Product Description
Baten Kaitos is a world where islands float in the air and mass are tale from the past. A world already on the edge is about to fall into chaos, when a young man named Kalas goes after revenge. Travelling with the more noble Xhela, they’ll penetrate the ancient Moonguile Forest and seek out answers to ancient questions. As they go, they’ll be led by a spirit that guides Kalas to his goal — and his fate as savior. Use Magnus Cards wisely — foods will ripen or rot, items will rust and gain or lose regard

I want to start this review out with a unadorned, heartfelt lament in the line of Menelaeus (But slightly modernized): Oh Gack! Oh agony! Oh frantic card-flipping, endless-babbling GAME OF DOOM! Would that I were instead speared with a thousand horned-toads and cast upon an ocean of maltodextrin than EVER, EVER have to see this horrible game again!
That is to say – this game was not fun. Not even remotely fun. It nearly made me quit playing RPGs – and I’ve played them for 18 years now.
How did they write the plot for this game? I reflect they took a bunch of Japanese teenagers and locked them in a room with an English-only script for Final Fantasy VIII (Not the excellent one, mind you!). I could see the Japanese doing that – they could place it on box as some kind of reality-embarrassment event. After the first week without food, they start hallucinating about flying ballerinas worshipping space whales. There are copious senseless fetch quests, alot of obnoxious, still-life pontificating, and altogether too much card-flipping (Tip: When the enemy dude has only THREE cards that he plays OVER AND OVER AGAIN, and you have to manage a deck of 40, with NO DISCARD, it’s not exactly built for a uplifting experience). And, when you beat the game, you are rewarded with nearly a HALF HOUR of small, tiny stick-figures of people talking and talking – FOR HALF AN HOUR. I reflect at that point the developers and writers were all just too tired and drunk to have the heart to end the game off. So they sort of panned out and let it run for awhile while they slept it off.
I have played RPGs since before alot of the people that wrote reviews for this game were born. I have place up with alot of terrible sports meeting – but this was honestly the most senseless dissipate of time I have experienced in a long time (And I’m including the Harry Potter movie in that list).
To me, the only plus was the voice-acting, because, frankly, I needed something to laugh about after spending 30 minutes traipsing around linear quests to reach another senseless cut-scene. I turned off the voices early because I ‘didn’t want to spoil the experience’ – but you know, I soon realized that the only hope for this game was as a sort of B-movie. So I turned them back on – and you know, they did help. Maybe the people that do those Harry Potter movies could take a cue from this?

The Gamecube has had a honest lack of RPG’s. Even the ones that are RPG’s don’t even get recognizable. FF: Crystal Chronicles is a really fun game but having multiplayer being the best option it’s a rather tedious way to play. Tales of Symphonia is ok but the battles do get irritating. And that voice acting, ugh. Paper Mario 2 is one of the better ones. With Baten Kaitos, it’s one of those that just comes up small of being awesome. Really small.
Tale: You are in fact a guardian spirit but you control Kalas, who is interested in figuring out who killed his member of the clergy and brother. He gets caught up in reduction the world from a monster who wants to awaken another monster and rule the world. Standard RPG fare no?
Graphics: Absolutely.Stunning. Seriously, this is the best looking game since Crystal Chronicles or the Metroid sports meeting. The sports meeting are just so plain and colorful that even inane looking places still look detailed.
Sound/Music: There’s gonna be a pattern here. Tale terrible, graphics excellent so this area is terrible. The music is splendid with the Pherkad music being stunning. But the voice acting is just horrible. Flat, wooden delivery and overacted at the same time too.
Gameplay: This isn’t the excellent category but it’s not terrible. Basically your battle system is a card system, like Yu-Gi-Oh! or Phantasy Star Card Revolution. Every turn you have the option to pick an attack, defense or magic and other cards for your turns. Probably is they’re random so you can get stuck looking for something really quickly. Also be prepared for a LOT of leveling up has enemies can come out of nowhere and demolish you.
If you’re curious about the game, give it a rent but I really recommend try to see if you’re into it.

The tale is splendid!! Very original, and it has it’s surprises!! You will be surprised! The system battle, original! It’s a card system battle, which you use cards to fight for example you choose an axe as a card you see your character fight with the axe. ALthough It doesn’t have like full motion videos, just one, and it’s the intro… but it’s kinda fun you should buy it!
