^ Not exactly... The GBC was in between there.

I just saw a YouTube video of Golden Sun the other day. Don't know much about it, but it looks beautiful for a GBA game. I'm considering playing it, though the only RPGs I really enjoy are either Digimon or Shining Force types.

Golden Sun is actually made by the same company that made Shining Force. In fact, Golden Sun's sprites should look very familiar if you have played Shining Force III. That said, Golden Sun is more of a traditional turn based RPG with a very heavy emphasis on environmental puzzles.

Highly recommend you check it out. Just know that Golden Sun and its sequel are really two halves of one game, and should be played as such.

I actually looked it up because I was curious about what other games they made. The PlayStation game Beyond The Beyond seems to be universally panned, but the overworld's graphical style is the same as the Shining Force games, so I find myself intrigued. As shallow as this may seem, I find those dialog boxes much more visually pleasing than the ones in Final Fantasy VI.
