@Xolotl8 you need to obtain the "Shampoo" card after 2 weeks (in real-time) of gameplay, it will become the "Splended Hair" card, which will unlock all of the music tracks. I know, it sux D:
@TheCrimsonPower Well, you could use SP combos to create magnus that dont age. Chestnuts and Sacred Wine are the best options in the beggining (and very convenient because healing magnus are the most affected by the time).
I didnt play Baten Kaitos much (finished it anyway :D) But I so much loved those OST that now I feel like any new J-RPG OST is a copy... Can hear some things that are the same *.*
Anyway, Love it. Keep on going you japanese geniuses :D
you are fighting the wicked god of death and destruction, in a castle that floats above a planet he poisoned, that is filled to the brim with damned beasts that are hell-bent on killing you. He absorbed the soul of a pure indiviual and gained the ability to inflict every status condition, absorb your hp, deal almost 10,000 damage per combo, and attack three times per turn.
@TheSolBlader "Fanboy" - I haven't even played 13. I'm going on the more muscial aspect in that the opening is very similar to the opening of the Final Fantasy 6 boss battle - only in a higher key and faster.
this song reminds me alot about star ocean songs, alot of games that let u roam free wen fighting a monster in a battle field usually have the best songs, but i wouldn't recommend buying the new star ocean(the last hope) the story line is fantastic as usual but the game is too short lived even if it is on 3 discs...
Whoa this song brings back memories... all the way back when linkin park was my favourite band ha so awhile ago =.= I can't remember what happened to my game but I lost it just before beating it ( I think ) And I also lost the full album that came with the game when I bought it so I dont have the songs anymore :( It is official I am heading to ebay or amazon and buying some good ol gamecube games... games these days really do not compare in story it is sad how horrible most are now.
Actually the voices arent THAT bad, bigger issue was at least in eu version the voices sounded weird and echoey if you dont have sounds set to surround.
Well I don't know how likely we are to see a Baten Kaitos for the Wii, but what I will say is that for whatever reason Eternal Sonata vaguely reminded me of Baten Kaitos. I guess their soundtracks are pretty similar sounding if nothing else. Given this game's soundtrack is on par with a game about a freaking classical composer, that's obviously a compliment.
@Nejove Eternal Sonata was developed by a lot of the same people as Baten Kaitos(specifically, tri-crescendo). Plus, the soundtrack is by Motoi Sakuraba (who composed the BK scores as well).
Impressive places, imaginary worlds...This game is my inspiration for creating magnificient worlds, i mean perfect ambientation, GREAT story, absolute fantastic gameplay, nice characterss...i mean cmon Nintendo THIS IS WHAT WE WANT : ).
@XharchianValor This. So much this. Sakuraba really only shines nowadays when he utilizes orchestral or heavy rock stuff. His synthesizer stuff pales in comparison.
@ModelOz don't agree. Tales of symphonia were mostly midi stuff and has some of my favourite alltime gametracks. asgard, raine theme, final destination and kratos theme to name a ^^ don't mean to not let you disagree with me, just stating my oppinion. I think baten kaitos is his best work of what I've heard though. the music is so engrossing and generally not too upbeat, which I think is a good thing. Something I misliked with tales of vesperia and origins
@tarkeke Hence the "nowadays". Sakuraba's golden age was pretty much confined within ToS/Golden Sun/GS:TLA/BK/BKO. TotA had some really good tracks, but wasn't that great overall. Vesperia was just disappointing, and his work in Radiant Mythology 2 varies from 'meh' to 'good'.
@ModelOz vesperia as a whole was a disappointment imo.no summon spirits damnit! easygoing plot, wasted characters and I wasn't too fond of the battlesystem,it felt clunky.
unfortunately they didn't release tota in pal, so I haven't played it, but it's apparently really good =)
what did you think of his music in eternal sonata? I love the battle theme to death^^
@tarkeke Don't even get me started on Eternal Sonata's music, which I somehow forgot about. The music in that game is SEXY. Proof that Sakuraba needs to do orchestral more often.
@tarkeke Or, hell, just fast-paced rock like this. That's why I like a lot of BK and BKO's battle themes. Sakuraba's rock stuff is quite literally never this good.
yeah malpercio is a tough bugger. but do it well and Lyude can basically solo him. Make sure he got loads of those light based attacks with 4 numbers (should get plenty of em in Cor Hydrae) and make sure he got the strongest finisher Finale. Just make a final straight sunrise (from numbers 1 to 9) and make sure the 9 is Finale. You should be able to do 10k + dmg right away.
but yeah, this song is awesome. I think it's the best from Baten Kaitos 1
Malpercio was the most annoying son of a bitch EVER........It would always attack me like a bajillion times at once before i could do anything, and i would always yell..."STOP, YOU PIECE A SHIT, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND."
