Lol I remember how I could only own a Gamecube while my friend had the PS2. I was so jealous because he had Final Fantasy 10 which seemed like the best of the best at that time. Looking back and having played FFX remaster I've come to realize that I had the better RPGs with Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos.
Same, I went through several songs just to give them another listen. I’m glad Namco never forgot about the duology. It’s been so long and sparks hope for a potential 3rd game.
The game is almost criminally underrated. I fell in love with it from a demo disc a gamecrazy clerk gave me when I was buying something else. Snagged a copy as soon as I was able to and it became my all time favorite RPG
@@n1fffan Fist time I ever upvote for the right use of "underrated". Both games are gems, with clever battle system, clever storyline, exceptional artistic direction and pretty deep lore. Did you know that every location in Baten Kaitos is named after a real star except for places in Anuenue which have Hawaiian names and Mira which has a French terminology? Even Baten Kaitos itself is the name of a star in Cetus (Belly of the Sea Monster in Arabian, also known as Zeta Ceti), and it makes all the sense in the world game wise since Cetus is a whale. Speaking of Mira, it's known for its fluctuation between dimensions in the game... while in real life, Mira star (Omicron Ceti) is at times, one of the brightest stars of the sky and some other times, invisible to naked eye, on a 332 days cycle. I mean, this game is deep as fuck and got me hooked on astronomy, which is not necessarily something you expect from playing a video game.
@@tnyamaneko6093 Oh, every time I hear someone talk about Baten Kaitos in the wild, no matter which one they are talking about, I hear them say nothing but good thing, even the card based battle system, of which usually are considered the worst style in the genre was wonderful. I have had more experience with the first game than the second, but I honestly felt the battle system legitimately fun once I got the hang of it, and not once did I feel like I lost BECAUSE of the way the battle system is designed, but because of how I used it The game deserved more attention than it got among the RPG community even, and the only reason it didn't get more attention was because it was a gamecube exclusive title. I have turned others onto this game over the years, and firmly believe that it would EXPLODE in popularity were Bandai Namco to remaster them on modern consoles (not just Switch, but it definitely would find good home there)
@@n1fffan I think that at this point, we have to accept the fact that the licence is dead but it does not make the games any less awesome.. The card battle system was pretty much lambasted back in the days because in the fist iteration, it slowed the pace, but they "fixed" it in BKO, where it's much more dynamic (I dont have any issue with an uncharacteristically slow battle phase as long as it's well done, as it is in Baten Kaitos). Not even mentioning it's meant to be played from the beginning with the C stick and that a mistake in deck building can bite anyone in the ass. And forgetting that green bananas which are pretty hard and do damage when thrown at foes, become healing items after some time when they're ripe, this event having the unfortunate effect to unbalance the whole deck, keeping one on their toes about deck management. When talking about it in that way, it's absolutely deeper than the majority of RPGs battle systems. There's a whole lot of potential lost, but I do think that even if it's remastered on a newer system, it would not be commercially successful. Baten Kaitos has always been a rather niche franchise and it will always be cherished by people who did put their hands on those games, and people who acquire a proper NGC out of curiosity before realizing there's a lot of superb games exclusive to that system. I'd even say that most people know about those games because of their soundtracks rather than having the experience to play them. It's actually better that way in my opinion, as an early player of those games, I can say they are more and more appreciated among the gaming community and that the fanbase is built by hearing about it through the grapevine rather than by an aggressive advertisement campaign. It's a testament to their very real quality.
@Omegamanuel Because Motoi Sakuraba who did this track also did the track of the Star Ocean Series, Eternal sonata, Golden Sun, Valkyrie profile and Tales of. He's just amazing.
It was a new IP that looked kinda jank and outdated and honestly gave nobody a reason to be excited about it. It's a fantastic game, one of the best JRPGs ever made, but you won't know that until you play it.
Why does a green Banana 6 Damage?! Anyway, just started started the Game and as a Fan of Monolith‘s Xeno series this Game feels right at home for me. Loved the first few hours a lot
man i remember when i bought this game, i had my doubts at first, but boy it was worth every cent... i still own it, its a jewel to me, unlike the crappy "rpg" titles nowdays
Yeah! That is because is the golden sun composer too. In fact, Motoi has composed many bso, like tales saga, star ocean, goldens sun, baten kaitos and more! xd
I was getting my ass kicked by the final boss, slowly losing to his regeneration, Gibari was the last man standing, and then he got a 1-9 Rising sun combo with his ultimate finisher and one-shot its second phase.
Here you go! Here you go! Here you go! I got the game when I was young and there was no instruction booklet when I played so I kept healing the enemy :[ CHEESEBURGER!
Sakuraba's experience with the Tales and Star Ocean franchise really shows here. He did an excellent job. Now if only they didn't record the voiceover work through tin cans....
@Nightryderace actually saying something looks/sounds like something else doesnt imply the former predates the latter, only that the person is more familiar with the Former and can use it for comparison.
Megaman Sprite Game sent me here, which made me gush over Baten Kaitos' soundtrack enough to go and play it. So thanks to a Megaman derp game, something so insufferably stupid, I am now super into Baten Kaitos.
I´d like to see Kalas or Sagi in SSB4, so we can hear "the true mirror", "the valedictory elegy" as we play. And more people gets into the beauty of Baten Kaitos series.
While I agree, I think with Shulk Smash Bros is already over their quota of "RPG swordsmen characters". That said, I think it would make more sense for Lloyd Irving to make it in... (though i liked Baten Kaitos way more).
derenathor Yeah, i'm glad Shulk is in... that would help but i want to see at least a reference to this game like a trophy, maybe a track. About Lloyd i wanted him to be in, but since Tale of Symphonia: Chronicles was released only for ps3 I doubt it.
"Mighty sword, blow forth as a gust of wind! Sword Style: Blue Storm!" "You're history. Special Attack: Vanish Grenade!" "What going to happen, the Great Mizuti Not Be Sure... Arcana! Sorcerers Seal!" "Get ready for a beatin'! Destructive Power: Dragon Uppercut!" "Ready for the other side? Extreme Attack: Crescendo!" And Finally, the (ironic) icing on the cake: "Prepare to die! Magic: Sparkle of Life!" These quotes are burned into my brain.
Baten Kaitos HD ON SWITCH! OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING!
I was convinced Nintendo forgot about the games but once I heard valedictory elegy in smash I had hope and now it won’t be much longer
I am so disappointed the shitty English dub isn't coming with it tho
@@Professor-BadgerMe too. ): That was really what my hype was about-that we could hear the lame ENG dub all over again and laugh once more but nope…
@Professor-Badger Which is strange given how much better the Origins dub was.

