So good to see there is still a community around both Dark Cloud, it makes me really happy that my favorite games of all time still have interest by people! I am making arrangements of the soundtracks into Rock/Metal version, for the moment I've already done Black Knight Pendragon and Gundorada Workshop, and I will probably arrange more soundtracks from both games in a near future :)
Hey HydroGene, I hope you are enjoying the holidays! Thank you for the support! 😀🌟 I was always a metal guy growing up, I think I saw some of your videos on Reddit! Really good stuff fam, keep up the good work!! 🎶🎸 This channel focuses on documenting Dark Cloud's development as well as providing never before seen English translations of Dark Cloud content that was previously Japan only!

Same man, I got it for Christmas 2001 with a bunch of other games, Devil May Cry, Soul Reaver 2, and ofcourse Dark Cloud. Those were the good days. Basically the whole demo disc I got with my PS2 I got all those games from.
Thank you so much for the support Shazepe! We'll see where that information goes since i'm working on multiple projects at once for this channel! I think it may be included in a bigger project which will release in the new year! The best is yet to come my friend, thank you for the support 🙏🌟
Right, there was so many cool ideas they could have went with! It would have been dope if they gave you the ability to duel any monster in the later half of the game considering there's no duels starting from Muska Laka! The Dark Cloud Compendium is home to a lot of exclusive Dark Cloud content such as never before seen Japanese Translations of the TGS 1999 beta which looked radically different, footage of a playable Seda from a lost character trailer as well as an interview series I did with Level 5 employees where we discussed Dark Cloud's development and the changes it went through; that series is a 2 parter! Feel free to check it out and explore the channel! m.ua-cam.com/video/K7p41x_goJY/v-deo.html
The Dark Could beta remains one of of my favorite beta mysteries, the game started out so very very different, it gives me some Resident Evil 4/Devil May Cry vibes, which eventually they changed to a new IP entirely.
Oh man just like DMC/RE4 Dark Cloud could have been SO much more different! 💯 It's funny you mention that, I made a MASSIVE 1 HOUR LONG Dark Cloud Iceberg going through the most obscure Dark Cloud development SECRETS and TRIVIA 🌟🥳 ua-cam.com/video/tHecKkIEOWE/v-deo.html
What a coincidence, small world right! This whole channel is home to a number of exclusive Dark Cloud content such as never before seen Japanese translations of the Japanese Beta/Movie Discs showcasing a radically different game, I found and uploaded a never before seen chatacter trailer which shows footage of Seda being playable as well as interviews I had with Level 5 employees regarding Dark Cloud's developement and the changes it went through!

Thank you so much CuboidPixel for the kind words! 🙏🌟 I actually took a 9 month sabbatical from my job to create this channel and it's videos along with a big video project that will be unveiled in the in future! I'm going back to work starting January but I made sure to make a handful of videos to post and keep this channel active! This Compendium was made to celebrate 20 years of Dark Cloud so it'll be active for it's 20th anniversary; at the same time there's only so much Dark Cloud content one can make. I'm very passionate about Dark Cloud so I want to make these videos as high quality as possible, even if they are niche which is why I took the 9 months off. I wanted to make this channel in hopes that it would inspire others to become Dark Cloud content creators with DC themed channels!
There is so much cut content it's crazy I actually had to focus on the most interesting bits for this video, there's actually even more beta stuff we found so another beta video will be made :) Feel free to subscribe to stay up to date with our Dark Cloud Preservation
@@DarkCloudCompendium Some day they should do a remaster of DC 1& 2 that includes all of the scrapped content. That would bring back the fanbase and pave the way for Sony to green light Dark Cloud 3. Since Level 5 said they're basically waiting on Sony's go-ahead to begin work on a new game in the series.
@@thedemonnoof4383 I'd love for a Dark Cloud 1 and 2 remake for PS4 or even PS5, there's so much potential in this IP I know it would be amazing with today's tech! ✌😄

