  • TVTropes: The first Baten Kaitos game is an excellent JRPG with a solidly written plot...delivered with outrageously bad voice acting that runs the full spectrum from Dull Surprise to Large Ham. Special points to Lyude, who is about as wooden as you can get, Xelha, who sounds unnervingly like a man doing a really good falsetto, and Geldoblame, whose voice actor was apparently enjoying himself very much.

    ...I wish they would make a remake of this one with a slightly better voice acting and combat

  • You've done a great service to everyone who've enjoyed this game and wanted to see and hear the particular scenes once again--like me! Thank you for you great work!

  • Honestly this is one of the best games! the picture is really beautiful and the game itself. it made me feel...almost as if i was there? or had a mission lmao. i know it sounds so weird, i love this game! i also have the origins too. Thing is.....i got So far on it and lost my memory card T_T Sigh, i'll still play this any day !!

  • I wonder why they have Gibari's daughter in the cut scene when they don't even mention her in the game....

  • nice game.9/10 !

  • @Dx6976208 fag, the game is 10/10

  • Mizuti :'D

  • Comment removed

  • Us heroes, we have so much to do~

  • This is like a Trailer :D

  • So good! Have yet to play origins. But the original is incredible.

  • Oh and the Mizuti song ROCKS

  • I had that game on gamecube, never managed to finish it though... But people, this is one of the BEST games i've ever played...

  • 10 people live in the Empire !

  • My favourite game on my favourite console... I really shed some tears at the ending...

  • "BE WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED TO BE!" a whale.

  • I've been seeing this game just sitting around on top of a shelf at my local game store for half a year now. I never knew what it was, until today that is. Now I feel like a damn moron for not picking it up months ago when I first noticed it. I hope it's still there tomorrow.

  • In my Top 3 Fav RPG's Since the first hour of game.

  • EPIC.

  • Who else thought this game was beautiful and fun, but this cutscene was probably the cheesiest cutscene ever?

    I mean, it goes through every rpg opening cutscene cliche' ever. I don't hate this cutscene, it just makes me smile and laugh every time.

    I have this video in a Nostalgia playlist.

  • I don't see why so many people hate the voice acting. You want bad voice acting? Play MK4.

  • If only the voice acting in-game was as good as the trailer. It's as if they botched the acting in-game. Compare everyone from the trailer to in-game. The more noticeable differences would be with Kalas and specially Xelha. The game would have been so much more epic with proper voice acting.

  • I remember, the first time I watched this when I started the game... I thought that Mizuti was the Ancient God of Destruction, and that Kalas was going to be the Whale. ...Pfft, was I wrong. Thank you for uploading this. C:

  • @BlackWingedTraveler

    Many people complain this was sooo spoilerish, but I think it isn't that bad. you got it all wrong and that shows that it only makes you curious about what's going on. It seems only spoilerish if you already KNOW the storyline.

  • greatest game I've ever played

  • @BlackOrchid1004 But the worse voice acting ever recorded

  • @12moondoggie12 why that? the only voice I don't like is Geldoblames and Barnettes..

  • @BlackOrchid1004 are you nut!?....Geldoblames is the only good voice acting after Mizuti!...compare this voices with the ones from Tales of Symphonia!

  • @DevilSoma well I don't like whole person of Geldoblame ^^ Okay, ToS got a very very, very brilliant synchro and it's a completely different thing to BK, but well the synchro of BK-Origins is even more worse than the one of BK

  • @12moondoggie12 No, the english voice of Xenogears are much worse

  • They don't make games like this anymore, sadly.

  • @Iceshoot

    Yes, they do actually. You're narrow mind just refuses to see it.

  • @Crusina Bitch please.

    I'm an elite gamer. I think i know.

    And ''you're'' is an abbrevation of ''you are'', therefore faulty in -your- sentence.

  • @Iceshoot

    *points and laughs*

  • MANN wenns den als Film gäbe , wär ich sau glücklich :D

    Ich glaub ich würd den 10 mal gucken :P

  • @virgil888 NICE!!!

  • Lyude is muh favorite! I love how whenever something went wrong everyone always blamed him first.

