It's coming out this December in Japan. And it's only for GameCube.

So nyah!

P.S. I think I may be the only person here who has actually played Baten Kaitos. Too bad. It's a pretty good game once you turn off the voice acting.

Xantarcube: Dragon, I need you to render a thief. She should be a 15-year old girl with ninja-like abilities and a knife. Try to give her a badass pose, too.
Dragon of DTT: Ok. How's this? http://www.purevideogames.net/images/Character_Art/thief_full.jpg
Mortal Kombat: Dragon. Wins. L33tality!

Dragon of DTT: Don't complain. Buy a hooker.
Xantarcube: What am I going to do with a hooker?
Dragon of DTT: Wii Sports.

Shadyshark: but adrienne may be pregnant
Shadyshark: or have cancer
Shadyshark: she's hoping for cancer


Seriously. Even I'm in my signature. Fix yours.

I'm just barely getting around to playing the first one. Yes, the voice acting is horrible. The battle system? Well, it's different, yes, but I don't think I really prefer it. I'm not that big on random, which I guess is why all those weird pen-and-paper card-based RPG games never appealed to me...

Anyway, I'm about 6 hours in, and it's a decent game so far, but it's really not all that spectacular, or at least not yet. I sorta like the idea of the Guardian Spirit, though it's a little strange to have to try to agree with the character just to make him happy. I'm afraid my bond probably won't be all that strong. I like pissing off Kalas, heh.

I am happy to hear that they are making a Gamecube exclusive sequal, though. The more RPG's on the Cube, the better, in my opinion.

Dragon: drops off all his drunk buddies at each other's ex-girlfriends' houses


Mystic Gohan: xantar has had his lasting effects on our easily influenced minds
Mystic Gohan: hes probably at home cackling as we speak


Me: Xantar never really talks unless you talk to him first.
Marci: And that will hold until he makes the first move. I've learned. Don't ever go into a Xantar conversation blind.
It's like going swimming naked. You make sure there aren't any sharks nearby and that you don't have any open wounds first.

Yes, the cards are random, but when you play any other RPG like Final Fantasy or Tales of Phantasia, the damage is random anyway. It's just that in this case, you can control it by stacking your deck. And yeah, sometimes you end up not having an attack card during your turn, but then again, Final Fantasy has you sometimes randomly missing an attack. It's all in how you stack the deck and doing some math.

Yeah, that's true. I'm just not used to it yet. It's a little strange to have to click on defensive items and worry about what element they are. I guess I'm just kind of neutral to the system. And I really REALLY hate Xelha's voice. Seriously, hearing her scream out her attacks makes me want to just kill her and be done with it. Some of the combo stuff is interesting, though I haven't figured out how to make them work. I've randomly got Hellfire a few times, and I got another one that I can't remember the name of right now, too. I just wish I had a little more time to choose my cards. It's kinda fast, if you ask me. And is it just me, or do class levels do nothing but expand your deck? I haven't seen any other changes...

OMG! I thought I was the only person in the world to play this game!

The voicing IS TERRIBLE! God... I wanted to rip my ears out. My favorite character is Slyvanna? I forget, I sold my gamecube ages ago.

She is awesome and I liked Mazumi or whoever that creepy masked girl was.

After a while of playing the battle system you get faster. The cards would evolve which was annoying when you lose all you healing items since they turned into rotten fruit. -_-*

I think using certain elements/numbers allowed use of the specials. And the closer you are to your guardian, the stronger you get. XD

I never beat the game though.
