Golden Sun/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Translation Correction: A few of the Djinni have their names changed to reflect their elements, and thus the Theme Naming, better (such as Solo and Duo -> Flint and Echo). In the English text, Mia asks if her powers in general come from Psynergy, while the Japanese text has her ask if her Ply ability is Psynergy. This fixes a bit of Gameplay and Story Segregation where it's quite possible, and actually very useful for the proceeding boss fight, to set up Djinni so that other party members have Ply instead of her.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Minor compared to several other examples of this trope, but there were long-running jokes that managed to fool a few poor newbies, such as getting Feizhi and Kraden to join the party (with Kraden being an incredibly powerful mage in the "Philosopher" class) and the infamous Wheat Sword.
    • "Golden Sun 3" itself was an April Fools' joke for several years, complete with several hoax box covers. So fans found it a little hard to believe when "Golden Sun DS" really was announced at E3 2009.
  • What Could Have Been: The two GBA games were originally planned to be one whole game, but due to the limits of the cartridge space, the game had to be divided into two separate games.
    • There are a few hints in the files, particularly in the order of portraits, that suggest Alex was to be the final party member in the second game and was replaced by Piers. In this case, Alex's remark about being replaced is a subtle Development Gag.
  • The Wiki Rule: Golden Sun Universe and Golden Sun Universe.
