Without the transfer, players just get the standard Isaac attributes. Isaac, the lead character from the original game, will eventually return in The Lost Age.and players who have finished the original adventure can get the upper-hand with his original Golden Sun attributes. Though players can play the game by itself, Golden Sun: The Lost Age rewards players who have completed the original adventure by giving them the ability to move Golden Sun data into this sequel, either via two GBA systems and link cable, or an outrageously long password.

Like the original Golden Sun, the entire storyline of Golden Sun: The Lost Age unfolds as players work their way to the individual towns, temples, and hidden underground locations, and to even offer a brief synopsis of what's going down in The Lost Age would not only take up a few pages of text, it would also ruin a lot of the surprises in store for players. The adventure takes off on its own after the island (seen at the end of Golden Sun carries them off and slams them into another part of the continent. Players assume the role of another adept (magic-weilder), Felix, set off to complete the mission started in the original game. In Golden Sun: The Lost Age, the story picks up at the end of Golden Sun, almost overlapping the tail end of the original's storyline. And while the prologue at the beginning of the game does a good job of summing up the entire backstory of Golden Sun, it really is just a Cliff's Notes version of the plot.and as wordy as it is, it just can't make the storyline any clearer than playing the original game and finding out everything first-hand. While it's not necessary to have played through the original game, it's certainly encouraged and those expecting to get a much better RPG by leaping over the first game and diving right into Golden Sun: The Lost Age would be simply depriving themselves of a still great adventure.
