Before battle, you can opt to impress your foes. That's right, you "capture" new monsters by wowing them with your fighting prowess. After unleashing your best attacks against the enemy, it will decide whether you've got the chops or are just a poseur. If the monster doesn't get Joker envy, he'll unleash some serious wailing against your party - so there is always a risk when luring a monster to your team.

If you're looking for more unique means of monster acquisition, you can always try your hand at breeding. Combining any two monsters will create a hybrid with an amalgamation of skills and character traits. For the most part, it's cosmetic.

Square is deep in the localization process -- currently cleaning up DQM's translation. You too will be able to impress them all this November.
