[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn|30 years later...]]
* [[Assist Character]] / [[A Taste of Power]]: He and Garet provide backup for his son and Karis in the game's first tutorial dungeon and even hand the two a few of their Djinn.
Line 52:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Time has been kind to him.

'''Garet'''
 
Line 92:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Not too happy with Isaac's behavior in the tutorial dungeons, although he has enough trust in Isaac's judgment that he doesn't resist too much.

----
[[File:GSPiers_8883GSPiers 8883.jpg|frame]]
'''Piers'''
 
Line 250:
* [[Irony]]: The first half of ''The Lost Age'' is getting Briggs the pirate to prove that law-abiding Piers isn't his accomplice. In ''Dark Dawn'', it's mentioned that they've since become best friends.
* [[Jack of All Trades]]: He can heal, cast magic and even has a decent physical attack skill.
* {{spoiler|[[May-DecemberMay–December Romance]]: According to Kraden in ''Dark Dawn'', Mia's daughter Nowell has a crush on Piers, and this is why she bailed on Kraden and Rief. No comment on whether her affections are reciprocated, though.}}
* [[Play-Along Prisoner]]: His intro scene in Madra.
* [[Privateer]]: Although [[In Name Only|it's just his class title]].
Line 260:

[[File:188px-GSDDMatthew_6834GSDDMatthew 6834.jpg|frame]]
'''Matthew'''
 
Line 491:
** Played with when Briggs identifies him on sight... because of how strongly he resembles ''Jenna''. To be fair, Briggs never met Isaac.
----
[[File:234px-GSDDKaris_4582GSDDKaris 4582.jpg|frame]]
'''Karis'''
 
Line 515:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Green.
----
[[File:216px-GSDDTerrell_8249GSDDTerrell 8249.jpg|frame]]
'''Tyrell'''
 
Line 549:
** Although his hair is much redder than Garet's - besides his sprite in the original duology, Garet's hair was actually brown. Tyrell's at least gained the ability to mimic daddy's gravity-defying hair-style ... sort of.

'''Rief'''
 
Line 580:
* [[Smart People Wear Glasses]] [[Specs of Awesome|Of Awesome]]
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Not as drastic as Matthew or Tyrell, but his similarities to Mia had some peg their relationship immediately after his reveal.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: It runs in the family -- hisfamily—his mother, [[Hidden Agenda Villain|mother's cousin]], and sister have blue hair as well. {{spoiler|So does his second cousin once removed, Amiti.}}
* [[Youngest Child Wins]]: His older sister Nowell is basically [[Put on a Bus]] after she is introduced, while Rief becomes a member of your party.
** It's been [[Wild Mass Guessing|suggested]] that Nowell could be a future player character in the [[Sequel Hook|implied sequel]].
----

'''Amiti'''
 
Line 627:
** [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: It's a light enough shade of blue for him to fall into this.
----
[[File:Stella_8518Stella 8518.png|frame]]
'''Sveta'''
 
Line 674:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: With lavender undertones.
----
[[File:194px-GSEoleo_2949GSEoleo 2949.jpg|frame]]
'''Eoleo'''
 
Line 708:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: His ponytail as an adult.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Even before he joins your party, everyone who played ''The Lost Age'' knows why the Champa are pirates-- theypirates—they have no resources of their own, and the people are starving. Indications in TLA suggest that royalty in Champa is a recent development, and that Briggs's family are the country's leaders ''because'' they actually did something for their people, even if it was robbery. So it's definitely justified here.
* {{spoiler|[[Skyward Scream]]: After his father dies in his arms.}}
* [[Sleeves Are for Wimps]]
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Not visual or physical, but between the [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]], [[Badass|badasserybadass]]ery, [[Intergenerational Friendship|Intergenerational Friendships]]s with heroes, [[Strange Minds Think Alike|strange mental tangents]], and [[Playing with Fire|elemental affinity]], he's got rather a lot in common with Obaba.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Nobody seems to care that the "Scourge of the Eastern Sea" is cruising around with an old guy and a bunch of teenagers. In some areas, it's justified by [[It Got Worse|bigger concerns]], but places like Tonfon and Yamatai [[Story and Gameplay Segregation|don't quite have that excuse]].
* [[With This Herring]]: He joins the party with a Cotton Shirt and the cheapest possible axe. Given that he is from a dirt-poor nation and was in prison for the last several days (weeks?), this is justified, albeit a little [[Incredibly Lame Pun|disarming]] under the circumstances.
* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]: As noted above, he swears vengeance upon those who were responsible for Briggs's death.}}

'''Arcanus'''{{spoiler|/'''Alex'''}}
 
Line 834:
* [[Mask Power]]: It only covers part of his face and one eye, though.
** {{spoiler|Compare with the Luna Mask. [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Any questions?]] }}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: [[Wild Card|Ace]], the highest card in the deck. In English, "Arcanus" references the group of Tarot cards called the Arcana, with the exact explanation depending on the translation: the US uses the same "high card" analogy,<ref>Kraden refers to the "Most important card'''s'''", so perhaps the ''Major'' Arcana?</ref>, while the UK version takes it to imply him "holding all the cards" since it refers to the name of ''the entire deck''.
* {{spoiler|[[Older Than They Look]]}}: He doesn't seem to have {{spoiler|changed a bit since his last appearance in TLA.}}
** {{spoiler|Which makes sense considering that the Golden Sun affected the original eight party member's life spans, drastically slowing their rate of aging. Alex absorbed ''quite'' a bit of the Golden Sun's power.}}
