I don't know if it's a fake or not. I hope it isn't as this would be awesome.

Let the speculation commence!

[Golden Legacy]

Oh my dear God.

At first, I'm skeptical to say that a "gobo_4227" could be seen as a reputable source... but those images seem VERY plausible.

---
This is exactly the sort of title that Nintendo could have revealed at the press conference to make a huge splash. Either they're saving it for post-E3 (i.e. last year, Brawl was revealed on the final day of E3), or it's just not ready yet.

But definitely promising. Good find, Nick.

[Split Infinity]

Wow, I'm blown away by this. It looks like the subtitle is going to be The Solar Southanger.

I'm going to go steal a DS now.

[My Best Wishes]

I smell a fake... But I am prepared to eat my words.
The Image on the touch screen is not new. It came out with TLA, just different colours. And what type of a title is that?

Split. It's the Solar Soothsayer.

[Someone Else]

Looked like The Solar Soothsayer to me... but what the hell could a "Soothsayer" be?

I'm skeptical about this though:

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2007/07/goldensunds.jpg

Notice the image on the bottom screen. That looks like the same image that was used for the boxart of TLA. There's nothing wrong with that, but wouldn't a true GS3 use original art? Maybe Camelot just slapped something on there because it's in the early stages, but it's my job to be a skeptic. :D Also notice that the image on the top screen doesn't go with the one on the bottom screen. I'll admit that the images look very genuine, but maybe this gobo_4227 is an expert modder/hacker that he could make a screen play on his DS lite to make us think GS3 was coming. Anything's possible.

Anyway, look at the screen on the Maxconsole site. See the paper next to the DS Lite? If anyone can read what it's saying, there'd be major cookies.

[Split Infinity]

Oh, I didn't see the uber-huge easy to read image. Soothsayer it is.

As for the text, you could probably feed it through Photoshop and Sharpen the letters.

[Someone Else]

Tried it... the pixels for the letters aren't big enough. Sharpening doesn't work.

[Split Infinity]

I'm going to search the web and see if I can come up with something clearer.

[EDIT] Nothing. Well, they did say there were no cameras...I did find a clearer image of the title screen however.

[Toasty]

When I opened the link, I started to hyperventilate, shoot snot out of my nose, and yell loud enough to almost tear my house down. If you saw me, you'd think I was mentally ill, but my hopes are way higher than the clouds right now. Now it's true that he could've just hax'd his DS Lite, or if he was a really good photoshopper he could've whiped up the title and all, but everything in the title screen is legit text and copyright wise. I looked up GS:TLA to see what the subtitle's (TLA) font looked like, and it fits perfectly.

Although I highly doubt it, I might be able to get a picture/video expert at the FBI to enhance the text on the paper since my cousin works for the FBI (He even interrogated Saddam, and though that sounds like BS and I have no way to prove it, it's the truth). I could e-mail the pic to my aunt, and she might be able to foreward it to my cousin.

[EDIT] With this picture, I can make out "600 Wii Points", "Air "Zonk/Yank/Zunk/Yunl/whatever"", "future", "collecting", something"DOES 1-2 players", "so stop Xing-" and "sidescrolling" on the right hand side after sharpening the picture and converting to black and white. Not sure what it means, but it's definately game related.

Here's the enhanced picture.

[Split Infinity]

I doubt your friend on the inside could get permission to blow up text on a sheet of paper in an obscure photograph having nothing to do with national security, but you can always try.

[Toasty]

It's not like they don't have a little spare time, and since we're actually related, I think I have a little bit better of a chance.

A soothsayer is someone who speaks the truth or advises people in power.

Let the plot speculation based on purposefully vague terminology begin!

[My Best Wishes]

There has been too many different hoaxes over the years. Each which has made it's way to GSS, and each time we all had the same reaction. Why should this time be no different? Because E3 is happening? Pfft.
(Like I said before, I am willing to eat my words if this is true, but I doubt it.)

[Blink]

The top image does line up with the bottom, actually. You can see the rays from the northern lights going between the two screens.

This image is, by far, the closest thing to a GS3 we have, I will admit to that. Even so, it just seems too far fetched that only a single man would break this NDA and only with a single screen from the game. The timing was well planned, the image is of outstanding quality, the press release on the right is the perfect subtle touch, but among the rehashed TLA image and this lack of anything more than a single shot, it's a little too little for me to call it anything other than a hoax right now. I would change my mind in a heartbeat if we saw the slightest hint of what was suggested in the description, the pseudo 3d or Felix in a real setting in the game, but right now, this just looks like a combination of Passme and Photoshop.

