      The yes/no faces are so obviously made by a loser. Also, I think simple copying and pasting could've made all of that. Heck, I could.

        ^ I agree with MysticWarrior.

        On a completely unrelated topic (well, not based on the above, err, "screenshots"), I've read that the Japanese version features slightly more difficult bosses, as with several other games...

        Yeesh, you'd think that they wonder if we can't handle it :wacko: (but that's just me)...

            okay, this is kinda off topic, but in xian in gs...the way the people talk (like the merchants and stuff) is kinda...odd...they don't talk like the rest of the people in the game...

              The unique thing is that Xian is the only location in both games that has an exact equivalent in the real world; I'm sure it's obvious that I'm referring to China. I know of a site that explained it all...

              So, perhaps. Maybe Camelot wanted to keep a feeling of the original text and dialogue in the game... or something...

                Perhaps those pictures are early screenshots. I always wondered why you met Mia before Ivan or Jenna in the Japanese version; maybe this is before the story was finalized...but other than that, I think the only real difference is the names:

                Robin, Gerald, Ivan, Mary, Garcia, Jasmine, Shiba, Picard, Satyuos, and Menali...

                      I happen to think that in the japaneese version of the game, there are many differences pointed out by these screenshots.
                      As for Sol Sanctum, is it possible that the appeaance of the Venus Djinni is after the eruption begins, and you get it on your way out (and you're not allowed to use retreat)?
                      As for Mia, I can only speculate that in the american version, they altered it so that it fit in with obtaining her at the Mercury Lighthouse, instead of earlier.

                            well the sol sanctum 1 is possible fake because the djinni faceshot doesn't go inside the text box, they are always outside of it!!!, the mia 1 is most definetly fake, the village looks real enough 4 me, and the yes no 1 has to be fake, there's no way camalot did that... nooo way

                            <_<

                              also, I've seen a screenshot of the beggining (3 years later), where Jenna is walking along, and watches Isaac mending the roof, but it's Mia instead of Jenna. There was no text at all, so I'm not SURE that it was the japenise version, but I don't know what was up with it. I think it was in a Nintendo Power magazine from before when GS came out.....

                                The yes/no faces are hand-made by a loser, look at it closer.

                                            I'm on the way to getting a Japanese version, so i'll be able to dshare sum light on this subject as soon as i can, but i think that it is no different at all, but i ent spending to much on it, so it doesn't matter, lol

                                            :P

                                              OK! i got the jap version of gs and it is no different than the english, the only difference is that when you are selcting an enemy to use an normal attack it shows it's name!

                                              SO... i think i have concluded this topic!

                                                  Those pictures are GS beta in Japan.

                                                  They were going to use the Mia sprite for Jenna which is why she's in a house in Vale.
                                                  The faces are beta images and look very poorly done.
                                                  You meet djinn in different places because it's a BETA. Nothing was final.

                                                  Those pictures are horribly old and I have known about them for some years.

                                                      there are differences in games in PAL and NTSC just look at FF7 the japanese didn't get emerald or ruby and the onlythe the Pal Metal Gear 2 has european extremeso there's every chance something in golden sun could be different

                                                        but those rules only apply to game consoles like PS2, you can play an american gameboy game on a british one, vise versa, infact my lost age game is from canada. this is because PAL and NTSC is to do with the television itself

                                                            And the question's been answered...so I guess it's time to lock this.
