Travel Log

The Travel Log is one of the options introduced in the Main Menu of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

General Description
It is very important to players primarily because it contains the Save option where one can save their game progress. Aside from that, it includes important details about your current save file.

Prior to Dark Dawn, the save screen contained icons of your current party members (but only the members in your active party), the number of djinn that your party has for each element, your main character's level, the play time, and the number of coins you have currently.



In the Dark Dawn save screen, first is the portraits of active party members, or those that appear when engaging a battle. Second is the list of Djinn caught per element. Third, and one of the unique features of the Travel Log is the Objective where the player can remember what to do next.

The Objective Screen
The Objective screen is a unique part of the Travel Log option in Dark Dawn and is useful especially to players who rush into dialogues and missed reading the next thing to do or to those who haven't played in a while and have forgotten where they have stopped. The Objective screen reminds the player of the task needed to proceed further in the game, without literally pointing at what to do next.
