I see a lot of people throwing hissy fits over the fact that Golden Sun DS is going to star the children of the original cast. While I don't begrudge them their opinion, I've seen little in the way of actual intelligent justification for this belief.

Every argument so far seems to consist of "Making a game about their children is just an excuse to continue the franchise and make more money" or "Series like Final Fantasy that change main characters in between games are stupid." Really, people? This game has been planned from the beginning, they didn't just decide to revive the franchise for fun and profit. The first two games, in fact, were originally supposed to be one, in which you would change characters halfway through. The difference between this and Final Fantasy is that there's still continuity between every game here. The characters may not be the same, but they're still related to the prior heroes. They're still part of the same world.

Anyway, just my thoughts. Now, GS fans, whether you agree with me or not, I'd like to hear your thoughts so far. Shoot.
