Item Description
Two years ago, Namco surprised RPG fans with its stunning adventure of spiriters, dark gods, and island kingdoms. Now, the game's talented designers have returned to Baten Kaitos with a prequel exploring themes of corruption and betrayal amid the mysteries behind Geldoblame's rise to power, the death of an emperor, the birth of machina, and the return of the oceans.
At center stage is Sagi, a young spiriter from Hasseleh, bent on revenge for the destruction wreaked on his homeland by Emperor Olgan. But, as with any good adventure, Sagi's designs go awry, and his quest becomes greater than he could ever imagine.
To aid him on his adventure is the silver-tongued android, Guillo. Where Sagi brings steel to the game, Guillo brings magic. Rounding out the party is Milliarde, a powerful fighter armed with twin morning stars.

Great on All Fronts
While there are very few RPGs on the Gamecube (and, by extention, the backwards compatible Wii), this may be the most reliably good, completely solid RPG to be offered on the system. A fast-paced, well executed, deep game and battle system, with the best pre-rendered graphics to date, and among the best voice acting in an RPG, not just "great for an RPG". With no obviously bad traits to be found, and how it can be had for a song in today's market, why not give it your strong consideration?

GREAT SEQUAL (or PREQUAL REALLY...)
Easily as deep in scope as the first game, and a much faster battle system make this a worthy follow-up to the original. With new islands to explore, and not simply rehashed parts of the first game, there is a whole new gaming experience to be enjoyed. The three characters you play as interact well and are interesting, & the voice acting has been greatly improved over the first installment. I also should mention that this is a challenging game & requires quite a lot of strategy in certain places, particularly with some of the harder bosses. Can\'t recommend this game enough!