EDIT: Also, Soothsayer : a person who predicts the future by magical, intuitive, or more rational means. Very fitting for Golden Sun, and a brilliant name, but we've run into this before as well, so it doesn't really say much.

[Golden Legacy]

That's what's so interesting about this image - the fact that it's the closest thing to the real deal, in terms of quality. It certainly would take effort to produce something convincing to that degree.

Blink brings up a good point though - why only the title screen? If the person claimed to have played the title, why not take a picture of the pseudo-3D psynergy effects, or show us the overworld, or show us anything else besides the title screen?

Speaking of which, very cool title. I can definitely see it happening.

EDIT: Sorry for this, but I think this right here just might prove it false.

~3200~

[Blink]

Like I said, rehashed TLA image. Here's the full pic:

Sorry that I couldn't find it full size. Anyways, yeah. A rehashed TLA pic, not a good sign.

First of all, the DS is probably not for public use (it's likely inside a display cabinet).

Second of all, that image doesn't prove anything. Wtf?

[TheEnglishman]

I wonder why they wouldn't want to make a song and dance about it if it was a real game. The first two were popular enough to deserve a mention at E3 in my opinion. I'd be surprised if this wasn't a fake.

So the fact that we have Box Art and a title screen for two brand new GS titles doesn't register 'Hang on, this could be a really well timed joke'.
The Wii game is a lot less believeable then the DS one. Mainly because they're just old images we've all used in Sig's and banners. Plus, Celestial Chronicles? Sounds alot like the FF GC title.

Edit- Uh, GL. Did you zoom in on the bottem left corner saying- By:finalfantaseer.11/24/06

It will well done though. Except this bit. (The curvy bit of the Wii section)
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/5338/gslv2.th.png

[Split Infinity]

But the box art and the screenshots have different names!

[Shikonaurum]

Re-used art, the top background of Gaia Falls, no copyright symbol next to the 2001-2007 Camelot, already in English, no official announcement, what appears to be the Anemos teleport symbol or something, absolutely no new images whatsoever, and people still jump at this prospect. And only one person making an announcement? I'm sure there would be more of a rabble.

I hold as much hope as the next guy for a GS3, but guys, this probably isn't it.

And yeah, the Wii boxart? Can be found here. http://www.vgboxart....sun/?replies=19 Artist made it for fun. Poor people who believed it...

[My Best Wishes]

Have you not read the topic? How many actually belived the prospect of a GS3?

[Shikonaurum]

Read the topic, and it sounded like there were a fair few who'd be willing to jump at any prospect. Multiply this throughout the fandom and I'm sure there's quite a number. Point being?

Digressions are wonderful things.

I don't have a handheld on me right now, but was that text used for "2001 - 2007 Camelot" always used for the opening scenes? I'm curious; it reminds me of Fire Emblem's opening text quite a bit.

[FlamingDuck]

I'm thinking that this is a hoax. Just saying. It would be cool if it were real...

And guys, I think the paper is a list of VC games coming out, because you can read "Mach Rider (NES) 1 player", and below that, Yoshi (I think...match eggshells in a action puzle game, and something about Mario) (NES) 1-2 players, and below that, "Air Zonk" and the begining of TurboGrafx16, and below that 600 Wii points. And in the second paragraph, with excessive sharpening, you can see Wii Shop Channel, every Monday, can purchase Wii Points...So, It's not a GS3 press release. I checked all the titles I could read, and they were real games, with exception to Yoshi, which I'll try and find out about later.

EDIT: Yup, Yoshi was also a NES game.

~3200~

Very fake. The title's text looks all wrong. Though you all figured that out already.

Anyway, though this looks extremely real we pretty much ripped this one apart. I'd still like to know how the guy made it look so convincing. Did he hack his DS to display that?

[Golden Djinn13]

I'm impressed out how he was able to do that to, going on the basis that this is a fake.

The thing that seemed to give it away for me is the 2001-2007 date on it, seeing as it most likely wouldn't even have come out this year if it happened to be real...

[Golden Legacy]

Guys, I know the image I posted was fake. I pointed it out to, first of all, show how reasonably easy it would be to make a fake, decent-quality image, and secondly, to remind everyone that the art (in the lower half) was used before.