The Dark Cloud Compendium this is amazing! I loved Dark Cloud 1 and 2 but never got a chance to finish them. I’ve been debating breaking out the PS2 and playing them again but fear that I won’t get that into it because it’s been a long time and games have changed so much since then. I had no idea that Level 5 was still around until today. I saw Ni No Kuni and thought it looked familiar and very interesting, come to find out Level 5 made that as well! I wish Level 5 would do a rehash or new Dark Cloud! It was truly a great game with elements unseen until they made them!
@@prestonthomas5698 I'm glad you enjoyed the video my friend! It's crazy how well those games have aged overtime, the Georama Mechnaic is just as solid as it was 20 years ago! If your still into dungeon crawlers then you should definitely go for it, classics only get better with age 🌟 It's crazy how well Level 5 has been doing, they definitely prospered over the years to become one of the biggest studios in Japan, they have offices in Canada and San Francisco now too as well a own a bunch of smaller game and animation studios! A new Dark Cloud or remaster would be phenomenal since the mechanics are still fresh but unfortunately it's a shared property so both Sony and Level 5 must come to an agreement, I think that's what's holding it back. At the same time Nino Kuni 2 has the Georama system so it's cool to see them still iterate on their trademark gameplay system and the two Dark Cloud games have been re-released digitally on PS4 and are upscaled to 4K which looks gorgeous! It's crazy how fast these 20 years have went haha, feel free to check out the rest of the channel for more content on Dark Cloud's development!
The Dark Cloud Compendium hey! Thanks for replying. It’s very rare that someone actually replies to comments. It’s amazing that you have so much knowledge about Level 5 and the Dark Cloud series. I definitely might break out the PS2 and go for it! Might also check out No No Kuni 2 as well! I had no idea that they rereleased them for PS4. Might have to get one now! Keep up the great work/videos and I’ll be sure to keep following!
Hey @@prestonthomas5698 thank you for the kind words! 🙏💜 I always have a good time reading the comments that people leave on these videos! 🌟 I'm glad that people are finding these videos entertaining, I have been holding on to this Dark Cloud information for such a long time, the preservation of information is super important, I had a couple of health scares a few years ago and that motivated me to create this channel to make sure this information will not be lost! 📚🌍 I actually have no background or experience in video editing, script writing or editing but i'm stubborn so I find a way haha! 😂 I'm very passionate about Dark Cloud, I was fortunate enough to meet a couple of staff members who worked on the games and they were phenomenal! 😃 Seeing and reading about other people's experiences with Dark Cloud makes me happy, it's amazing how much time has passed since those games initially came out! The PS4 re-releases are solid and my favorite way to play the games, they are totally worth it! 🌟👍

Top of Demon Shaft!!!!!! If we can see what it looks like (if it has a top that is) than by all means use that camera mode! Daemon......... so Demon Shaft is actually place to connect the human realm with the gods' realm or was? Than who or what is the Black Knight Pendragon ,its guardian? A corrupt man in service to a fallen god or something?? This is fascinating!! It's like DC1's version of Heaven on High [actually the other way around on this] from FF14! =D
I most definitely can show you what the top looks like, it'll be off screen footage since I have no way to cature PS2 footage but more than happy to oblige!
@@DarkCloudCompendium awesome! =D Doing that means you can also do comparisons of Seda's and King Raybrandt's rooms some point too. ^^ =3 this is awesome! ^ v ^

@Zelda of the Moon Garden yes. I remember that being said. Although in a recent video about the mods their working on I like the idea of added lore even if tiny tid bits lol. And I definitely believe the theory that the black knight is Aga lol
I bought Dark Cloud 1 & 2 and the Demo Disc for DC2 sealed a few years back. I'm going to make a shadow box for the factory sealed ones since I already have opened copies that I still play on occasion.
That's so cool, I have the Japanese Taikenban demos of Dark Cloud 1 and Dark Dark Chronicle but ony Chronicles' is sealed! Those demo discs are getting harder to find!
@@DarkCloudCompendium Yeah they are. I have an extra copy of the DC2 Demo if you need it for your collection. If Sony and Level 5 don't get together on a DC3 it's going to be a missed opportunity on their part with the PS5 just around the corner. Especially since everyone is currently having a blast with world building in the new Animal Crossing game on Switch. It would bring more gamers over to PlayStation who have an interest in those game mechanics but are also looking for the Dark Cloud game features that would never exist in an Animal Crossing game.
@@thedemonnoof4383 That's a really kind offer but I'll have to decline because our mail services aren't running any more I totally agree 101% if you go back to the Level 5 interviews I did with our sources that worked on Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 it's crazy, they look back on the game as sort of a missed opportunity because it really could have been the Minecraft of that era had Sony not told them to reduce emphasis on the Georama system. They would knock it out of the park for sure if they did one today!