  • I hope the wii-u virtual console can have gamecube games

  • I wish they had more cool cutscenes like this...

  • Why is the Empire always the antagonist?

  • @prudence00 Empires are large nations, often with autocratic governments. They are often militaristic and use their large armies to expand by absorbing other nations.

    This is everything that the west fears; they like to root for underdogs, which empires are not, they think autocracy is the source of all evil, and empires are also expansionist by nature which makes them ideal aggressors.

  • @XzoahX

    It doesn't mean it isn't an overused cliche, especially when the good guys work for a kingdom

  • @prudence00 I didn't say it wasn't either. I just answered your question. I would very much like to see an empire that is seen as a force for good.

  • It's reminds me to Chrono Cross, dunno why, lol

  • Pity the intro never showed that girl with white hair, who's name I can't remember... I would have liked to see her with pre-rendered graphics.

  • @XzoahX Her name is Melodia and I do agree with you. She should have been in the intro.

  • @lordepsilon9000 She talked in the intro. Better then nothing.

  • That is the most fucked up "Be what you always dreamed to be" I ever heard.

    fuck.

  • Ah yes, one of my favorite gamecube games. For some reason, I choose this game over the Tales games any day. I think it's because of how the combat works.... and the fact I don't like how Tales is cell-shaded (lack of better terms).

    ...maybe its because I'm actually involved in the game as a character (despite how Im a spirit... :B )

  • Why is Gibari so awesome in both games?

  • Favorite game EVER! 

  • Ah, I'm a little torn over this game - I absolutely loved it...but the voice acting was terrible. XD

    Thankfully, it was remedied 110% in Origins!

  • @BoltFraction xD yeah in this intro its not so bad, but the ingame voice acting was so terrible :O i remember Xelha only said one spell as if it was something scary, and that was Bells of Fate. :P

    savyna and gibari had decent voice acting though.

  • @suckieduckie

    I agree with you completely. Savyna and Gibari were indeed decent. I was so let down when Lyude actually started talking in-game - he sounded great in the intro!

  • "In this world, there are things that people musn't touch... who cares?!"

    Kalas, I freaking love you. XD

  • Okay I've beaten this game a bunch of times, but still, WHAT is happening at 1:37 ??WHEN does that happen in the game??

  • @Turtlesoupshredder22

    localization issue :S

    they removed pretty much every full motion video in the game, that's the part where he drags fee (i think that's his name not sure) his brother to the forest after giacomo burned his house down

  • @Turtlesoupshredder22 HE IS his Grandpa ;)

  • Is that... Frieza?

  • Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphonia, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Sonic Heros, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Assault, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Mario Kart Double Dash, Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO, Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex, Custom Robo, Def Jam Fight for NY, Timesplitters 3, Ikaruga, Mario Party 4-7 are my favorite Gamecube Games.

  • @nightzeroAX haha you are forgetting soul calibur. mines are; time splitters, soul calibur, baten kaitos, ToS, super smash. double dash, and ofcourse final fantasy crystal chronicals, and the sonic game with the enormous chao garden

  • @mooncess I´ma get my copy in a week, and I know I´ll love it as much as Tales of Symphonia

  • @EXHellfire tbh i thought ToS was better :/

  • @suckieduckie yeah I played BK already, and I gotta say... Tales of Symphonia kills it XD

  • best gamecube games = this and Super Smash Bros. Melee

  • @DaMirrorLink and Tales of Symphonia. cant forget tales

  • @Kamikimaru true :P

  • @Kamikimaru of course, and metroid prime lol

  • This is honestly one of my favorite games ever. It was just...so beautiful. I managed to beat it last summer, and I fell in love with it all over again.

  • @TriforceKun The feeling for this game is mutual, my good man.

  • ....ahhhh such good memories... *_*

  • "Cmon Gibari... Move it !"

    "GO AWAY"

    haha i can't help but giggle a these lines every time

  • this was a great game to bad i didn't get to finish it

  • This is the one with the shitty voice acting!

  • Fuck Tales of Symphonia!THIS IS T3H SHITZ!!1!

    (I mean ToS is still a very good game but just another Tales Of...)

