#Old Boy Game Box Original #260 Author:Red Soul の恋°C√ Revised: Thunderling
Every time I see an article or video related to the GBA's "Golden Sun", I will feel a little touched by "youth has passed away, the game is still there". I remember that when the author still used the pocket money saved for three or five months to get the cassette of "Golden Sun", I was excited to stay up all night, and the rich game content of "Golden Sun" was indeed worthy of my sleepless expectations at that time, I believe that every time you revisit this game, it is also mixed with a lot of memories of youth, right?
Released in 2001 of the "Golden Sun" series, now there are only "Golden Sun Open Seal", "Golden Sun Lost Era", "Golden Sun Dark Dawn" three works, the plot of the pit is digging deeper and deeper, but the game has not moved after more than ten years, presumably it will be difficult to have a sequel to this game in the future, thinking of this, an inexplicable loss surged in my heart.
I spent my time in the GBA "Golden Sun" at school, I remember the first time I entered the continent of Viad, came to the village of Haidia, which has guarded Mount Alpha for generations, fought against Satiros, and was full of thoughts about the labyrinth route, when the teacher's reprimand in the class finally pulled my mind back to reality, completely forgetting that I was originally in school (p.s. reviser note, don't learn the author of this article, listen to the lecture well! After school, there was no time to take care of the bustling scene on the side of the road, as if it had nothing to do with The Golden Sun, and just wanted to hurry home and continue to explore the world of Viad. At that time, the labyrinth puzzles in "Golden Sun", the collection of various elves, the hard work to improve the effect of mental strength, the collocation research on career changes, and the subtle relationship between chiaroscuro characters constituted the author's most beautiful childhood memory at that time.
Regarding the plot of "Golden Sun", the author was most impressed by Ivan's mind-reading skills, which was still locked up for a long time in Kupuap Village, only because I could not find the thieves on the second floor of the inn.
The plot of Kupuap Village is not complicated, just enter the village can find out that the heirloom of the village chief's family and Ivan's magic staff have been stolen, at that time play here felt that this is completely unbearable, you must find the thieves to repair it! The house on the second floor of the village inn actually had a hole, and I didn't care too much at the time. After communicating with the village chief, he did not notice that the little brother at the door of the inn was also tied up by thieves, and he walked around the map for a long time without knowing that he had to use mind reading to collect the next plot intelligence.
I was stuck here for more than a week, causing me to be crushed all the way back and finish abusing Satyros
As the plot develops, arriving at Rama Monastery will meet another mind-reading teacher, Hamo, who will impart to us another wind system spiritual force, "perspective", which can only see through people's hearts compared to mind reading, and perspective can see through the essence of things, which is more powerful than mind reading. At that time, I didn't quite understand why Ivan said that spiritual power had caused him some troubles, until the mentor Hamo used perspective to cross the mountains to save people, I understood that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the strong spiritual power can only exert its full strength if it is used in the right way.
Golden Sun rarely takes the initiative to guide you to use some kind of spiritual power, but the longer you play, the more you are comfortable with the use of mind reading and perspective. Gradually, you will find that mind reading looks at changes in life, that is, the inner changes of the characters at different stages of the plot, while perspective looks at changes in matter, after all, the best equipment needs to be taken with perspective.
Later, every time I re-brushed "Golden Sun", I also liked to use mind reading to deliberately observe the inner changes of NPCs, remembering that the stump people in The Village of Kolima, after becoming a stump and returning to human beings, had completely different inner thoughts. Using mind reading to study the subtle directions of the golden sun plot is also one of the funs of this game.
I've always felt that mind reading is the most classic game design in Golden Sun, and to some extent, mind reading is not a portrayal of our reality? With the increase of age, the richness of experience, our hearts are also gradually changing, I don't know how many people in front of reality have gradually forgotten the original dreams and feelings, sealed them into the depths of the heart.
The author's "Golden Sun" GBA cassette in the cabinet has been kept in the cabinet for a long time, one day cleaning the house found that it has been covered with a layer of dust, when cleaning up the cassette tape, I remembered the various feelings of playing "Golden Sun" in the past, and fell into a long meditation... In fact, it is just a sudden reluctance to have those childish feelings of the year, maybe there will be no second time in such a touching life?
