'''''Baten Kaitos''''' is a...[[Word Salad Title|memorably named]] JRPG for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], developed by Monolith Soft.
 
The basic story? Thousands of years ago, an apocalyptic global war between man and gods took place. The men won, of course, and dismembered their fallen opponent. However, as a consequence of the terrible carnage and forbidden magics used in the conflict, the ocean dried up, the [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|god-like]] Whale vanished, and the world was nearly consumed by poisonous miasma. A tribe of shaman-like magicians called the Children of the Earth managed to save humanity by using the body parts of the dead god to raise several continents into the sky, where they've remained ever since.
Line 248:
* [[Playing the Player]]: {{spoiler|Most players will conclude that the first game's blatant cutscenes about the possibility of a spy in the party are a [[Red Herring]]. [[Genre Savvy]] players might take it a step further and conclude there really is a spy precisely because it seems like so much of a [[Red Herring]], albeit with a twist such as the spy being forced to spy against his or her will. ''Nobody'' will conclude the spy is not only real and utterly unrepentant, but ''the main character''.}}
* [[Poison Mushroom]]: Certain items in the first game were used to inflict status ailments on enemies. If you used them to defend, you could get that same status ailment.
* [[Post -Climax Confrontation]]: {{spoiler|Bet you weren't expecting Geldoblame to [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|suddenly pop up out of the earth]] during the ending, huh?}}
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: {{spoiler|Kalas always has his wings out after his [[Face Heel Turn]].}}
* [[Power Trio]]: The player characters in ''Origins''.
