A downloadable mod

Golden Sun 1 with Jenna inserted into Garret's place includes Jenna's stats, class and Psynergy from Lost Age. Will (eventually) have two different patches, a "Modern" version and a "Classic" verison.

Features Included In Both Versions...

- Jenna takes Garet's place in the game and vice versa.  

- This means she will be in your party for the entire game, with her stats and abilities from Lost Age included.

- To make up for the lack of Garet, Guard and Protect are now water Psynergy that Mia learns in her default class line.

- Guard is learned at level 3, Protect is learned at level 15, she needs to have at least 4 Mercury Djinn to have access to these.

Extra Features in Modern Version

The Modern version has features to improve overworld traveling, and other quality of life features that I first implemented in Dawn of Djinn.  Including...

- Skipping the prologue, as well as Flint's tutorial.

- Being able to use Retreat as fast travel on the world map (as well as warping to the entrance of towns)

- Avoid not only being available from the start, but it now behaves as a literal on/off toggle, rather than how it behaves in vanilla.

- Scared Feathers now takes on an effect similar to the Djinni Quartz (60% chance to revive ally to half health)

- Quartz's ability now acts as a 80 HP heal that is guaranteed to revive if the ally is down.

- The adept ring got a buff, now recovering 15 PP to the target

- All Psynergy that is strictly utility costs 0 PP.

- A fire Psynergy version to Growth, "Sunshine", is available on Jenna, regardless of her class.

- Ivan gains a new Psynergy, Gust, regardless of his class. It is an utility exclusive Psynergy that functions like Whirlwind.

- Mia gains a new Psynergy, "Holy Ply". Outside of battle it lets you solve the puzzles of the Mercury Lighthouse. In battle, it heals a small amount PP to an ally. Mia will have access to this Psynergy, regardless of class.

- Ply from the original game is now referred to as "Healing Ply".

- Frost and Douse are battle exclusive Psynergy with "Chill" and "Rain" acting as their utility equivalent.

- Douse Drop and Frost Gem now bestow Rain and Chill respectfully when equipped.

- Chill and Rain also appear in more classes than Frost and Douse normally would

- The Shaman's Rod also bestows Rain when equipped, instead of being a weapon. So that it's at least doing something as it takes up an inventory slot for the rest of the game.

- You no longer have to worry about Psynergy items taking up your inventory, as they can be sold and rebought as you please.

- Djinn no longer can runaway from you in battle.

Noticable Issues and Other Disclaimers...

- Implementing fast travel in the Modern version does come at the cost of Bilbin Barricade no longer existing in the game normally. This is because the code that I use to implement this feature uses that location's map marker for Crossbone Isles to allow fast travel to that dungeon once you've reached it once.

- In the Modern version, do not leave Avoid on before saving and quitting the game as there is a bug with the ability that causes the toggle not to work properly if you do.  If you do run into the bug, transition between areas (such as the overworld and a town) while toggling the ability until it starts functioning again.

- Various items and Psynergy have been removed in order to fit Jenna's new moves and the new utility Psynergy. These are either items/Psynergy that only exist in the game's code and never actually used, or Psynergy you would normally not get access to post-Lv. 30. Neither of these should be a major issue since getting past level 30 in the first game is normally not possible without excessive grinding.

- In addition, the Fire Psynergy line has been replaced with the Beam Psynergy line.

- Certain enemies have their movepools slightly altered to make up for the lack of certain Psynergy.