[Blink]

Yeah, eh, the second game is an absolute, ancient fake. There's nothing to prove anything other than that. I posted the original art itself too, rather than it being used in another fake. I thought that would clear it all up... I guess not. >_<

And yeah, if I didn't mention it earlier, only one person = more suspicion. A well planned fake, but a fake none the less. :/

[Wiflewood]

Gotta admit its well done the way he makes it look as if its on the DS screen (backlight, pixels etc), but I'm gonna go with fake. Imgiht try to cook up my own to see how easy it is to do..

[Toasty]

I'm still somewhere in between on this one, though I'm leaning towards fake. But one possible reason why he didn't take pictures of the in game scenes (this is IF it was in an actually pre-e3 conference, which is becoming more and more unlikely), might be because he only had a chance to snap a picture or two of it while everyone was busy getting to their seats. There wouldn't been any time to get further snapshots even with a camera phone.

Of course, if this were real and under tight wraps, the security would've made sure that there weren't any cameras (phone, digital, or film) allowed in the room. That's not to say it'd be impossible to sneak one in. On top of that, they wouldn't have let any reporters in in the first place.

But Camelot wouldn't have even had a conference if they didn't intend to give out more information, so if we don't see more by the end of E3, or at the VERY latest, the next gameing conference (non E3 related), then it's a definate fake.

[Sea of Time]

I haven't been this excited about a possible GS3 since I finished GS2, but I'm not getting my hopes up until Nintendo announces something/anything at E3. It is a cool title though, I'll give that much to the screenshot creator.

[Toasty]

Well the circle around the 'G' is new, I haven't seen it before in either of the two games, so either the guy made it up, the game's real and it's new art, or it's from something else in real life/internet.

[Split Infinity]

Bah! Heathens...

I can't believe you all gave up that easily.

[Toasty]

Split, it's pretty easy to give up on this after so many fakes. Even if it's the most convincing pic we've seen to date, once you take a look behind the picture, it's pretty easy to say it's a fake unless Camelot, Nintendo, or a REALLY reliable source says otherwise.

[Lemontime]

I'm not sure if it's been said before but on the screen it says Copyright 2001-2007 Nintendo / CAMELOT.
I'm not sure if they're reffering to the series, but if not, there is a major pitfall as Camelot Software Planning was established in 1990.
This could have no meaning at all, but I just thought I'd put it out there..

[DivineEclipse]

OMG, as i came back to the site this morning, I read all about the new "GS3 pictures and bring-our-hopes-up-Article"

At first i was very happy and and could not wait to turn on my TV, thinking I had miss Nintendo/G4's cover on it. BUT sadly to my relization from looking at the pictures and reading over what most of the Vet posters are saying, this by far has to be a fake. Yes i would love to jump on the banwagon and tell everyone that there is a new GS3 coming out but, after much looking over the internet and doing my own "lookover: on the pictures, this is not something im going to trust. Hey, a couple of months from now if the game is real and Nintendo is just not realesing anything on it yet (¬ ¬ which kinda makes no sence, if any of you watch E3 07' live on G4 that they where covering for all us beloved fans of video games who E3 shut out, you would have noticed that Reggie Fils did not leave many of us hanging with anything new about Wii, DS, or any other nintendo games) Then i will happly say i was wrong and stab myself with my Gaia blade. . . ^.^

[Split Infinity]

Don't forget that Nintendo said they'd be reviving an old series. It's a long shot.

[Aquamarine]

Lol... It's fake, I have no doubt about it. I mean, come on. Using TLA artwork for the title screen of a new game? Camelot wouldn't do that, and neither would any other games company.

[Lemontime]

But also remember that the article said that it continued from TLA...

[Golden Legacy]

^ Which is perhaps the justification the creator had for reusing artwork from the second game.

Then again, E3 isn't the end-all, be-all event it once was. If you noticed from the announcements from the three console makers, no true "megaton" was dropped (Wii Fit is reasonably close, but nothing that hardcore gamers would go crazy for). E3 is now just a "regular" gaming event, albeit an important one, and it probably now holds equal significance with GDC, TGS, etc.

[Someone Else]

There could be room for this to be real and Camelot just had to slap something on it to make it presentable... like I said, anythings possible. But I still doubt it's real.

