Xenosaga Episode II, Baten Kaitos Unveiled

Posted by simoniker on from the hurrah-for-unpronouncable-RPG-names dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for their article revealing the first details on Xenosaga Episode II, subtitled 'Jenseits von Gut und Bose' ('Beyond Good And Evil'), and a follow-up to the popular, if long-winded PS2 sci-fi RPG from MonolithSoft/Namco. Screenshots reveal the major characters have returned, "..and some of them have been given a more-mature look for the new game." In related news, GamePro reported on new details and screenshots from MonolithSoft's GameCube-exclusive RPG, Baten Kaitos (named after a star in the Cetus constellation), which is "set in a collection of five floating continents in the sky", and surprisingly, has a "..fighting system [which] will involve the use of cards." Both are likely, but as yet unconfirmed for release outside Japan.

    Alright, I love RPGS, but whats with this new love for card based RPGs? Are they really selling that well? Or is it just a passing fad.

    Enquiring minds want to know.
