Rather than weapon cards being used as attacks, they can be equipped at the beginning of a character's turn. Like the first game, attacks, equipment, healing, and the like come in the form of Magnus cards. Malpercio or not, that monster is going to get it.Īlthough many changes were made to the battle system from the first game, the basics are still the same and most of said changes are for the better. Even villains and NPCs, including several characters from the first game, are fairly fleshed-out as well. Also, although there are fewer party characters in Origins, a lot more time is spent on characterization, development, and often humorous interaction among the three. The script is well-translated, especially compared to the somewhat dry writing of its predecessor. While it has its fair share of JRPG tropes, they are used in creative, or at least not very clichéd, ways. Origin's story starts noticeably faster and stronger compared to the first game. Spiriters like Sagi are said to sway the destiny of the world, so it is perhaps not surprising that it is up to him, his puppet-like friend Guillo, and a runaway, sheltered girl Milly to stop Baelheit as well as these mysterious monsters, which seem to be linked to the ancient evil god Malpercio. Though not immediately apparent, both events are linked to the researcher and politician Baelheit and his plans to become emperor and mechanize the rest of the world, by force if necessary. According to folklore, you provide Sagi with power and wisdom, which he is going to need after having been framed for the assassination of the emperor of Alfard and encountering a strange, foul monster whose defeat seemingly sends Sagi to an unknown land. This time around, it is a young man named Sagi. Taking place twenty years before the first game, players again take the role of a Guardian Spirit, an etheral being from another world bonded to the heart of the main character. It's a shame, too, because Baten Kaitos Origins is an excellent game that improves upon many aspects of the original. Already being a prequel to an obscure GameCube RPG, Origins came out in the twilight years of the console and didn't have the benefit of riding on the coattails of another, more popular game from the same publisher ( Tales of Symphonia). Several early boss fights cannot really be beaten.īaten Kaitos Origins came out a mere two years after the original Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, and it largely passed under people's radars. Faces on character models are virtually nonexistent. which still take about one minute on average.