Hey there SgCy, you are most definitely correct! There was an early Dark Cloud 3 concept piece that was placed in a Dark Chronicle Japanese artbook that corroborates this as this concept art features Rogue Galaxy's town Zerard in the background! If your curious about this I interviewed some Level 5 staff and asked them questions regarding Dark Cloud's development and the connection between DC 3 and Rogue Galaxy ua-cam.com/video/K7p41x_goJY/v-deo.html
That "unused map" is actually the second floor of baskers store! You can access it as soon as you put his second floor atla piece on :) nothing there tho
Hey hey Weathers, I hope all is well! The online features would have allowed you to share your village online as well as play in another friends world; all with real players which was groundbreaking for the time especially on console. The Dreamcast did online prior but this would have been the first major PlayStation online game, Twisted Metal Black later took that honor! DC's online was scrapped fairly early in development as the title went thru many different dev changes as deadlines were tight, playable Seda was also cut (I have a 10 minute long video on this whole topic and how we recovered him) PS2 broadband titles did not come out until after DC was released. I hope you enjoyed the video my friend and stay safe :)

Isn't 12:32 a room for Baskers Store in the final game? I know that room was never used and Basker is never seen in this room in the final game. This room can be found in the second floor of that store in The Queens.
I'm doing my best to find a way to get the files back online so others can access them! I'll definitely let you know when I do, hopefully within the week 😃
Hey Momo, I hope all is well! Here is a link with all of the known tools for Dark Cloud data extraction including White Cloud and Light Cloud! darkcloud.forumcommunity.net/?t=61519058&fbclid=IwAR21ZEHO3l0zJ1vmJZnQXBh27w5SkvxzmdDL0UtuIFzfiePym2qBocIi4T8#lastpost
Thanks for linking the extraction tools. I couldn't wait to try them after reading the article on TCRF. But what do you do with the files after they are extracted to get, for example, the character portraits? I managed to get a few neat images by cutting the files with a hex editor, but i'm sure that's not the right way to do it, as the images are sometimes scrambled. Any ideas?
Hey Michael, it's good to hear from you again I hope all is well! ✌🌟 From what I understand the images come out scrambled but you can use a tool called EZSwizzle to unscramble them! I really wish I could help you more but i'm actually really bad at this sort of stuff! 😔 If I had the technical knowhow I would have picked these games clean by now haha 😂 Maybe someone on the Dark Cloud Reddit can help? 🤔 I'm going to be making a video which runs through the new Debug Disc that we just recently found sometime in the new year! Happy Holidays my friend! 😀
@@DarkCloudCompendium The discovery of the debug executable really came out of blue. Who would have thought that a random demo disc, that didn't even feature Dark Cloud, would contain something like this. What an exciting time for Dark Cloud. Looking forward to enjoying your content in 2020.
@@michaelmoore3787 Right! This debug disc came out of no where but it's not the first debug mode we found! Previously 2017 when I was playing Dark Cloud on PCSX2 I found that there was text referencing debug rooms when I asked Punk, who is an expert at PS2 code, to look at the data he discovered several codes such as a complete debug menu, dungeon debug mode, free camera, the ability to hack jumping back in (minus the animation) and access to a free camera! This allowed us to get a better understanding of Dark Cloud's development! Flash forward to a couple days ago the amazing Punk7890 found a fully debug enabled executable of Dark Cloud on a demo disc called Jampack Winter 2002 under a dummy file. When I contacted him he was kind enough to share an ISO of the disc with me and allowed me to share it with others! What's nice is that this new disc has features that are missing from the retail debug menu! The disc boots to a debug menu contains free cameras and more! I hope you enjoyed the Compendium for 2019 Michael, I'm going to try to keep it going as long as possible! Much love🙏💜
When I heard you say that there's a way to listen to the game's music in the debug menu I flipped my shit, now I'm pissed that no one has gotten the idea to upload the game's soundtrack to UA-cam using that instead of relying on the extremely off-note OST version of the tracks.
Right! I actually have footage of Dark Cloud usuing an enhanced soundtrack these tracks were replaced with the low quality ones we have now where as the tracks were repurposed for the official soundtrack release. Not sure why they did it as it sounded awesome, i'll post that footage sometime
Hey there @@TrayGChevorletCorvette I hope all is well 😄 I'm making a second Beta and Cut Content video that is filled to the brim with new content, music, enemies and more!
Around 3:52 that beta georama being found ont he disc has got me thinking. Have u and the others liek wise of words (words of wind? I apologies to all if i butchered his name) and dayuppy scoured regional discs. What i mean is have u checked the game files on the jp version and also usa and pal??? If yes, then if so then what differences did u find (like was there some regional exclusive beta/lost/cut/unused stuff that wasnt in other regions ect. If yes is it worth making a video on or essentially would u mind telling me what they were. If u jave checked but there was no regional exclusives rhen ok If no would u ever think about it. (If any of that was hard to read id be happy to rephrase.)
That's an excellent question Liam one that we definitely considered when looking at the Beta and cut contents of dark cloud ☁️ We went through both the Japanese and European variance in addition the English version of Dark Cloud when looking at the Japanese version the main exclusive cut content piece that we found was actually the removed lizard from the fire dungeon the lizard enemy he wasn't available in the other versions of the game instead being replaced by opar perhaps opar and that lizard monster are both related as both the reptiles but Opar doesn't exist in the Japanese version and the lizard version doesn't exist in the European and American versions other than that the differences are fairly minimal the main difference though is that the Japanese dates has a different build version has a different build date than the American one We also looked at the demo versions both the Japanese demo and the American demo so far what we notice is that the Japanese demo has the earliest build dates of any version of dark cloud available but other than that no differences aside from cut content and Beta material🌟
@@DarkCloudCompendium hi there. It's liam crutch here. I just wandered when does the dark cloud demo disc made. I assume sometime between the "beta" and the final release
Hey there, there are two demos the American demo and the JP demo: The American Demo is the same build date as the NTCS build The JP demo predates the final JP release's build date by a few months meaning that the JP Demo version of DC is the earliest build date version we have. From looking at both the JP demo and Jp Final we couldn't find any new beta files in the demo version that were not already discovered in the vanilla JP release! Hope this answers it :) @@Darkcloudbeta7_yt
The map area at 12:34 is used in the game, its an upstairs door in Queens! I was impressed with the room when I saw it in game cos it's very highly detailed!

