Monolith Soft has announced that the development team for its upcoming GameCube title Baten Kaitos consists of members who previously worked on well-known titles such as Saga Frontier II, Xenogears, and Chrono Cross. One example is scenario director Masato Kato, who was also the director and event planner for Chrono Cross. The team also includes Japanese artist Nakaba Higurashi as its character designer. This is Higurashi's first venture into game development.
In addition, Monolith Soft revealed that once it has Xenosaga Ep. I Reloaded, Xenosaga Ep. II, and Baten Kaitos out of the way, it intends develop games for other companies other than Namco.
