Baten Kaitos Origins

Baten Kaitos Origins takes place 20 years before the first Baten Kaitos game. It explains how the diabolical emperor Geldoblame came to power and tells many details about the heroes from the first title. Players will also learn how the world was created and why the Lost Ocean is returning. The hero, a blue-haired young man named Sagi, was sent to assassinate the emperor, but found that the task was already done for him. He is blamed for the death and is now on the run with two friends - a robot named Guillo and a young woman named Milly. In the initial stage, the player's party moves in a linear fashion from one area to the next along a set path. After a few hours of play, players are given a ship to visit areas in the order of their choosing, either to complete optional side quests or to play through the main mission at will. Unlike traditional role-playing games, where characters level up in categories such as strength and agility, leveling up is mainly done by collecting better Magnus cards. In Baten Kaitos Origins there are more than 600 different Magnus cards, some of which have really fantastic properties. Players can acquire cards in many different ways, such as by trading, buying, as war booty or by making them themselves.
