Posted January 21, 2006 Apparently the name is Baten Kaitos II: The Start of the Wings and the Heir of the Gods. They love these long names don't they Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 30, 2006 Looks... interesting. And I'm not going to try and translate the Japanese... although I caught the word "god". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 30, 2006 that trailer, looks ace... I'll order the first Baten kaitos and Tales of Symphonia tomorow, since I can't get my hands on Skies of Arcadia, and I need my RPG fix... Baten Kaitos seems to be getting harder to get on stock (although I still know where they have it) let's hope it lasts till tomorow night (yeah... I'm feeling very unlucky). I'm really hyped about the first Baten Kaitos (more than Symphonia right now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really hyped about the first Baten Kaitos (more than Symphonia right now) Yeah I got Baten Kaitos a few weeks ago and so far it's a really great game. The Sequel made me even more determined to own the first game (and I also felt that I wanted to play it more than Symphonia)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 1, 2006 Main character looks stupid. At least Kalas was sort of cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Sequel made me even more determined to own the first game (and I also felt that I wanted to play it more than Symphonia)! yay, it's coming I already bought it at amazon.co.uk, shame it's predicted to come february 6th to 8th, so no Baiten Kaitos this weekend. The sequel is also looking really good, so what are your thoughts having played the original game, will this one be even better? what could they do to take it for the next level? discuss, discuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2006 is this game annouced for Europe yet. probably not coming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2006 is this game annouced for Europe yet. probably not comingIt will come, in US it'll be published by Nintendo itself, they know their roadmap for Gamecube is poor now, only with Twilight Princess and Baten Kaitos II worth mentioning, thus they will release in europe... Otherwise look at Fire Emblem, it wouldn't get out on US and Europe if the console had more killer apps comming out at that moment in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2006 Box art for it... how gothicy, it's just come out in Japan if there are any Japanese understanding importers lurking. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 13, 2006 it's out in japan, any reviews yet?last time I checked on gamestats... (like 3 hours ago) No, there isn't any reviews... yet My bet (or rather, what I want) is a 32/40 on Famitsu :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 13, 2006 Famitsu is really unreliable. They give almost every RPGs high scores and are suckers for something that's from an anime. Not to mention that there have been many cases of bribes in Japanese media. On topic, I have to get Baten Kaitos before I get this, because prequels are cooler if they're played later :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I don't think IGN are more reliable than that. On the "get the first one" note... I'd really advice you to do it, because it's just so much better than I thought it would... I played like 14 hours from Monday (when it arrived) to Friday, that's so unlike me... (maybe I was just starved for RPG's, but still it's a really refreshing experience) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Some scans for ya. Scan 1 Scan 2 Scan 3 Didn't want to display them as they're pretty big and I don't want to put off 56k users to what is going to be an amazing game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2006 Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean scored; 8 / 8 / 8 / 7 - (31/40) So according to Famitsu, the sequel (prequel) is even better than the original!! and that's a fantastic game!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2006 excellent. i very much liked Baten Kaitos so I can't wait for this. May have to import the US version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2006 That's a very good set of scores; all the defining games of their genre tend to get around 34 in famitsu. However, I hope they aren't simply inflating the scores due to it being an RPG. Mind you, Nihon no RPGs ga dai suki desu! ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 17, 2006 Thanks, WTF is up with the SSBM like background voices, "LEVEL 5!" "You win!!" You just know thats going to get annoying... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 17, 2006 Thanks, WTF is up with the SSBM like background voices, "LEVEL 5!" "You win!!" You just know thats going to get annoying... but the inventory management of cards seems improoved, the time now is pressing agains the player in a pretty readable place, making you fell the rush, and the counts the number of cards you've used, sometimes you can end your sequence before expected because of not knowing how many cards did you use as of yet, that's clearly a help, and a welcome one. also the animation of the characters(at least in battle) seems better to me, or at least... richer (I really liked the butterfly girl ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
