Jade Cocoon Nostalgic Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- Jade Cocoon is an RPG for the PS1. It's most like Pokemon but was inevitably pitted against Final Fantasy at the time, thanks to its pre-rendered backgrounds and that it was an RPG for the PS1.
Featured a pretty cool monster-blending system and one of the best soundtracks of any game ever. Fun fact: my sister got this game, and my parents encouraged it since they enjoyed the music so much.

mother of all underrated games
jade cocoon is one of those games which make you miss your childhood...
❤
Found this after I got the legends of dragoon ❤❤❤
you are so right about this....
This and MonsterSeed for me lol, no one remembers that one though.
Feeling better?
I'd love to see a Jade Cocoon remake in true Studio Ghibli fashion, now that the technology is advanced enough to replicate the same lavish atmosphere that makes their animated movies so visually pleasing.
There's a Jade Cocoon 2 for the PS2, if you're interested.
Holy Shit! This game was the shit when I was a kid! I remember when I found it on a demo disc from some game magazine. I played the demo way too much :D making my own creatures. And then when I got the full game for christmas present I was so happy! Thanks for this nostalgia trip Philip. Subbed!
Lucky you, this game wasn't anywhwre to buy in my country so I could only play the demo.:( well time to hit up the emulator
Not to mention that the character design was by Ghibli, and the story came from one of their writers.
I had a similar experience only I never got the full game. I was playing Ff8 remaster and remembered it and just came looking for it again haha
I had the demo too!
I bought Jade Cocoon for $50 not long ago just so I could show my friend what it's like.
I play this game for its atmosphere and treat it like a hidden studio ghibli game that i mention occasionally.
I'll cherish it forever.
Subbed because reasons.
One of my favorite games. I had this when I was like 10. This game is amazing. It seemed more like pokemon not final fantasy
Jade Cocoon, underrated as fuck. Happy to see that it's still getting some love every now and then
Yup, this and Vagrant Story.
Why no sequal to either of those games?
There's a sequel to Jade Cocoon.
I did not like the sequel, I really enjoyed making the models blend together. It really felt like you were combining the monsters instead of just moving around stats.
I liked the characters and story a bit better as there was more depth to it. Cure is best girl.
I never knew! I played Jade Cocoon back in the day... never knew there was a sequel, damn!
You made the point, but I'll reiterate it. Say what you want about this game, but it's been almost 18 years since I've played this for the first time and that music still sticks with me. Best video game soundtrack I've ever heard, personally.
Bruh, I went through the game and struggled on every boss because I was underleveled. Eventually I beat them through determination.
But nothing prepared me for the hardest boss of all, that can be only be fought in the VS Mode.

Jade Cocoon was great. I haven't played it in probably 15 years, and I've been wondering if it still holds up today and had some doubts. Such a strange and beautiful game. It has a real air of anxiety and uncertainty to it, especially towards the end. Only in the forests and dungeons does this anxiety fade, as the melancholy music changes to more ambient sounds if I remember correctly, though they may have been tense in their own right.
I think I'll play it again some time. Thanks for the reminder.
Jade Cocoon 2 didn't pull me in back when it came out, as it was just too different. But it may be deserving of another chance as well.
I remembered playing it on a PS1 demo disc and bought it this year. Amazing experience. Sure, it has some rough edges, but it has such a unique charm and it had some pretty cool game mechanics for its time. It’s fun to merge the monsters and see them GROW as they level up. I only noticed that by the end of the game!
Similarly one of the most memorable RPG's for me on the PS1 was Legend of Dragoon, self published release by Sony Interactive. Just another game that was generally ignored but competes on a similar level with the Square RPG's of the time.
Much like this game it has a vastly different combat system involving combos and timing based QTE's that is implemented really well, it just adds some flavour beyond a bland "Attack" button.
I never got a chance to play the old Final Fantasy games when I was younger but I LOVED Legend of Dragoon. I haven't heard someone else even mention its existence until now.
philip means the triangle above your head when you're not in combat. It starts green or blue, I don't remember. Then orange, then red, indicating that you're about to get into a battle. You have to set the triangle to show, though. By default it doesn't show if I recall.
Yeah.. that sounds right. I only vaguely remember the game to be honest.
3kliksphilip Its goes from blue to yellow to red, and when it's red prepare to battle. I'd say it beats FF by far, but then again, i only played FF much later.
iNfx1 and monsters Kingdom jewel sumoner was quite similar in the monsters collection,, well it's kinda more unique pokemon,digimon, concepts
"Cocoon master, a dangerous and solitary profession" Never thought I'd hear that.
