[Game] Dragon Quest Monsters 2 : Cobi's Journey & Ruka's Adventure
Story
Great-log - a small island kingdom that floats in the middle of the southern seas. A small ship sails towards the kingdom, bearing a family with the dream of opening a farm for monsters in a new land. The family's children, a sister and a brother, stare bright-eyed at the emergence of Great-log over the blue horizon.
Thus begins the tale of Tara and Cobi, soon to be embroiled in a grand and harrowing adventure upon arrival...
Released on September 15th, 2001 for the Nintendo Game Boy Color, Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 is the adventure of Cobi and Tara, the brother and sister destined to become great Monster Breeders, while saving their entire kingdom in the process.
Cobi and Tara are both in a family of monster breeders who have come to the Kingdom of Great-log to make a living. Shortly after they arrive, their mother tells them to pick up a Nut Pie from the Vault. As they are heading towards the Vault, they run into the Prince and his companion Warubo, making trouble for the townspeople. Unfortunately, after they get the pie, it is taken by the Prince and his cohort. Cobi and Tara follow them to a cave underneath the kingdom, where the two are arguing about who should get the goods. Cobi and Tara try to get the pie back but, in the process, knock a big plug out of a hole. The Prince leaves frantically and Warubo uses himself to plug up the hole. He tells Cobi and Tara that the plug allows the island of Great-log to stay afloat and without it, it will sink. He tells them to get a monster master and ask for his or her assistance. But when they cannot find anyone, Warubo says that they will have to do it. A quest to save the kingdom has now begun.
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 comes in two separate game cartridges. One is titled Cobi's Journey, and the other as Tara's Adventure. This gives you the opportunity to play as either character, or even both, depending on which game or games you own. The game allows the player to form a team of monsters from various Dragon Quest titles. Controlling either Cobi or Tara, the player begins on Great-log where there are various shops, a monster farm, breeding area, and an arena. By advancing in the story, the player is given keys that unlock new worlds from Great-log which acts as a base for the player. There are other keys which feature randomly created worlds for the player to explore. In the optional worlds, the player needs to fight a certain number of monsters to reach the final, randomized boss of the world. Some of the worlds feature rare monsters, while some have very common monsters, depending on the name of the key.
Battles are fought in a turn-based system. The player can have three monsters out at a time for battle. Monsters found in the wild can also join the player's team. The last monster defeated always has a small chance of joining, and by feeding it different types of meat, the chances rise.