During TGS 1999 Sony revealed that Dark Cloud would be one of the first games to utilize online, players would have been able to visit other people's villages and share their own village online. Dark Cloud's producer Kentaro Motomura noted in 2000 that this online mode was scrapped due to time restrictions by Sony
@@TrayGChevorletCorvette The amount of demands and pressure Sony put on Level 5 was crazy especially when you take into account that they were a new studio at the time. In our Level 5 interviews an employee told me that at the end of the Japanese release of Dark Cloud Sony was proud of the work Level 5 created in the timeframe! I'd love to DC 3 for PS5, Rogue Galaxy initially started development as Dark Cloud 3 before Level 5 changed their mind 6 months into the project's history, a lot of the concepts from that Dark Cloud 3 pitch such as story and characters were carried over into Rogue Galaxy

I'm going back to work starting January but I made sure to make a handful of videos to post and keep this channel active!
This Compendium was made to celebrate 20 years of Dark Cloud so it'll be active for it's 20th anniversary; at the same time there's only so much Dark Cloud content one can make. I'm very passionate about Dark Cloud so I want to make these videos as high quality as possible, even if they are niche which is why I took the 9 months off.
I wanted to make this channel in hopes that it would inspire others to become Dark Cloud content creators with DC themed channels!
@@DarkCloudCompendium That's awesome! Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to seeing new content!
On top of that, we could’ve dueled any monster we wanted. Maaaan, Level 5 cut out a lot of really cool stuff from Dark Cloud.
There is so much cut content it's crazy I actually had to focus on the most interesting bits for this video, there's actually even more beta stuff we found so another beta video will be made :)

@@DarkCloudCompendium Some day they should do a remaster of DC 1& 2 that includes all of the scrapped content. That would bring back the fanbase and pave the way for Sony to green light Dark Cloud 3. Since Level 5 said they're basically waiting on Sony's go-ahead to begin work on a new game in the series.
@@thedemonnoof4383 I'd love for a Dark Cloud 1 and 2 remake for PS4 or even PS5, there's so much potential in this IP I know it would be amazing with today's tech! ✌😄
@@DarkCloudCompendium you can get the original on PS4 right now. Its oart of the "PS2 on PS4" games