Every time I see a video like this I'm grateful that the greatest game of my childhood still lives on. I'm actually working on a inspired game based on Jade Cocoon, although I can't help but think it went too unnoticed to be popular.
are you done with your game you were working on? would love to see it
A Jade Cocoon review in my subscription box?!? WTF , this game is my childhood!
Jade cocoons ost has yet to be matched imo. Unbelievably atmospheric and really takes you to another world
Jade Cacoon in 4K... oh woaw, where are going to end?
Playing Retro Games from 1990 in 8K?
WinXP's minesweeper in 60 FPS.
Lmao, on a 144Hrtz refresh rate monitor
Windows media player visuals in 16K.
yes but the background still stays at low 240p no matter which setting. Jade Cocoon is such a game that gets ugly at higher resolution. The background doesnt get pretty, but more ugly. Best play to play it it's native settings at emulation. you want to match the background and not unmatching 3d at 4K and while background still stays 240p. Just lower the setting as close to the native
The old good Jade Cocoon, i've played it so much before and i still love this game
Multiplayer features that require things like a friend who also plays, who has a memory card with their stuff on it, were actually used quite often. I remember even into the days of the GameCube, we still managed to get the quad GBA to GC adapter setup for 4 player local Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Love Jade Cocoon
looks and sounds better than most of the games these days
Battle system is pretty good. Ngl
So many trash games these days. I miss the good ol' days.
great review bro; this game is really underrated, but remains one of my favourite ps1 games of all times.
Love this review. Straightforward. Simple. Enjoyable! This game needs more love! Played it as a kid. it was awesome! :)
Philip, I absolutely love this channel, maybe even more then 3kliksphilip, I hope you keep making videos on this channel
Thank you for uploading in 4K. It really helps me enjoy your videos in fullscreen.
OMG Philip THANK YOU SOO MUCH! I remember playing it back in the days and I've searched for this game for such a long time without any success.
IM SO HYPED THAT YOU HAVE POSTED THIS HOLY CRAP. I PLAY THIS GAME FOR NOSTALGIA ALL THE TIME AND I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW YOU POST THIS VIDEO. I LOVE THIS GAME AND I LOVE YOU PHILIP.
Same
I vividly remember playing a demo of this game when I could have only been about 3? I thought it was so magical and amazing and I'm sooo annoyed I never played the full game
That fleeing childhood moment. The Nostalgia is real. Just put on that legendary music and join me in my melancholy.
Dude...... after I saw the name Jade Cocoon I was like wtf.... childhood memories come back to me, lol... fragments... and stuff, .... o,O ... o , O
@@Dave-hx9xr It's just too much to handle.
i love this video style looking back on old games even when ive never played them feels amazing....
Great episode of Ross's Game Dungeon! Ross's voice sounds kinda weird though, I think he might have a cold.
Forgot about your channel due to RUclipss fucked up way of things.
Decided to do a purge of my subscriptions and found this channel again! You better believe i'm clicking that bell!
i did not know mahbu hurts herself in the process for you to merge the monsters.. poor girl
Oh 😮 my !! Good times 😭. Jade Cocoon is part of my childhood. I love this game.
I grew up with this game, played it literally every day after school and weekends.
Felt so fortunate to gets hands on it as it was just one copy of it in local game store at that time.
This was SUCH an amazing game
Jade Cacoon is the perfect mix of pokemon and final fantasy.
the art style was also made by one of the artists from Studio Ghibli, that is another thing I noticed.
My grandmother got me this game way back then. I felt so guilty leaving her house to go home and play it but I was so excited. It was covered in every gaming magazine back then
I remember when I reached the "endless forest" I never made it to floor 99.... Wondering until today what there's waiting for me.
I think the highest level is 999. Once you get to 1000 you just get sent back to the 999th floor. I just found out yesterday that you could get boss skins as a drop from bosses. Had no clue that was even a thing. There are also special monsters you got through combining specific features via multiple merges. Those tablets that talk about divine beasts with specific features were meant to be instructions on how to get them. Gotta play the game again, there's gotta be other shit I missed too.
One of the best games in gaming history. This game is Masterpiece. Wish someone like Sony to make it a true Remake.
In 2022, nobody trusts Soyny anymore. Censoring so many games that come out of Japan.
"Your mom hasn't showed up today."
I can see why Levant's dad left then.
*Besides, can you blame Nagi Maidens when their husband's out fighting?*
Thank you for this review.
I only had quite blurred images of this game in my mind since it's been so long since I played it and I was quite young back then. But I clearly remember that I didn't finish it because I didn't wanna go on after the bad event. Also as a kid it made me sad that the wife had to suffer so much whenever I wanted to splice two monsters.
I think back then I was too young for that game but I never fully forgot it.
