Just because you disagree with a tag at the top doesn't mean you should take it down without changing anything. The best procedure is to vote on the subject. Therefore, we'll have a vote. Vote Agree or Disagree on whether you feel the page is confusing, and please try to include a comment on why you feel the way you do. Please sign your vote with ~~~~. The vote about merging the pages is already taking place here. Some guy 19:10, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Agree - This article is about a game, and yet there isn't even any mention of gameplay. Some of the information here is also incomplete, which can be misleading (for example, there's a section on linking the games, but nothing on the password feature). The story section seems to assume you already know what's going on, and the introduction paragraph doesn't make sense. - 82.7.125.142 19:28, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Disagree - At least, I do now that there's been a huge retooling and rewrite yet again. As TLA is a continuation of GS, with all the same base game mechanics, just having readers read the original GS article's gameplay and then reading about TLA's enhancements and link feature is fine. I think both game articles are now at the point where only smaller edits can improve them further; all the base stuff I think I've done. Erik the Appreciator 20:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Disagree — I don't find the article confusing. It could use a bit more information, but it's not really confusing... - AlexJohnc3 01:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
The story section isn't streamlined like it the article of the original. Rather, it goes through a "back door" and sumerizes the situation, but not the plot. I actually don't know which aproach is better, so let's here some other ideas. HereToHelp 13:18, 17 September 2005 (UTC) (the guy who redid the GS 1 story section as of about the time shown)
Yeah, I agree. I can't help though, (sorry) because I don't have the second game. Yeah, I am WAY behind the times, but I love GS. Could somebody please fix that? If no one does, then whenever I get the second one and beat it, I'll fix it up. -t.z0n3
This and Golden Sun are one game, just split into 2 parts. The 2 games use the same battle system, follow the same storyline, and feature the same characters, meaning that alot of the information in this article (much of which isn't even mentioned, meaning the article would need work anyway) would just be a copy of what is already in Golden Sun; there is nothing in this article that couldn't just be stated there.
So, I am proposing to merge these two articles into a more complete article, which would at least get rid of the {{confusing}} tags currently on both of these articles. If anyone would like to help or disagrees with me, please reply. - 82.7.125.142 14:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
No way, the games are meant to be separate, so don't go trying to screw things up.
Then maybe you could explain why The Lost Age says "Golden Sun, Part 2" in the introduction. - 82.7.125.142 17:15, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Disagree. The games use different parties (until Issac joins Felix) with opposite agendas. Also, the first game has "running gags" if you will about the ocean and "don't die" which are absent in the sequel. Also, the games cover different terrain and locations. Keep them seperate.

Most of the complaints about the article being confusing are because it doesn't explain anything about gameplay (at least, that's the impression I've gotten). As at least a temporary solution, I've added a link to the gameplay section of the Golden Sun article. This should theoretically solve everyone's problem, as it provides additional information without merging the articles. However, it moves the reader to a different page. Thoughts? Some guy 00:50, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I just removed the whole section because it was speculation and this is generally avoided in gaming articles. We could quite easily speculate all day on anything. Some guy 04:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Will there be a Golden Sun 3 if there is I will be so happy. -- Metal 17:12, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
They need to make a Golden Sun 2 first. Just like there is no Lord of the Rings 2 or Super Smash Brothers 2. Gargomon251 18:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
They already made a Golden Sun 2, Smash bros. 2, and Lord of the Rings 2. They just don't have the words 2 in them. But, anyway, now that that's out of the way, I've been thinking of two plots the third game might be about. The first one is that Alex survived, and the old heroes and new heroes must defeat him. The second one is in the future when alchemy is unleashed, how the world changed, and a new enemy arises. Or a combination of the two. 71.185.197.119 ( talk) 20:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)71.185.197.119

Other edits from 82.198.250.9 ( talk · contribs) were vandalism, and I wasn't sure about the last one, which was on this article. I have reverted it, but if I'm mistaken, perhaps someone else could restore it? Thanks. AnnH ♫ 11:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Uh, some guy ( talk · contribs)}? You changed the link that said "Home of GS:TLA" to "Golden Sun fansite", saying it was a dubious claim? XD If you looked, you'd see the site was actually CALLED "Home of Golden Sun: The Lost Age". It wasn't a claim.
Saturos never says that the Jupiter Lighthouse is on Hesperia. He does, however, say that the Shaman's Rod came from Hesperia, which is correct. Shaman Village is on Hesperia. -- Evice 02:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and here's text from the game (taken from the script FAQ on GameFAQs):
Saturos: "Leave this to me! Sheba! Do you remember the rod connected to Hesperia?" Sheba: "The Rod of Hesperia?" Saturos: "The rod required to reach the Jupiter Lighthouse!" Sheba: "Ye-Yes..." Saturos: "Those who pursue us bear a rod...Is it the one?" Menardi: "Sheba! Stay where you are! You can do it from there!"

