Monster recruitment: Difference between revisions

Monster recruitment was simplistic in its original inception, being a fixed percentage that could not be changed by the player. If multiple recruitable monsters appear in the same encounter, only the final felled foe will have a chance to join the Hero. In the DS and [[cell phone]] versions, monster allies will only alternate between two lines of dialogue during party chat, as opposed to the fuller conversations of human characters.

As of 2019, the cell phone ports saw the addition of the [[Monster magnet|Monster Magnet]] accessory for the [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|the Hero]], which when equipped can increase the odds of a monster joining up by one rank. This is likely due to the release of [[Dragon Quest: Your Story]], which would have attracted a new audience to the title and such players would have desired an easier time collecting monsters.