@Xienis That would be awful. At the speed you had to choose them in the first, and ever more so in the second, there's no way you could be quick enough with any type of accuracy to choose the right magnus. Not to say I'm against a BK game on the wii, I just think using the motion to select magnus would slow down the combat way too much.
@DarkRaven4649 just turn of the va and use your imagination..there..problem solved lol. and what you got is an unique card-concept along with a surprisingly twisty plot. Looking aside from the va, the script is outstanding
The voice acting would've been better if it weren't for that constant reverb effect that they make whenever a single gutteral utterance is made, where it sounds like they're talking through a tube. They used pretty lame sound equipment for the voice actors.
I read somewhere that they tried to do that muffling sound on purpose; since you're a "Guardian Spirit", it's supposed to emphasize that you're viewing them from another dimension. Or something.
@MrStrifeDP They should have made note of that in the beginning, because in reality, everyone who played it just thought it sounded awful. At least they fixed it in origins.
@Archlvt what were you expecting? a disclaimer at the startup screen that says "HAY GUYS THE THE VOICE ACTING SUXXORS!!! LOLOLOL WE TRIED TO MAKE IT SOUND COOL BUT WE FAILED LMAO SO TURN OF THE VOICES IN THE OPTIONS MENU KTHXBI" ?
Are you just stupid or something? I was suggesting that they should have hinted at the fact that they sound funny to you because you're a spirit, rather than leaving you guessing.
well they do say that, as a spirit, you're in a different dimension, so a not-retarded person (i.e anyone besides you) would have picked up on that and figured it out for themselves. they didn't think special ed kids like you would play the game so they didn't put in an unnecessary disclaimer for slow people.
Ohhh so like, everybody except me heard the sound quality of the voices and thought to themselves "ohhh okay, that makes sense, so it really doesn't sound that bad at all."
It wasn't even the fact that they sound like they're talking through a tube to me. (Because that makes sense with the whole Guardian Spirit thing)
What got me is that the voice actors don't sound like they are actually into the role of the characters. Just watch the intro, the voices don't sound like the actual characters talking, it sounds like voice actors reading lines off of a paper. Xelha and Lyude were the worst. (pardon me if I misspelled the names, it's been a while)
I didn't think the voice acting was as bad as everyone else made it out to be. It's the SOUND quality. Not very often is it the voice actors fault. They didn't write the script and they didn't have control over the fact that it sounded like they were talking into a tin can.
both were good, but if you play this one first, origins' feels more fun because you can see the younger versions of many characters. Both have crazy plot twists. Especially this one.
I seem to be the only person who didn't have too much trouble with Malpercio. Then again, I was dropping nine-card straights on him better than one turn in three.
Good game, good characters, interesting battle system, horrible voice acting. :(
That last line I can agree with. Seriously, those voice actors should be dragged out in the streets and shot for preformance undeserving a game such as this!
I heard they did that to the sound to make it sound like it was going through a dimensional rift to reach you or some bogus, but no, it just sounded like it was going through someone's asshole.
Baten Kaitos was an incredible game - a deep, indulging story, immersive graphics, stunning attack effects, and great music.
But I think its most important aspect was the battle system... And unfortunately, this was also it's downfall. The card - based system is simple, doesn't require a lot of menu humping, and keeps you on your toes for the duration of the fight. Even random encounters were exciting. But I think most serious RPGers hear the word 'card' and wrote this game off as childish.
I agree on some point, but i'd say that the card system can be realy complexe at some point.
As exemple; I had those charms that confuse the character but boosted their stat, well trying to make suite and card pair while confused and with 9cards to pick each attack can be pretty wicked.
Plus orginizing a good deck is not an easy task, you must do some statistic on your own to try to have the most balanced tool of magnus...
I agree, I would love another Baten Kaitos, too many people didn't get to see the game, if they remade it, or came out with another one I know it will go big.
well it isn't really like they Can make another. Everyone has lost their wings of the heart which played a major role in both the first game, and it's prequel. That, and the islands are no longer islands so much as mountain-tops. The emperor is dead, and magic pretty much is too.
unless they make a game featuring technology vs magic then there won't be much for them to use as a plot.
Unless they make a prequel to the prequel, and I don't know how I fell about that. Baten Kaitos Rocks but a prequel to a prequel is desperate for money/continuation.
difficulty wise, origins was better. but i prefer the first for a more balanced style of play. but theyre both really good titles that should not be overlooked.
Imagine Dream Theater would play this! Awesome!

