Exchord | Baten Kaitos - "New Game +" and Voice Swap Glitch @Exchord | Uploaded November 2016 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
While looking for Baten Kaitos glitches on Nicovideo, I stumbled upon this video: http://www.nicovideo.jp.am/watch/sm26386758
When you get a game over or refuse to retry a battle, some progress data is not cleared and can be transferred into a new playthrough:
- Camp screen: cursor position, expanded menus, settings
- Unlocked music
- One-time sales in shops
The lack of voices actually makes the intro cutscene shorter since you don't have to wait through the voice clip for the first text box.
When attacking or defending in battle, Kalas will take on the voice of whatever character was the first party member at the time of the game over. This effect does not persist through saving and loading, and is apparently also fixed when you encounter the first boss.
If you die to Malpercio 1 with maskless Mizuti as your first party member and start a new playthrough, the game will freeze (though I don't know how this would work since the game apparently forces Kalas to be the first character in that battle?). "It is possible to avoid this freeze by going through the game on disc 1 before using it" - Google Translate. I'm not sure if this just means playing all the way up to that point without ever saving and loading.
I am not planning on doing any research on this glitch outside of what I've seen on Nicovideo. I only documented this here so whoever is interested in Baten Kaitos glitches can find it and mess around with it.
