I just saw the opening vid. I realized I had a clip of Baten Kaitos on this free gift of a dvd, but I never watched it since I thought it was months old, and only would have a crappy grainy japanese clip. I was quite impressed by the opening video, but some bits of it seemed to well, cheesy. That little waddling man seemed to much like a pantomime villain (espesh when he said: "End magnus? Never heard of it." God, I half expected someone to go "Oh yes you have!" "Oh no I haven't!") Some of the other dialogue sucked too.
But a fabulous opening scene. Namco do those, I suppose. Soul Calibur 2, Tales of Symphonia, and now Baten Kaitos. Shame it is the only flashy video in the game, I was looking foward to the facial expressions. I loved it when Xelha rolled her eyes at the fortune teller, nuzzled Meemai, made a lovey-dovey face at Kalas and fled from those pursuing guards. Nothing that detailed pops up in the real time cutscenes I trust? No lovely facial expressions.
