Jade Cocoon 2/Characters

Jade Cocoon 2 has a large cast of characters that will interact with the PC in a variety of ways. These characters can be broken up into two categories: generic characters and story characters. Generic characters all wear masks showing their loyalty to a specific family of divine beasts and do not have names. The story characters all have names and over the course of the game many of them will have matches against the PC. Most story characters will only appear in certain locations, either a single location in the temple for some, or in ogrevines of their respective forests for others.