  • @XelchanTheBrave When it comes down to that, I usually just keep those two games separate and try not to compare them. I've played and fell in love with both games. They're both good in my eyes.

  • there are 9 who wish that malpercio would consume this world

  • It would be cool if they did a sequel to this (forget Origins for a sec) with the budget this game deserves... and w/o shitty voice actors.

  • Now- Be what you've always dreamed to be!

    2:02

  • What is the name of the npc in Sedna? (The one you have to turn the Sedna pieces to) I can't remember and can't find the answer anywhere.

  • wait is this the sequel to baten kaitos origin? if not which one is? because i remember gibari even tho hes old and geldoblame(hes old and wrinkled but still) :P

  • @Megafearfang yes, it's the sequel of baten kaitos origins

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!­!

  • I remember day,when i bought this game,i was holding Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean in my hand and Tales of Symphonia in other hand,and i was thinking which one i should buy,and i am glad that i choosed this,because i later bought Tales of Symphonia too XD

  • fuck!!

  • I wonder why Gibari never mentioned his daughter. 1:05

  • I love this game! It would have been so awesome if this was made into a anime movie!

  • HAH just beat the game for the first time so i came to post this, just to say this is one of the most epic games ive ever played. Took me ten years but it was worth every second. :D

  • I feel a chill in my spine each time i watch and play baen kaitos! Is just so beutiful!

  • My favorite game, and has been since the day it came out. Long live Baten Kaitos!

  • I like the passage " awaken, ancien god of destruction", it was the best, because of it, i watched the oppening every time i want to play, and cincerly, it was the best game ever for me!!!

  • @sensobb xD yeah i like that part too, the onyl shame is that that moment kinda sux ingame 0.o the voice acting is horrible and all the passion is gone :/ amazing game nonetheless

  • I love the line " A struggle alone will fill a great emptiness within you"

  • @GadGades Me too! :D it's so powerful.

  • gawd, i loved this and origins, i want another! >.<

  • @angelica462 Me too!!! I hope that they make a third :C

  • Lyude is such a spaz in this! XD

  • @0TanookiSuit0 haha well he did play with trumpets...wait I didn't mean it like that haha I mean he fought with musical instruments, it's kinda weird, but I loved Lyude : ) This game was the best!!!

  • fuckkkkkk i love this gamee !!!!!! :D

  • this game reminds me of chrono cross

  • @Azureflame14 They're made by the same team!

  • Forum inspiré de Baten Kaitos, venez nombreux, bonne entente et amusement garanti! =) Le nom : ~°Célestia : Le nouveau monde°~ Demander adresse par MP

  • "COMON...MOVE IT!!"

    "GO AWAY" lmfao

  • "There are things in this world that we must'n touch... Who care!" *touches boobies*

  • @ShadowManX125 you're retarted

  • @Blackcat51292

    Lawl, "retarted".

  • @ShadowManX125 You knew what it said, so why "Lawl" at it?

  • @Blackcat51292

    Calling someone a retard and misspelling retard, gee, I wonder what could be wrong ...

  • @ShadowManX125 It's not my fault English is my second language.

  • @Blackcat51292

    excuses.

  • @ShadowManX125 believe me or not, I don't care.

  • @Blackcat51292

    Yet you reply lol.

  • @ShadowManX125 What does that have to do with anything? Obviously I'm replying. LOL LOL LOL your mom!

  • the gibari guy looks kind of like wakka from final fantasy 10

  • This looks like a trailer to a movie i would soo watch. Too bad it isnt. :(

  • i wish they would release this for xbox 360

  • Great game. Shitty intro. :(

  • Seriously, this has to be the best intro ever created, even better than the fight between Seifer and Squall in FF VIII. I mean, the last 15 seconds are just way TOO epic! From "AWAKEN, ancient god of destruction! to the last shout of Kalas, everything is so amazing it gives me chills each time I watch this. Baten Kaitos was one amazing game, and it took me 4 or 5 years to realize that, now that I'm about to begin its prequel, that is said to be even better. Can't wait.

  • I always thought this opening was way over-the-top, but I guess it's still pretty successful. :)

  • one of my favorite games of all time, and one of the best trailers.

