I'm going to give my brutally honest opinion of this game :(
I played and loved the first two games when I was younger and I, oddly enough, liked the second game more then the first haha.
Dark dawn, however, isn't a very good game I don't know honestly if nostalgia has blinded so many people ( i was blinded too for like the first five hours), but the further I play into this game the more I just want to put it down and play the second one again.
Just for reference im 13 hours into the game so i think I've progressed far enough to give it a pretty fair opinion.
The Good
* The story is pretty decent and lives up to the standards the first two games pretty good :)
*I've really been enjoying alot of the areas and the art style used to create this game
* It feels like a goldensun game which is a breath of relief for anyone worried about that
The Bad
* This game is easy....and when I say easy I mean it. Even though you have all this cool psyenergy, djinn to use and summons to summon you don't need to use any of them...just hit the attack button every fight and thats it. The enemys health is a joke and it makes me want to cry. My people will be hitting for 90 damage with just thier weapons and the enemy will only have 150 hp....thats two hits... and you have four people in battle at one time this game is not balanced at all.
*This game is to easy.... I know I just said that but this time I'm going to talk about the puzzles because anyone who has played the other golden sun games knows that there are alot of puzzles you're suposed to solve with your psyenergy but most (not all) puzzles in this game are stupidly easy and guess what? if you actually find a puzzle that you can't figure out (which doesn't happen) they actually give you a psyneregy that tells you what you need to use to solve the puzzle....it just kills it for me.
I really wanted to like this game and I know I'll still beat it because I love the world of weyard so much that I want to know the whole story but when compared to the other two games this one is just horrible I hope the next one they make actually has a little bit of difficulty to it :(
This is all my opinion of course so please don't hate on me for it
