    Well, this certainly looks good.

    I can't wait to join this online...forum...game...err...online Golden Sun.

    So, what sprites will be available? I am so shotgunning Alex.

    Will it end up replacing the forum? Cause I can see most people (the sane ones) using GSW.

      "So, what sprites will be available? I am so shotgunning Alex."

      We're aiming for the most well-known characters from the Golden Sun games to be playable at first. After the initial Beta release, expect to see a greater variety, though.

      "Will it end up replacing the forum? Cause I can see most people (the sane ones) using GSW."

      Time will tell. It's not really our intention to replace the forums with this game, but if it turns out that way, I guess we can call it a success :blink:

      Take care,

        i'm guessing, with the things max has told me that there are possibilites of more character selection in the future (later versions)

        max has said already that the characters will be...
        isaac, garet, ivan, mia and jenna

        on the site (sorry if i missed anything out)

        please read the whole site before you ask the question here.

                I wonder if there will be tons of people either using Felix or Isaac for their person. I think I might use Garet, just to mix things up.

                    No. Just because people look similar doesn't mean they're the same person.

                    Example, Inn Keepers all look the same (more or less) but you know they're different. Plus, I assume someone's contact name will be visible on the screen.

                      I agree. I'm going to take Ivan. I like all wind adepts. And I wonder if you'd be able to change hair colour and all that?

                        In golden sun they are the same... since you rip the sprites from the game...

                          Yes but that's the point, they look the same! lol, the only difference is the inn-keepers are in different locations, where as people at GSW who will be wondering around in a crowd will be full of Jenna's & Isaac's and Felix's lol

                            I don't that would be a problem, because this is happening in most mmorpg's. so it would be just like those (only here you can't change your looks).
                            Felix w2ill be my first one, and when I don't like him after some time, I might wanna start one with Piers.

                              A good solution for that problem is the armors, weapons, and maybe other things that can make your character look unique. There could be special characteristics, and there could be class change, make guys have different elements ^_^ . Ever imagined Piers as a fire adept or Isaac as a Water Adept? It would be great ;)

                                uuh... they ripped the sprites from the game, and in golden sun your looks don't change when using different weapons etc (well in the walking round graphics)...

                                  yeah i know what u mean, but, apart from the basis of the game, the producers can do anything :) . remember, fire emblem was made from advance wars's game engine. while the sprites are unique and the command system too, they made new sprites, invented a new story, new adventures, etc

                                    But that was a real game production company! I doubt Max and the other staff want to make millions of sprites. I think all the sprites that look different to the normal town people should be available. Like the two guys on the boat and other random, interesting characters that pop up with cool sprites :wacko:.

                                    Piers isn't going to be initially available. Shame on you all :(.
                                    Meh, it doesn't matter. No more complaining, we should all be happy that they're putting the effort into making something like this.

                                      that's not entirly true, fire emblem's battle system was first made on SNES or was it NES?? i dunno but It was created before Advance Wars. The fire emblem that came out in north america is actually FE7, this means that there were games before it that weren't released in north america.

                                      Well, i sure can't wait for GSW to release....

                                      OMG!! what will happen to da forums when GSW comes up?! It will be like a ghost town in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 111111111111111 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one one!!!

                                        I think alot of characters should be available. I.E. Towns people, ect. NPC like Alex and agatio... Ya know, the works.

                                        Fire emblem game from SNES.

                                        I hope this will not be replaced. If it does, SHAME ON YOU ALL! lol

                                          I would love to be able to give you guys a huge variety of sprites, but it is not a simple matter. Almost zero non-party characters in the game have sprites for walking in all eight directions, and even if they do it is virtually impossible to rip them in a usually way.

                                              Not just the sprites in one direction, we need the sprites from the NPCs walking in ALL 8 directions.

                                                  Making custom sprites is even harder, and i don't think they should go out of their way to make custom sprites just so we have more to choose from. That's selfish people ^_^

                                                  I said in the minigames topic that it would be cool if you earnt more sprites over time, and could change them whenever you liked. That way moderators and older members can look different to everyone else if they want, but they can still use their fav sprite.
                                                  I also said that that would be very hard, time consuming and space consuming :\.

                                                      I guess this all depends on how many people are going to be on it. If it's only 100 or so, that won't be much of a problem (just change some of the colors), but if it hosts 500+ people, then we'll have to look into custom sprites or something of the sort.

                                                          Learn to spell.

                                                          One "world" is plenty. Maybe more towns later on, but I think the area they are making would be big enough for the start.

                                                                        There will only be one village, at least for version 1.0. Maybe in the future we could expand upon that, but once you start playing you'll probably realize why it is best to keep it small. If you start getting too big without many people online then it seems empty and there isn't much to do. The game is all about interaction, not individual quests, so we want as many people together to interact at any given time as possible.
