About the Game

Wings of the Heart Take Flight Once More

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos Origins are now on Steam with improved graphics and new features to aid game progression, making them even easier to play!

Delve into the world of Baten Kaitos as you strategize with the unique card-based battle system in these two immersive RPG masterpieces. Play as a guardian spirit who guides the colorful cast as they struggle against destiny itself.

A long time ago, there was a great conflict between the evil god and the people. After a fierce battle, the people managed to seal off the evil god, but what was left behind was only a desolate land. The people thus chose to abandon the land and live in the sky.

Such fairy tales were passed down as legends. At this time, people had wings called Wings of the Heart and lived a peaceful life. It was an era of long-lasting tranquility. ...But the collapse had quietly begun.

When a young man calls your name, the name of the spirit, the story begins to unfold. A story set on a floating continent in the sky, where thoughts and prayers intersect.

• Unique Magnus Battle System
In the world of Baten Kaitos, the true essences of all manner of things, including equipment and items, can be extracted and stored inside cards called magnus. A magnus' contents can be released at any time, returning the magna essence sealed inside to its original form.

These magnus form the basis of the Baten Kaitos battle system.
Battles run in real time, so you'll need to employ quick thinking to select the right magnus for the situation.

Strategize against enemies of various elements using elemental magnus of your own,
and experiment with mixing and matching different magnus to discover and unlock powerful combo attacks!

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean Extremely fun and semi-unserious game. Not that the story isn't serious, but sometimes the English dialogue (and it's accompanying voice over, via mods) rolls off as a fun, cheesy, light hearted 90s anime, complete with killing a dead corrupt god. The visuals are still amazing to behold - all beautifully detailed pre-rendered backgrounds from the GameCube era that make exploring the world fun and mesmerising that transitions to it's sequel. Hearing Kalas shout "Say Cheeseburger!" when playing the Camera card never fails to get a laugh out of someone when streaming this game for others to watch. Combat is a bit more complex, but unrefined, as someone who played Origins (2) before playing the first game. Scoring a combo of spirit cards in either 'x of a kind' or a 'straight' feels extremely rewarding and tends to out-scale assorted attack card strings later in the game. However, the game's inherit Trust system tends to break your combo oft...

Back then J-rpgs where build with so much attention to detail, so unique and surprising. To me Baten Kaitos is just as good as something like FF9. great story, so many things to discover and enjoy, the world and it's people feel alive and react to the stories progress. And I love, love, love the colorful prerendered graphics, which remind me of Chrono Cross. I wish someone would bring this style back!

As good as I remembered, and with several QOL features/cheats to help out. Only real complaint is the lack of both voice tracks (only the original Japanese is used) and the classic Japanese A/B (X/O) button swap.
