Item Description

Jade Cocoon 2 is a monster-raising RPG with a real hook: your battles are built around a spinning elemental amulet. Its twelve slots are split among four elements, three slots each, and every beast you place in it fights for you and guards you from that position. Where a monster sits on the ring changes how effective its elemental powers are, so a fight becomes a constant juggle of turning the amulet, matching fire against wind or water against earth, and deciding which beast to put in harm's way. It is an unusual battle system, and it gives the monster collecting a tactical bite.

Genki set the sequel a century after the original Jade Cocoon, when the Cocoon Masters have faded into legend. You play Kahu, an aspiring Beast Hunter who is cursed after a chance encounter and has to break that curse before it kills him, with a fairy companion named Nico at his side and Levant, the hero of the first game, now serving as a guide. The adventure takes you through four elemental forests in full 3D, hunting, capturing and raising a menagerie of more than 200 species.

The Room of Life is where the collecting really gets its hooks in. Eggs found on your travels hatch there, your monsters are catalogued in detail, and any two can be merged into a hybrid, so the creature you end up relying on might be a combination nobody else has bred. Beasts also evolve over time. Back in town you take on jobs for money and reputation, and that reputation matters: it unlocks the Arena trials that raise the number of monsters you can command, up to the full twelve. The Arena is also home to battles against rival Beast Hunters.

Jade Cocoon 2 arrived on the PS2 in 2001, at the height of the monster-collecting boom, and took a stranger, more mystical path than most of its rivals, which is a big part of why it has kept a devoted cult following. If your idea of a good evening is breeding the perfect hybrid and then spinning the amulet to set up a decisive elemental strike, this is a deep and rewarding corner of the PS2 library.

About the game

Presenting a combination of monster breeding and RPG elements, Jade Cocoon 2 expands upon Genki's original title in a number of significant ways. Gameplay comprises a familiar mix of storytelling and monster raising, with significant tweaks implemented for good measure. The town acts as your base of operations and it's here you can stock up on supplies, or take jobs for which you can earn money and build a reputation. The latter proves vital as it's directly related to the number of monsters you can use in battle. The successful completion of certain tests rewards you with the ability to command more beasts -- up to a maximum of 12 at once, however, you can only take these tests when your reputation is high enough. These trials take place in the Arena, which is also home to Beast Hunter battles, where you can test your mettle against fellow Beast Hunters. Monster eggs are found on your travels and can be hatched in the Room of Life; an all-encompassing monster management room that provides detailed information on the beasts and allows you to merge them, creating hybrid creatures. The monsters now also evolve over time.
