Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

I just started playing this yesterday and am about 5 hours into it now, and I think it’s an awesome game. The battle system is a little different, as your attacks, defenses, spells and healing items all come from a deck of Magnus(cards used for battle). The story is ok, but the music is absolutely badass, as it was composed by Motoi Sakuraba(Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean). The voice acting is…well…voice acting, but it isn’t altogether horrible, as I don’t mind it. I don’t want to be spoiled with the story if anyone else has played it, though.

It comes out here in the UK in a few weeks, so what is like? Again No plot spoilers!! What is the battle system like, eg ATB, Linier, active… ?

The fact that you think it’s bad ass shows you need mental help. And as a voice actor in training I call you a moron. The voice acting in BK is so poor it often sounds like it’s being spoken through a metal can. And having only played it for the first five hours you have yet to reach the unparalleled crap that is the game’s major plot twist, the final enemy and the plot resolution. Not only does it make very little sense but it contradicts itself.

It has it’s moments

I’d seen a trailer I thought it going to be simalar to Top… but nope…

I played it for a while, but stopped because these soldiers got like twenty turns in a row, and I had foolishly not saved for hours.

No, no it isn’t. Motoi Sakuraba cannot compose a different and original soundtrack to save his life. He just repackages the songs he composed with remixes and passes them off as new songs.

Yeah, what Iga said. Sakuraba is okay but mediocre doesn’t cut it for me.
