Basically this.
I fell asleep :P. Not really the game's fault though, I was due for a nap.
Any things I should do/not do near the beginning?
Also, don't just give the djinns to the corresponding adept, mix it up a little. You'll discover some badass classes this way.
and free
sol blade lets out a howl baby
that was basically a mid-sized summons right there
but some of the psynergy looked badass
garet's liquifier was sweet

People always rag on about the dialogue being boring, and for the most part it was, but I think I must have used Mind read on every single NPC in the game. I am a sucker for expansive worlds in RPGs and will put up with a lot of bullshit if at the end of it there's neat town to explore with hidden items and junk. Getting the Boat in The lost age was a wonderful moment.
Oh and using Magic outside of battle is a really cool feature, and I wish more RPG did something similar.
The djinn were a very cool mechanic, although I generaly used their powers and summons over their passive class changing and always gave the fire djinn to Garrett, the water djinn to Mia etc. Unless there were some vines that needed growing.
Then once Isaac and co. joined you in Lost Age, they absolutely sucked. Yay.
Sure, if you didn't transfer them.
Heck weapons right from the start have better proc abilities then the endgame loot from 1.
1 does have that piece of equipment that has you basically always go first though.
Shows battle mechanics. Apparantly, it now auto-targets instead of leaving you idling. Good for you lazy folks. :P
Nice. Looks like they fixed the one annoyance I had with the battle system.
There's also a video that shows some out of battle stuff. It looks like Golden Sun.
holy fuck on hotwings
did you SEE ragnarok? :O
i'm just as impressed as when isaac learned it in the first game.

And don't forget that
Also, the touch controls looked a bit iffy in that demo playthrough, but that could've just been because mr. annoying lacked patience.
what do you mean?

I got GS:TLA at random because I was young and the art on the cartridge looked cool. Knew nothing about it.
I fucking loved that game.
The djinni system, where you can pull off high-damage summons at the expense of your stats is a great idea, but the great risk/reward only ever comes into play during a few boss battles. In most battles (e.g. every generic random battle), there just isn't enough risk to it, and the battles are way too short for it to affect strategy.
Regular weapon attacks and weapon unleashes drastically outclass psynergy and djinni attacks later in the game. This takes out a lot of depth to the battles.
Area-of-effect psynergy attacks, where farther enemies take less damage, are a good idea in theory, but in most battles, I found that there wasn't a significant enough of a difference in damage between the middle targets and end targets. Usually, if the middle target dies, the end targets die too, or the end targets are at most one more hit away from death.
Basically, most battles can be won by spamming the normal attack, and only bosses tend to be fun to fight. This is all IMO, of course.
plus, so many of the djinn's functions were great. say you're in a battle and your party take a hit or two. you don't need to use psynergy to heal, just use a djinni unleash. i was constantly using djinn in both games. i don't think i used battle psynergy except during boss fights where it was better to keep your djinn-boosted stats.
