Personally I'd love a remaster which, while retaining the original sprite-work, cleans things up for a HD experience (e.g. 16:9 resolution) and adds a few QOL features. I think that would be relatively low-effort while making a bigger deal of the games than ROM-dumping on NSO.
I never liked Golden Sun. I could NOT get into it, at all. No idea why, I do love most RPGs, but this one... Maybe it was the medium, I wasn't a huge fan of the GBA either.
@komodo182 Honestly, I had to look up a list of RPGs released in 2000/2001 to see what else was from that era, and I thought all of those were crap. Maybe it was me, I was around 19/20 at the time, so I guess I just wasn't interested in RPGs at that moment.
One of my earlier RPGs is Breath of Fire, and I have very, VERY fond memories of it, and am even enjoying it right now on the Switch, but by all accounts it's not a very good game.
Not that I am saying Golden Sun is a bad game, but I just wasn't as impressionable as I was in '93.
I still remember drawing concept art for Breath of Fire 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in class. I really liked that game, haha.
I had the opportunity recently to play Breath Of Fire on the SNES Online service, and it does evoke many RPG elements that Golden Sun later perfected (in my opinion), particularly in its music and level designs. Not a bad game!
kingdom hearts 1 and 2 got an HD remake. why can't GS 1 and 2?
I'm afraid you're comparing apples and oranges here.
Kingdom Hearts as a series is in an entirely different place. While there was a significant gap in time between KHII and III, the series never went inactive, as the "inbetween" games were numerous. The series has become a lasting sensation.
I also don't think it's as easy to get away with remastering a GBA game... I think the games would most definitely have to be remade (at least like Link's Awakening), which would then end up being a ton more work than what went into the KH ones, which were mere remasters, not remakes.
