Something I found out recently is that Jade Cocoon's art was molded by Katsuya Kondō of Studio Ghibli. That would explain why the art in that game is some of the best on Playstation 1. It looks absolutely incredible.
They should bring this franchise back.
I initially was like "wait I never heard of this" and then realized that yes, I had seen the ads and even the cover in a rental shop I think, but had no idea what it was because the covers were this unevocative CG noise of Y2K design.