@MrStrifeDP They should have made note of that in the beginning, because in reality, everyone who played it just thought it sounded awful. At least they fixed it in origins.

@Archlvt what were you expecting? a disclaimer at the startup screen that says "HAY GUYS THE THE VOICE ACTING SUXXORS!!! LOLOLOL WE TRIED TO MAKE IT SOUND COOL BUT WE FAILED LMAO SO TURN OF THE VOICES IN THE OPTIONS MENU KTHXBI" ?

Are you just stupid or something? I was suggesting that they should have hinted at the fact that they sound funny to you because you're a spirit, rather than leaving you guessing.
Go die in a ditch, faggot.
Archlvt 2 years ago
well they do say that, as a spirit, you're in a different dimension, so a not-retarded person (i.e anyone besides you) would have picked up on that and figured it out for themselves. they didn't think special ed kids like you would play the game so they didn't put in an unnecessary disclaimer for slow people.
i already died in a ditch, faggot.

Ohhh so like, everybody except me heard the sound quality of the voices and thought to themselves "ohhh okay, that makes sense, so it really doesn't sound that bad at all."
Right?
Archlvt 2 years ago
It wasn't even the fact that they sound like they're talking through a tube to me. (Because that makes sense with the whole Guardian Spirit thing)
What got me is that the voice actors don't sound like they are actually into the role of the characters. Just watch the intro, the voices don't sound like the actual characters talking, it sounds like voice actors reading lines off of a paper. Xelha and Lyude were the worst. (pardon me if I misspelled the names, it's been a while)

The voice acting wasn't bad. It was the fucking in battle voices that pissed me off.

(test commentaire) L'OST de Baten Kaitos est terrible.

I didn't think the voice acting was as bad as everyone else made it out to be. It's the SOUND quality. Not very often is it the voice actors fault. They didn't write the script and they didn't have control over the fact that it sounded like they were talking into a tin can.

I used to love this game. Then Origins came out, and for some reason I stopped liking this one afterwards.
HyperSonic9000 2 years ago
both were good, but if you play this one first, origins' feels more fun because you can see the younger versions of many characters. Both have crazy plot twists. Especially this one.

I kind of expected Malpercio by end game. I was more surprised with Origins. Seeing the Quaster at the end like that had me completely dooped.
HyperSonic9000 2 years ago
i was comparing the kalas twist to the marno twist actually. I think the one concerning kalas was really unexpected.
princetrunks06 2 years ago
What? Oh that. Yeah, that was totally un-expected. With Marno, I didn't really give it much thought, but it didn't surprise me.
HyperSonic9000 2 years ago
I seem to be the only person who didn't have too much trouble with Malpercio. Then again, I was dropping nine-card straights on him better than one turn in three.
Good game, good characters, interesting battle system, horrible voice acting. :(

That last line I can agree with. Seriously, those voice actors should be dragged out in the streets and shot for preformance undeserving a game such as this!

Malpercio was one hard son of a bitch to fight, but his music is one of the best tracks in the game.

not only the voice acting, but the way they mixed the audio was weird. It sounded so fucking cheap

I heard they did that to the sound to make it sound like it was going through a dimensional rift to reach you or some bogus, but no, it just sounded like it was going through someone's asshole.

Haha, seriously? They're just making that up. They obviously wanted to save space or something so they mixed audio like shit

Awesome epic battle. Malpercio really was a pain if you don't use strong combos. That damn enchanted blade of his healed him so much.

Baten Kaitos was an incredible game - a deep, indulging story, immersive graphics, stunning attack effects, and great music.
But I think its most important aspect was the battle system... And unfortunately, this was also it's downfall. The card - based system is simple, doesn't require a lot of menu humping, and keeps you on your toes for the duration of the fight. Even random encounters were exciting. But I think most serious RPGers hear the word 'card' and wrote this game off as childish.
fallyfalbit 2 years ago 17
I agree on some point, but i'd say that the card system can be realy complexe at some point.
As exemple; I had those charms that confuse the character but boosted their stat, well trying to make suite and card pair while confused and with 9cards to pick each attack can be pretty wicked.
Plus orginizing a good deck is not an easy task, you must do some statistic on your own to try to have the most balanced tool of magnus...

I agree, I would love another Baten Kaitos, too many people didn't get to see the game, if they remade it, or came out with another one I know it will go big.

the reason it didn't do well was because it wasn't advertised like AT ALL. Nobody heard about the game.
BottledFun 2 years ago
well it isn't really like they Can make another. Everyone has lost their wings of the heart which played a major role in both the first game, and it's prequel. That, and the islands are no longer islands so much as mountain-tops. The emperor is dead, and magic pretty much is too.
unless they make a game featuring technology vs magic then there won't be much for them to use as a plot.
WorldWalker128 2 years ago 2
They're making another Golden Sun, so they could probably do something else with Baten Kaitos.

Unless they make a prequel to the prequel, and I don't know how I fell about that. Baten Kaitos Rocks but a prequel to a prequel is desperate for money/continuation.
