"Baten Kaitos"

Suprised no one's made a topic on this already, but tis out today. I haven't got it yet - in the last month I've bought Wario, Resi and Splitters and they've kinda left me low on cash.

Those who got it today/have already imported (Psycho Fox, WS etc.), is it worth my money? I'm an RPG fan as ye may know, but an RPG fan slightly put off by all this card fighting business. So.. verdicts anyone?

Its cool when you get to the bits in the actual game that you see in FMV in the opening movie, but there could at least be a big end FMV. The characters looked so good in the opener it's really a missed opportunity.

I'm at that stupid ice book maze thing now. It's just ridiculous and random and 0 fun, plus, I ddn't have any shish kebabs so Kalas and Gibari are out of health, so I have to use Lyude and Savyna for the big beastie fight, which is cool, except for Stupid Lyude being only class 4.

Thanks for the info btw Fox, I'll go back there. I was surprised how quickly I made it out of those stupid Labyrinths, I knew there must be something more. Also I want to go back to the cabin and get that Magnus flower thingy tha was just sitting there begging to opened.

Well the, no there aren't, but the closest you get to them are scenes where the camera takes a nose dive down to the ground just in front of the characters and the graphics look (other than being closer) are clearer than seeing them from high above.

i just did those 2 poochies too. the fire and blue one. i died the first time cause i didn't know they were bosses and had mizuti in my party(hahahah its a girl). the second time i put savyna in my party cause she has fire/water cards and she cleaned house soooooooo bad. it was a joke. one of her combos did 1600+ was so rofl. i am curious however, can anyone tell me (im looking at ur fox) if there are actually any in game FMV's? in the opening one it shows how many great parts in the story they could have used FMV's but they didn't(THOSE LAZY JAPS). im not a racist. its just the FF series remain so remorable because of the story and the way its told, namely using FMV's in key scenes.

They are slightly important but you only find out why at the very end of the game. But you do not have to do anything with them at all, talk to them if you want but it's a bit pointless unless you like that sort of thing. What you should be thinking about is getting hold of all 50 Constellation magnus cards, if you have 40 or so you can get Gibari's XIII special.

It's in the Labyrinth of Duhr called the Platter of Parting, if you need a map to help you find it easily just follow this link on Gamefaqs, but if you follow these instructions you can get there yourself. Just go back into the maze from the exit, turn right and just follow that path to the end, simple.

Yeah that is a good one, but he says that during some of his specials though. My fav as you can tell by what I have under my name is Kalas' Photo quote, sometimes he says "Say Cheese!" but he occasionally says "Say Cheeseburger!" which is so much better.

Well, Yes, there can.

Monster cards.

How on earth do you make any money if you don't take pictures, then? It's my only source of income.

I have ignored cameras and voice things. I plan to use them second time through and I am a completist so I shall be getting those extra 8 music tracks. I am absolutely loving this game and I also plan to pick up Tales as this has revived my faith in GC RPG's.

Also roll on Fire Emblem.

Yes! What's the point of them all if there isn't some sort of quest. You can't collect them for the lady in Wazn as they already have Greythornes there, she said. I wish I could have Lyude in my team along with my main 3, he is damn good, although somewhere down the line I've missed his Class Upgrade Magnus that takes him to class 5. He's still Class 4 whereas everyone else is class 5/6.

One of my favourite things is taking pictures with Gibari, and also "here's a little housewarming gift, from me...TO YOU"

I've played a lot over the last two days and there have been so many great plot turns I love it. Can there be any more? Surely not.

Just fought the Spirit Lord and boom, easy. I am really loving this game however and Gerrid, I am also convinced of a Greythorne mini game. Otherwise why would Memai have different reactions to each Greythrone?

I just did the double fight with you know who in the cabin in the alps. I neglected to save right outside, even though I knew there would be a boss inside. It was horribly easy though. After all of that I went to the Church and levelled up 8 levels. It was great. I found those 2 weird lions in sZosma tower so much harder than any of the other bosses, dunno why though. They kept dishing out 1200 damage and then freezing me and dishing out another 1200. Took me ages to do it the first time, I didnt go and save or heal any of my characters, and then I had to fight Malpercio with Savyna Mizuti and a properly mashed up Kalas. It was fine in the end I just resarted from my pre-lion save.

The game is so good, I keep thinking it's close to the end and then you get sent of on another set of massive quests to do, it's great. Anuenue is my favourite town, I think, just because of the music.
