So, I don't have the game yet. However, some details of Dark Dawn: namely, Kraden's mere existence 30 years later, and Alex's extreme youthfulness, have led me to believe this: The Golden Sun Event is the reason. Alex was said to have gotten near eternal life, as well as near limitless power, because the Wise One transferred some of the Golden Sun to the Mars Star and Isaac. I always took that to mean that after the GS rose, the Elemental Stars chose masters, and the Mars Star went to Isaac, who carried the Mars Stars with a portion of the Golden Sun in it. But now, I see a very different picture: The heroes who stood at the top of Mars Lighthouse when it was lit were bathed in a small portion of the Golden Sun, that had been transferred to the Mars Beacon (remember the light glowed golden and black for a moment, before finalising at Red?): enough to revive their parents back from the dead, enough for Garet to feel like his hand was being grabbed, enough to slow down the aging process for various members. Isaac looks like he should be 30, at most. Japanese depictions of men around 50 are almost ALWAYS grey-haired, and wrinkled. Yet, Isaac is 47, but looks quite youthful. Kraden should not have been able to live 30 more years, when he doubted he would even be able to make the journey north again to visit Prox, something that might occur in the next year or two. But the Golden Sun affected him too, and extended his lifespan. |
