Huh? Those games never came out in Australia?

Nope, but we know deep down Square loves us. Just a little less than everyone else.

Well i never saw any xenosaga or final fantasy advertising here.

I definitely don't remember seeing any xenosaga advertising. I can't remember about Final Fantasy.

Hey. I just saw trailer number 3 for this game on gametrailers.com and they already had a character speaking English. When is this game supposed to come out? It looks so polished already.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #105 on:** November 30, 2003, 02:49:18 PM »

Well Berny, it's already out in Japan (or just coming out... one or the other). It's due out here in North America sometime in the next year.

Berny · « **Reply #106 on:** November 30, 2003, 02:51:02 PM »

Out in Japan already? I am so behind the times. (sarcasm) I am never going on a vacation again. (/sarcasm)

KDR_11k · « **Reply #107 on:** November 30, 2003, 08:54:14 PM »

No, it's not out yet.
By the way, Himeya also has the Dengeki charts on the front-page. Atsumare! seems to be selling really well...

Im pretty excited about this game, I think it could be a winner for the CUBE.

I dont know about this game , It wont be no FF but I really am undecided , dont know why ...This game seems to have something missing in it...hmmm

Skyman_Welks · « **Reply #110 on:** December 13, 2003, 08:26:01 AM »

Is it out in Japan yet?

At first I wasn't too thrilled with the card system either, but now I think it looks pretty interesting. I was wondering, does anyone know where I can find a picture of the Japanese box art?

I'll definitely be getting both ToS and this!

Berny · « **Reply #111 on:** December 13, 2003, 08:44:46 AM »

Just thought you all might like to know that the intro to Baten Kaitos is up on gametrailers.com
It is excellent.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #112 on:** December 13, 2003, 09:10:55 AM »

Thanks Berny. I haven't had much time to check out GameTrailers recently. I have to say that I was quite pleased (and surprised) that the voice acting was in English, and quite high in quality. This game is still my most anticipated game. My god it looks cool.

Also derived a new avatar from it.

the cinematics look amazing- and did anyone check out the battle video they have on gametrailers?
the battle system looks great- from what i see, its a turnbased system, you choose attack cards and try to link them for combos to do extra damage- and the game seems like it tries to keep you on your toes as you have to choose cards for defense as well to minimize damage recieved- looks pretty cool to me- i agree with grey- this is my most anticipated rpg and game for next year

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #114 on:** December 13, 2003, 09:42:35 AM »

well, I did watch the battle system movie, but I couldn't really figure out what was going on... It does look like a very good and innovative system, but I think I will have to sit down and play with it to really know for sure.

I did really like the music in the game, and the fast battle load times though. Xenosaga drove me nuts with its load times...

For once , you and I agree on something.

Those trailers are awsome , I really regret what I said before. I am suprised that some English voice acting has already been done...maybe we will get it sooner than we think.

The battle looks ingenious , My only problem is that it seems the battles take long. Anyway , this is by far the best gfx game on the gamecube.

P.S Is there a way for me to save those videos ?

I assume you're asking about the Quick Time movies, they are just a bit more tricky to save. For the WMV movies just right-click on the link and choose "save as..".

For the Quick Time movies you need to view the HTML source of the frame that contains the movie, find the link with the "mov" extension and compose the URLS for yourself, or just right-click on the following links and choose "Save As...":

Thanks ghostiv. I hope the game comes out in Australia.

rpglover · « **Reply #118 on:** December 13, 2003, 02:46:26 PM »

well i watched the battle system movie again and i think i sort of can explain how the system itself works
it's a turnbased system so you get your turn, then the enemies get to attack and so on...
basically battles seem to start with your turn first, and you have a limited amount of time to select your attacks (based on the cards delt to you)- i would say you get to order your cards, but it seems like they are reshuffled every turn so you must make use of what you have- you try to string cards together in your time frame to form combo attacks and do more damage, but after attacking, it seems like they try to keep you on your toes, so you have to choose cards for defense as well- basically you must choose the cards before the enemy's attack takes place- then the enemy attacks you- based on the defense you choose, you could limit the damage you take- this is all shown on the screen after every attack- it shows how much damage the enemy inflicted on you, then it shows next to it the damage taken away based on your card choice- it seems like a very interesting system indeed and i hope this game comes out in america- i really want to play it

If what you say is true it sounds VERY interesting and fun. I hope it turns out that way.

I don't really like the style of the game very much. I like more lighthearted games as opposed to dark and serious ones.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #120 on:** December 13, 2003, 03:14:53 PM »

The battles seem a bit too long for my taste...I do like the overworld look, though...

Berny · « **Reply #121 on:** December 13, 2003, 04:01:42 PM »

I for one, am very please with how this game is looking. The battles look...unique. I won't judge them until I actually use them.

EDIT: Oh yeah, one more thing. How can a take a frame from a streaming video and make it an image?

akdaman1 · « **Reply #122 on:** December 13, 2003, 06:46:58 PM »

True , I wont judge the games battle system until I use it . I really like the voice acting as well . I am with Knowsnothing on this ( we have alot in common ...unfortunently for you ) , I enjoy light hearted games more than these serious games...but I think we can let out one exception ey ?

ghostVi · « **Reply #123 on:** December 14, 2003, 01:01:41 AM »

Print Screen? If it doesn't work then most probably the movie player is using a DirectX surface to display the video. In this case you'll need a little program called SnagIt that does the job.

Baten Kaitos looks like an excellent RPG. Definetly on my must-have list.