Had to give this classic another listen, especially after the remaster was announced.
Cannot believe it's happening!
Same, I went through several songs just to give them another listen. I’m glad Namco never forgot about the duology. It’s been so long and sparks hope for a potential 3rd game.
Only took....wait, how long has it been?
Haha hell yeah brother! This shit gonna be so good!
The entire baten kaitos Ost is now officially on Spotify with high quality sound!!
Omg yes!!!
I still come back k to this every once in a while. I've heard covers and such but nothing hits as good as the original.
Right! You cannot beat the original :D
Excellent dynamic song. Unforgettable. It's a pleasure to discover it again after several years.

A Baten Kaitos remaster was just announced at Nintendo Direct!!!!!!!!!!!! It's finally happening!!!!
2から換算すると約15年近く待ってやっとリマスターした記念
This is what got me through the sheer number of battles this game throws at you.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the orchestra for this game is amazing
Motoi Sakuraba never fails to impress me
あースイッチでリマスターでもなんでもいいから出てくれないかなー
まあまだGC動くからそれやればいいんだけど、世の人々にバテンカイトスの素晴らしさを広めたい！！
良かったな！！
0:05-0:27 is the composers signature. Creating a super catchy line and repeat it. Motoi Sakuraba is gof for me!
This video is the first exposure I've had to this series. This music is a pretty good way to do it lmao
"Show me those pearly whites!"
"Say cheeseburger!"
Gibari with a camera is dangerous :P
Hahaha It Will be funny make him take photos
holy shit even all these years later this song is still hype as fuck
god i love this game
The memory of this song and game randomly unlocked a few days ago. I used this in my dnd campaign that same day.
I can hear that sound the game makes when you choose cards... I was so mad when it forced you to switch the main player mid game.
when i listen to this i realise how lucky i am having this game and the gamecube still in my room :)
My boy's coming to Switch!
Those first notes legit make me cry when I hear them out of sheer feeling of nostalgia
バテンカイトスはキャラも世界観もシナリオも音楽が良くて…RPG好きなひと全員にやって欲しくて…廃盤したゲームキューブでしか遊べないため本体ごと送りつけるしかなかったんだけど9/14になんとSwitchでリメイクしてくれる事になって……本当に本当に嬉しくて…ゲームソフトだけ送るだけで良くなった
This music is epic!
待ってた。
Not expecting toggleable remastered/rearranged music for the remastered game but day one👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can't get enough of this piece.
We're back doods. Remaster announced today!
just beautiful
Say "Cheeseburger"!
Bass slaps so hard!
Sword Style, Blue Storm!!! - Kalas
Magic! Dance of light!
NOSTALGIAAAA!
テイルズオブアライズの通常戦闘曲のコメ欄に「バテン カイトスっぽい」ってコメントが結構あったから聴きに来たw
確かに、こりゃそう言われるの納得！
boy this game, it was love on first sight!
furry ratchet Tell me about it. lol
sadly it is so unpopular!
it should be more popular
yes but sadly it's so unpopular! I want a 3th game for the WIi U! It would be perfect with the gamepad!
I still have it in great condition.
BATEN KAITOS ON SWITCH BATEN KAITOS ON SWITCH ALERT AHHHH IM DYING LOL
I played this video and the guitar version at once...unbelievable...
耳が幸せ
"You're pretty ugly, you know that?"
One of the best battle themes ever.
Best battle theme.
I can't wait to battle to this music again. Aqua Burst!
Light Flaaaaaare!
I actually liked Xelha's voice. It could have been better, but it was by far one of the better voices in the game.
Hail Motoi Sakuraba! Now i found the true GOD!
My favorite magic is Light Flare lvl8 and Shinig Seraph!
Motoi Sakuraba is the only guy who'll use a violin in his battle theme, and make it work spectacularly.
?
@@Nico-hk8eq i think they have only played baten kaitos
I mean fair the comment was 14
Years ago, maybe not as many violins in tracks as today xD but boii violins today slap in videogames
Same composer :) the Great Motoi Sakuraba.
MAY MY BLADE BE SHARP!
@Omegamanuel Because Motoi Sakuraba who did this track also did the track of the Star Ocean Series, Eternal sonata, Golden Sun, Valkyrie profile and Tales of. He's just amazing.
