Golden Sun The Lost Age GBA

"Golden Sun: The Lost Age" is the second installment in the "Golden Sun" series of role-playing video games. It was developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. Released in 2002, the game is a direct sequel to the original "Golden Sun."

In "The Lost Age," players assume the role of Felix, who was an antagonist in the first game, and his companions as they embark on a quest to light the remaining Elemental Lighthouses in the world of Weyard. The game's events occur simultaneously with those of the first game, but players experience the story from a different perspective.

Key features of "Golden Sun: The Lost Age" include:

1. Continuation of Story: The game continues the storyline from the first "Golden Sun." Players learn more about the world of Weyard, its elemental balance, and the consequences of releasing or containing the power of Alchemy. The main characters from the first game also make appearances in "The Lost Age."

2. New Characters and Party Members: Players control Felix and his group of companions as they travel through new locations, encounter various challenges, and battle enemies. As in the first game, players can collect Djinn to enhance their characters' abilities and perform powerful summons.

3. Exploration and Puzzles: Similar to the first game, "The Lost Age" features exploration of towns, dungeons, and overworld areas. Players solve environmental puzzles using Psynergy and Djinn abilities to progress through the game.

4. Elemental Magic and Summons: The game retains the elemental magic system and Djinn mechanics, allowing players to harness elemental powers and use Djinn to perform powerful summoning attacks during battles.

5. Linking Games: "The Lost Age" introduced a feature called "password linking," where players who completed the first game could input a password at the beginning of "The Lost Age" to transfer their party's data, Djinn, and items. This allowed for a more customized experience in the sequel.

6. Continuity with the First Game: By completing both "Golden Sun" and "Golden Sun: The Lost Age," players can access additional content and a true conclusion to the story.

"Golden Sun: The Lost Age" was well-received for its continuation of the story, deepening of the game world, and expansion of gameplay mechanics. It's often praised for its challenging puzzles, strategic combat, and its connection with the events of the first game. The game is a significant entry in the series and remains popular among fans of classic RPGs.
