Here's the information known about Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age.
Source: Golden Sun Anonymous Affiliate, Golden Sun Online. This information can't be 100% confirmed, but I have confidence it's accurate. Also, GameFAQ's game data helped in this too.
•It's due out in Japan ~ June 30th, 2002
•It will hit the United States around Christmas
•The game's introduction starts in Jenna and Felix's childhood.
•It will then skip ahead to one year past the first Game.
•The game will star the four main characters.
•Jenna and Felix will be playable only in the introduction of the game probably.
•There may be additional characters to play as.
•There will be a bank system to store items/money.
•There will be new Djinn, 35 in total with 3 new Djinn classes.
•Djinn may aid in transportation.
•The game will probably have some sort of file transfer from the first game to the second that's optional and will unlock a few extra things.
•Although... ldsrcool from the GameFAQ's.com message board mentions that the Gameboy Advance has a suitable amount of Flash Memory that can be used to save your game onto. Then, it's possible to put your game into Sleep Mode, remove a cartridge and load the same cartridge back in without affecting it. If Golden Sun 2 is programmed correctly, you may be able to put your Golden Sun 1 game into sleep mode, take out the cartridge and put Golden Sun 2 into your Game Boy Advance. The game will then load the save file loaded into the Flash Memory of the Game Boy Advance and read your save file from the previous game. So, it is possible for Camelot to make it only take one GBA to transfer your save from one GBA to another, but I doubt it. I suspect that it will use the link cable in order to sell more Game Boy Advances and link cables.

10) Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ - part 1

Q) Where are all the Djinn?
A) I'll answer that in a future version of this FAQ!

Q) Can I get back to Vale later in the game?
A) Yes, look at the section Vale...again and a few of the sections before it.

A) Try http://comicsoft.hypermart.net/gsa/quicktips.html for some quick tips on those areas.

Q) I have a question not answered here. How can I ask one?
A) E-mail me at [email protected]

Q) How do you get those nuts in the trees?
A) Thanks to [email protected] for this information: Use the Catch Psynergy on the trees that contain nuts in order to get them. Nuts are quite helpful in the early part of the game.

Q) Who is Robin?
A) The default Japanese name for the main character.

Q) How do I Mind Read the monk? Whenever I go up to him and want to bring up my menu I just talk to him.
A) Press Select or set Mind Read as a hot key button.

Q) Where do I get the Cloakball?
A) It's on Babi's Desk next to his bed. You can get this after you talk to him after winning Collosso.

Q) What things do I need before entering Crossbone Island?
A) You need the Cloakball, the Halt Gem (not required), and the Carry Psynergy.

Q) What level do your characters learn their last spells?
A) Somewhere around 54 if you're at the right classes. Look for an in-depth FAQ on Class Changes for more information.

Q) How do I get the pink tornado that goes to Crossbone Island back if I accidently use Douse on it?
A) You have to head out of Suhulla, and when you re-enter it will be back.

Q) Is there any advantage to going to Crossbone Island from the ship to Tolbi Docks?
A) No, you can't go very far in there without Cloak, Carry and Halt.

Q) I heard this code that if you tap the R button 3 times then the B button 7 times finally the A button 5 times and you'll hear a click and all of your charaters have infine PP. Where do I do this?
A) This code is BS and doens't work. However, there are a few Game Shark codes avalible at http://www.gameshark.com/gameboyadvance/objects/379896_106.html
that can give you infinite PP, although the game is less fun to play when you cheat.

Q) What is the correct way to pronounce "Djinn"?
A) Well, Djinn is from, I believe, Arabic and it means Genie. So, the singular form of Djinn (Djinni) is Genie, leading me to believe Djinn is pronounced like the alcoholic drink "Gin." Here's some updated information from Taz 2012 on the dictionary defintion:
jin·ni or jin·nee also djin·ni or djin·ny (http://www.atomica.com/lookup2/pronkey.html) n., pl. jinn also djinn (jin http://www.atomica.com/lookup2/pronkey.html). In Muslim legend, a spirit often capable of assuming human or animal form and exercising supernatural influence over people. [Arabic jinn?, demonic, demon, from jinn, demons, from janna, to cover, conceal.]

Q) Can you give me the Rom of Golden Sun?
A) No, I do not support roms and/or emulation. Go pay for the game you lousy cheapskate.

Q) How do I get Growth?
A) Equip 1 Fire Djinni on Issac or 1 Earth Djinni on Garret to have the spell growth (see the Leveling and Characet Classes Section)

Q) I missed Force! What do I do?
A) You don't actually need force to accomplish anything in the game. However, you do need to enter the cave in Fuschin Temple in order to get the Djinni Zephyr, and without Force you don't get the Xian sidestory. However, if you don't have force you can still go through Mogall Forrest, and Garret will kick the log in Altimer Mines instead of you using Force on the tree stump. Anyways, if you missed Force, keep going to Kalay, then head north across the bridge to reach Vault again. Retrace your steps to Fuschin Temple, and see the Walkthrough about getting Force.

Q) Is it true that no one really asks these questions, but you like to make it appear as if people talk to you?
A) Quiet you... plus, this question was actually asked. Give Kevin Mofo and e-mail at [email protected] for further information.

Q) What is the best way to contact you?
A) I prefer e-mail via [email protected]. I dislike pepole instant messaging me, but I usually will ask questions via AIM if you're direct, to the point, don't talk in big type, don't have a colored background on your text, don't talk in all caps, use reasonably good grammar and don't do a lot of chit chat. I will also not go to chat rooms for help. Instant Message me at screenname: ikillkenny. Also, posting a question on the Golden Sun boards at www.gamefaqs.com is a good way for me or someone else to get an answer to your question.

Q) What exactly does the Mystery Blade do?
A) I don't recomend using the Mystery Blade because it's not very powerful. Occasionaly Mystery Blade will let out Life Nourish which has a chance of restoring a little bit of health to the character that its equipped on.
