I'll be the first one to admit it, Golden Sun seems like it's pretty much tapped for feats, statements, and lore. With the franchise being in purgatory and almost every little thing being ripped from these games to make complete profiles, I think we're just about done with the Adepts, ratings-wise.
But I wanted to talk about one last thing before I think we can pretty much close the book on this franchise and leave their ratings to rest: "How powerful IS the Golden Sun, and can we use that for one last update?"
Firstly, our own page on it cites that it allegedly gives 'All the Power in the Universe', however I don't know what that actually would be, if it can be quantified at all. I've seen people try to use these kinds of statements before for universal power, but they're shot down that a universe has less energy than 'Universe level'. Do we have a general rule for those types of statements? And would it be usable here?
Secondly, we have this exchange between Alex and the Wise One.
Wise One: "You wish to have limitless power?"
Alex: "Wish to? I just got it!"
Wise One: "No, your power is nearly limitless, but it has boundaries."
(If you continue watching, you also get a great scene of The Wise One one-shotting Alex and then mocking him and leaving him for dead which is SUPER cathartic, implies a great amount of power for The Wise One, but doesn't mean much for the rest of this)
Alex probably isn't a reliable source, but the Wise One is a lot more reliable when it comes to the power of Alchemy. He acts like a God to the people and is a direct guardian of the power of Alchemy and the Golden Sun, and is powerful and knowledgeable enough to even manipulate it to set a trap for Alex, with implications that the Golden Sun is limitless and Alex having all of it is something he can't deal with, thus he needed to pull the trap in the first place.
So my question is, is this enough evidence that the Golden Sun in all it's power is High 3-A? If so, what does this mean for having factions of it? Is it even possible to get a number or ballpark for how powerful it would be to have 3/4ths of it like Alex does or the 1/4th the Warriors Of Vale have?
The series is pretty tapped, but the Golden Sun is the source of the last few Unknowns in the verse. Can we fix that? Or is there just not enough and we're forced to close the book on this franchise until we POSSIBLY get a new installment? It's one of my favorite verses and I'd like to see if it can't be totally cleaned up and put a ribbon on it.