Lyude : Special Attack, Concerto! *Raining Bullets!* lol good time and love it
This is like 90% Star Ocean OST. Good stuff.
man I'll never understand why this game was so underrated
The best song brother
it came out in the dying years of gamecube
It was a new IP that looked kinda jank and outdated and honestly gave nobody a reason to be excited about it. It's a fantastic game, one of the best JRPGs ever made, but you won't know that until you play it.
@@Christian-rn1ur exactly
@@Christian-rn1ur I played they on the Switch now and I never thought they would be this good, what amazing games
Why does a green Banana 6 Damage?!
Anyway, just started started the Game and as a Fan of Monolith‘s Xeno series this Game feels right at home for me. Loved the first few hours a lot
It's because it's not ripe
手札事故でたまに攻撃もままならない、全体的にゆったりしたテンポ、SPコンボ待ち、逃げるカードはあれど逃げるコマンドがないせいで結構聴くことになるけど
この曲を長いことたくさん聞けるから別にいいか
Savyna was my fav i miss this game :( i wish it would come out for steam
+Alex MaGanda Yes :(! I wish Nintendo could release it again
Motoi is my favourite composer :D
Bientot un remaster sur Switch ! Vraiment hate de remettre les mains sur cette perle :)
man i remember when i bought this game, i had my doubts at first, but boy it was worth every cent... i still own it, its a jewel to me, unlike the crappy "rpg" titles nowdays
"aqua BURST" "fire BURST"
Augh the agony of having Xelha in my party =_=
The great mizuti say it much better. Wind Ah blow!
This is also the song that plays in origins when fighting Baelheit. It's the spiriter's battle music.
It's YOUR theme
桜庭さん似たような曲調多いのに差別化出来てるのほんと天才
thx very much ! ;)
Bro battle themes for old school rpgs were SOOOO good Y_Y i feel like we lost that this day in age
Such epic battle theme !..
Here before the remaster is announced.
Me too
Thanks for creating the remaster dude
The most epic battle music ever. :3
Sakuraba is God!!
Even before Dark Souls, he did a great job on this game and Golden Sun. One of my favorite.
génialissime !
これはすごいよ。見せ場がしっかりある
I love this game.
agreed
I agréé
リメイクされてもBGMは変えなくて良いと思わせるくらい好き。
This is wonderful. A less cheery version of the Valedictory Elogy from BK2. They really need to make BK3....
Yeah! That is because is the golden sun composer too. In fact, Motoi has composed many bso, like tales saga, star ocean, goldens sun, baten kaitos and more! xd
this was the only game I played on my Gamecube and actually enjoyed. Still have my disc hanging out in my room somewhere.
I was getting my ass kicked by the final boss, slowly losing to his regeneration, Gibari was the last man standing, and then he got a 1-9 Rising sun combo with his ultimate finisher and one-shot its second phase.
this game was a great experience, the first 1-9 straight feel exodia
This was me, but Lyude pulled it off... finishing with Finale the turn before he would have died from ongoing damage... whilst being confused.
Here you go!
Here you go!
Here you go!
I got the game when I was young and there was no instruction booklet when I played so I kept healing the enemy :[ CHEESEBURGER!

It's been 7 years, but we actually did get "The Valedictory Elegy" in Smash!
I am an greath fan of baten kaitos, Motoi Sakuraba is a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man this game was pretty great!
Motoi Sakuraba rocks!
Magnifico! simplemente impresionante :D
i can see the similarity between this and the battle song from star ocean the last hope. quite similar indeed
Motoi Sakuraba never dissapoints.
"Mighty sword, blow forth as a gust of wind!
Sword Style: Blue Storm!"
"You're history.
Special Attack: Vanish Grenade!"
"What going to happen, the Great Mizuti Not Be Sure...
Arcana! Sorcerers Seal!"

"Ready for the other side?

One instance instantly springs to mind...
"LIGHT FLARE! LIGHT FLARE! LIGHT FLARE! LIGHT FLARE!"
I love all the comments ^^