The Dark Cloud Compendium this is amazing! I loved Dark Cloud 1 and 2 but never got a chance to finish them. I’ve been debating breaking out the PS2 and playing them again but fear that I won’t get that into it because it’s been a long time and games have changed so much since then.
I had no idea that Level 5 was still around until today. I saw Ni No Kuni and thought it looked familiar and very interesting, come to find out Level 5 made that as well!
I wish Level 5 would do a rehash or new Dark Cloud! It was truly a great game with elements unseen until they made them!
@@prestonthomas5698 I'm glad you enjoyed the video my friend! It's crazy how well those games have aged overtime, the Georama Mechnaic is just as solid as it was 20 years ago! If your still into dungeon crawlers then you should definitely go for it, classics only get better with age 🌟
It's crazy how well Level 5 has been doing, they definitely prospered over the years to become one of the biggest studios in Japan, they have offices in Canada and San Francisco now too as well a own a bunch of smaller game and animation studios!
A new Dark Cloud or remaster would be phenomenal since the mechanics are still fresh but unfortunately it's a shared property so both Sony and Level 5 must come to an agreement, I think that's what's holding it back. At the same time Nino Kuni 2 has the Georama system so it's cool to see them still iterate on their trademark gameplay system and the two Dark Cloud games have been re-released digitally on PS4 and are upscaled to 4K which looks gorgeous!
It's crazy how fast these 20 years have went haha, feel free to check out the rest of the channel for more content on Dark Cloud's development!
The Dark Cloud Compendium hey! Thanks for replying. It’s very rare that someone actually replies to comments. It’s amazing that you have so much knowledge about Level 5 and the Dark Cloud series.
I definitely might break out the PS2 and go for it! Might also check out No No Kuni 2 as well!
I had no idea that they rereleased them for PS4. Might have to get one now!
Keep up the great work/videos and I’ll be sure to keep following!
Hey @@prestonthomas5698 thank you for the kind words! 🙏💜 I always have a good time reading the comments that people leave on these videos! 🌟
I'm glad that people are finding these videos entertaining, I have been holding on to this Dark Cloud information for such a long time, the preservation of information is super important, I had a couple of health scares a few years ago and that motivated me to create this channel to make sure this information will not be lost! 📚🌍 I actually have no background or experience in video editing, script writing or editing but i'm stubborn so I find a way haha! 😂
I'm very passionate about Dark Cloud, I was fortunate enough to meet a couple of staff members who worked on the games and they were phenomenal! 😃 Seeing and reading about other people's experiences with Dark Cloud makes me happy, it's amazing how much time has passed since those games initially came out!
The PS4 re-releases are solid and my favorite way to play the games, they are totally worth it! 🌟👍

Top of Demon Shaft!!!!!!
If we can see what it looks like (if it has a top that is) than by all means use that camera mode!
Daemon......... so Demon Shaft is actually place to connect the human realm with the gods' realm or was? Than who or what is the Black Knight Pendragon ,its guardian? A corrupt man in service to a fallen god or something??
This is fascinating!!
It's like DC1's version of Heaven on High [actually the other way around on this] from FF14! =D

I bought Dark Cloud 1 & 2 and the Demo Disc for DC2 sealed a few years back. I'm going to make a shadow box for the factory sealed ones since I already have opened copies that I still play on occasion.
That's so cool, I have the Japanese Taikenban demos of Dark Cloud 1 and Dark Dark Chronicle but ony Chronicles' is sealed! Those demo discs are getting harder to find!
@@DarkCloudCompendium Yeah they are. I have an extra copy of the DC2 Demo if you need it for your collection. If Sony and Level 5 don't get together on a DC3 it's going to be a missed opportunity on their part with the PS5 just around the corner. Especially since everyone is currently having a blast with world building in the new Animal Crossing game on Switch. It would bring more gamers over to PlayStation who have an interest in those game mechanics but are also looking for the Dark Cloud game features that would never exist in an Animal Crossing game.
@@thedemonnoof4383 That's a really kind offer but I'll have to decline because our mail services aren't running any more I totally agree 101% if you go back to the Level 5 interviews I did with our sources that worked on Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 it's crazy, they look back on the game as sort of a missed opportunity because it really could have been the Minecraft of that era had Sony not told them to reduce emphasis on the Georama system. They would knock it out of the park for sure if they did one today!

