Retro Gaming PS1 : Monster Rancher 2

Hi I am Arveno, i want to share my lovely retro game that i played recently. I dont know if you are know this game. But, this game is very nostalgic. I have good moment playing this game when i just a kid. This game is like Tamagochi if you know it. Basically like taking care of a monster. I love this game since in my home, my parents wont allowed us keeping animals inside house. And it makes me using this game as substitution to taking animals.

When i was a kid, i didn't know hack to raising this monster well and stronger monster. Maybe because i dont understand the english well. And it just trying little by little until i grown up and understanding english.
However, when i understand this game and knowing how to hack the monster to be a strong and great monster. Also knowing how to get the technique to battle. Then i can compete and be a strongest tamer in this game. Maybe i will explain a little bit about this game.

Okay based on the picture above, in top left you can see the date. Usually for knowing the tournament schedule. And the right side you can see many option there.

• Training - This menu is for training the monster you can training to increase the status and the status is for battle in tournament and battling wild monster.
• Rest - When the monster is getting tired you need to make the monster rest.
• Battle - This is for the tournament schedule
• Item - This option is to using any item and buy or selling items
• File - This option is for saving the game progress
• Town - This option is going to town to buying monster,freeze monster,combined monster,etc

And in the bottom from left to right is Style is for monster behaviour When the monster stats is even that means your monster will be very loyal to you. And in the middle is loyalty. It will make easy to make your monster obey you when in the battle and having lower chance to having foolery status. and in the right is your money for buying food or items.

Then if you clik square button it will showing option to choose, the option is for to knowing the monster stats the player stats and the cards monster the player have. Like in the picture above it is the status for the monster and used for the battle.

• Life - Status for the life in the battle. The more life the harder opponent beating up our monster.
• Power - Status to give damage for power technique the more power the more damage dealt
• Int - Status to give damage for intelligence technique the more Int the more damage dealt and also this status having another function that is for expedition to find item better.
• Ski - Status to increasing the chance to hit the monster. The more this status the higher chance to hit opponent without getting dodge.
• Spd - Status to dodge opponent attack. The more this stats will have higher chance to dodging opponent attack.
• Def - Status to endure the damage from opponent attack. The more this stats the less damage dealt by the opponent.

The fame is just fame and it is easier to get. The more winning when climbing the rank your fame will increase automatically.
And the ranked is from E,D,C,B,A,S. When reached S rank it can follow the elite 4 battle that can make the legend battle and entering hall of fame.
And for Age, of course all creature can death, and also this monster too. They have lifespan. it will different from each monster and your care will affect to the total lifespan the monster have.

And the next page of monster status is the technique of the monster have. You can get the technique by training in Errantry. But,make sure that the terms and condition is fulfilled so the monster can aqcuired the technique.

Of course after we are raising the monster and training the monster in order to increase the status, it will be useless if not using it right. Yeah we using it in the battle. And need to climbing the rank until reaching S rank and then battle the elite 4 in full 1 year each 3 months. Then battle in the legend cup and enter the hall of fame. It will be easier if we are combining the good status monster with good status monster. So need raising 2 monster at least reaching status like 600-700 and then combined them in town. And after that you breed new monster with good status and easier to rising the stats.

And for your information every type of monster having different stats style. Like the picture above i am raising Plant type,so this monster is very good with Int, Life,Ski stats and easy to train. Of course i cannot train all stats to get great stats. Usually i sacrifice 2 stats that not relevant with the technique in the battle so it will not giving any effect when in battle.

See all my monster always having at least 3 status that very great. And the last 3 or 2 just barely reaching minimum 200 stats. The lifespan makes limitations to increase the stats.

So, what do you think about this retro games? Do you guys know this game?
Or just me that nerd playing this game. But, really this game is very nostalgic. I can spend almost 3 hours playing this game when i have spare time. Sometimes boring but when get the new combination of monster it will makes me motivate to rising the monster till reaching hall of fame. And it will took at least 5 hours gameplay to reach hall of fame. Thats why i am not bored playing this game. Sometimes i need to split 2 or 3 days just to rising 1 monster. And sometimes i cannot play this game when i am very busy.So, thats my content this time. I am hope that you guys enjoying my content and see you in the next content.
