Baten Kaitos is a...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 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.
