    Still making my way through GS on GBA..also, have the 2nd one as well. I'm really ready to play the new installment. Seeing and hearing good things. Is it important to the story to have played the 1st two in order to enjoy the latest installment?

    I wouldn't know if it important story wise(I am getting a legit version for xmas), but I would still play the first 2 just because they are awesome and it is an amazing story

    I played the first version 5 times. That's how good it was (then again, it was my first RPG ever...). Dark Dawn does not require you to have played the others. There might be a bit of spoilers, but nothing too big. I never played GS2 but I finished Dark Dawn. I have to say it felt good to play GS again :D

    In reality, the beginning of the game alone gives huge spoilers relative to how the journey evolves through the two games.

    I only played GS2, and I pretty much knew everything that happened. GS2 tells you about GS1, so yeah, it's enough.
    Go enjoy the new one...Or something. ;3

    No need in the new one just read Sun Saga books in the game and it recaps the story for the first 2

    If you actually have the first two games though, it's better to play them. It isn't like they're bad games. They're incredible and should be played.

    Dunno about that, I hated GS2 D:


    Oh and if you are playing GS1, remenber two things
    - Beat the first game 100% to transfer all the good stuff for GS2
    - Play it on a emulator, even if you have the original. Speeding up th emulator when you are using the boat will save your sanity.

    Well, I played the first one and so knew a bit about the universe when going in, but I never got around to playing the second. I'm not having any problems storywise with Dark Dawn at the moment, the game is pretty explanatory and drums into your head at least four times the events of the first two games.

    I'd say you're fine.
