An original roleplaying game for Nintendo GameCube from the team behind Xenosaga. The game makes heavy use of cards for everything from fighting battles to purchasing items. Cards are actually a central part of the story as well, as they are holders for "Magnus" which is short for "Magna Essence." Magnus is the true nature of all things throughout the world, including swords, magic spells and even apples that are gathered in the town in which your adventures start out. A real item can be turned into Magnus form and stored in a blank card. It can then be taken … More

Ali eterne e l'oceano perduto

Bellissimo JRPG con fondali ivacissimi, una trama innovativa e interessante e protagonisti carismatici, gioco ricco di colpi di scena e buon ritmo di narrazione. Gameplay interessante con il sistema delle carte, peccato per la casualità delle stesse, in quanto non potevo incatenare vari attacchi a causa di carte inutili. Ottimo doppiaggio (versione Undub) Voto: 9/10

When I think about all of the shortcomings of this game it all just falls away because this was the gen 6 rpg with the most swag hands down.

Day 19: Baten Kaitos is getting a remaster and that's good news considering the dreamy soundtrack. (

)

I was debating whether to post a calm piece like this or one of several epic boss battle tracks. Check out the whole soundtrack for those.

I hear a lot of rumors these days about this game getting a remake/remaster... Here's hoping. When I was a kid, I did not really have Final Fantasy games or most of the other popular JRPG series, but I did randomly have this and really liked it. Turns 20 this year along with a bunch of other GameCube games I used to play a lot, which makes me feel sliiiightly old. I say "slightly" just to soften the blow for all the people here who are 10 or 20 years older than me. Sorry.

A card battle system in an RPG that I actually liked! Additionally, the world building and music were spectacular even if the voice acting was uh...questionable.

Made it to the Airship Goldoba years ago near the beginning of disc two, but kinda screwed myself over and lost my data.
