So I was trying to introduce a friend to Golden Sun the other day, then realized: I sometimes have a negative explain skill, so people get more confused, rather than less. :...:

How would you summarize Golden Sun without spoilers in a way that would get people who've never heard of it (but maybe would be interested in the concepts) interested in playing and/or giving up and spoiling themselves for setting's sake?

I know what you mean, I tend to focus on uninteresting details and ramble. I don't seem to be able to communicate the main selling points very well. But for the sake of the exercises, I'll have a go (besides it's easier over text when you have time to think about it).

Golden Sun is a JRPG with a big beautiful world to explore, the a wide variety of locations and cultures. It focuses quite a bit on puzzles, and the use of 'psynergy', which is the game's version of magic, to solve overworld problems as well as to fight in battles. In terms of story it isn't morally black and white. In all its a cute and lovingly crafted game.

*shrug* that's the best I can do.

I'd say it's a story that you get to play out, where you have the power to interact with the world around you. :)