  • i didn't even like the game design and still i think it's one of the best games i ever played.

    think about it, you're about to prevent the resurrection of the evil god, you fail, you get a super awesome sword to kill the god, fail number two, evil god becomes super evil god, you attack him in his flying demon fortress of doom and... win. you're happy to watch the ending, blah blah everything is fine now and you still have to fight another boss.

    love it *.*

  • DAMN! THE BASTARDS!

  • Geldoblame is just one of those cases where you don't know if he's wearing too much make-up or not enough

  • Games that have an enticing and involved overall story plot, such as this, Tales of Symphonia, have so much more backbone than games such as Fable or Dragon Origins

  • @godlydrmr You know nothing of Story if thats what you really think. With Fable you may have a bit of a point, but BioWare (Mass Effect/Dragon Age) are truly masters of the craft when it comes to story. The moral implications bring the nuances of story much closer to home and make it much more of a "Role Playing" Game. As opposed to following a pre-set path. That said I LOVE both (Linear and Open World) rpgs.

  • I love this game to death..however let there be said that I found the whole xelha and geldoblame thing at the endgame absolutely pointless.

  • @tarkeke I agree, the Geldoblame return was quite pointless lol

  • I have two of this game in case one them brakes lol

    that's how much I love this game!

  • MAAAAAN!!! now that's an awesome intro^^ i just forgot how great this game is. and now, 2 years after playing, i found the intro xD man this game gives me a goose flesh xD (sorry for my bad english i'm german^^)

  • im stuck jeez this game is so fun my brother was playing it and i was like can i try?so when he went to a friends house i tryed it and i love this game and at 1:38 is he holding xelha?

  • does this game got a love stiry i am lookin for a cube rpg that does i got tales of symphonia (which is an awesome game) but it dont got one does this game at all? i got batoin kaitos orgins also but that dont have one neither

  • @ForrestPresley Origons was terribad, I was really hoping for it to be awesome and I was severely disappointed. However I maintain that Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean is the best, and my personal favorite, Gamecube RPG. I have played Tales of Symphonia, just to let you know.

    The story had a couple minor points I really enjoyed and one major point that still get's me to his day. I traded it into gamestop a few years back(I was young) and I consider it to have been a major mistake

  • I wish I could think of acting against the empire... But i just can't

  • why is this opening so much better then the second games XD?!

  • Mizuti FTW!

  • Lyude is cute 83

  • i love this game i play it with my brother alot infact were playing it right now

  • can someone tell me how many baten kaitos tittles there are

  • @supertramp5000 just two

  • Sometimes I just have to watch this trailer because it is the most awesome intro ever! When I first got BK I skipped the intro but the next day I watched it and was STUNNED.

  • Geldoblame is officially the most neon villain I have ever come across.

  • i love this game to death i have both and their both awsome its one the very few games i can say i wouldent sell for a million dollars:)

  • I never understood why they made the whales so mythical?

    wasn't a hidden messages telling the Japanese to quit eating whales???????

  • Goddamnit I love that. It's what convinced me to buy it in the first place. Haven't regretted it to this day, it's my favourite game ever.

  • does anyone know how to play the game on the eu gc, i mean bko

  • i want dis game i only have baten kaitos origins but not dis one! these games R awesome!

  • cant recal the ''gibari move it'' and the part on the sea..

  • @Woutva the part on the sea i think is before the thunderfish

  • I don't care this game was awesome.

  • This is my favorite game for so many reasons. It's beautiful, the plot line is amazing and the characters are intense. You feel like you're there with them...not to mention this game takes FOREVER to beat, which is awesome because lately games are over in like thirty mintues anymore :/

    This game is so underrated...it disserves so much more credit. Baten Kaitos Origins was a masterpiece to, even though it took me year to beat it because it kept freezing all the time.

  • @AubreyHalo thats sucks your game froze? that never happened to mine :/

  • @Tarazed1 It's ok :) My Origins copy would freeze in most of my battles. I don't know how many times I fought Shanath over and over because it would freeze >.< I think it was my gamecube, because when I play it on the Wii it doesn't do it anymore lol.

