I spent so much time as a kid playing this game. I spent an entire summer just catching and breeding spotslime/spotking. I just really liked him.
i love legit reviews on cult games like this, any amount of recognition for the DQM series is wonderful
I often prefer phortnight to play. I also enjoy call of dookie online mode.
Ah what a great way to start the year.
Favorite childhood game. Really happy with dm3 😊
The amount of effort in this video is incredible! You're a super underrated RUclipsr and I know you'll grow much bigger soon.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thing about the mana costs in the 3DS remake is, that you should only breed those magic skillsets like Uber Mage to monsters that have either a sufficient mana pool or monsters with Magic Regenerator (or another skillset that has Magic Regenerator), same goes for Uber Healer etc. the Magic Regenerator trait is very OP, especially for monsters that have a big mana pool already. But once you find out what traits to combine with what monsters and stats it all makes sense. So a Grim Rider which is an attack based Monster with a Mage skillset will of course not make too much sense, as its base mana pool is very low.
I played both the originals as a child and got a Japanese 3DS solely for these titles, and they are both absolutely incredible games. I will say this if nothing else between the remakes of Terry's vs Iru and Luca's Keys: in Terry's every skillset that gives the Omniheal spell ALSO tacks on an inaction trait, which is kind of annoying. But they are my favorite games of all time.
I spent hundreds of hours playing this game as a kid, and hundreds more as an adult through emulators. The music is still in my head.
14:00 I'll say this: While replaying the game as an adult I agree with you, as a kid these worlds felt huge. I replayed DWM2 to show it to my boyfriend last year and I was shocked by how small it felt, despite my memories of spending hours and hours in each world figuring out where you're supposed to go and what to do.
Oof, not happy to hear about the 3DS remake adopting Joker's mechanics. I'm not a fan of the skill sets, but imo far worse is the size categories. I've played through Joker 2 and 3 and I always found large monsters to not perform as well as you'd hope. Their number of actions being usually randomized makes it harder to plan around what your guys can do, and you usually end up with less actions than you would with 4 small monsters. For example, a 4-slot monster that gets 2-3 actions a turn is at best only getting 75% as many actions as a team of 4 mons. Not to mention you have less flexibility since you can only command the first action they take, with later ones being chosen by the AI, and based off the monster's stance. So with 2 mons, you could tell one to go offensive and the other to be defensive and focus on healing. But with only 1 larger monster you must choose between either attacking or healing. The stat boosts large monsters get just aren't worth it imo, and it leads to a lot of cool monsters ending up in the "never use" bin when I play because the devs decided they should be multi-slot.
Yeah, I ended up avoiding most big monsters for that same reason. Attacking multiple times is nice and all, but it's not very reliable. I'm not sure if there's a way to control it or if it's entirely left to luck, though.
@@MerryBytes So, I "acquired" a copy of the remake to play on an emulator, and I'm VERY impressed. The changes they've made seem pretty good in regards to the plots of the main worlds, and the increased variety of monsters is pretty cool! I was a bit disappointed to find out that apparently to complete one of the side quests you need to do wifi battles, which... even if you're playing a legit cartridge on a legit 3DS, since the servers went down that's impossible. Really frustrating when developers force multiplayer for 100%ing the singleplayer portion of video games x.x
But yeah. I'm having quite a bit of fun with it, even if I still have some criticisms. Thanks for letting me know about it and the fan translation.
@@Shenaldrac I'm glad to hear that. Means my video did its job!
@@MerryBytes So uh, not related to the video but do you happen to know where the Metal Slimes are? Google has revealed nothing, and one guide I found says they can be found in the Desert world after clearing it... but doesn't say _where_ in the Desert world.
Middle school nostalgia!
One of my favorites on the game boy
well done, very good and interesting video! dqm 1 will always be one of my all time favourites, but 2 is still a neat game. I was devastated when I heard they are not releasing terry's wonderland in europe and it was the reason I said goodbye to nintendo
I hope you continue covering the monster series ! Love these
When I played through the remake (In Japanese because I bought a Japanese 3DS to play it) I just ran with a full on attack team (Since my Japanese is bad and using skills was kind of too hard.) using different recolors of the Killing machine line. Let's go Team Robosters!
An english patch exists
Beautiful video. Thank you so much!
Man, that Pineapple joke made me laugh too much
Amazing video! Keep up the good work!
Good old times.
Very good and informative review. Thanks!
The monster thing from the 3ds remake reminds me of a similar thing in the first joker game only vastly improved
See you for caravan hearts in a few years
Jokes on you, it's the next video, sometime this month.
welcome back!
Amazing video

I remember playing this game as a kid and never beat it mostly i got lost and don't know where to go i think i was 5
Amazing XD I love DQMonsters, absolutely my favorite monster taming games ever; like for real, love all DQ games but monsters are my favorite, and thanks for informig me that the Tovi/Tara's adventure was already released with English patch, I was waiting for it like crazy after beating the Terry's game. Thanks for the video! It was fun, amazing and I did enjoy it a lot!
BTW, is there any way of you checking and reviewing the "Monster * Race" series? Is also games that I totally love, but due to the language barrier I was never able to beat it, especially since I found no guide on Internet to check what I needed to continue. I think is in the kind of weird Pokémon clones that may drag some interest as an old weird jewel.
See you on the next review!
That's a series I honestly have never even heard about, so that's a discovery for me. I can't guarantee I'll make a video on it any time soon, but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.
@@MerryBytes there is a DS game called monster racers which I'm assuming that's the game they are referring to. I would say it's a fun game but I'm unsure if you have ever played it. Its ost is a banger.
