KT AMA: Questions and Answers

QuestionsAnswers from Fujita
Never got to play these back in the day, how accessible is it by today’s standards?
-Bogard @GBogard07
With the new memo feature, High-speed mode, additional Freeze Slots, and other new features, the game is even easier to play than ever.
Any chance on it being ported to Playstation?
- Mirage Destiny @FadedMirage
We don’t have any plans to port Monster Rancher 1&2 DX to PlayStation consoles currently.
Was there any summoning idea that has been thought out when designing the game but never implemented? I’m glad that the remaster gives more accessible way to summon monsters. I hope the next game will also do the same, maybe using sound, drawing or images
-Rhez @RhezaW
Our goal for Monster Rancher 1&2 DX was to recreate the fun that players had when playing the original versions. We have utilized a number of different monster creation methods and I believe that will continue in the future as well.
Any chance of a demo? Curious but never played it before -xitchyx @RatatoskxxWe don’t have any plans to release a demo version at this time.
Will the game receive a new/updated localization, or will it just use the original text?
-Kogath @MHKogath
We utilized the original text while also adding in a new localization.
Are there any plans to add the OSTs of 1, 2, 3, 4, and/or EVO to streaming services like Spotify?
-Wedge @_Dwedge_
We don’t currently have any plans to add the OSTs of those titles to streaming services.
Will we eventually be getting any info about what will be changed during the proposed balance adjustments? Many of us still play MR2 competitively and would be interested in seeing what is different about the rebalance in DX.
-Nash @MrMoosebones
We are currently not planning to release info about the balance adjustments. We hope you can try out the game yourself when it releases later this year.
Can this be played offline and is the digital cd database available offline?
-Ardee
With the exception of some battle modes, the game can be played offline. The CD monster generation system can also be utilized while you are offline.
Will multiplayer have crossplay?
-Anonymous
Battles will be across all platforms. However, battling with a friend locally is only available in the Switch version.
Will the slate feature in Monster Rancher 2 work as it did in the original?
-Jack Madrox
The slate system will be the same as it was in the original Monster Rancher 2.
Multi lanuages?
-adriluzsaez
Only English will be available.
Is there any difference in the effect of Magic Banana comparing MR2 and MR1&2DX? About +1 week of lifespan
-てる @LotteryR
We changed the Magic Banana item from being an item that affects the lifespan of a monster, to one that reduces stress and fatigue
Have you considered looking at new methods and technologies to generate monsters? For example QR codes or the Infrared camera on the Switch Joy-Con
-黒凧 BlackKite @bk2128
Generating monsters will be exclusively through the CD database
Are there any plans of upgrading the game’s art to more modern standards? If not, would modding be possible and still have multiplayer enabled?
-Sergio Alonso @NoobO_Samupo
We don’t have any plans to include MOD support.
What about Mok seeds bug it was fixxed? And the damage in life span after errantry even with monster at full health?
-SnailDragon @Sasoriyuu
Both have been fixed in this version.
Hi Guys, Will MR2DX still contain the Tecmo game exclusives like Kasumi/Pixie? If so, how will they be obtained without a disc system?
@DigitalHazard
Kasumi and other cameo monsters will be available. However, there will be cases where you cannot use the same CD name in order to obtain them as you did in the original versions. Utilizing the game’s original CD database you can search and select songs based on the song name and artist, and enjoy obtaining monsters this way.
Looking at the wording on Online Battles, will the battles ONLY be automated battles, or will there be real-time interaction between trainers via Multiplayer?
-Argent Leftovers @ArgentLeftovers
You aren’t able to battle in real time, but you can download the monster data from other players and battle them either as a computer controlled monster, or as two computer controlled monsters: 1P VS COM, COM VS COM. You can battle other players locally via the Switch version if you are utilizing the same console.
Monster Rancher is a game I deeply loved and inspired me to become a game designer now. I was very sad when it disappeared, and so happy when this when this announced. Are there reasons why Monster Rancher came back? Is there a chance for new games to come?
-KarubinT @Nivlacart
We were able to bring back the Monster Rancher series thanks to all of the love and support from our fans. As 2022 marks the Monster Rancher series’ 25th anniversary, we are working hard to meet the expectations of all of our fans.
How will unlocking monsters work in this remaster since the newer consoles and Steam and iOS don’t have discs anymore? Will it link with Spotify?
-Salem Sabertooth @AplphaWrecker224
Utilizing the game’s original CD database, you can search and select songs based on the song name and artist, and enjoy obtaining monsters this way.
Can you have a 100% completion in MR2? By just playing the game….
Rendy Ajadech
In terms of completing the game, you can work towards obtaining every monster and winning every tournament.
1. Will the Steam version be able to battle with monsters from the Switch version also between English and Japanese players?
2. Will tournament opponents be made more difficult?
3. Is there a list of changes for re-balancing trainable monsters?
-MonsterFenrick @AlleyArtwork
1. Yes monsters from both versions will be able to battle each other, as well as being able to battle monsters from players using the Japanese version.
2. There are no significant changes being made to the tournaments.
3. We do not have any plans to release a list of changes.
We hope you can try out the game yourself when it releases later this year.

Monster Rancher Metropolis Website

The Monster Rancher Metropolis forum is archived here (read-only) after Lisa Shock passed away. The back-end is lost, so it no longer functions as an active forum, but the content of the forum messages are preserved. Our Forums and Chatroom have been replaced with common Social Media platforms (Facebook & Discord).

In Memory of Lisa Shock

A Tribute For Lisa - My sentiments and Lisa's official obituary.

Thanks to Ashley and Nash on Facebook for pointing me in the direction of a 'copy' of the MRM web page files (Sans database).
I have included a backup of the site, which was taken from 2014, and hosted it on Legendcup.com as the Monster-Rancher-Metropolis.com Archive.

While MRM is now an archive and cannot be posted to any longer, you may use Facebook or Discord to talk with a community of ranchers!

Please consider a one-time, or yearly donation to help with the site's domain and hosting costs. Learn how your donations will be used. Thank you to ALL the loyal fans and participants over the years, without you all Legendcup and MRM would never have been what it was.
