Baten Kaitos Discussion Thread

Wait wait wait. How the fuck? 80 minutes? You sure? O_o

100% sure. A nicle little surprise also awaits in the MIDDLE of the ending. I was wtf :lol

This ranks as one of the best endings for me that's for sure.

Oh and did I say that Motoi Sakaruba is a genius? I listens to the soundtrack now.
 
Very awesome game. Funnest battle system ever. Hopefully there is a sequel on Cube or Revolution, alongside the mysterious DS Baten Kaitos

Gotta love the soundtrack as well!

I like kalas taunts before a magic spell. This is my fav, something like this:

Jesus, I just faced two of the toughest boss battles in an RPG so far (of course, that may say I'm not as good as I thought I was). Other than that, this game has really picked up some steam, which was what I was hearing would happen once I reached disc 2.

The first battle with those freaks Giacomo, Ayme and Folon was difficult, but not frustrating, I think it depended more on the strength of your decks. The second battle with that freak Geldoblame was more frustrating because of his ability to kill you with "forfeit your life", and I lucked out eventually when he chose not to use it every turn.

You think that was hard? You are soon to throw your controller in frustration :P

The game will grow more and more on you.
 
Bought the game today and so far so good, very good looking and the music has been awesome so far, the song in the forest is really cool imo, so calm :) Im only at the beginning but the battle system shows some promises, the combo and card +%, the elements and all that, really cool.

I still had SMT3 to play but i gave up on that, spent roughly 20 hours in it and it was just frustratingly hard and no motivation story wise to continue.
 
Dont give up on the story though, it will seem pretty cut and paste through the first disk (which is not as long as disc 2), then once you change disks, things will really pick up fast.
 
I regret not
going back to the castle and doing the Knights of Whatever versus the Imperial soldiers perfectly (I thought a few soldiers were red when they were black -- dang my eyes @ 2 am!). I lost one battle and I think that was where I would have received the Light Aura card. Now I'm doing that part where you have to chase Mizuti through the Trail of Souls....ARGH @ the slowness of the Mindeer!
 
It really does get so much better in disc 2. Even though the problem that bothered me was still there in the beginning, glad it was gone soon.

I was so mad at myself for
giving all the cameras to Kalas. Once he's gone, I missed out quite a few one time only photos >_< Now I've completely given up on trying to get a complete card set.
 
Ok, I'm on Disc 2,
Giaccomo and his goons are kicking my ass on the Goldoba
I think I've just about tried every party order and card I've had. No clue how to get past them.

Get rid of Folon first, then Giacomo, then finally Ayme but not before taking a snapshot of her. That worked for me on a second try.
 
k, I was at Cor Hydrae, and then RE4 came out. After finishing RE4, I went back and finished BK, and all I have to say is...

Super Mega Hyper WTF @ Geldoblame.
 
My copy from Wasabi arrived a while ago, but then...it came out.

Sorry Baten, you remain sealed for a while longer!
 
Ok I'm somewhat near the end of the game.
Working on the character-specific sidequests to get their specialized cards and attacks. I've done Lyude, Mizuti, Savyna and Gibarri's quests and everyone but Xelha has Class 6.

What am I missing here?
 
Well, you need to do Xelha's sidequest
Talk to the head of the Magic School in Anuenue and she'll talk to you about the book of magic which you can then enter itself

I actually did it in order of Folon, Ayme and then Giacomo, I saved Giacomo last because once you get him down to half health, he pulls out some killer moves against you.

Ok, thanks, I jusst happened to be near there, lol
 
Well, no problem, I think you have to be in Anuenue anyway in order to begin the final events.

I stopped playing BK when RE4 came out and I had just finished Gibari's quest, so now I probably should go back and finish the game.

Guys where is Gibari's quest?? I want him class6 for the final battle.

Great celestial river. At the left side of the world map. Go to his hometown first.
 
Shikamaru Ninja said:
Where do i get those in the celestial alps??

By beating Giacamo, folon and ayme twice. You get Chaotic Illusion which is kick ass. Reminded me a little of FF8 Lionheart
