Baten Kaitos

I was wondering if anyone here has tried Baten Kaitos or is a fan of the game? I think that some of the elements of the game are very creative and the graphics for the backgrounds is very nice too. Trees swaying in the wind and butterflies flying around flowers to name a few of the things that are in the background and foreground.

I love Baten Kaitos. A very involving plot (you are a character in the game, a Guardian Spirit).

Best. Soundtrack. Ever.

The soundtrack in Baten Kaitos 2 better be as good, because I still play the soundtrack during my free time.

What's your favorite track? Mine is Violent Storm.

Baten Kaitos's soundtrack is one of my favorites as well. I have heard samples for the Baten Kaitos II soundtrack and believe me, you won't be dissappointed. The soundtrack for Baten Kaitos II will have 3 CDs so there's going to be more music in the game then the first one.

I've been trying to decide whether to get it or not. Im sure you recommended ToS and that was great so I'll trust your recomendation

Paradox: It's not as quite as good as ToS (well, the soundtrack on BK completely owns ToS's) in terms of gameplay, but a few love it. It's got a far darker plot, and a crapload less backtracking. There is a bit of backtracking, however, but not a lot.

In other words, you may want to rent it first.

Thanks for telling me about the soundtrack DragonSage! I was going to pick up BK2 regardless, but now I have all the more reason to.

No problem, ShiningClefairy. ^_^ The music in Baten Kaitos II is really good. I hope that I can get that along with the first Baten Kaitos Soundtrack for my B-Day.

And the release date for the Baten Kaitos II Soundtrack is this month on the 24th. Just to let you know.
 
I played this gave and I FREAKING LOVED IT! It was realy hard to get a hang on chosing diffrent Magnus numbers though, I still do it wrong sometimes. And the ending is the ONLY game ending that made me cry, you cant help but cry after what happens.
My favoret tracks have to be "Chaotic Dance" and "Ruler of the 7 Skys" Theres allso "Metalic Stroke~ Gitar Version".

My fav from the Baten Katios Soundtrack is the one that was in the opening of the game.
 
I love Baten Kaitos.... one kick *** game :D I never finished it as I got sidetracked with other things but I really like the plot and the places you get to visit/graphics.

IGN on Baten Kaitos II...

Baten Kaitos 2 takes place 20 years prior to the start of the original. You play as Sagi, a member of the empire's "Elite" force of fighters. Sagi heads off on a quest to determine the nature of a mysterious change that's appearing in the world. Actually, you don't play as Sagi like you play as the main characters of other RPGs. You actually play as a spirit that resides within Sagi, an entity that represents Sagi's "true self," and give "advice" to Sagi as the game progresses. The notion of a spirit residing in a character is actually a part of the Baten Kaitos storyline. The world of Baten Kaitos was formed when the living spirits of two separate worlds connected, and people who have spirits within them are considered wise.

I wouldve rather have an actual sequal than a prequal... >.< But I guess this will further explain some of the history of the one currently out now? Its supposedly coming out sometime this year.

Apparently theyre making a BK for the DS too. ALthough theres like no info on that... Im guessing it will come out next year or the year after.

Outdated, ShiningMew. Baten Kaitos DS got canned.

Oh yeah, check out the check out all of the stuff the Motoi Sakuraba, the music composer of Baten Kaitos, has done. Look at the list and be amazed, because this guy has like, the single best Japanese music resume there is.

http://www.cocoebiz.com/sakuraba/discography/

He did ALL of the Mario Sports music, Golden Sun series, all of Namco's Tales, Shining Force series, Star Ocean series, Valkyrie Profile, and others.

im haveing troubel with the family tree quest, i can't get the last person to apear, where she is supost to apear. it is Quzman's 3rd wife.

You might be missing someone from Quzman's 3rd wife's side like maybe her father or something. I'm really looking forward to the new game. IGN has some new videos for BK II.

I might be able to help you out, Tri-Edge. I have the guide at my house, so I'll look up that quest when I get home from school. I also completed that quest with the whole family tree done so I'll look at that also.
 
I hhave the guide too, but Ive neever seen the last person EIther.
Actualy, A Prequl might work. But, I would hope for one that tackled the back stories we DIDNT get to see. We dont know anything realy about Gibari by the end besides the fact he was a DIadem Knight
 

DragonSage

Dragon Type Trainer
Actually Gibari will be back in this game but he's only 14 yrs old in this game and if I remember correctly from what I have read, he's like a friend to Ladekhan who's only 12. But I think that some things about Gibari being a part of the Royal knights will be revealed in this game. Maybe even the reason why he left in the first place.

Now I think that the last person for that sidequest is on the floor that's before you face that wooden Red and Blue lions in Quzma's Tower in Duhr.

Yeah, I'm betting we'll see Fee/Kalas's grandfather (can't remember the name), Giacamo, Geldoblame (confirmed), Savyna, Ladekhan, and Gibari. I'd like to know more about the past of their grandfather.

If it takes place... I know it was somewhere along the lines of 20 or 40 years... before Baten Kaitos 1, then we can't possibly see a lot of the main characters from Baten Kaitos.

Most of them (Lyude, Kalas, Xelha and Mizuti) aren't even born. It does suck that they won't be in the prequel. Who knows, maybe Skeed and Vallye will be in the new game.

And about Geldoblame, did you know that he will actually help you in the game? It said it in Nintendo Power. When I read that, I pretty much had RPG whiplash.

Hard to believe that the insane dictator will actually help you in Baten Kaitos II.
