"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?

Been playing through the opening of FFVII again. It really doesn't hold up well over time - the whole story>gameplay thing is really evident. But it makes me want to play a niec new RPG. Mmm hopefully BK should arrive tomorrow.

Lol, it's a patetic move if you think about it but fun to watch all the same for an enemy attack. I just laugh whenever she uses it coz I know she won't do any major damage to me even without any guards whatsoever.

Some of the boss fights in BK are real nasty.


Although the two times you fight the uber trio, at least one thing keeps me happy.

CRAZY RABBIT!!

Um I'd have to say the hardest and mos satisfying boss battle I've managed to beat was Duhallan in Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age, he was in the secret Djinn dungeon after you found all 72 Djinn from both games. Now he was a really difficult and memorable boss coz he always found ways to screw up your attack plans at the last minute, and you wuld always be at a disadvantage to him even if you trained up to the maximum level of 100 (which I did a few times in that game as I knew a great technique for training).

Sure you didn't just push the stick in a little bit when you started the GC up? Because it resets the analogue positions every time you turn in on.

aawww my faithful purple controller just broke =(. not entirely but i just realised in baten kaitos kalas doesn't always run, sometimes he just starts walking. the joystick has just had too much i think. man that sucks :P i have to play with old blackie now. anyone else had any problems like this?

ooohhhh i can't wait =) i just fought mr tree which was kinda 3 characters but not really. i just met the great mizuti and just went to candyland!! yum. although the bosses in this game have been great i think a classic RPG needs really memorable bosses(actually not just RPG that goes for games in general really). fox whats ur fave boss ever?

So Tam have you battled against a 3 character boss fight yet? If not then prepare to be surpised when you end up getting your first "Try again, Yes?, No?".

Oh btw I managed to beat that guy I was on about, but right after him is an even tougher cookie (mostly coz of his enormous HP (at least 1500hp more than the last guy which was 7700hp) and his annoying 7-8 (yes you heard me correctly) hit paralysis and energy drain attack combos that he does about every turn once you get to about half way.

lol =) i wrote something similar to that for my BK review but i had to shorten it to 3000 characters(damn u SR!). hey fantasy whats ur fave boss ever in an RPG?

Bosses like that are what RPGs are all about.
You're skipping along merrily, and then some big fat cocker comes out of nowhere and pounds you into poorly-leveled nothingness.

Then you go and level up for about a week, return and dish out some of that oh-so-creamy revenge.
