@TEMINIX it is at least 50 hours of gameplay. i left it on when i fell asleep cuz i was constantly playing it so idk how long it took me to beat it lol. but yeah theres a lot of side quests, some that r very long and some r very short. I LOVE THIS GAME!! i cant find orgins

@HollielillieYume

You've obviously never played The Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness, REmake, Resident Evil 4, Burn Out 2 or F-Zero GX.

@FallenRaeLi21 I would have to agree; I feel that having your party share a deck in Origins made it hard to know when it was the best time to heal. As opposed to lost ocean which you could give a party member the majority of the healing cards.

best game for gamecube. nuff said.

I like the battle system better in Lost Ocean but That's just me. I didn't like the main boy in Origins though let down for me.

@sparklefulpaladin Yeah, I think I remember something like that, too. But all in al, they are both great games.

@swordfish1390 Storywise, they'd have a good place to set it if they decide to follow Mizuti around. If I remember correctly, at the end of Eternal Wings, she decides to go off on an adventure with some of the other young people...

@sparklefulpaladin Yeah, definitly, I would absolutly love a 3rd Baten Kaitos game. I wish there was a bigger for these games so that there might be a slight possibility, but I don't think that'll happen, unfortunatly. But, hey, who knows?

@swordfish1390 Eternal Wings will always hold a special place, being my first RPG and I love it, but I also really love Origins. They're very different (I haven't gotten into much of the voice acting in Origins yet, so I can't comment on that). Eternal Wings is good to learn with (it's slower), but Origins feels more like a battle, especially when a character skips his/her turn because they're down. They're both amazing and I hope they come out with a third one, too 0_0

@sparklefulpaladin I know that this comment was directed to me, but I have to say that I agree with you about Origins: MUCH improved over the first one. Deck management didn't feel like busy work, voice actors were MUCH better, cooler battle system, etc. The first one is amazing, don't get me wrong, I just think that 2nd is better.