Wish it was though, and Camelot would either announce a GS3 or say that they don't intend to carry it on. Waiting for a GS3 is seriously bad for our health, because we all know that:

Time = Money, Money = GS3, GS3 = Life, and Life = Fish sticks. SO, in the end, waiting for GS3 is costing us in fish sticks!! :P

[Toasty]

NO! Not the fish sticks!

But yes, there is always room for assumption and speculation. But I think we can all agree that this was a very well planned out, prepared, and executed hoax. And I'm sure we'd all be more than happy to eat our words as well. At the very least, I am.

[Aquamarine]

Oh man, how I hope I eat my words... GS3 is one of my dream games. :P

And just because it's supposed to be a direct continuation of TLA doesn't justify Camelot using the same artwork. They wouldn't want this game to look like a TLA remake, but a new GS game. Also, seeing as all four main characters were different in TLA from GS, do you really think GS3 would have exactly the same characters?

I still have no doubt this is fake.

[Gamingstaff]

Unfortunately there are about 30 Golden Sun 3 games, all with different titles. In my opinion I wouldn't trust anything to be real until it comes out in E3. If there is no official proof from camelot itself or E3, then the chances of it being fake are extremely high.

lol on GSA (another golden sun forums) we had this same discussion about this same website with the same fake images. This website was the first to release news about this so called golden sun 3 game, and it was most likely done either to win publicity because he knew everyone would make a big deal or just bad info.

But the chances of a person with an alias named gobo who happened to get a hold of these images of a real camelot game before it hit E3. Highly Doubtful.

But I could be wrong and there is that 2% chance I am and this is real :P Which I hope I am wrong.

[Split Infinity]

Or you could change your mind and be right before it's even confirmed, which would be even more awesome. :P

[baker1000]

So..am I correct in thinking it's an official fake? Guess so.

[Max]

As a forum member posted in a reply to my news post, the story behind the fake can be read here:

http://www.vooks.net...rticle&id=12036

[Nick Presta]

Wow. Thanks Max.

[Aquamarine]

But then, another question must be asked: Is this dude just lying? Has he got any proof that he was the creator of that title screen? Many of you are sure to say that there is no reason for the guy not to be tell the truth, but there are strange people who would lie about anything really, possibly to gain popularity on the internet. So I'm asking, can he prove what he's saying?

[TheEnglishman]

Wouldn't the new screenshots have come from him? I know what you mean about strange people but I doubt he's lying. Even if he was, someone would have said so by now.

[Aquamarine]

I know, I still have no doubt that these are fake, and he very well may be the creator of the screen shots(he probably is), I'm just stating a possibility that can give us more to discuss about.

[TheEnglishman]

It just feels like clutching at straws. Yes the guy got people talking about a GS3, which is always nice, but it's unlikely to go anywhere.

[Aquamarine]

Still, he is doing something to at least try and help the Golden Sun community in the slightest, unlike us.

[Someone Else]

I'm sure he is the real creator. He probably would have to give the same e-mail he used to send it to the journalists in the first place.

[TheEnglishman]

Aquamarine, on Jul 16 2007, 10:03 PM, said:

[Aquamarine]

I know, I'm not saying that there is something we can do, I'm just saying we're not doing anything. I hope that made sense...

Then again, maybe we could do something. Maybe we could go around all the big websites(gaming and otherwise) and spam them with posts and emails in which we state our wish for a GS3. Maybe someone important would then notice our wishes? Fat chance, I know.

[Toasty]

We should hax Nintendo and put a halt on all projects until they sign a legal contract saying that they'll make a GS3.

YES! NO GS3! THIS IS THE BE -

[Nightcat]

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2007/07/goldensun2.jpg
It's missing the © in front of "2001-2007." Why would there be any reason to remove it? The previous games say "©2001-(year) Nintendo / CAMELOT."

And in the above image, what kind of screen is that taken on? Definitely not a GBA or DS. It looks like a square unmarked monitor. Emulator + photoshop skills?

[Someone Else]

It's a DS lite screen. It's confirmed as a fake by the author, read the last couple pages.

[Viridian Tiger]

My, that looks good enough to fool me, except for a few flaws, here and there... Here, and there, and everywhere! ^-^

[Gardna]

I almost started hoping for another GS, but then i realized that it's too good to be true :s

[Golden Legacy]

All hope isn't lost... it sounds strange, but Super Smash Bros. Brawl might just be a saving grace, considering Isaac was one of the most requested characters.

