Developed by Monolith Soft, Baten Kaitos : Origins is a JRPG that I've been meaning to play for a long time now. Finally I got a chance to chew on this 45 + hour game.
Origins is a prequel to Baten Kaitos : Eternal Wings and The Lost Ocean and I'll do my best to compare them but not take the spot light away from Origins as it is its own game worthy of talking about among the greatest jrpgs.

Man this brings me back. Thanks for reviewing such old games in 2021 -- I'm so glad I can look back and see updated perspectives on the stuff that I played as a kid. Keep it up :)
thanks man
it took me 10 years to realize it but apparently they sold me the origins disks inside the eternal wings and the lost ocean case. I was a kid but i always wondered why i never saw the scenes on the back of the case, even though i finished the game. And why the disk said origins on it when the case doesn't say that. But they both said baten kaitos so i figured that was probably how it was. Either way, i loved origins and i booted it up just now for another playthrough
The lore from "Origins" is so much important for the first game "Eternal Wing and the Lost Ocean", especially because we learn the "true" identity of Malpercio (antagonist from Eternal Wing and the Lost Ocean). I was quite mind blown by that. Can't wait for the HD Remaster! :)
I don't know how I feel about the malpercio thing
@@DSan-kl2yc I was clearly not expecting that ahah 😢
just beat it for the first time today.
Got it in 2005.
Sweet I know thats a long journey 😂 what did you think?
@@BadgersGameRoom Loved every second of it my guy
This game was the first JRPG I ever played as a kid growing up, and quickly became my favorite game of all time, and it still is. I love the combat, the art, the voice acting, the story, all of it. I'm really glad someone is drawing more attention to this game so many years later, and I hope Nintendo miraculously ports it to the Switch (the touch screen system would be PERFECT for the card based combat).
As for my strategy, I usually made elemental decks for each major dungeon/boss battle, then a general deck that specialized in nothing to get through the rest of the game. I also found armor to be far, far less necessary in general gameplay, as you'll eventually get cards that make your attacks hit harder and you'll heal more, coupled with the auto heal between battles meaning you can often play a bit or recklessly than in the original. I love this game to death, and I'm so happy to see someone review it now. Thanks!
I love hearing about people's first jrpgs! I found it easier to setup decks in the first game as far as elements. I feel like origins is more about offense however you can get it done.
Also there's rumours monolith is going to release these on the switch 🤞
Hey there’s a remaster coming for both games
im still searching for a game with a combat system as good as this one was. This game was such a gem. fortunate to still have both original copies of this game as well as the first one in good condition. sadly, i wrote in the notes section from the first one because i was 10 and couldnt remember the codes you needed on that airship level haha
Such a wholesome comment.
@@olivejhin95 im still holding on to hope for a third game. haha
Ayo, my favorite game getting a review in 2020s? Lets go
Yup! Had to cover both games
Omg… this brings back soooo many memories. Thank you for this.
I'm here for ya! 👍
Just got my old GameCube from my grandmas house, found disk 1 and 2 of this in great condition in the games binder we had, excited to give it a try, never played it when I was younger
Sweet find! Even just the discs are expensive
@@BadgersGameRoom yeah I saw that! Gonna see if I might be able to find the case and manual for sale, having a hard time though sadly
One thing I love about this game is that it reintroduces you to people and places from the first one in such a way, that it lets you fall in love with side characters that, in the first one, are irredeemable villains. Geldeblame is one such character for me. I don't mind having insight into evil characters or liking them, as long as the groundwork for their villain arch is in tact. Malpercio's origin is awesome and explains a plothole from the first game in regards to the character pulling the strings and their connection to the evil god.
I love the original, but I found Origins to be a or redundant with all of the reused assets. Also I didn’t like the new combat. I felt I could never watch it play out, it was so frantic. I understand how the first game’s combat is seen as too slow, but I don’t personally feel that the combat in Origins was the answer.
For me, I always filled up my deck to capacity with a full 60 cards. To hell with this "streamlined" thing, mixing and matching cards and finding out how they all work together is part of the fun of this game. You don't have a good hand? Discarding is easy, makes your next turn come much quicker, and good dialogue choices mean the card you want can appear all on its own.
I also always made seperate decks for each of the elements, and paid close attention to the field guide so I'd know which ones to use.
I played origins before the first game not realizing it was a prequal, I got hit hard with shock trying to play the actual first game #$%^ Giacomo, and I never beat the first one sosummer of this year is going to make me so happy.
I did the same thing! I think it made the experience even better. I'm just sad they're removing the english voice acting.. the voice actors put some much effort into it
@@mork0213 yea people keep saying it's bad. But origins is good. And the original had a good sounding, appropriate main cast.
Great Video for a great game. I loved it so much back then on the cube.
Thanks for watching!
This is my first comment in maybe ten years. I adore this game and have played it to completion at least 5 times..but now my gamecube is dead…lupus. If you havent had the chance to experience it, please reach out to nintendo and tell them wanks they need to bring it back to switch or whatever console they come out with next. Homie done a great job explaining the game, thank you, homie. Let’s rally, y’all, let’s get a re-release, damnit im desperate. Love you all, thanks for being here.
im honored! I have been hearing for years now that the series might come to the switch but i don't know anymore...thanks for the kind words!
This is the only video on the internet that shows you how to play. THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks!
I sadly had to sell my copy a while ago, and since I live in Europe it's not possible for me to play it anymore without also buying a Gamecube and a Freeloader, so this is one of those games I'll only be able to replay when (and if) they finally re-release it for modern consoles. I really hope they do, this was a really cool and unique RPG that is almost on par with the first one, and I wish more people got to check it out.
Hey I like your profile pic! There's been rumors Monolith is going to release a collection on the Switch so you still might get a chance to play it again!
@@BadgersGameRoom Lol, I honestly didn't even think about it when I posted my comment. Really hope those rumors of a Switch collection turn out to be true, these games definitely need more attention!
Make sure to check my review of the original "Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean"... the first game in the series.

I have the strangest form of nostalgia with this game because i vividly remember the fact that I definitely played this game a lot on my game cube at like 10 years old, but at the same time I remember absolutely NOTHING about it 😂
I wish this come back
love this game. where i got my tag from
We're are well into the 2020s and there are still reviewers who think you have to spoil story elements in order to review a game 🤣🤣Nice review other than that though.
hi dude . baten kaitos origins is a masterpierce !!! the better battle system ever !!! the best game of monolith software for me...
My only issue with this game is the Holoholo Bird softlock.
Yoooooooo how about that new Direct
They dropped GEMS today
Ngl, I wasn't a fan of the single deck style for this game.
God I dispise this battle system!! Mindless boring! The first game is absolutely amazing and engaging!
Really? I think the first one is too much micro management. The second one is superior for me. Fast and full of action.
The first one system is so damn slow and you cannot target multiple enemies. Nah I think the second is the better one.
@@real_Furryratchet i don’t play jrpgs for “action” 😝