@@mothratheresa8582 Apparently that game on the DS is a successor to the original Monster Race series, which is from 1998 and 1999 on the Gameboy and the Playstation. Search for もんすたあレース on RUclips and you'll see a few videos.
@@MerryBytes Yes! Exactly; Monster* Race 1 and 2 for GameBoy (and GameBoyColor= with... remake? for PlayStation1. There is then the DS version that had a translation.
I suggested it mostly because it's in the category of weird gems that doesn't even have proper guide (maybe the DS one has). The DS one is super fun due to its mechanics and the gameboy versions are nostalgic but the language barrier really affect the gameplay. I'm still wishing to be able to go further the first big city on the second game XD
Thanks for considering it. If you don't feel interested or can't do it for any reason don't worry as I thank you for reading me anyway.
I just, last night, beat Terry's Wonderland 3DS and it was sort of really boring and felt empty.
Would you say the 2 3DS remake is still worth trying?
Might be worth trying at least, depending on how much of the issue comes down to the randomized worlds in Terry's Wonderland 3D. The gameplay mechanics haven't really changed much, but DQM2's 3DS remake takes place in proper handcrafted worlds rather than a series of randomized maps where you gather and train monsters to fight through arena ranks.
@@MerryBytes The dungeons were my biggest issue with it. Fun for the first three, then "Oh I've seen this" for 4 dungeons in a row.
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.
Very good Videos for Monsters 1 and 2. Can you make a Video for the Joker Series?
I will eventually, though first I'll be covering Caravan Heart.

is there any way to get boss monsters in the game? cause the guide says u cant recruit or breed them. please and thank u
Aside from Darck, the Boss family monsters are all acquired by breeding, either with rare monsters or with other bosses themselves. For example, DracoLord1 requires mixing a Servant with an Andreal or a GreatDrak.
Use this for reference:
darksair.org/dwm2-breed/
Bro why tf they ahead of pokemon but they never bothered to compete! Ahhhhhh
i just had 1 more question bytes, does my monster need to learn the skill before breeding so it can be transferred? or can i breed 2 monsters without skills and will the baby learn their parents' skills?
For the 3 innate skills that each species learns, no, they will always pass them down even if they don't current have it. For every other skill, the parents must currently know those skills to pass them down to the offspring.
For example, Dracky naturally learns Antidote, Sleep and RobMagic, so the offspring can learn those skills even if the parent Dracky didn't currently have them. However, if that Dracky learned Firebal at some point, then it must also currently have Firebal (or Firebane/Firebolt) in its skill set to pass it down to its offspring. If the parent Dracky no longer knows Firebal, then it will not pass it down to the offspring.
@@MerryBytes thx for everything hopefully eighting and square enix remakes this game in 10 years on the switch or next gen console.
How do you get Aibou without the iapp cell phone on the ps1 games :( and how do you get Lamia, Dimensaur, and Kagebou in the ps1 remakes?
I think Aibou can only be acquired through connecting with the mobile apps, unfortunately. The other three can only be acquired by recruiting them from random NPC masters in each of the 3 games of the PS1 remakes. Lamia is in Terry's Wonderland, Dimensaur is in Cobi's story, and Kagebou is in Tara's story.
@@MerryBytes Holy shi--- youre a God! Someone told me you could get all 3 from NPC masters but youre the first one to say it is from specific games on the disc. Youre a hero!
I only asked about Aibou because I saw some japanese guy uploaded a video via an emulator where he had Watabou, Warabou, and Aibou on Terrys Wonderland ps1 so Im guessing he had a cheat code from somewhere to get Aibou
Would you know how to get Kage, Lamia, and Dimensaur in the 3ds remakes?
@@HistoryandReviews Apparently, Lamia and Dimensaur are acquired from Rainbow Eggs, while Kagebou can be either from Golden or Rainbow Eggs. These can be bought from a shop and then left to hatch, but are pretty friggin' expensive.
@@MerryBytes I found from an old japanese websit just now that to get the secret monster they created for these games "Zomas Devil" you have to get all 312 monsters then go to the libray and the librarian will give you Zomas Devil egg. We are so close to solving these mysteries
Mans bout to make me give up on the remakes and just play the og again 😂 fuck sake.
Can someone please help me find the files that are already translated to English!! It would be greatly appreciated 😊
Can't directly guide you since RUclips seems to keep deleting any comment pointing towards urls so pretty much I can say google is your only friend this time around.
Edit: You may also look at the video description tho.
So I am pretty sure all monsters of the same size have the same stat total max stats no matter the rank.
You mean in the 3DS remake? As far as I know, Size classes influence the number of Skills they can learn, their damage and their stat growth, but not the stat limits or the total maximum stat values.
@@MerryBytes yeah size is the only thing that changes max possible stats more hp usually pretty sure if u add up total stat points monsters all have the same if there the same size .example not real numbers all small would have 4k medium 5k large 6k .
Seems that it's close but not exactly the same. For example, Slime and Dracky are both F Rank and S Size, but total max stats for the Slime is 3684 while for the Dracky it's 3828.
Here's the reference I'm using:
toragame.com/dq-iruka/monster/F.php
The 3ds version is also getting a fan transition and is practically done
This game needs a next gen version. Same concept , same mechanics , better storyline , and graphics
It's perfect as it is.
@@dawggydawgtowna rerelease I mean.
19:43 did he say boners?
Yes. That boss originally came accompanied by two skeletons.
@@MerryBytes lol what were the localization team thinking
.
Dragons, Golems, and Killer Apples just doesn't have the same charm as Dragons, Golems, and Communists. :(
RISE UP, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. WE SHALL BRING UNITY TO OUR MONSTEROUS COMRADES.
