Jade Cocoon

Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu is a role playing game developed by Genki and published in PAL territories by Crave Entertainment, blending traditional RPG combat with virtual pet style monster capture mechanics and featuring character design by Katsuya Kondo, the Studio Ghibli animator known for Kiki’s Delivery Service and Ocean Waves. The PAL release landscape comprises eight catalogued variants under five dedicated serials, all distributed in Full Jewel PAL cases on a single disc and carrying Hologram B authentication on the case. Documented variants cover dedicated UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain pressings under both the original Crave release and a UbiSoft Exclusive reissue across the UK, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, France, and Germany. Languages documented across the family include English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The earliest catalogued PAL release is dated 30th November 1998. Collector interest is significant, with the Studio Ghibli artistic pedigree and the niche RPG and monster collection hybrid genre making this a notable cult classic in the late PAL PlayStation catalogue.
