Synical it's too bad they turned "Link" into "Mario" for the second dark cloud. They ruined their chances to make a PSP Action RPG legacy like Zelda. I had more fun playing this than any Zelda; the ocarina of time and twilight princess were bad ass games too. But the change to a Mario spin off character in the second was a turn off. Why'd they do that? Made a Warrior look like a plumber...
I have very few complaints with this game, I love it so much. The soundtrack, gameplay, world building (literally), story. It all works together brilliantly. Such a classic.
I feel there was more to the Black Knight but the developers nixed it for whatever reason. They never bothered to show or explain what happened to Aga.
Probably nixed due to time constraints. Darc Kloud Compendium has an iceberg on the game that shows it went through revisions over its development (some being the removal of the allies interacting with the Overworld which I'm still sore to find out about, the game world looking much different from what we have, and even the ability to fly around on a magic carpet).
I absolutely loved this game i sank alot of time in this game as a kid i remember before going into dungeons id make sure i have plenty of heals and repair potions nothing stinks more when your equipment break
Brand91 what i did was id Stay as ruby. And hide behind a pillar till the lady would come closer. If the shield is up then throw bombs at her. If you bring bombs she will die really fast
Dayum, your weapon was pretty underleveled in that Dran fight xD (Then again, Gladius is not a good weapon against Dran tbf). Not gonna lie though.. On my first time playing dark cloud, I had to fight Dean twice.. The first time I lost horrendously, the whole stage got blown up O.O. at that time I was unsure of how to hit him so I spammed jump slash xD. ~I was 7 at the time. P.S. the easiest boss for me was Queen LA Saia :p. I was so overpowered at the time, I kept her alive just to get a thrill of the fight lol
Love the game. One of my favorites. But why do they give you a sword after the black knight? It’s completely useless and you can’t use it for a new game+.
Well they had to give you something. Sure a weapon would not have been the best but I think it was the devs way of saying "don't worry. There's more" And then dark cloud 2 came out with the same sword there for Monica
Here are the names I call my party Elf boy or toad Selenakyle or catwoman Fatty fat or carmen Bitch or golddigger Ladygagag or Africa Mr. Harrimon or bugsbunny
I never played this back then on PS2. Played it on PS4 via digital and yeah the game is really fun. Great PS2 JRPG in its time. Got stuck understanding the gameplay mechanics with the weapons breaking and having hit points with the water stamina and the Status Break system. I was 3 trophies away from platinum. Just needed to do the fishing quests and do a certain thing to kill Dran which I didn't do in my playthrough. 84% of trophies, which I got. Once you understand how the gameplay works with using your allies and their roles in dungeons and boss fights, the game gets easier.
I swear it never took me this long to kill Dran lmao. I always used to go into this fight with a bunch of bombs and soon as he lands, cheese the hell outta him
The trick to him was you have to change the element on your weapon to hurt him. I was really confused with that myself when I first fought him. Though this is coming from the guy who couldn’t figure out that he had the Sun Giant upside down for 3 years and therefore couldn’t complete the area since I didn’t fulfill all the requirements of the pilots.
I remember my first play through so well as I didn't know that Xiao would turn into an ally so I proceed to name her "MSFRISKY" then I got that potion and she turned into an ally. I named Toan Norman I named Goro Jake I forget what I named ruby I can't remember the real name of the staff guy but I na,ed him Baba then I got some liking for osmonds name so I kept his name.
Is this game on ps4? I remember growing up whatching my mom play this game all the way through several tests throughout my childhood days. I miss those days. Im getting a ps4 soon and if this game is on their I'm getting it for my mom. Anyways let me know
Whoa I never knew about the black knight pendragon. I played 1 all the way in the last dungeon when that one guy stabbed himself to be able to send you back in time to fight the genie or something like that and then I never played again 😢 I just remember using the rabbit guy with the gun and nobody else once I got him
yeah there was the post game dungeon which had 100 levels, and the knight was the last boss of the game. You got a cool sword at the end of it.... but it was totally pointless because at that point you had 100%ed the game lol
god that dark genie boss fight was annoying to watch 0 skill at all, not even hitting every possible moment and using goro to avoid getting hit it was so satisfying to beat it for me because it was so stupidly broken. seriousky fuck that low damage wind attack that you cant avaoid without perfectly timing goro's charge attack
I went back and kicked the Dark Genie's entropic ass with it. Would have been cool if it could have been transferred over to the sequel or unlocked something in it.
I don't think the comment I responded to is here anymore or may have meant to put it on a Dark Cloud 2 video, it was in response as to why Max and Monica didn't end up together and I was personally glad they didn't because I kind of expected Monica to be a distant descendant of Max or something, not Toan. As far as possible connections to DC1, I always thought the continent the sequel takes place in may have been the unseen industrially advanced continent from the original that the Nazi-wannabe guy comes from that initially unleashes the Dark Genie. Either that, or the book that is shown in the first game to contain all of the events of DC1 is like some kind of fairy tale story that Max has that his mother would have read to him as a child.
I never could beat the Dark Genie because of that stupid unblockable unavoidable attack he does where he beats his wings at you :/ I stopped playing and refused to keep playing because of that.
I cheated. And got the best weapons in the game at sun and moon temple (I found the glitch their if not i would of gotten them in the first dungeon) So... yay im a cheater and everything was maxed out........
Ha. This game was actually one of the first games i ever played but i stopped playing it because i couldent even get Passed the first level because i was very young and literally god awful at video games and i was for some reason scared at the game lol.
The Shocking Mosark I remember the game scaring the shit out of me when I played it at about 5 years old. the part that scared me was when Seda (the white haired guy who looks like Sephiroth from final fantasy VII) gets temporarily possessed by the dark genie at the beginning of the game and his eyes turn red.
@@Westile did i say dark souls was hard? No, pointed out your complaint about a some mechanical problem in a game probably leads you to complain about every game. I used dark souls franchise as the example as it is well known to not be beginner friendly.
@@pickleboy6059 And did I mention Dark Souls at all prior to you bringing it up? Like I said, you defaulted to Dark Souls because that's what your Zoomer brain uses as a foothold for game discussion. The last boss of this game is bad and I could write an essay on why.
Brings back so many good memories. This game never gets old. Easily a classic.