Thank you for this blast from the past. ^^
please my lovely Phillip make more of these nostalgic reviews.
the soundtrack itself makes me cry already😭
This game is one of my top nostalgic games. I actually recently bought an Ocarina just to learn how to play the music from the flute master. Also, my cousins and a friend of mine all had this as kids, so we absolutely used the multiplayer feature! We were always trying to find new and more powerful monsters to beat each other. A very fond childhood memory for me.
I love these type of games with that adventure art style. I seriously want to play and buy this game!
THIS NEEDS A REMAKE!!!
I find it odd how everyone forgets to mention that Katsuya Kondo was the art director for Jade Cocoon. He's one the main key animators of Studios Ghibli.
To mention, the character design was someone from the Ghibli studio. Just like ni no Kuni.
And you collect enemies... Just like ni no Kuni....
Both games were full of Ghibli collaborations, it's not just like they got a random dude who also just happened to do Ghibli stuff for two games randomly or something.
@@TheDeathOfLucifer Y'know... I think an anime for Jade Cocoon would of been good, not just to get it out there, but maybe to add some lore.
*Or give Levant a voice.*
I feel the difference is Jade Cocoon looks slightly more realistic than Ni no Kuni
0:52 I am trying to play Jade Cocoon, but this guy DreamMan27 keeps kicking my ass!
Lol
Just level up more
My brothers and I all had our own memory cards. We were one of the chosen few who actually used the multiplayer feature!
Loved this game to bits back when I was a kid. I remember all those hours I spent in the endless corridor trying to make a giant panda dragon and a tiger unicorn. Too bad the PS2 sequel wasn't as good.
Love this game, probably also influenced by love of nature, the environment and folk as well as indigenous cultures.
Nostalgia trip for sure. Absolutely adore this game, and try every now and then to find fan art, or posters (I'm looking at you, Displate) for it.
I sunk so many hours and replays into JC. I have yet to meet anyone irl that even knows of it.
The music absolutely fantastic. I can still remember it vividly.
God dammit I need to get another copy
I randomly remembered this game when i heard the word cocoon in a song lol so here i am
OMG! thanks for reviewing this i loved this game back then!
Dude. I just want a remake of this game with the VS mode being Online.
That game's story is more grown up and hard as some of the products they serve us today. This is a gem if you are willing to dive into the story. And most of the text was even voiced (in the German version at least). I love the sacrifice of Mahbu and the design of the forests. Such a good game.
Loved this game growing up. I played it as a kid I constantly hope they remake it for a newer console!!!
I played thru this game like 4 times when i was a kid. It was a blast, it was the merging of the monsters that i loved so much in that game.
Jade cocoon 2 were fun too but for me this one were better since you got a more personal connection with the monsters.
just yesterday I was watching some nostalgic reviews, n0ice
I still think it is more like Pokemon but for grown ups and man I love this game. I still have my original disc and I was playing it on my ps3 the other day.
2Kliksphillip no more dino pc, is this the end of the 10-core-osaurus ?
i love this game, its like watching a serene movie that gave me feels i didn't know what to do with, AND it has POKEMONS! ghibli movie with POKEMONS
I never really played this game but watching this made me want to check it out
This game was amazing when i played it back in the day.
downloading right now to play in an emulator never thought i would get play this game from my childhood again!
this was one of those random games you rented at Blockbuster that you had no prior knowledge about, but it ended up turning the entire weekend into an epic adventure
i love this game...one of my favourites..born 1986
I had this game!!! It was really good. I never finished it since I was in my first year of college I think and just didn't have time for it. Beautiful looking and sounding game.
One of the first RPG's I truly fell in love with
Since this Reviewer failed to mention this detail ill fill you in, if the games art style looks familiar to you, thats because the head character designer was Katsuya Kondō who works for Studio Ghibli which is why this game has a very Princess Mononoke vibe in both cutscenes and general tone which is easily one of its greatest strengths, also the game doesn't play like a cart racer like the reviewer poorly phrased, it has Resident Evil tank controls for better or for worse.
omg im 30 y/o gamer.this is my childhood memories before I became addicted to cs!
I've held the thought for a long time that, if this game were ever to be remade, after the main story and final boss is completed, then instead of just the Eternal Corridor, instead both gates in the temple open to you, one taking you back to the Barrier Gate where you can re-enter the Beetle, Dragonfly, Spider and Moth forests again, (with maybe the choice to their netherworld counterparts), with tougher monsters that alternate between all the elements, not just two.
The other gate in the temple leads to the Eternal Corridor, so that you can take the chance to catch whatever random monster that appears and test yourself against the bosses of the Corridor. (With maybe a few of the bosses being made tougher themselves, as I remember the 3rd, 5th and especially 7th being pitifully bland as a challenge).
