Fuckin Golden Sun was super legit. I even loaded up an emulator and replayed just a few years ago. It holds up perfectly well.

If you'd be interested in a kind of spiritual successor, try CrossCode. Not exactly the same, the combat is very different, but the general exploration reminds me of Golden Sun a lot.

All hail Retroarch, All hail mobile emulation!

As if I wasn't making myself feel old enough man you had to mention Ultima...

[–] Durandal@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I mentioned this in another comment as well.. but...

Ultima IV is free on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/ultima_4

Also have you seen MoonRing? It's a very recently released game, very Ultima inspired game from one of the original devs on Fable.
