Zelda_Rulez Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah those small sidequests where cool but I found them not really sidequests. I can't explain it well but I got the feeling they just belonged to the story because they were a bit forced onto you. I also hope there will be a lot of extra dungeons in the sequel. Like the book dungeon in TOS (Although I've never done it myself it did sound cool). Or a boss that's really strong like Abyssion in TOS. It would be great if they put that in because it will add a lot to the replay value. It just crossed my mind that they should add a New Game + option. This way you can complete the Gathering more easily. I always wondered why they didn't put that in in the first one.

Thats true, they wernt really sidequests as you had to complete them n_n;;; But yeah I agree with what you said here. Especially the new game + option, ToS has that too it adds alot of fun to new savegames n_n Plus there are some cards you can only get once and if you miss it its bad luck for ya ;_;. So yeah n_n
Zelda_Rulez Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah I don't like missable items especially on RPGs. I just think it's wrong to make that possible to happen, because a lot of people aren't going to play a long RPG another time for just one item. But it's just annoying to know that you have an almost complete file and you're missing just on ething. There's really not a lot of point in making items missable in my opinion.
Guest Ray Falling Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Thats true, though it adds some to the challenge...and its usually not a very important item but I agree, if you want to have a complete save file its very annoying to find out in the end that yer missing something 0_0
Zelda_Rulez Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Nice. I see we will be returning to the lava caves then.
Mizuti Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Looking good, yeah, looking good. Will most definately be picking this one up. Just hoping for a fast translation, not 1 and a halt year like the first one took.
Ten10 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 The first one took so long because they weren't going to bother originally.
Guest Ray Falling Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 That one screen looks liek the Cor Hydra 0_0; I find that very disturbing. New screens looking interesting n_n I wish there was more info on the characters
Stocka Posted October 15, 2005 Author Posted October 15, 2005 Oh I forgot to tell you guys, the japanese release date is December 1st. Hoepfully we'll get it Feb/March/April with any luck.
Hero-of-Time Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 I just hope they have the sense to release the game especially since it will be one of the last games to be on the cube over here. *runs off to continue playing number 1*
Stocka Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 I just hope they have the sense to release the game especially since it will be one of the last games to be on the cube over here.*runs off to continue playing number 1* I'm sure they will, when was the last time a company released a game in Europe then they made a sequel but didn't see light in Europe? I wonder if it'll be out before Twilight Princess...maybe even same day?
|Laguna| Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Hmm, hopefully this mean the first one will go down in price so then gamers can try it for cheap and then buy the second one, so it's like £20 + £40. Any change of this becoming players choice, in faact when is the next btach of players choice actually coming out? Seems like their haven't been any new games on it for a while.... Not that I'd actually buy them as the crappy silver bit around the edge just looks awful IMO.
Jon Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I'm sure they will, when was the last time a company released a game in Europe then they made a sequel but didn't see light in Europe? ermm, i can remember a series in which the first wasnt released here but the sequel was, parasite eve.
Stocka Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 Not that I'd actually buy them as the crappy silver bit around the edge just looks awful IMO. Yeah I agree. Perhaps Namco will release a BKI+II pack for £54.99 or something? It would make sense and bring in people who are willing to give it a try.
Retro_Link Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Any change of this becoming players choice, in faact when is the next btach of players choice actually coming out? Seems like their haven't been any new games on it for a while.... Not that I'd actually buy them as the crappy silver bit around the edge just looks awful IMO. I agree! There are a few Players Choice games that i'd like to get at some stage; Resi 0 and maybe Sonic Adventure (I had the Dreamcast version) and maybe some others; but i really don't like the design of them and I'd much rather try and find the original version (something which is near impossible)! I think Tales of Symphonia will be out as a Players Choice soon; as I think it has been in America for a while now? So maybe there will be a few out then? Does anyone know of any US ones that we haven't got yet?
Hero-of-Time Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Animal Crossing is one that the yanks have got. Makes sense though as they had it like 10 years before us lol. Hopefully Baten wont be out the same day as Zelda that would just be cruel. Off topic a bit here but Im on playing through number 1 of Baten and just got to the point where... Kalas turns out to be a traitor. I would never had guessed it was him. Also I owned the 3-1 fight. I heard it was hard so I levelled up to level 30 with kalas which in turn got my loads of Light Paddles for Gibari. I then went on to destroy Giacomo and his goons. Awesome game!
Jayby Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 New scan! Yeah there's definitely a Cor Hydra and Lave Caves pic, and the guy in the top right looks like Lodekahn (sp?)
Stocka Posted October 16, 2005 Author Posted October 16, 2005 Yeah H-o-T, I would of never guessed it too, and I agree the game is awesome.
Zelda_Rulez Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 The mini-site is online too: http://www.monolithsoft.co.jp/baten2/index.html Doesn't show a lot though.
Stocka Posted October 20, 2005 Author Posted October 20, 2005 More more more! Wow some of those graphics are amazing for this gen :shock: The reflections are marvellous.
Guest Ray Falling Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Holy vuc!!! Thats awesome. I love the new camera angles alot. And that one flashback pic is the town near the silly tower with the Children of the Earth 0_0 *drool* Screens are ace, but more actual game info would be great too
Hero-of-Time Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 The game is looking awesome. Cant wait to play it I wish it was out now as i just finishing off getting all the magnus from the first game. Did any of you get all 1000 odd magnus cards?
Hero-of-Time Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Ok i didnt want to double post and I sent Stocka a PM to post the news here so I didnt have to but guess he hasnt seen it yet so I will anyways. Seen the news last night that Namco have delayed Baten Kaitos 2 indefinetly. Hopeully it wont be cancelled just a delay thats all....crosses fingers. It was reported on magic-box website and if you check out gamefaqs and goto the Baten 2 boards its all over there.
Stocka Posted October 21, 2005 Author Posted October 21, 2005 Makes you wonder when it will see the light of day in UK
