The following months, Jade Cocoon was previewed in Game Informer magazine twice, in issues 73 and 75, then reviewed after release in issue 76. In April 1999, Jade Cocoon, the US release still in its alpha stages, was previewed in Next Generation Magazine as part of its "NG Alphas" series.
On his quest he meets many others, such as Koris, the Blue Cocoon Master, and Kikinak, who assist him in saving the people of the village. He traverses 4 forests on his quest, the Beetle, Dragonfly, Spider, and Moth forests, which are populated with a variety of monsters known as minions that Levant may capture into cocoons and tame.
An elderly Nagi woman, Garai, repels the Onibubu using Nagi magic before their curse affects everyone.Īfter a quick wedding ceremony, Levant is_given the title of cocoon master and leaves to explore the surrounding forest to find an herb rumored to be able to lift the curse. On the day of a large festival in Syrus, the village is attacked by demons known as the Onibubu, which cause many villagers to fall into an deep slumber. To do this, he must marry a Nagi woman, and is betrothed to a_girl named Mahbu (voiced by Michelle Ruff). You guide the silent protagonist on his quest to follow in his presumably dead father's footsteps to become a cocoon master. Jade Cocoon is the story of Levant, a young man who lives in the town of Syrus. New monsters that were unavailable in the main game can be found in this new area. Strategy generally follows a rock/paper/scissors pattern (Wind beats Earth beats Water beats Fire beats Wind), as each wild Minion has an element (although fused Minions may have more than one).Īfter the main story is completed, the player may continue to play the game in a new area called The Eternal Corridor. Each minion has a collection of elemental attacks which can be passed from generation to generation. Fused minions take on physical characteristics of both its parent creatures, allowing the player to customize the appearance of each one, as well as its abilities. The Minions can then be used to fight and defend Levant, spun into silk for money, or fused with other Minions to form more powerful combinations. Levant is a young Cocoon Master, whose job is to capture and purify the Minions. The only safe havens are small villages, one of which is the home of the protagonist, Levant. Jade Cocoon is set in a world where most of the land is covered in dense forest populated by bizarre, mostly bug-like monsters called Minions.
