Fridge Brilliance

• The audio of for the voices in the first Baten Kaitos game is recorded strangely, so it sounds like the actors are speaking through cardboard tubes. This is supposed to emulate the player (who is an actual character) listening on on their conversations from another dimension. In the prequel, Baten Kaitos Origins, the voices are recorded normally. I always thought this was simply out of backlash for the cardboard tube recording from the original, which it probably was, but then I realized something. While the player is once again an actual character who guides the main character, the player's character isn't a guardian spirit from another dimension, but instead is literally a part of the main character. In Origins, the player isn't listening on on conversations; you exist inside the hero and are in the same dimension as everyone else, so it would make sense that you're not hearing things through the filter this time around. I don't know if that was intended or not. If it wasn't, it's a cool side effect. If it was, though... brilliance. --User:Timber
• When you visit Moonguile Forest in Origins, Sagi remarks that "there's something about this place." It seems odd for him to comment on that place specifically. But remember, the End Magnus sealed there is "Ar." That's the one that corresponds to Marno. With that in mind, it makes sense that his being there would have some kind of effect.
• In Eternal Wings, we see that Savyna is guilt-ridden over killing a little Azhani girl's father right in front of her, which she later tries to make up for. Considering all the other things that she did during that time, it's sort of surprising that this particular memory would haunt her... but then, in Origins, we see the little girl Savyna witnesses her father's death at the hands of Sagi.
