No, golden sun is a more traditional turn based JRPG, unlike Shining Force which is a Tactical RPG. A lot of the same people who worked on Shining Force went on to form Camelot, the company that made Golden Sun. Between Shining Force to Gol

You've lost some things here or there but everyone loses somewhere no matter what their facade says. You're not a quintessential loser. Literally nobody is, we're all made with redemption in mind.