What about the other "continuity error" on the page ? I don't think it should be added, who knows what happened to their ship. Just because we don't see it doesn't make it a continuity error really. Viper 02:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Any thoughts on adding some screenshots to the page ? I think it might add some shape to the page like other video game pages. Plus , there's the general need for an idea of what the game looks like. Viper 02:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Is that section really necessary? Doesn't have much to do with the game. -- Steel359 14:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
It's underneath Trivia. Besides, Tales of Symphonia is also mentioned underneath Trivia and doesn't have much to do with the game either. Kyarorain 16:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
If anything, having that table works better in the article on Psynergy than in the second game of the series. Erik Jensen (I appreciate talk!) 22:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I saw the Golden Sun 3 part was taken out, rightly so, but shouldn't it at least be mentioned that the game ended by saying "To Be Continued"? I mean, whether or not we have information on a third installment in the series, we should still mention this bit, eh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eternal Trance ( talk • contribs)
Do we really need a walkthrough of the entire story in this article? -- Coolbho3000 01:37, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
It's been a while since I read through these, and the added pictures towards the bottom of the page really add to the overall article. Kudos to whoever stuck them there. T.z0n3 15:40, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
It's short. It's annoyingly so. Can we expand on this at least until it's a small paragraph? Connecting it to it's predecessor's article seems choppy to me. I'll look for that citation BTW. T.z0n3 15:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I see we're jumping right into the sequel for GA pushing. Based on how much effort it took to get Golden Sun passed, it looks like it will take a LOT of time and effort to fully rewrite, restructure, and source this article. I'll start with the synopsis section. Erik Jensen ( Appreciate| Donate) 20:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I would like to open up a dialogue in regards to the possibility of Golden Sun 3. Although the ending of Lost Age clearly insinuates an end to the series, there are an awful lot of cliffhangers left in the game prior to the defeat of the doom dragon and subsequent end of part 2.
In fact, Nintendo has neither confirmed nor denied intentions or plans to make Golden Sun 3, as stated in the article. I think it's a worthy subject worth discussing in regards to its recording in Wikipedia.
Reality is, Golden Sun 3 is a quite viable possibility for several key reasons: 1) the marketing success of 1 and 2 were to good to pass up the possibility for (a) sequel(s), 2) looking at the storyline in part 2, there are many areas of the game left open with no clear ending, 3) the demand for a third game is high, and 4) Nintendo isn't talking as far as it's plans with the Golden Sun series, hinting at possible additions.
Any thoughts? Editor19841 ( talk) 20:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I propose we wait a few weeks, and figure out whether or not that odd shaped mountain in Subspace Emissary from Super Smash Bros. Brawl is indeed Mt. Aleph. If it is, you can easily assume that it is for use in advertising...for a possible GS3. (Such as Roy in Melee). -- haha169 ( talk) 04:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I think the top thing saying Golden Sun is widely considered the best handeld RPG of all time might be weasel words. Can someone back this up? 24.159.39.11 00:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Seems like the introduction says that GS2 is generally seen as inferior to the first, but the reception section says opinions are mixed. The two sections contradict each other and this needs to be fixed. 24.108.201.104 ( talk) 07:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I think they will make the 3rd one about the time before Issac and Felix lighted the lighthouses. Waaay back when they originally built Sol Sanctum. Either that or a long time after Issac some fanatic unlit all the lighthouses.... Skane ( talk) 16:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
There are a lot of possibilities, but one thing is sure - Alex will have a very big role, perhaps even the new protagonist. I think it's nice to explain his relationship with Mia too. Cat ( talk) 15:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Considering the gigantic role that sailing plays in this game (as opposed to the first, which had no controllable sailing) I think it should at least be mentioned in the gameplay section. In fact, the claim that "Much of the game's time spent outside of battle takes place in dungeons, caves, and other locales involving many puzzles integrated into their layout..." is almost disproved by the fact that you have to do so much sailing. Vjasper ( talk) 18:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I have synced the page with the Japanese Wikipedia page of the game, which explicitly stated the 時代 in the title is not pronounced じだい but とき (which is odd, but it's not unusual for kanji to be pronounced as a synonym if the end result sounds better). Thing is, I don't see a source for it on the Japanese page, meaning it's not unthinkable whoever edited that is actually quoting a mistranscription. If anyone manages to find out more (I couldn't find anything about it on the official Japanese page) please add a source. 130.89.1.11 ( talk) 20:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
This review is transcluded from Talk:Golden Sun: The Lost Age/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
This is just a placeholder, I'll be giving the article a good read-through in due course. Someone another 17:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
OK let's roll. No problems with article stability, initial glance reveals a well-referenced article with a broad scope, this should be a painless process.
That's pretty much it, though I would like to give that Gameplay another look once it's been tinkered with. Nice work so far. Someone another 22:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Virtually there now, it's just the Djinni subheading in gameplay and one other thing:
That seems to be it, basically it's about the "Set" type terminology and textflow. Someone another 13:26, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your work on the article, The Lost Age is now a Good Article. Someone another 23:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I haven't read all of the above GA discussion, but I'm guessing somewhere in changing the wording of the article or before, some factual inaccuracies slipped in. In particular the section about the Djinn system contains some errors, awkward wording and things that may not technically be incorrect but easily misundersood. Part of the problem is that the first half of the section now uses somewhat freeform terminology while the second half uses in-game terminology without explaining it or linking it to the terms used in the first half. I'd say it's better if the entire section uses the in-game terminology for Set, Standby and Recovery. Additionally, while most of the section is referenced, the cited source actually says nothing about what's in the section. In particular I'm talking about the reference to "Kepper, Sean. Golden Sun TLA Guide - Collectibles: Djinn Guide", which does not actually say anything about how the Djinn work even though it's cited in sections explaining that. I'm going to go ahead and change some things. 145.99.155.53 ( talk) 13:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Now that said sequel has finally been confirmed, I don't think we need the "sequel" subsection within Development anymore. But should we try incorporating the information in the subsection into Golden Sun DS and its own Development subsection? BTW, the fact this page might no longer have a section talking about fan hoaxes might better allow it to be refined into a Video Game FA. Erik Jensen ( Appreciate or Laugh At) 07:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
If emulations aren't allowed to be listed under "Platform(s)", why is Virtual Console present in the original Golden Sun article? And don't you think it's a deficiency that the Virtual Console release is not mentioned anywhere in this article? Richbordoni ( talk) 18:59, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

