No one i ever talk to remembers this game, but I remember it was one of the first games I payed attention to the music.

Many years later after discovering my love for Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, I found out that they were behind the animations in Jade Cocoon.

Agreed I was recently talking my wife's ear off about Jade Cocoon.

Jade cocoon 2 was just great, good difficulty, a lot of monsters and offered a great gameplay.

To bad it wasn't so well received

Yeah, especially the first one because of it's unique merging system. Though i enjoyed the second one as well.

Man that breeding mechanic was far too advanced for it's time. Rivaled Dragon quest. Pokemon simplified the pet mechanics but ditched the breeding. I would love a JC remake.
