And by the end of the game, i think i liked Sagi more than Kalas from the previous game. I think Rex is better but they're like the same kind of character when you think about it. If i were to compare him to another Monolith Soft protagonist, the easiest comparison would be to Rex. Sagi himself gives off a basic first impression but he's pretty likable. It's honestly amazing how this puppet was written with so much personality and so many great lines.

A lot of their lines are very based and their interactions with the other two members of the duo, especially Milly, can be hilarious. The thing about Guillo is that despite not being comic relief, Guillo is just naturally funny. Guillo is not only the best character in the Baten Kaitos duology but one of Monolith Soft's best characters. And as side note, both Xenoblade 2 and Baten Kaitos Origins' cast are on the same level for me. Xenoblade 2 is like the only other example that avoids character irrelevancy syndrome and that game's main cast is much bigger. The amount of JRPGs that make it's entire party feel relevant is honestly pretty small. By just having three characters in the party, Baten Kaitos Origins is able to avoid this completely. I'm not saying bigger casts can't work, but one of the main problems of JRPGs is what i like to call character irrelevancy syndrome, where some characters just feel less relevant than others. Sagi, Guillo, and Milly all have great character moments and interactions because the writing could focus on them. If you're someone who likes switching up parties, sorry, but trust me when i say that just having three characters works so much to this game's benefit. That's right, there are only three playable characters in the entire game. Baten Kaitos Origins does something bold with it's cast: there are only three. I kept playing because this game has one of my new favorite casts in gaming. By the time i reached Disc 2, i had pretty much accepted that the combat system was not one i was ever gonna get used to.ДЄnd yet, i kept playing. Origins making the decision to have everyone share the same deck did not mesh well with me and as a result, i ended up finding it more restrictive. In particular, i missed the freedom i had in Eternal Wings. Origins' combat is technically fine but the stuff i liked about the combat in the previous game is gone. Eternal Wings' combat was pretty good, if flawed, and i wanted to see a refinement of that. My problem with the combat is that it's just.not what i wanted. It makes sense mechanically and there are even bursts of adrenaline rush when you manage to pull off a big combo. I think Baten Kaitos Origins is a perfect example of why characters are so important.Д«ut let's start at the beginning with the gameplay. Not in a 'i've come this far, might as well' way but i finished it because i wanted to. Because as far as the game side of it goes, it didn't really work for me. Players can acquire cards in many different ways, including trading, buying, winning as spoils of war or by creating them themselves.Д«aten Kaitos Origins is a weird game for me. There are more than 600 different Magnus cards in Baten Kaitos Origins, some of which have truly fantastical properties. Unlike traditional RPGs, where characters gain levels in categories such as strength and agility, the majority of leveling-up occurs by procuring better Magnus cards. After playing the game for a few hours, players will acquire a ship that lets them visit areas in the order of their choosing, allowing them to either pursue optional side quests or blast through the main mission as they see fit. In the initial stages, the player's party will progress in a linear fashion, moving from one area to the next along a set path. Blamed for the death, he's now on the run with two friends - a robot named Guillo and a young woman named Milly. The hero, a blue-haired young man named Sagi, was sent to assassinate the Emperor but found the job had been done for him. In addition, players will learn about the origins of the world itself and why the Lost Ocean is returning. It explains how the diabolical Emperor Geldoblame rose to power, and it also fills in many details about the heroes from the first title. Baten Kaitos Origins takes place 20 years before the first Baten Kaitos game.