I have very few complaints with this game, I love it so much. The soundtrack, gameplay, world building (literally), story. It all works together brilliantly. Such a classic.
Same I wish I could find more games like it but like very similar I didn’t enjoy 2 as much honestly no game like this one
Dark Cloud, such a great game. I remember the Ice Queen boss was so hard to beat.
Same here !
realli? i used bout 15-20 fire gems an she was toast.🤗🤗
@@sebastianabsolution655
There's probably multiple ways to defeat a boss, but I remember the Ice Queen being a very tough boss.
@@TheGeekPunkGamer she'z not tuff @ all.
@@TheGeekPunkGamer she wasn’t too hard just use fire weapons and lightning I also came in with lots of throwing weapons
I want dark cloud remastered
Well they have it on the ps4 store dude but it not remastered and I dought it wont be.
A full remake would be even better
We're living in a world of remakes right now, so this game totally deserves a remake! Lets make it happen.
where Dark Cloud 3 ?
@@AFGuidesHD Dark Cloud 2 was so much worse than Dark Cloud 1. Unless they're going back to Dark Cloud 1 style, I'd rather avoid DC3.
I like how Seda carries the assassin outside on the end of his sword and THROWS HIM OFF THE BALCONY!
I loved this game as a kid! This and Ocarina of Time we're my favorites as a kid!
Ah memories. One of my 1st PS2 games I bought after getting the console just before GC/Xbox were released. Great game.
If there's anything I learned about Master Utan, it's that it doesn't make up its mind about whether something counts as a hit or not.
I feel there was more to the Black Knight but the developers nixed it for whatever reason. They never bothered to show or explain what happened to Aga.
Probably nixed due to time constraints. Darc Kloud Compendium has an iceberg on the game that shows it went through revisions over its development (some being the removal of the allies interacting with the Overworld which I'm still sore to find out about, the game world looking much different from what we have, and even the ability to fly around on a magic carpet).
I gotta say I got stuck the most on King's Curse because it was the first time a charge attack was necessary to progress in battle.
I absolutely loved this game i sank alot of time in this game as a kid i remember before going into dungeons id make sure i have plenty of heals and repair potions nothing stinks more when your equipment break
i consider la saia the hardest boss in the game! because her attacks are so annoying and i kept losing!
use ruby in conjuction with toan (or however you named him)
Brand91 what i did was id Stay as ruby. And hide behind a pillar till the lady would come closer. If the shield is up then throw bombs at her. If you bring bombs she will die really fast
I just passed that part in 3 mins
I got her cornered at the wall and spammed Ruby fire attack
Dark cloud and Arc the lad are the best RPG games in history of PlayStation. Love it
"So you hate me too?" Just like how Gaspard said.
Oml, I never made that connection.
Was it just my game that no matter what I named my main character, Rondo always called him Toan at the end of his dialogue for La Saia's boss fight?
my favorite part was , Queens ❤❤❤
Gonna purchase this soon on the Psn store

I don't understand how I managed to beat this game so long ago bc now I struggle to kill Dran XD

