Baten Kaitos Origins (Monolithsoft Retrospective)

Today we review Baten Kaitos' kind of forgotten pequel. Despite facing poor sales, Yasuyuki Honne team was keen to try their luck at a second Baten Kaitos. Now with one game under their belt could this B team get the strong sales numbers to turn Baten Kaitos in an established series?

the origins remaster not having the eng VO is such a loss.

Hey guys, I want to apologize a bit about this video. Since I wanted this video out to meet the release of the remaster I somwhat rushed the making of this video. As a result I felt like I missed a bunch of stuff that I wanted to say. Hope you guys still like the video.

Back in SSB4, I played The Valedictory Elegy by complete accident, and eventually lead to finding the Baten Kaitos series. I've been wanting to play them, but every time I reach as far as you recapped, something would happen IRL and my save would be lost.
Even with that happening a lot, I'd still find some way to play it again. The soundtrack is amazing! And though card games are a rarity for me, I never get bored due to how fast it is here.
Had I known about the series earlier, I'm confident that Sagi would've been my personal favorite RPG protagonist for years. So thank you for reviewing such an overlooked game!

Isn't that what the tags are used for in the upload section?

now we only need a remaster of Soma Bringer and the best game Monolith Soft ever created, Disaster Day of Crisis

I don't quite remember the plot, but I can't forget the mourning mistral

wow, i can't believe anyone would call the first game's cinematic "janky"! really taken aback, cuz I think Origin's is so boring in comparison (and I have no idea what it's referencing?)
The first feels like a hollywood cinematic. so lively and dramatic!

[@justinscott7546]

Do you care for a spoiler about Origins opening?

[@sbeve6559]

For real! The first game's opening cinematic never fails to give me goosebumps.

It's interesting to me that you view Guillo as a "he." I always considered Guillo female. I mean, I know Guillo is androgynous (having the souls of both a male and female) but for some reason, I get more feminine vibes lol

[@xenosanctum2531]

I defult to male pronouns. AKA Mankind = humankind.
