I really enjoyed the first Baten Kaitos, hopefully the sequel will be even better. Jeux France has some scans taken from a japanese mag featuring some in-game screenshots as well as some of the artwork.

The events of this sequel will take place 20 years after the original Baten Kaitos so don´t expect to see a lot of the original characters but we might see some familiar faces showing up every now and then.

Baten Kaitos 2 will be released on February 23, 2006 in Japan. I have no idea when it is coming out in the States and Europe.