  • @AubreyHalo yeah probably the gamecube seemed to short circuit after 5 years. I had to play mine on my old GCN at the time because Im pretty sure my brother was hogging the wii with twilight princess. but right after I beat origins my gamecube pulled a kerplunk then I managed to sell it :)

  • @AubreyHalo btw how cool would it be if a baten kaitos 3 came out?...only if they made it good and did it justice of course

  • @Tarazed1 Awww man, I always dreamed and hoped that they would make another one, of course making it epix as the other two. I totally agree!

  • @Tarazed1

    And they have to bring Origins over to Europe, I still haven't played it :(

  • @AubreyHalo I agree, it's an awesome game.

    This intro sucks though, way to dramatic, and most of the scenes never happen in the game.

  • @dobadobadooo They do though, in an certain manner. I'm sure if the game had cinematic throughout it would include these parts, but the gamecube couldn't handle all those graphics. It's a hook, this pulls you into the game further. When Mizuti says "us heroes we have so much to do" that happens within in the game right after you follow her out of the shadowy fog. The thunderfish attacking you occurs, maybe not on a boat, but it occurs. Savyna has been waiting for you, Kalas, and Xelha.

  • @dobadobadooo Geldoblame saying "Kill him, he proves a threat to my empire" occurs at Queen Corellia's castle with Falon following him. Kalas earns his white wings within the fire pits. The old witch fortune tellers are a part of it. Mizuti's mask breaking is a part of it. Some if it is just a introduction to character personality and storyline. All of the scenes occur in the game, and I agree, they are overdramatic, but true. It makes you want to play the game.

  • @AubreyHalo No, I said MOST of the scenes.

    Another bad thing about the intro is that it makes some of the characters seem really bland, like Gibari who comes of as an always pissed of brute, and Lyude who comes of as just... lame.

    I don't know about you, but when I first saw this I almost decided then not to buy the game. I'm glad I did though, for even as the intro is lame (imo), the game is absolutely marvelous.

  • @dobadobadooo I believe most of the scenes occur, but they are just opinions. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to look like I was getting into a fight with you.

    (Lol Lyude is my favorite character XD)

  • @AubreyHalo No, i was just discussing, I didn't mean to sound angry or anything. ;-)

  • @dobadobadooo lol ^_^ me too.

  • @AubreyHalo that happen to me too, baten katos origins is very good =) and some parts very difficult, and it was my first RPG =) I enjoy it so much

  • this game is fucking awesome i never liked rpg until i played this game. the only problem with this game is that ends....or not.. yeah i think it does end

  • Yeah , i liked more origins, tho its fun to see alot of char like gibari, but younger in origins ^^ (yeah gibari's so much cooler when he was young xD)

  • Gibari sounds nothing like that during gameplay.

  • Who is he holding at 1:40?

  • @jeffstartropics His grandfather.

  • This game was fun as hell, but I never completed it for some reason... Not really sure why. Fun gameplay and a great RPG, but the voice-overs were absolutely HORRIBLE. I ended up turning them off and reading the game.

    Good game though. Creative, innovative, and had a decent story if I remember correctly. Wouldn't mind digging it up and beating it...

  • Awesome game. Played it back on the day on my cube... never completed it for some reason, but the game was fun! My only problem with it was the the terrible voice-overs. I recall just turning them off and reading the damn game. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that.

    I'm kind of craving going back and completing it... Maybe picking up origins at some point.

  • @bagelsofDEATH PICK UP ORIGINS. it is fricking good. good voice acting

  • "C'mon Gibari, Move it!"... "Go away!" lol

  • great game.. too bad mah bro sold it before I got to finish it. T.T I'm gonna buy it again, i swear. It's graphics are some of the most beautiful abd amazing of ALL time.

  • Only ONE bad side, battles are slow. But hell this game is simply awsome :) I want Baten Kaitos III T_T

  • @conurebleu there ya go ht tp:// im g.photobucket.co m/a lbums/v604/ivysaur12/Screensho­t2010-05-20at23615AM .p ng (just erase all the space)

  • @Alastor255 what... what i
