Second, many pieces of armor have an element attatched to them which will block aditional damage of that element.
First, many enemies are weak to an element (and generally strong against the opposing element). So, cards of elements must be played carefully. So, if Mizuti casts Fire Burst for 40 and Aqua Burst for 30, it will only do 10 of Fire damage to the enemy. Playing a Water spell and a Fire spell in the same turn will subtract the smaller from the larger and the remainder is the actual damage. This can work both in the player’s favor and against them. There’s one more big thing to remember during battles: each item has an element attatched to it: None, Fire and Water, Light and Dark, Wind and Chronos, with each element grouped with their opposing one. Combos also work for defending (using a helmet with 3 and a chestplace with 4 would reduce the damage), as well as healing items (playing two cheeses that are both 6’s nets an additional healing bonus). Prizes are always given in percentage, and can get quite high with the better combinations. Straights must be in order ascending or descending, and give a higher prize than pairs. So, attacking with cards that have three 2’s or 2-3-4 would both earn extra damage added on. If cards are played in such a way that the numbers make pairs or straights, the total effect for the cards played will be greater. Each card (called Magnus) has a number between 1 and 9 (though ‘9’ cards are rare).
Baten Kaitos uses a card battle system to deal even the hardiest foes defeat. Though the story is a bit on the weak side and it lacks much originality, it manages to have beautiful sound, impressive visuals, and a solid battle system.
It’s interesting to see this game on the GameCube, where few RPGs haunt and fewer good RPGs lurk. Though it seems like it may be, at first, the usual card-based RPG fare, Baten Kaitos stands out in a number of ways that other RPGs don’t. Then fly through the skies of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. Imagine these wings are created with the mien of your heart. They could even look like a peacock tail. Perhaps the wings are the typical angel’s wings, soft and white maybe they’re more like a butterfly’s. Imagine for a moment being able to soar through the sky on wings.