[Viridian Tiger]

Yes, that is true. If there is enough luck and votes to make Isaac a hidden character in SSBB, then it should also be able to revive the idea of a GS3 game. ^^

[Aquamarine]

Yeah, like what Melee did for Fire Emblem. If there was no Marth and Roy there would be no FE's outside of Japan. And to think they almost threw out those two for other territories...

[Viridian Tiger]

Really? Well, hopefully all will go well with this game and, hopefully, it will revive some games that people may have lost interest in. ^^

Yeah. Although my brother and I were discussing this, and we thought it would be awesome if they made a GS3 for the wii. =D Imagine actually using your psynergy! Righteous!

[Split Infinity]

I think EVERYONE has thought that at least a million times. >.>

[Lightning Star]

Well then now it's a million and one.

Happy?

[Split Infinity]

Well no, because it's a million for each person. I'd guess there have been about a thousand members who have ever been active here, and that's a thousand times a million so...you're about the billionth.

[Kuchiyose]

yeah the image is a fake: http://www.vooks.net...rticle&id=12036 this is the website that made the fake image (it made others, I'd say that they have too much free time or they're just been muppets).

But according to this website: http://www.dsfanboy....n-golden-sun-3/ There is a possibility of a new Golden Sun 3 (same goes for wikipedia) but I'm guessing everyone knew that, its just proving the fact 'is there a new Golden Sun' and the answer is: maybe?

[Toasty]

Yeah, it's not so much "if" as it is "when". Camelot says that they want to, but they just need some more time. Though they could've DEFINATELY gotten some time by NOT makeing another golf game....

it's a fake...u can completely tell...the little "C" in a circle (which i guess is there for legal reasons) isn't there...so it's a fake. you find it in GS 1 and 2 near where it says nintendo and camelot. sorry to break it to you all...

Don't be sorry. Someone else broke it to us quite a few months ago. ;D

[Hb!]

It's not fair, I mean, if nintendo and Camelot know about that, why they just cant understand it? We WANT A NEW GOLDEN SUN, I really think that if they create a new version of this extraordinay game, their income would increase a lot. tsk, how come they can leave thier success just like that?,its simply unbearable, I really hope, that one day, Nintendo and Camelot,get to know this, and i hope they start thinking about it,
by the way (and I really expect this isnt a reapeted question).. Does anyone know if Nintendo has really seen this situation?, How come they leave thier fans just like that?.And, as many of the ones here, I got very surprised when I saw the images of the DS, but that feeling falled down, when I read in the same page, how the "gs3" was created.
I apologize for my bad english.

If you think Golden Sun is their only income pool then you are a bit obsessed. Nintendo has plenty of merchandise to sell, but they are not exactly focusing on income. While that is their goal, they need to experiment with new technology. They can't keep reviving old s*** in hopes of success. They need to test areas and see if it works out for them or not.

I think people would agree that making a GS3 would not be "reviving old s**t". This forum still existing proves that.

[Eugine]

True. I think Golden Sun is Camelot's highest rating game. I think...
Most profitable? I dunno...

[d0tS]

If anything eugine, its their best liked.

[Laharl]

Camelot made something other than Golden Sun?

I didn't call it old ****. I love it. Beaten each gs like 5x each. I am just saying that they are wanting to explore most likely.

It might be, but they can't rely on one game for profit. They have to find other games to make for profit also. I guess the other games are important to them right now.

I had sold a man a Golden Sun game a few days ago and kind of rekindled the fire. The thing that worries me is that a Golden Sun 3 would just be a "Golden Sun 3"
I think its good that there hasn't been a sequal just yet. After this We Love Golfing for the Wii, Camelot could be working on it now. They probably wanted to fiddle with some of the Wii controls before they went to work on it.

dude the thing that sucks the most is that i sent my friend that on my wii and he belived me so when i realized it was fake i didnt want 2 tell him

I'm just worried about voice acting and the battle menu if it's on the Wii. Honestly, if they don't get the right voice actors, they could probably ruin the game. =/

I'd like to see it on the Wii, but I'd kinda prefer it be on the DS. The DS has a wider fanbase anyways.


And if they're not making it now, it's becuase Nintendo's to busy with their casual crap to care. Those casual games probably bring in more than GS3 ever will. And they're dirt cheap to produce too. There's little graphic design, and sinc the games aren't big, there's not a lot of coding involved. They probably spend most of their time refining the controls.

