Talk:Alex

Not evil?
Hrmm... This just occured to me, though it probably occured to others long ago: Right when it's apparent to the Wise One that the Mars Lighthouse is going to be lit, he starts warning everyone away from Mt.Aleph and the Lighthouses, so everyone has long evacuated Vale right when the Golden Sun forms and bathes Mt.Aleph's peak. Meaning that when Alex tries to summon a storm on Vale right afterwards, it's just a bunch of empty houses. Now, we don't know if Alex was aware of the status of the town at this time, but if he could see that the town was empty and nobody was going to be physically harmed by his storm, that would be strong indication that he's not the embodiment of evil that everyone believes. He was just excited with his power, that's all. Heh. Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 17:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, because causing willful, wanton destruction of an entire village which holds the entirety of some people's lives, their treasures, their livelihoods, their histories, is not at all evil. Oh, that wacky Alex! Dracobolt 14:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * On Wikipedia itself Kyarorain disagreed that Alex should count as an antagonist because he never actually fights either Felix's party or Isaac's, and that he heals you in Jupiter Lighthouse and prevents physically harmful stuff going on between Felix's party and Karst and Agatio. Sure, this was two years ago, but still it's kinda funny in this case. :P Erik Jensen (Appreciate me here!) 23:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Japanese name
Um... Arekusu is kind of how Alex is spelled in Katakana, so his name is Alex in the Japanese version... the r becomes 'l' and the us are omitted so that 'kusu' becomes the 'x' sound... so it's kind of awkward to claim his Japanese name is Arekusu. It would be like saying Sonic is called Sonikku and Link is called Rinku in Japanese... Kyarorain 10:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, I don't know these things! I was just adding that based off of this. I make mistakes too. I'm only human! Don't look at me like that! (grabs a paper sack and cuts out eye holes) The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 15:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Alex's "weapon"


What makes you so sure those are nunchucks? Personally, I can't tell what they are, but they don't quite look like. One of the things seems longer than the other, and it has something else sticking out of it. Personally, they always looked more like containers to me (what Alex might be carrying in them, or what could even be held in them in the first place, is another question entirely). Now, I know there's a good chance I'm wrong this time, but I'm just not convinced, and if I'm right then I want to address this "weapon" issue sooner rather than later.

 * I had brought it up on the Temple of Kraden, and some believed it's merely a couple canisters Alex keeps on his belt. Frankly, it being just as possibly a container as it is nunchaku, along with the fact that whatever it is plays no role at all in Golden Sun games, leads me to think it's a trivial detail that does NOT deserve to be dissected.

 * To me, one looks like a container but the other one could just as easily be a sheath.--Tzion 05:36, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Two Warps
Alex uses two different animations when warping. Could these actually be different abilities.--Tzion 05:38, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

a "small" error
on alex page its say that only mia and alex can open the seal lighthouse but that is not true since the two kids from imil are desedants from the mercury clan some more proof that they are mercury adepts is the end schene where they are talking to you is it ok if i change this small error in his page? --Brandonallison 17:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I can understand why you'd believe that, but the way they call themselves "members of the Mercury Clan" and are the "students" of Mia suggests that it's not necessarily in their blood and that they are more like normal kids Mia has been attempting to train. While they have the abilities of a Great Healer, you don't see them having possession of the Mercury Clan power of Ply, which is exactly what is needed to enter Mercury Lighthouse's interior; therefore, Mia and Alex are the only two people near Mercury Lighthouse that are outright known to have the capacity to enter it (notice I said "near Mercury Lighthouse", which is important; Piers can use Ply, so he could probably enter it on his own as well, but he's irrelevant at this point in the story). Notice when you first meet Mia and the Mercury Lighthouse briefly glows outside, she starts to say "Only I can enter Mercury Lighthouse" before realizing it must therefore be Alex entering it; this by itself seems to rule out that the two kids have the capacity to enter Mercury Lighthouse on their own at all. Lastly, when Justin and Megan are at the base of Mercury Lighthouse at the end of TLA (they're standing right outside the entrance, meaning they didn't enter Mercury Lighthouse's interior), their capacity to commune with the Adepts at Mars Lighthouse appears to be a temporary effect granted by the Wise One, who apparently gave the same effect to Jupiter Lighthouse for Hama to use to communicate with the Adepts.
