An original roleplaying game for Nintendo GameCube from the team behind Xenosaga. The game makes heavy use of cards for everything from fighting battles to purchasing items. Cards are actually a central part of the story as well, as they are holders for "Magnus" which is short for "Magna Essence." Magnus is the true nature of all things throughout the world, including swords, magic spells and even apples that are gathered in the town in which your adventures start out. A real item can be turned into Magnus form and stored in a blank card. It can then be taken out from the card and will turn back into real form. Features detailed CG cutscenes to tell the story and turn-based battle sequences.

Also known as Baten Kaitos: Die Schwingen der Ewigkeit und der verlorene Ozean, Baten Kaitosu: Owaranai Tsubasa to Ushinawareta Umi, Baten Kaitos: Les Ailes éternelles et l'Océan perdu, Baten Kaitos: Las alas eternas y el océano perdido
