The world of Baten Kaitos is a world adrift in time and space. Humanity forges its existence on an archipelago of land floating in a yawning, endless sky. The earths below and the vast oceans it once harbored are mere legend. It is by no means a tranquil existence. A sinister conspiracy is afoot, one that threatens to tear these few remaining rafts of land from the heavens and erase forever the memory of the seas below. Travelling with the more noble Xhela, they’ll enter the ancient Moonguile Forest and seek out answers to old questions. As they go, they’ll be led by a spirit that guides Kalas to his goal — and his destiny as savior.

The game isn’t as great as one would like it to be (talking about myself of course). With so few RPG games for the CGN, this was a disappointment, but that’s not to say the game wasn’t good. The turn-based card battle system was pretty awesome though. With your menu options, attacks, spells and combos all mixed into one card system. Great. The sound track was nice too. And some of the places in the game were gorgeous. Graphics were really beautiful as well. But the voice acting was horrendous. And the story and plot stunk. All-in-all, the game is just average. As an RPG, I don’t know if someone would like to invest in this much time into it. But get over the hurdles the game throws in your face and you’ll be fine, lol. Like I said, I enjoyed it overall.

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean is the first installment of a new series developed by Namco.The game begins with Kalas, a sapphire-haired young man who ends up in Cebalrai, a rural village in the nation of Sadal Suud. He finds that he was knocked unconscious by Rock Cats in the Moonguile Forest, and was rescued. While exploring the small village, he comes across a young woman named Xelha, who is interested in the ruins of Moonguile Forest. Kalas, being slightly nosey, decides to check out these ruins for himself, thus beginning the epic saga known as Baten Kaitos.As the game progresses, Kalas and Xelha will form a party, intent on defeating the emperor of Alfard, Geldoblame, who wishes to summon an evil god named Malpercio via the End Magnus, strange cards that possess godly powers. On their quest, Kalas and Xelha meet up with Gibari, a fisherman of Diadem; Lyude, an ex-soldier of the empire of Alfard; Savyna, a huntress of unknown origins living in Anuenue; and Mizuti, an enigmatic sorcerer with no known destination.Baten Kaitos, although visually stunning, is faulted in several ways. The voice acting of the game is lacking, so the characters seem dull and boring. In some of the more crucial, plot-twisting areas of the story, the characters may sound uninterested or tired instead of excited, scared, or angry. During one of the more angst-y, memorable scenes of the game, Lyude’s voice sounds crackled and distorted, although he’s supposed to sound angry and sad..
I played origins before this and when i found out there was an other Baten Kaitos out there i jumped on it! love it.
Oh, Baten Kaitos. What a fantastic game you could have been. With a little more care in your design, and a completely different voice cast, you could have been a game of the year. Instead, you’re already fading from memory.GAMEPLAY: GoodPotential buyers should be aware that the gameplay in Baten Kaitos will initially strike them as highly weird. Some aspects of RPG battling will be familiar: battle is turn-based, and your characters line up across a battle area from a group of baddies. At this point, though, things start to go a little strange, as you don’t use mana, or technique points, or even equipment. Instead you play “Magnus Cards” that contain your spells, weapons, armor, and healing items. In a given turn you will “play” these cards from your hand, determine damage, and then “draw” new ones from your deck. You get to play cards any time you attack or defend yourself. By linking these cards together in an order determined by their “Spirit Numbers” you can play several at a time and enhance their effects. Playing certain cards in combination will create new cards entirely. Over time, some cards even change: a bamboo shoot becomes a bamboo spear, then a fishing pole. Bananas go from green, to ripe, to black and spotty. These aging events can change a healing item into an offensive one, and back again.As your characters progress, the battle turn will start to depend more on reflexes, with a timer that limits how long you can wait to choose your first card. The amount of t.
This is one of the greatest rpg I’ve played. It is certainly not perfect, but it has a unique charm that hasn’t really been replicated by other games (aside from the sequel maybe).The graphics are quite stunning for a gamecube game, the music is also excellent. The only real thing that I didn’t like was the voice acting. Let’s be honest: it sucks. However, it never really deters me from having a great time: you get used to it.The story is great, quite original (the setting itself is not something I’m used to see at least), and has a very surprinsing plot twist to boot. The characters are generally likeable, though they are mostly standard archetypes (which isn’t a bad thing in itself).The gameplay takes a little bit of time to get used to: in battle, you use a deck of card to attack in turn-based combat. This is a very interesting mechanic, and a very easy one to learn. The only possible downside gameplay-wise is the difficulty: you generally won’t have much of a challenge here aside from some boss battles.The price at which this is sold these days might be a bit steep for you, but this game is definitely worth checking out if you have the chance.
I bought Baiten Kaitos simply because it looked interesting, and I wanted to try a card-based battle system to see if it was really as great/terrible as people keep saying. I must say that I was really quite impressed with this lovely little gem of a game.Story: Above average. It’s surprisingly coherent for a Japanese game (Final Fantasy players will know what I’m talking about)and the rather cliche and predictable plot is improved by several surprising twists. Playing as a Guardian Spirit rather than the main character is a nifty gimmick, but you’re actually somewhat penalized if you don’t agree with your “ward” all the time. The game is quite a long one, so naturally the story has to be extended over that length, but I never felt like it had outstayed its welcome.Battle System: Not having played any other card-based games (at least none where you weren’t actually playing a game of cards), it’s hard for me to say how unique or innovative the system actually is. It is unusual for those of us who grew up on real-time combat or menu-based systems, but it’s surprisingly easy to get used to. My biggest complaints are that as your character gains levels, you have less time to select your initial card (or “magnus”) in the attack rounds, making it difficult to plan the long combos you need for the tougher bosses; and that you often need inhuman reflexes to pick a defensive magnus before the foe launches his first attack. The fact that damage isn’t totalled until the end of the round.
The graphics in this game are beautiful and quite impressive! Fun to play, it really makes you act quickly with no remorse. This is the kind of game that I believe one will have to play multiple times in order to truly master. You’ll get your money’s worth.
A great game to play even now, as I had never played before. The voice acting is terrible, but I was able to overlook that because the gameplay is quite fun, and the story interesting as well with some good twists and turns. I would definitely recommend checking it out, a Gamecube classic.
