1UP pays homage to one of the greatest RPGs ever:
Part of the secret was in the presentation. Whereas many other handheld RPGs featured a static background for its battles, Golden Sun featured a smoothly rotating camera that quickly leapt from protagonist to antagonist. When selecting a command, the viewpoint was similar to Phantasy Star II, but when going on the attack the camera jumped to a view more reminiscent of Final Fantasy IX. Compared to that last though, Golden Sun’s battles were brisk and animated well. Using sprites rather than hardware-taxing 3D models might have had something to do with it.
