Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2: Difference between revisions

Received an [[Updated Rerelease]], ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]] Joker 2 Professional'', which added 500 new monsters, completely re-balanced the multiplayer, and roughly doubled the single player campaign. Unfortunately, due to some poor timing in both release date and localization, [[No Export for You|this version was not the one localized]].

* [[Actually Four Mooks]]: Played straight -- only one monster appears on the map, but up to three appear in combat. It's further played with by the size system -- monsters can be size S, M, or G -- taking up 1, 2 or 3 party slots respectively. Size 2 monsters get a huge stat boost, can have more skill trees, and have more (and better) traits to make up for their size. Size 3 monsters are literal parties in and of themselves, and get outrageous stat boosts and can have 5 skill trees at a time.

* [[Palette Swap]]: A few examples, mostly from ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' history (Dragon -> Red Dragon, Slime -> She Slime, etc). Playing it more straight is the Stronger / Strongest system, which doesn't even bother with the swapping -- although this is arguably the point, so one could go through the game with one's favorite nostalgic [[Mons]].

* [[Playable Epilogue]]: You didn't think becoming ''world champion'' was going to be good enough, did you?

* [[Power Nullifier]]: There are multiple status effects that cause people to be unable to hit, cast, or do anything at all. And there are multiple counters to this.

* [[Punny Name]]: Every area (save the ship) is named after an emotion -- Treepidation, Doubtback, etc. Every member of the ship's crew and passenger's list is also punny -- Eugene Pool (an expert in monster breeding), Rory Bellows (an expert in the seemingly coal powered ship's engines), etc etc.