N o s t a l g i a
Viva Italia pizza e mandoliniiii
I swear it never took me this long to kill Dran lmao. I always used to go into this fight with a bunch of bombs and soon as he lands, cheese the hell outta him
Yeah it seems like they didn’t really level weapons much before hand it took me like a few minutes
I remember finishing this game in under 24 hours, including the 100 floors of the demon shaft.
King's Curse music is pretty tight not gonna lie. First track I recognize. The sword is dope too.
Also I never beat Dark Genie's final form
The trick to him was you have to change the element on your weapon to hurt him. I was really confused with that myself when I first fought him. Though this is coming from the guy who couldn’t figure out that he had the Sun Giant upside down for 3 years and therefore couldn’t complete the area since I didn’t fulfill all the requirements of the pilots.
dude omg the ice queen scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
He named the guy with the axe fatty XD
I name him fatty fat or fatass or carmen. I played this game to much
Bwahahahahaha. I also named him Cartman.
I remember my first play through so well as I didn't know that Xiao would turn into an ally so I proceed to name her "MSFRISKY" then I got that potion and she turned into an ally. I named Toan Norman I named Goro Jake I forget what I named ruby I can't remember the real name of the staff guy but I na,ed him Baba then I got some liking for osmonds name so I kept his name.
Frozen Fusion the staff dude? His name is "ungaga." I belive
Lmao MsFrisky is too good!!!!
*Gives a cat a peice of candy*

“oh, so thats where that trend came from.”
Me learning about this game because Seda looks like a f*cking Sefikura lovechild
Here, secret boss gives you OMEGA Chronicle, now go beat the Final Boss again just for the lolz~
Is this game on ps4? I remember growing up whatching my mom play this game all the way through several tests throughout my childhood days. I miss those days. Im getting a ps4 soon and if this game is on their I'm getting it for my mom. Anyways let me know
Dylan Hyatt yah this game and dark cloud 2 are on the ps4. Can't remember how much both games cost but they are on the playstation store.
*breaks chronicle two followed by intense internal screaming*
This game was so good. Here is a good question what is better dark cloud or jack and daxter?
Nice question, I don't know...Both of them took part of my childhood, so probably I love them in the same way.
This makes me realize I am nowhere near ready to fight the dark genie lol I got some training to do!
Does anyone else think cofagrigus is a knock off off Kings curse
Anyone else think blizzeta from Zelda was stolen from la saia? Both are female partners who gets cursed and turn into icy demons.
Whoa I never knew about the black knight pendragon. I played 1 all the way in the last dungeon when that one guy stabbed himself to be able to send you back in time to fight the genie or something like that and then I never played again 😢 I just remember using the rabbit guy with the gun and nobody else once I got him
yeah there was the post game dungeon which had 100 levels, and the knight was the last boss of the game. You got a cool sword at the end of it.... but it was totally pointless because at that point you had 100%ed the game lol
Also there was an amazing theory that the knight was Toan's dad
god that dark genie boss fight was annoying to watch 0 skill at all, not even hitting every possible moment and using goro to avoid getting hit it was so satisfying to beat it for me because it was so stupidly broken. seriousky fuck that low damage wind attack that you cant avaoid without perfectly timing goro's charge attack
7:50 the Naruto-esque music lol
There is an easier way to defeat dran just use Xiao from the opposite side of the cave and Dodge slow but you know easier
37:04 YEET!
where do you need the chronicle 2 sword anymore after defeating black knight? :D
absolutely nothing lol
I went back and kicked the Dark Genie's entropic ass with it. Would have been cool if it could have been transferred over to the sequel or unlocked something in it.
I was kind of glad that didn't happen since I kind of had a feeling she might have been a distant descendant of him.
Mr. Vidja Gamez that would make Toan's last name either Monica's last name or something else.
I don't think the comment I responded to is here anymore or may have meant to put it on a Dark Cloud 2 video, it was in response as to why Max and Monica didn't end up together and I was personally glad they didn't because I kind of expected Monica to be a distant descendant of Max or something, not Toan.

Childhood
What's up, guyx. Brevo! oceanic dapper What do you think, gxys? !
Why was the Dran fight so long? Did you purposely not upgrade weapons?
no idea, don't have much upgrades at beginning
you are supposed to hit him once with each character
I can kill dran with xiao only?
I really dont understand why the ice queen wants to fight? She wasn't in the dark genie spell or nothing.
She died at the bottom of the ocean, heart encased in rage. Waiting for the first person to find her, her lover. Instead, it was you
‘Instead it was you.’ Story of my life!
Playing right now but can't defeat the silver wolves
The ones on demon shaft? Im pretty sure you just gotta hit them with no element... Also this is 3 years too late and im an idiot
@SOUL SEEKER yeah I beat the game. I appreciate your response though lol
Wanted this game so bad. Got it. Hated it.
I will call Goro for Greig
Do you play dark souls?
amazing game
Why even use the sword
I never could beat the Dark Genie because of that stupid unblockable unavoidable attack he does where he beats his wings at you :/
I stopped playing and refused to keep playing because of that.
If you're using stamina drinks it won't hurt you.
Exellent game
Came here from Ghost Stories
I know
Feels monster hunter y
I cheated. And got the best weapons in the game at sun and moon temple
(I found the glitch their if not i would of gotten them in the first dungeon)