I think the top thing saying Golden Sun is widely considered the best handeld RPG of all time might be weasel words. Can someone back this up? 24.159.39.11 00:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Seems like the introduction says that GS2 is generally seen as inferior to the first, but the reception section says opinions are mixed. The two sections contradict each other and this needs to be fixed. 24.108.201.104 ( talk) 07:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I think they will make the 3rd one about the time before Issac and Felix lighted the lighthouses. Waaay back when they originally built Sol Sanctum. Either that or a long time after Issac some fanatic unlit all the lighthouses.... Skane ( talk) 16:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
There are a lot of possibilities, but one thing is sure - Alex will have a very big role, perhaps even the new protagonist. I think it's nice to explain his relationship with Mia too. Cat ( talk) 15:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Considering the gigantic role that sailing plays in this game (as opposed to the first, which had no controllable sailing) I think it should at least be mentioned in the gameplay section. In fact, the claim that "Much of the game's time spent outside of battle takes place in dungeons, caves, and other locales involving many puzzles integrated into their layout..." is almost disproved by the fact that you have to do so much sailing.

I have synced the page with the Japanese Wikipedia page of the game, which explicitly stated the 時代 in the title is not pronounced じだい but とき (which is odd, but it's not unusual for kanji to be pronounced as a synonym if the end result sounds better). Thing is, I don't see a source for it on the Japanese page, meaning it's not unthinkable whoever edited that is actually quoting a mistranscription. If anyone manages to find out more (I couldn't find anything about it on the official Japanese page) please add a source. 130.89.1.11 ( talk) 20:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
This review is transcluded from Talk:Golden Sun: The Lost Age/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
This is just a placeholder, I'll be giving the article a good read-through in due course. Someone another 17:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
OK let's roll. No problems with article stability, initial glance reveals a well-referenced article with a broad scope, this should be a painless process.
That's pretty much it, though I would like to give that Gameplay another look once it's been tinkered with. Nice work so far. Someone another 22:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Virtually there now, it's just the Djinni subheading in gameplay and one other thing:
That seems to be it, basically it's about the "Set" type terminology and textflow. Someone another 13:26, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your work on the article, The Lost Age is now a Good Article. Someone another 23:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I haven't read all of the above GA discussion, but I'm guessing somewhere in changing the wording of the article or before, some factual inaccuracies slipped in. In particular the section about the Djinn system contains some errors, awkward wording and things that may not technically be incorrect but easily misundersood. Part of the problem is that the first half of the section now uses somewhat freeform terminology while the second half uses in-game terminology without explaining it or linking it to the terms used in the first half. I'd say it's better if the entire section uses the in-game terminology for Set, Standby and Recovery. Additionally, while most of the section is referenced, the cited source actually says nothing about what's in the section. In particular I'm talking about the reference to "Kepper, Sean. Golden Sun TLA Guide - Collectibles: Djinn Guide", which does not actually say anything about how the Djinn work even though it's cited in sections explaining that. I'm going to go ahead and change some things. 145.99.155.53 ( talk) 13:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Now that said sequel has finally been confirmed, I don't think we need the "sequel" subsection within Development anymore. But should we try incorporating the information in the subsection into Golden Sun DS and its own Development subsection? BTW, the fact this page might no longer have a section talking about fan hoaxes might better allow it to be refined into a Video Game FA.

If emulations aren't allowed to be listed under "Platform(s)", why is Virtual Console present in the original Golden Sun article? And don't you think it's a deficiency that the Virtual Console release is not mentioned anywhere in this article? Richbordoni ( talk) 18:59, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
