I've added this as to see just what lines The Staff will draw in regards to games being wished for. Seeing as this title runs on some ancient mainframe none of us have ready access to, nor is there any ready (user feasible) emulator for, it would be deemed improbable for this title to come to any serious head.
Ergo, I put this wish here as a test to see how entirely serious this new DreamList™ is. Should the staff be considered serious to the ideal of feasibility, I'd imagine this to be struck off soon.
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost OceanAn 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.Fantasy
