Monster Master: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

The profession is notable for frequently having its name changed even in the Japanese originals: it was changed to 魔物マスター (''Mamono Masutā'') in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake and it's subsequent ports, became 魔物ハンター (''Mamono Hantā'') in the seventh game, まもの使い (''Mamono Tsukai'') in the tenth game, まものマスター (''Mamono Masutā'') in both ''Stars'' and ''Walk''. In all ''Monsters'' titles the vocation is called the モンスターマスター (''Monsutā Masutā''). Not counting the alternate kanji and katakana spellings, this leaves the vocation with three distinct Japanese names.

In English the name was changed to Monster ''Masher'' for the seventh game to match the alteration in the original script but has since returned to being referred to as the Monster Master in peripheral media and spinoff titles, with ~~two~~ unusual exceptions. In the ''Terry's Wonderland'' event for ''Stars'' [[Terry|young Terry]] introduces himself as being a Monster ''Scout'', and in {{DQM3}} the vocation is referred to as Monster ''Wrangler'' despite the Japanese name of モンスターマスター being consistently translated as Monster Master.

In ''X'', the M.M. is much more physically robust than before, boasting the third highest strength and fourth highest HP of all vocations. This is balanced by having a pitiful agility and having the bar-none worst MP available. The breath abilities are put aside in favor of skills that support their monster ally.

While the ~~[[Madason|~~Hero]] of Dragon Quest V has attributes more akin to a physically stronger [[priest]], he is referred to in peripheral media as the legendary monster tamer and is the first protagonist in the series' history to be able to recruit monsters.
