This post is just an excuse to use my new icon. Why are the Golden Sun Djinns so cute? 8D
Also, since I'm playing GS 1 and 3 at the same time (always swapping if I have enough of 3), I'm just noticing how superior the first game is. It might not look as good (though I would argue that. I like the style of the first two more than the style of the third) and the battle system has one big flaw (the characters will only attack the monster you chose for them and if they die before they could hit it, they just defend and don't switch to another monster), overall it is more fun. The battles are harder than in the third game. I was actually surprised by that. The dungeons are both good, but feel shorter in 3. I'm not sure if they really are shorter or if you just get through them more quickly. And that even though I know the GS1 dungeons almost by heart (Just like the dungeons of Lufia 2 and Secret of Mana :P).
Also, the ending of GS 3 is highly unsatisfying. The whole game is pretty unsatisfying, really. GS 1 has a good and interesting cliff hanger. GS 3 just annoys me. I'm not sure if I'll buy GS 4, even though they've finally reach the interesting part... Hn.
Also, no matter how often I play GS 1, I always, really always, have to use the Water of Life I got in Vault in the fight against the Giant Squid on the ship to Tolbi. Always. And in most cases I have to use it on Ivan. In more rare cases on Mia.
Also, Isaac is cute. I really love his design (not in 3. He looks horrible in 3. Garet as well, for that matter)
