If I actually was able to understand what you just said, I would be sort of mad that you didn't mark that for spoilers.

I'm afraid I don't have any confidence in Monolithsoft's work. I hated games with too many FMVs and Monolithsoft made one of the most boring RPG ever with Xenosaga. Seriously, you can go take a dump, take a bath, eat dinner, or do many other far more exciting things than sitting around doing nothing. Plus gameplay is the most important for me, not graphics. What does sound interesting to me is that the game does not use random battles. I hate random battles... Have to know more about the gameplay before I can decide. I heard the game is coming, just don't know when. If only people pay attention to gameplay more... *sigh* I'd give anything if Koei would make another Uncharted Waters New Horizon sequal... even if it's just a port of the second game on GBA.

Unlike in ToS, the enemies in Baten Kaitos don't move large distances, It's nearly impossible to sidestep one standing in the middle of a bridge. The overworld is very similiar to Lunar so you can just walk over to places you've visited. A lot of side quests in this game involves finding and capturing items onto cards and presenting them to whoever you're helping. About gold.....emm....**laugh everyone**..i still haven't figured out how to get gold....all I know is that monsters don't seem to drop them. After you gain enough experience you have to goto this Chapel looking area and have a priest ascend you to the next level.If you die fighting a boss, it gives you an option to restart the fight. Same with goes with ToS but in ToS, any item you've used during the boss fight you died in doesn't come back. Every action during battles are done with cards. Attack, sheild, healing, etc... all have their own specific cards. So each turn cards are randomly(i think) taken out for each character and you have to select from them. During the enemy's turn, you have to pick your shielding cards before the enemy makes the attack or else you'll get hit. If no shielding cards comes out then....emmmmm.....you're gonna take full damage. This game doesn't have a whole lot of FMV's....actually the only one I've seen so far is the intro.....so the only reason why you should be taking dumps, baths, and eating is when you open up the Sound Test menu. Heh....one of the boss fight music is real weird......it starts out sounding techno and then suddennly you hear people rapping.
