Bandai Namco registers new trademarks for Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos Origins in Europe

Before Monolith Soft created Xenoblade, the developer worked on a number of other titles. Baten Kaitos was one brief RPG series the studio was known for. The original game as well as its prequel – Baten Kaitos Origins – were GameCube exclusives. This was back when Monolith Soft was with Bandai Namco.

The Baten Kaitos IP has been dormant since Origins released in 2006. There were some talks about a DS entry that never came to be, but that’s pretty much it.

It’s interesting then that new trademarks have surfaced in Europe. Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos Origins were both filed today. That doesn’t exactly mean that they’ll be rereleased or that Bandai Namco has any plans for the series, but we would certainly welcome HD remasters on Switch if that were to ever happen.

So I was messing around with my emulator and I noticed something about the models in this scene

“Everyone lives with contradictions of some sort or another… The desire to be sincere and loyal to others and the urge to drop everything, lie back and care about nothing. We want to be free, but also want to stay secure. We want to protect someone dear to us, but at the same time, we simply want to abandon them. We want to live on, but also want to give up and die. Love, and hatred… Melodia and Kalas. If she is Malpercio’s curse to the world, Kalas must be his prayer.”

~~~ Wild card! Xelha, from one of my absolute favorite video games ever, Baten Kaitos. And once again, I’m not much of a video game person, so you know I’m serious when I say a video game is a favorite. <3 Baten Kaitos is tremendously unique. Not only is the game play both fun and challenging, the story itself is beyond strong and engaging. There’s more than a few twists and surprises, which is very different from your usual run of the mill video game. The characters are well developed, complete with strengths and weaknesses. And in addition to strong storytelling, the visual style of the game is also something special (very Moebius-esque). I absolutely adore this game, and it’s one of very few that I enjoy replaying.

“Either way, you are yourself. That’s what counts. How you were born is unimportant. It’s the same for anybody. We don’t choose to be born. We simply realize, one day, that we’re here… That we exist.”
