Need this game STAT.

Looks like a lot of what was great about the original in retained though - music, art style etc, which is really good.

Still waiting for the announcement of Baten Kaitos DS though... come on Namco.
 
It's too bad they won't somehow fix the pacing issues the first one had. If it didn't have those longass card combos the battles wouldn't be around 30 minutes long each. Even if you select the cards fast you have to sometimes get rid of your hand and pick up new ones and the combos really do take forever. Some cards have really long animations for a weakass attack.

I think BK DS turned into BK2.

Hmmm, sounds like the music is good again.

Yah, Sakurba surprises the world and makes a good sountrack. It seems like the only games he can get right are Valkyrie Profile and Baten Kaitos...
 
That movie makes me want to sob uncontrollably. I loved the first game. I really can't wait for this one.

Star Ocean 3 and Tales of Symphonia disagree with you.

Man this reminds me...I still need to finish the first! :(


Same here... but I'm near the end now, I think... the last time I asked, demi told me I was about 10hrs. to the ending...

And I just fought
Giacomo, Ayme, and Folon
for the
3rd
and
last
time... -___________-

BTW... Supreme Ruler of the Nine Heavens is one of the best boss fight songs I've ever heard...

For this sequel I'm hoping:
- Faster battles
- No more chronometer [I want to be able to choose cards without being on a rush]

Fix that and I'm 100% sold... [if I can pick more the one Magnus after a battle, well... that's a plus ^__^ ]

Add better voice work and you'd have an amazing game.

Although I agree with you on the timed card choice I loved getting a 6 straight combo with the time limit.

I'll say it in every Baten Kaitos II thread until we get confirmation:

Nintendo better release BK II in North America. Period.
I don't think NOA is foolish enough to skip anymore first-party published titles. Heck, with so few releases left until the Revolution launches, I would not be surprised if Giftpia makes it's way out here before then.

Giftpia is coming to the EURO market isn't it?

If so, you'd THINK we'd get it... but then DOSHIN the F'N GIANT was released in Europe, yet we never saw it hit North American shores dammit!

.....

I want Doshin, bad (no, not in THAT way).

I also want Giftpia, bad (okay, MAYBE in THAT way).

Yeah... it feels nice.

No, it's not even close.

Chaotic Dance is far superior.

Pffft... I said "one of the best" not "the best"... and although Chaotic Dance is good, I prefer Supreme Ruler of the Nine Heavens.

Personally, I thought all the music was amazing. I just like Chaotic Dance because it was really unexpected and really sweet. I hope Sakurba remixes it for Baten Kaitos II when you fight Giacomo.
 
I got this from IGN:

"Sagi

"サギ (15 years old man) the boy who has another
consciousness "spirit" in heart.It makes the elite group of
empire, you belong to the dark unit.To be bright being forward,
while it has the gentle aspect, because of the money if designating
what as sacrifice the 厭 trap it is and there is a place."

Milly

"ミリィアルデ (millimeter ィ) (17 years old
woman) the girl who appears suddenly before サギ which could apply
emperor assassination suspicion.Because it has been accustomed
to the living in empire, it is the domineering thing saying, but as
for the root the kindly wise girl.It is calling and magical
school head graduation of アヌエヌエ, but the empty っ it does
magic to come.As for the weak person the character which cannot
be shot it seems, but this calls."

Guillo

"The guiro (age obscurity sex obscurity) having
been buried in the earth the strange doll which unearths in young
サギ.The appearance is entirely, but it is different from
マキナウィル, you think by your, can speak マキナウィル
which empire made and why.The numbers of mouths are few, but
when the mouth is opened, the partner being who, that poignant word is
poured."

Baelheit

"The potentate of the empire which
バアルハイト (38 years old man) and it tries it will develop the
machine weapon which is called マキナ, it will use that and it will
mechanize to control the continent.As understood from the
countenance, you think always and are cool circumstances.You
have acted on the basis of the belief of the self."

Nero

"Spirit of the legend that 憑 coming Nero (49
years old man) there is a destiny which influences the world.Military affair of empire is undertaken single-handed, military
affair official of empire.The person who is superior brain
clearly and judgement.It keeps backing up サギ of the
protagonist in the various aspects.In the past game the left
foot becomes inconvenient depending upon injury, cannot release the
stick."

Geldoblame

"ゲルドブレイム (25 years old man) Nero's
right arm.With the personality person, knowledge abundance, the
future of the empire which is the homeland the unhappy う wise man."

Fixed.


And Valkyrie Profile had maybe two or three good pieces of music, nothing more. The rest just turned into background noise because it was all done in the same generic ambient synth-rock style.

Wh...what?
 
Thanks to Sweetbriar on the offical Baten Kaitos forums, we have a translation of the first part of the movie (before the BATEN KAITOS II first flashes on the screen). She's working on the rest!

At the time that I saw that boy, I should have noticed
