History Fridge / BatenKaitos

* In ''Eternal Wings'', we see that Savyna is guilt-ridden over [[spoiler: killing a little Azhani girl's father right in front of her]], which she later tries to [[TheAtoner 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 [[spoiler: witnesses her father's death at the hands of Sagi]].

* Combining two plot twists from the two games: [[spoiler: You find out in BK that Melodia came back wrong having a piece of Malpercio in her. You find out in BKO that Sagi has a piece of Malpercio in him. Sagi is sort of an anti-spiriter called a maldeiter because of this. By extension you can say that Melodia was also a maldeiter.]]

* The audio of for the voices in the first ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'' 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, ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosOrigins'', 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, [[spoiler: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. --@/{{Timber}}

* FridgeHorror / FridgeBrilliance: If there were such a thing as a Fridge Tearjerker, this would be it. The quest in the Nekkar Quietlands reveals that Milly used to gather stones shaped like people and line them up. She also lived a very sheltered life, and when the Magne-Roches smashes the stones, Milly becomes incredibly upset. Those stones were probably the closest things Milly had to ''friends'' growing up!

* One of the changes to the battle system in ''Origins'' is that, instead of getting spirit attacks like in the first game, a higher bond makes you more likely to draw something you need. Given the battle system's complete overhaul, it's something you probably won't read too deeply into. [[spoiler:As it turns out, the player avatar in ''Origins'' is not a guardian spirit. The one true spiriter in the game, Baelheit, uses some of the spirit attacks from the first game in his battle with you.]]

* 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, [[spoiler: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.

* Those five creepy-looking bosses in [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Cor Hydrae]]? In Origins, you find out [[spoiler: who they used to be.]] You will never see them the same way ever again.

* When you visit Moonguile Forest in Origins, you can't go to the spring where the second boss of the first game was. On the surface, the reason for this is pretty obvious - there's an End Magnus there, and it's not supposed to be disturbed until twenty years later. But there might be another reason. [[spoiler: Said End Magnus is Ar. Guess which character that one corresponds to?]]
