I overlooked this game last generation, but for some reason I've gotten curious about this franchise. I know that the GC had Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and Baten Kaitos: Origins. Do you guys have any recommendations over which one was better?
How is the pacing of the battle system? Do you end up grinding a lot, and is there a lot of time wasted waiting through animations, menu selections, and other actions inherent to turn-based battling? I used to play Magic: The Gathering, and I was wondering if the card-battling here kind of follows a similar strategic bend.
A part of me just feels like this would be a great portable game. I prefer to play the 'faster' and more intense games (i.e. Gears of War, Ninja Gaiden Sigma) on my home theater and push all the other slower-paced stuff to handheld.
