ill probably end up getting it because i kinda enjoyed the first BK. But damn i wish it was a sequel and not a prequel. I wanna know what happens to everyone after the end of BK 1.

Notice the Breasts.
::EDIT::
Is this one going to be card based too?

Not to mention this game looks FUGLY where as the original was TEH HAWTZ.

this "screen shot", if you can call it that, is classical uber anime g-a-y-ness.
Sorry had to say it. It needed to be said.
On second thought, i dont think ill buy this game. We'll just end up with another BK on the Rev if it sells too well. We need RPGs but certainly not anything that looks like the above picture. That "ninja" is embarassing.

But really, why do you get mad when Japanese developed games come out with the style of Japanese animation? You think its a fad over there or something?
Or do you think at all?

...why do you still post here?
Anyway, I loved the first, and very much hope that the second is localized and released in the states.

I simply state my opinions. you never see me say why do you post here when others state their opinion. And i strongly disagree with some here. Look at killers bees statement regarding that ninja. There is nothing cool about the ninja but i didnt trip off him. Thats his opinion. and its all good. I understand the addage "different strokes for different folks" Which is great.
I try to spark conversation on how Nintendo can improve overall in the US. I get agitated Not necessarily because its a Anime style game, but the fact that the anime style game shows an accomodation to the japanese market. We all know that part of nintendos lack luster performace these last two generations was due to its disregard for the US market. Look at MS. They do great here in the US but poorly in Japan. Thats cause they cater to us. Now as a gamer who would you want Nintendo catering to us or them? Well they have been catering to Japan and because of this i go to stores and there are walls for xbox and ps2 and i have to ASK where is the GC section. I dont know why, but at times its embarassing. I can see a person in Japan with an xbox going to a store and see wall to wall Ps2 and Nintendo and have trouble finding the section for his/her system. Im sure it embarassing for him too. MS is trying very hard to correct this and im hoping Nintendo does too.
Yes nintendo needs more third party support. But games looking like this screen shot is not helping their cause. Look at PS2, they have many Anime games. And they outsell everyone both here and Japan. Thats because they cater to both markets and they do this very well. Ps2 has all kinds of games, well balanced. Meanwhile, Nintendo cancels Retros Raven Blade and deliver us Fire emblem and Crystal chronicals...I personally forgive them cause we got the Prime series but its no wonder why they are third here. They could have gave us Prime and Raven Blade, cheap bastards.
Anyway i know i can state my point offensively. Its just me. I mean no disrespect to those who grew up and love anime. I respect that. But understand that many people do not or at least do not prefer it. I didnt grow up on anime and I happen to express that view a lil more forcefully thats all. Just ignore me if you dont like it. I am certain at times others here agree with me, albiet not all the time.
BTW i will not retract my statement regarding the screenshot. That ninja is retarded looking at best. If thats what i have to look forward in BK 2 then im going to have to scratch it from my buy list. Ill keep my fingers crossed for Raven Blade on the Rev....definetly wont hold my breath
sorry for the rant.
Peace Nosferatu

I hope so because a sequel shouldn't take away such an important element of the game. The card haters have enough other RPGs to play.
I post here cause no one has asked me not to.
I'd consider having a word caught by the swear word filter asking me not to.
Well they have been catering to Japan and because of this i go to stores and there are walls for xbox and ps2 and i have to ASK where is the GC section.
Must be just you, every half decent (i.e. not Kaufhof) store has the GC section right next to the other consoles and PC games.
Meanwhile, Nintendo cancels Retros Raven Blade and deliver us Fire emblem and Crystal chronicals...
No, they cancelled Raven Blade and gave us Metroid Prime. Fire Emblem and FFCC had nothing to do with Retro.
They could have gave us Prime and Raven Blade, cheap bastards.
I don't think half of Retro's staff was sitting idly while Prime was being made. Had they made RB at the same time I doubt Prime would have been as good.

If you're looking for Americanized RPGs, you should be playing PC - or maybe Xbox, although most of it's RPGs wind up on PC anyway.
Anyway, about the game. If this is a prequel, that would work for me, seeing as I missed the first one! I can't view the screenshots right now, so I have no comment, the art looks nice, although I'm not crazy about the BK character designs.

Why can't all RPG's use that type of battle system? It takes away from the monotnous of it all.

Looks like a lot of the same items, err... cards, are returning from the first game. Still, I hope this game is much harder at the end then the first, as that was a real let down for me.

Baten Kaitos 2 (NGC) -?8/9/8/9 - (34/40)
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on February 15, 2006, 02:36:12 PM
The Toys R Us store in my home town is closing down, and they've been clearing out stock with 30-50% discounts. Of ALL the games [still] there, Baten Kaitos outnumbers them in terms of amount in stock. Around 30 healthy copies lying on the shelf. (LOL)
In contrast, there was 1 copy of Killer7 left during the same visit, and even Shrek Super Slam was on its way out too.

I looked through the screens and stuff, and saw something interesting. Battels in an arena. Sort of plebian I know cuz it doesn't matter too too much where battles take place, but what if they were to mix in a battle arena where you can battle for fun/maybe xp/to get special items from combos, anytime you want, and the creatures in the arena would increase in difficulty compared to your own level. If they do that, I won't kill anyone cuz i'll be far too elated.

You know, Professional 666, that particular ToysRus most likely didn't order that many Killer 7 copies and could have ordered too many Baten Kaitos games. At my Sam Goody store we got a whole bunch of crap from the wharehouse of crap that they had overstock on and we have been selling for our store closing. So you know there are many reasons why or why not something didn't sell well.
Anywho i don't mean to get in your face or anything but im bored....LOL.
