Golden Sun Beta

 

Here we have a page for the Golden Sun beta.
It's definitely... different, isn't it?
Like the whole implication of me being from Vale...
So was Mia gonna be Felix's sister, then?
Uhh...
And there's that one screenshot with me and Jenna. It gets even odder.
Menardi and I look quite different too. Not that it's bad...
Beta or final, Saturos is always smoldering hot.
Thank you, Menardi. And you are also quite the beauty.
Get a room, you two...

 

Okay, the Psynergy looks rubbish. Clearly they still needed to improve the graphics. Oh, and it's Isaac, Garet and Mia in a forest. Bizarre.
Yes/no pictures, drawn by a Camelot employee's five-year-old kid. I think.
Isaac, Garet and Mia in Sol Sanctum fighting bats.
Mia and Jenna must have switched places, because Jenna is now hanging out with Isaac, Garet and Ivan. Oh, and Isaac has Douse, Whirlwind and Cure on Page 2 of his Psynergy list. Usually, curative Psynergies are at the top of the first page.
Mia goes solo! "I don't need men to help me! I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!" (Seriously, what is this? I thought perhaps a summon, but the whole party disappears during a summon. I don't get why Mia is the only one here.) Could this be a Venus summon or some special Venus Psynergy? (I'm guessing by the leaves that it's Venus aligned.)
Mia is standing here in a house in Vale and you can talk to her? She appears to be saying something about "enajii" (energy) They do call Psynergy Energy in the Japanese version (And Adepts are Energists, but that's not important.)

It looks like young Isaac, but I'm not sure. Vale looks... bright. Just where is that? I don't remember an area with all those trees. And is that a crate of fruit at the right there?

 

Venus Djinni: I ATE Ivan! Bloargh!

... Uh, Ivan's not there again, and the battle selection icons are obviously different. More crappy graphics, yay...

 

Isaac got a Venus Djinni! ... in Sol Sanctum. Which makes no sense, the Djinn weren't released until Mt. Aleph erupted.

At least, I thought it was getting the Djinni, but upon translating the text, I discovered it simply says that Isaac put the Venus Djinni on set. That doesn't usually prompt a dialogue box, and new Djinn don't set themselves... and also, it doesn't even say the Djinni's name...

It's Menardi and Saturos!

Ok, this picture's odd. Isaac looks 17, the dock's not destroyed so the boulder hasn't fallen, but nobody's on the dock and Felix isn't even in the river!

 

Isaac: Who are you people and what have you done with my dad and Jenna and Felix's parents?

 

Mia in Vale, calling out to Garet.
Mia watching Isaac fix the roof. I swear Dora's face portrait seems slightly different, but that could just be picture quality.
Beta Saturos! Mia again...
Kraden: Who's that girl? Where's Jenna?
Hmm, the "yes" face seems to be nodding. Animated yes/no faces, huh? Guess they scrapped that.

Another shot of Isaac, Garet and Mia in Vale.

 

Something interesting here... the names in the party say "Robin" (Isaac), "Gerald" (Garet) and "Nina" ... huh, who's Nina? Mia's Japanese name is Mary. I guess maybe Nina was a beta name for "Mary"?

 

It's the strange people on the dock again. Difference is, Mia and Dora are here this time. Mia is calling out for her older brother.
Interesting picture. I don't remember any villages located so close to the sea.
Isaac in Altin... what's interesting here is that the video showed him walking into Altin, and then as he went past that man, the man turned around and spoke to him without him initiating a conversation beforehand. Doesn't happen in the final version.

The menu icons are different.