I loved this game.
Me2 👌🏻👌🏻
My friend and I used the PvP feature as kids. It was such a cool idea for the time to import your save.
My fav ps1 game but every copy i got was full of scratches and would mess up halfway through grrr
Why dont you just get ps1 emulator on the pc, ps1 games dosnt require alot to run tbh :P
Like a lot of others I absolutely adored this game as a 12 year old but my god did this game feel so incredibly lonely and depressing.
I think this was one of the first low-stakes switch up I ever saw when everyone died and it took me so goddamn long to get anywhere in the endless corridor.
Wow.... childhood fragments.. come back to me.
I'm not gay but whenever Philip uploads a new video I get harder than a rock
Og Tatu SAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is Philip the next Mutahar?
infamousentnyc - It doesn't have to be in "THE CURRENT YEAR". Apparently we're allowed to pick our genders now.... :-(
you don't have to say that you aren't gay. you have nothing to proof. Or you are insecure for pointing that? A strong person who know his sexuality won't come up with such BS just to guard themself. Wake up!
3 of the most underrated games from the PS1 era.
Jade Cocoon
Legend of Dragoon
Legend of Legaia
people may say im clouded by nostalgia, and people may be unquestionably correct. But this is my favorite game
Like many others my brother and I played the ever living sh*t out of the demo of this from a magazine
Finally found the full game in the corner shop by my school's tiny game section!!
Still can't believe it was there!
Jade Cacoon? MORE LIKE JADE CACOOL. HAHAHAHahaha ha hahah ha ha ha. Please send help.
nice one dad, thats a good one
My greatest achievement in life so far has been this reply, I challenge your claim to the saddest life.
*But Nobody Came*
Frikkin undertale
Nathan Apex earthbound did it first :/
I liked to have the ones with the mad ball tails in all colours, they attacked by running forward and doing a half frontflip to land on their back while smashing the enemy with their tail, I can still hear the sound. The sequel on ps2 was dope too.
I swear i loved this Game so much when i was a kid. I forgot about it and now im seeing this Video.. i wish they make a new Game!
Man I've been searching for this game for ages, played it when I was very young and couldn't remember the name
never played jade cocoon game before...downloaded both, i'll try in a few days when my vacation starts
Truly one of the best games of all time for me! And if you play the sequel on ps2, the story finally feels finished. It let's you know what Levant has been up to during his time after getting to the endless corridor... but I won't say more than that 😆 and is also a fantastic game!
I can't believe I never noticed the wife getting scarred! I merged everything haha.
Mahbu I never knew... I do remember finding it a bit odd she covered herself more and more as the story progressed but damn... I really want to believe it's because of my sub basic english at the time and being 10 oe so yold kid that I simply didn't understand otherwise I'm a monster. Thank you for the plesent review nevertheless. Been 2 decades since I first played the demo, on par with Legend of Legaia this was best game of my childhood.
I think interms of the lore that the more she does the monster purification process, the more she suffers interms of wounds or something... kinda messed up when you think about it. But its a great game
i loved this game when i was a kid
I'd love to see a nostalgic review of one of the Unreal Tournaments.
Hm never played this, looks a lotta fun!. Grandia, Breath Of Fire and the Incredible X-Com and Fallout series are fantastic RPG's also for those who are sick of or were never really a fan of Final Fantasy to begin with. Thanks, great review 😊, wiv luv, Shan ❤
final fantasy? i always thought it was a competitor to pokemon since it was a craze back then, and it felt alot like the games.
Thank you for reviewing my childhood
Sympa de revoir les différents moments du jeu****
Oh the memories... thanks Philip
This game looks really cool
"racing car movement" lol, usually people use tank control but i like it.Sound more fun.
The game was wonderfull(i rememnber i was thinking it was the closest thing to pokemon on ps1 at the time) and i was lucky because the french dub was amazing in quality, far better than the english dub from the gameplay i saw, so for once french dub was actually a positive, and that's rare.With a dub like that giving mabuu cancer never got old.
Also i think havind a dubbed game on ps1 was really something, and it may have been a big factor of why the game was so fast to finish, but it is a memorable experience for sure.
Kind of like Pokemon, but not really, but maybe. I thought the comparison to Pokemon is much stronger than Final Fantasy but I seethe point in it.
Such a great game.
Holy fuck I finally found this game
I remember going to my cousins house one day, he rented games from blockbuster all the time, he rented this game from blockbuster and I thought it was awesome how he talked about it, then he booted the game up, and I saw how much reading and numbers were on screen and I got confused as a child, I thought you needed math to play the game, and I cried and begged him to just play Spyro, I never thought I’d find this game ever without knowing it’s name and vague images from the game from 20 years ago lmao
