Jade Cocoon Great RPG

This is one great RPG, I recomend it to anyone who likes the old style RPG's with the elemental powers. There is something new in this one though, not only is there text but speach as well. The graphics are really good, and all over is a great game. Its even more fun if you have a friend that owns the game as well. It took me 18 hours to beat, though you might think that is a little short there is a forest with more powerful monsters. If you liked Pokemon you will probably like this as well. You can catch, train and even merge monsters. The merging is really neat, you can make a wealth of new monsters. If a friend has the game than you can fight your friend with which adds many hours of time. The plot is great, and the magic powers are really cool. One of the other great things about this game is that not only can your monsters fight, but so can you! Overall a great game buy it, now!

A beautiful game with an involving plot

Jade Cocoon is a beautiful game (lovely pre-rendered backdrops -- sounds like something out of a game mag doesn't it?) with EXCELLENT voice acting and music! The soundtrack is so rich and authentic, with real instruments, drum beats, and little bells chiming... the tunes are so catchy that I find myself humming them at work the next day. Gameplay is great, too. I think the game is CLASSIC material; but sadly, I don't think enough people know about it. Jade Cocoon is definitely a gem, and should be a part of any gamer's collection.

One of my favorite games!

The first thing I thought about this game: Pokemon. Until later in the game, that is. It is extremely fun, ecpecially when you are in a battle or merging monsters.

This is one of the very few RPG's I've played more than three times. (The other notable mention is Final Fantasy VI.) If you take Pokemon, strip out 90% of the childish nonsense, give it beautiful music, dreamlike landscapes, a plot, character development, and interresting monsters that can take on a multitude of forms, you get Jade Coccoon.

Jade Coccoon has a dreamlike fairy-tale quality that I enjoy. There is character development and an actual plot. The sound track is beautiful; I wish I could find it. The character Po tells some good stories (the first about Alcana is the best), which is a nice diversion. My favorite element of the game is that there is no clear "good guy" and "bad guy", there is conflict on both sides. It also touches on some theological questions in an interresting way. The graphics are also quite good for a PlayStation game, and actually add to the mood and setting rather than just act as flashy eye-candy.

My only problem with this game is that it seems slightly rushed in development. There are elements in the story that seem as if they will be developed, and they just "go away". There is also a slight bug: If you save a game while carrying firefly coccoons and turn off the PlayStation, when you re-start, the special abilities and spells of the creatures in the firefly coccoons will be erased. (However, sometimes this works to your advantage for breeding.) Purified coccoons left with Mahbu are safe. The game has also crashed three times on my PS2 (twice when Levant is summoning the first Minion of a fight), but for 50+ hours of play, that isn't bad.

Great Game

Jade Cocoon is agreat game. If you like pokemon then you'll definitely love this game. I bought it without any clue about the game, and it turned out to be great. Jade Cocoon is one of the best games I have ever played. It definitely should be bought.

If there is an RPG heaven, this game is an Angel!

As Levant (or whatever you name him), you make your quest to save your village from the locuse of apocalypse. Going into forests and catching fierce beasts to protect yourself and others is a journey for the strong. You can even catch beasts and merge them with others. So if you want a game that's like Pokemon with a awesome twist, by this game!

Don't confuse this with pokemon

Yes you do fight with monsters and yes you are a kid. But this game has a rich storyline with many character relationships. Different from pokemon you can fight yourself. Although the graphics are bit out dated they still look awsome and the anime videos are fantastic. The music works well with the game and the voices of the characters are well placed for those who dont want to read. Overall its a great game and well worth the money.
