    Make Piers one of the selectable characters along w/ sheba and all those others. Make is so that you can choose Menardi, saturos and the bad guys too. Psyenergy should be abvle to be used out of battle like field magic (move) make a battle system and please add some sound. Get the option of being able to make armor too. (like forging.) If this is possible, the game would be awesome!

      Not bad, but I think someone said we would get Psynergy to use on the overworld, not to mention battling won't be implented, until sometime at least.

        I would have some respect for your suggestions, but you obviously have not read the FAQ on the website.
        http://gsw.goldensun...ndex.php?pg=faq

        For your convienance, I'll post it all here:

        ...
        What characters will I be able to play as?

            We plan to have Isaac, Felix, Jenna, Garet, Ivan, and Mia available at initial launch, but you can expect more characters to be added over time. Custom characters will not be supported nor implemented unless noted otherwise.

        ...

        Is there battling in GSW?

            While it is a core element of the original Golden Sun game, we decided not to implement it at the moment because it would be inconsistent with our current plans and gameplay elements.

          There was an idea a while back of being able to customize your sprite a bit. It might take up a bit of space though, having millions of different sprites, each with different armor designs etc. Unless the sprites were cut up into parts, but then it would take quite a bit of coding to get it to work.

          Anyway, if something like that was implemented, the forging idea would be quite good. I doubt any seemingly pointless features like this will be added for a while though. If ever...

            To be honest, I don't think it would be possible for people to create their own sprites, because that's 6 directions times 8 sprites per direction = 48 images for a complete sprite set. But it is technically possible to do this I guess, although I don't think people would create their own sprites.

              couldn't you make it possible to atleast change the colors of each character's hair? that's shouldn't be too hard would it?

                That would be ok, I guess, but I think they already are planning to do this in the future of GSW? All we can do is wait and see.

                  I would show you a MMO game where you can change your appearance and battle, but that would be advertising. :D

                  Anyways, that would be too much work. 48 x how many characters is a lot of recoloring.

                    true, but the idea can always be something for the future ^^ I don't think just interaction is fun enough, sure it's fun at first, it just doesn't give you a reason to keep going there. It's just a place to... well... run around talking to people. I hope the multiplayer games can change my mind ^^" go mini-games! XD

                      It shouldn't be too hard to let people make their own characters, I can make a selection thing in HTML and Javascript, but I suspect Flash is much harder.

                        Allowing them to have their own characters is not hard, you are correct. But being able to create your own character is very hard, as I mentioned above it takes 48 individual animation frames to make a full character.

                          Some people may do it though. It might be an idea to let people have their own custom sprites, after they've been judged to make sure they aren't crap. If people want to spend a lot of time making custom sprites, so be it :angry:.

                              Okay, that wasn't spam, but it should be.

                              Just because one person said they like it, doesn't mean he is going to put it in "I like this idea, put it!" (I added punctuation and stuff).

                              This was suggested before, what do you think about closing this? Eh?
