She pops up out of nowhere to save Sagi and Guillo from some soldiers, and ends up forcing her way into the party. The daughter of a wealthy Imperial family, Milly (voiced by Shanelle Workman) is sociable and elegant, but also energetic and a surprisingly compotent fighter. Guillo is sarcastic and occasionally seems amoral, but is absolutely devoted to Sagi. It is a curious creature, having both male and female mannerisms while clearly being neither in fact, it has a voice actor (Terrence Carson) and a voice actress (Maura Gale) who speak at the same time, giving a creepy but awesome effect. Sagi found it buried in the forest outside his hometown. Guillo is a.something.that has been Sagi's best friend for years. He is a major Momma's boy, and often thinks about how he can help her out. He's fifteen years old, but was selected as a member of a lord's private guard due to his powers as a Spiriter. Sagi (voiced by Crawford Wilson) is the hero of our story, and he's a typical nice guy slow to anger, friendly and compassionate. One thing worth noting is that we can name the Spirit, but unlike Eternal Wings we cannot pick the gender this spirit is automatically assumed to be male, presumably because that allows the voice actors to more easily substitute pronouns for the name. The game handles this surprisingly well, and the characters treat you as a part of their group but still act on their own accord. The main character has a Guardian Spirit that accompanies him, with the idea being that this spirit is you/us, the player. The good news is that the game fully heals you after every fight and lets you Retry when you fail boss battles a function I will be using quite regularly, I imagine. I will be posting supplemental videos so you can hear the voice acting if you like, some of it really is worth hearing.Īnother key difference is that, while Eternal Wings was generally laid back with only a few particularly difficult fights, Origins can and will crush you if you give it even the slightest opportunity even the random mobs can be alarmingly difficult.
First of all, Eternal Wings had famously bad voice work, while Origins has perhaps the best voice acting I've encountered in a video game. Origins stands out form Eternal Wings in a few key areas. These cards, called magnus, are even ingratiated quite well into the plot proper and function as an inventory system as well.īut enough about the series, let's talk about this game specifically. The games are also famous for having card-based battle systems or, more specifically, for having card-based battle systems that are actually good. Both games also have excellent soundtracks which are an integral part of the experience, and I will be posting songs through the updates for your listening pleasure. Each island has its own culture and style, and overall I feel that the game does a great job of establish a fascinating and wonderful world. In this setting, there are several islands which float in the sky, over the poisonous Taintclouds that cover the Earth. The Baten Kaitos world stands out as being a particularly beautiful place, having some of the strongest graphics you'll ever see from the Gamecube and fantastic art direction and creativity in general. It has many famed companies behind its creation, such as Namco, Monolith, and the good people of Tri-Crescendo. This game was released in 2006 as a prequel to Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, and like its older sibling it is a Gamecube exclusive RPG, making it a rarity in itself.
