of reading cherry-picked screenrant lists of "TOP CHARACTERS"

>because I played this game when I was a retarded kid who knew jack shit about JRPGs and I had no trouble beating it.
I do not mean it's hard. I mean it has random difficulty spikes like the Ice Queen while all the important fights like Blados and Chalis are trivial, except for Chaos Chimaera where they finally try to kill you.

>>3842266
Yeah, i didn't have trouble with any of that. If the game is too hard for you, just play something else, lol

Any other games with "field spells" like in Golden Sun?

>>3842033
The last one to join who has literally ZERO connection to the plot whatsoever? Whose personality is that she's an inert comatose mute invalid?
What about her?

I want to cum on her forehead, but man, that aside, is she an actual waste of a lore/story-relevant character slot.

Her brother was obviously being set up to be the 4th game's protag, but they never made it.

>>3842266
I remember expecting the first real boss after the ice queen to be challenging since they made you wait 3+ hours between them only for it to go down in like one turn.

>>3845272
I had to prioritize somehow. It was a painful enough decision as it is. What decided it for me was that I couldn't find any good sauce for Eleo that included his muscles.