[J-roz]

I don't know if anybody has posted this link yet but you have 2 c it


http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200...3309.htm?Page=3

it says that they are going 2 make a golden sun 3 but they just haven't got the time to do it yet

:P

[Ironsight]

Old old old OLD news.

[Blink]

I like how the two games I really committed my forum time to: Golden Sun and Star Fox, both have this uncanny ability where everyone asks why Nintendo isn't doing anything when really Nintendo has nothing to do with either at this point (Star Fox has been third party since 64 and Golden Sun is as much Nintendo as Banjo Kazooie).

[A very dedicated fan...]

Y'know, for the longest time, i messed around with GS fanfic... (failed)... and i would die in joy if there was some new story that would fuel my ideas! i tried, (and, like i said, failed), to continue the story of TLA. i wrote a 200+ page fanfic book called "Alchemy Unleashed" that fell apart, (mainly due to my constant reference to other games, like Zelda and FFVII)... now, if Camelot and Nintendo released a DS or Wii version of GS3... i would play it, conquer it, and then write a 10,000+ page fanfic on it! (JK)

anyway, if they dont come out with GS3 in the next, say, two years... then i will continue to wait! i mean, would a true GS fan give up hope completely when there is even the smallest glimmer of hope? (lame line, i know)

so, camelot... nintendo... BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drizzy Drake]

That's a little ambitious don't you think? Not even the biggest FF7, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. fanfics are 10,000+ pages.

[A very dedicated fan...]

idk, i just thought that it'd be cool to write a 10,000+ page book to do justice to the story! (id most likely screw it up anyway...)

and yes! i am a very dedicated fan! i played GS when it first came out... (my bro got it and i stole it!) well, it would be ambitious, but i would feel up to it if there was another game! XD

[TheEnglishman]

Forget fanfics, not even Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter have 10,000 pages.

[Drizzy Drake]

I don't even think all 10 of them combined equal 10,000 pages.

well, if I wasn't able to do it... would anyone want to help? lol jk... unless someone would actually want to write 10,000+ pages on golden sun!

despite my cheery, outward appearance, im still really upset that the two "sequels" were fake! i cant get over that. why would anyone want to trick true, dedicated fans such as ourselves to believe that there is going to be sequels?! to be honest, those two idiots got my hopes up and then, when i saw the evidence against it, basically glorified their "skill!" i mean, come ON!!!

okay, im done venting...

anyway, does anyone have any thoughts on what the title of the 3rd installment of the series should be?

(lol hows that for a abrupt change of subject?)

I like how new "members" who only ever post in here end up posting things we've read and seen months, even years before. :D

I'll play it when it comes out. Camelot said they wanted to make it, and were fully intent on making a third installment, but that they've been to busy or whatever. It's just a matter of time.


And the guys who made those things are very skilled. There's no denying it. Their reasons for making the fakes (as far as I've heard), was to stir up the comunity and create interest in the series again. If that really is the case, then I think it was a good idea.

i was just on a free download site and, (being very bored today), i looked up "golden sun sprites..." i found this:

http://www.pavilionb...ldensun/gs3.jpg

it is supposedly a picture from a 3D version of GS! if u look at the top left hand corner, u will see a scroll image that says "Vale..." its most likely a fake, but i thought that id tell u anyway!

and, i agree with the last person. if they come out with another game in the GS storyline, then id play it for sure! i also must give the creators of the fake games props as well... the skill and patience involved with making a fake game case and box art would take up most of my brains power! and, they sure as heck got me re-interested in GS, so props to them, not for tricking people, but for taking the time to create such realistic-looking product!

btw, if ur looking for a good RPG to do in ur spare time, go to "anime.myfavoritegames.com" and search for "Golden Sun," "Alchemy Unleashed," or, "Over the Edge." my friend made the Alchemy Unleashed RPG and i made the Over the Edge one...

have fun with them! i hope that u like them!

thanx!

It's from a site that specializes in RPG makers. It's probably a random fan's creation.

That actually is RPG maker. It looks exactly like the 3rd one. I had it for awhile but it wasn't a very good game at all.

[A very dedicated fan...]

Oh! I should have known... RPG maker? Now that sounds time-consuming!

Anyway, thanx for not making me feel like a total moron. I can see haw putting a pic of an RPG maker screenshot in a forum and saying that it MIGHT be a sequel can be a little idiotic!

If a fan does make, a re make for Golden sun, please don't let it be RPG maker :P
