Golden Sun

i fixed my rom so i'm able to play golden sun again.

so far, the game is pretty interesting. the combat is very similar to most other rpg's for consoles. the dijinni are pretty interesting. the closest way i can describe them are a cross between summons and materia in final fantasy 7.

the story is kind of engaging, but just doesn't have the epic "feel" like final fantasy stories do. this is not to say that the story is bad, considering i'm only through a very small portion of the game. but it just doesn't feel like it has the same urgency as the ff series.

i'm caught in the trap of trying to level my guys. before and after each town, i give my guys about 2 levels. unfortunately, the game doesn't tell you how many exp you need until the next level. it would make my job a little easier. hopefully, i'll be able to slow down on the leveling and just play.
