Those of you who have known me for a while are aware that I have in-depth, extremely vivid dreams. It should come as no surprise, then, that I've already experienced one nocturnal hallucination regarding Dark Dawn - one that revolved around a plot McGuffin called the "Adderall Ring". I dreamed that I was flying a small private jet down to Florida when I passed through the Bermuda Triangle and ended up landing on a remote island. I could see Gaia Falls nearby and quite logically realized that I'd been transported to Weyard. The superstitious natives, seeing that I'd come from the sky, decided that I was the "chosen one" to whom they were destined to give a treasure map. It seemed to be written in crayon, but it showed the location of a great treasure called the "Adderall Ring" which prophecy indicated gave the wearer not only +60 defense but also a dramatically improved ability to focus on one's studies during exam season. The only problem was that I wasn't an Adept, and the locals wanted proof of my powers before they'd give me the map. Fortunately, I was carrying my handgun, and demonstrated it on a random encounter: "You know how a lot of Adepts have Psynergy-granting items like the Slap Glove or whatever? Well, this is the Large Messy Hole... Generator... Thing." They were fooled and gave me the map. So I flew my plane to the island shown on the map, only to see the Dark Dawn party's ship already docked at the beach. I was about to panic until I realized that this was an RPG, after all, and that my rivals would just chill at the location of the plot McGuffin until I showed up. So I took my time and found a Mars Djinni on the island - it was reluctant to follow me because I wasn't an Adept, but after I shot it a few times, its reluctance faded. Surprisingly, there were five more on the way to the cave marked on my map. Though I convinced all of them to accompany me, I soon regretted it, because they spent the trip talking about their radical increase in population and how the Golden Sun had activated their mating cycle, which usually happened only once per thousand years. Anyway, once inside the cave, I quickly met up with the Dark Dawn party, who were just finishing digging the Adderall Ring out from a treasure chest. Unfortunately, I was so sweaty and my clothes so torn from climbing all over the damn island that they assumed I was a random encounter and decided to kill me. I used my six Djinn to tap into US military hardware and launch an ICBM through the Bermuda Triangle, striking the party for several thousand damage and winning the fight... or so I thought. Unfortunately, Himi had been protected by that totally broken Haze Djinni, she closed to melee range, and it was now a one-on-one katana fight. She told me that the spirits had informed her that her people needed the ring to speed up their development of electronics and eventually videogames. Since I am completely incompetent with a sword, I decided to try a desperate trick - I'd use Monkey Island's insult swordfighting style. I hit all the usual female insecurities, and before either of us had even landed a single blow, she collapsed to the ground crying about her "fat ass" and threatening to commit seppuku. Though she'd been trying to kill me, I couldn't just let an Asian chick disembowel herself, so I stole one of Tyrell's crayons (kept in a crayon-labeled "SNACK POKET" on his armor) and drew an obviously fake map leading to an artifact that would allow Psynergetic plastic surgery. And so, after pocketing the ring and reviving the party with some energy drinks I had on the plane, we loaded my plane onto the ship and set off to follow the map to this new artifact. I alternated my time between attempting to seduce Himi and Karis and rigging the plane's engine to run on Djinn so I could make it back to Earth - I had to accomplish both before the Adepts realized I'd duped them. Sadly, I never got to see the dream's conclusion, because the ship hit a rock and sank - the dreamworld version of my cat jumping onto my back and meowing loudly for her breakfast. Still, despite my negative review, dreaming about Dark Dawn means I'm back in the Golden Sun spirit. Have any of you dreamed about Dark Dawn? |

Yes, I've dreamed about playing it many times over the last month. ;_; |

I've been dreaming about Dark Dawn ever since it was first announced as Golden Sun DS. |