There's evidence to suggest that 'Rogue Galaxy' was actually 'Dark Cloud 3' in the beta stages.
Hey there SgCy, you are most definitely correct! There was an early Dark Cloud 3 concept piece that was placed in a Dark Chronicle Japanese artbook that corroborates this as this concept art features Rogue Galaxy's town Zerard in the background!
If your curious about this I interviewed some Level 5 staff and asked them questions regarding Dark Cloud's development and the connection between DC 3 and Rogue Galaxy
ua-cam.com/video/K7p41x_goJY/v-deo.html
That "unused map" is actually the second floor of baskers store! You can access it as soon as you put his second floor atla piece on :) nothing there tho
Hey there Doorman, I hope you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for the information I totally see that now!
We should've got Seida instead of Ungaga, I'm sorry, I don't like him. So much so, I avoid using him at all until I have to lol
Same, He's kinda useless. Even Osmond could kick rocks as well.
Right! It would have made do much sence from a gameplay standpoint! I really wish they would have used Seda in the end!
In my opinion
I hate ruby
The hoe has no value to the story 😒
And appearantly wasn't even suppose to be a character, she was supposed to a damn item
There were talks about Dark Cloud being having an online gaming feature? Gotta wonder how that would have worked, especially given the times.
Hey hey Weathers, I hope all is well!
The online features would have allowed you to share your village online as well as play in another friends world; all with real players which was groundbreaking for the time especially on console. The Dreamcast did online prior but this would have been the first major PlayStation online game, Twisted Metal Black later took that honor!
DC's online was scrapped fairly early in development as the title went thru many different dev changes as deadlines were tight, playable Seda was also cut (I have a 10 minute long video on this whole topic and how we recovered him) PS2 broadband titles did not come out until after DC was released.
I hope you enjoyed the video my friend and stay safe :)
Thanks for making this. Imagine just how much more epic this game would be!

Thanks for linking the extraction tools. I couldn't wait to try them after reading the article on TCRF. But what do you do with the files after they are extracted to get, for example, the character portraits? I managed to get a few neat images by cutting the files with a hex editor, but i'm sure that's not the right way to do it, as the images are sometimes scrambled. Any ideas?
Hey Michael, it's good to hear from you again I hope all is well! ✌🌟
From what I understand the images come out scrambled but you can use a tool called EZSwizzle to unscramble them!
I really wish I could help you more but i'm actually really bad at this sort of stuff! 😔 If I had the technical knowhow I would have picked these games clean by now haha 😂
Maybe someone on the Dark Cloud Reddit can help? 🤔
I'm going to be making a video which runs through the new Debug Disc that we just recently found sometime in the new year!
Happy Holidays my friend! 😀
@@DarkCloudCompendium The discovery of the debug executable really came out of blue. Who would have thought that a random demo disc, that didn't even feature Dark Cloud, would contain something like this. What an exciting time for Dark Cloud. Looking forward to enjoying your content in 2020.
@@michaelmoore3787 Right! This debug disc came out of no where but it's not the first debug mode we found!
Previously 2017 when I was playing Dark Cloud on PCSX2 I found that there was text referencing debug rooms when I asked Punk, who is an expert at PS2 code, to look at the data he discovered several codes such as a complete debug menu, dungeon debug mode, free camera, the ability to hack jumping back in (minus the animation) and access to a free camera! This allowed us to get a better understanding of Dark Cloud's development!
Flash forward to a couple days ago the amazing Punk7890 found a fully debug enabled executable of Dark Cloud on a demo disc called Jampack Winter 2002 under a dummy file. When I contacted him he was kind enough to share an ISO of the disc with me and allowed me to share it with others!
What's nice is that this new disc has features that are missing from the retail debug menu! The disc boots to a debug menu contains free cameras and more!
I hope you enjoyed the Compendium for 2019 Michael, I'm going to try to keep it going as long as possible! Much love🙏💜
When I heard you say that there's a way to listen to the game's music in the debug menu I flipped my shit, now I'm pissed that no one has gotten the idea to upload the game's soundtrack to UA-cam using that instead of relying on the extremely off-note OST version of the tracks.
Right! I actually have footage of Dark Cloud usuing an enhanced soundtrack these tracks were replaced with the low quality ones we have now where as the tracks were repurposed for the official soundtrack release. Not sure why they did it as it sounded awesome, i'll post that footage sometime

I'm making a second Beta and Cut Content video that is filled to the brim with new content, music, enemies and more!
@@DarkCloudCompendium let me know when its out
Around 3:52 that beta georama being found ont he disc has got me thinking. Have u and the others liek wise of words (words of wind? I apologies to all if i butchered his name) and dayuppy scoured regional discs.
What i mean is have u checked the game files on the jp version and also usa and pal???
If yes, then if so then what differences did u find (like was there some regional exclusive beta/lost/cut/unused stuff that wasnt in other regions ect. If yes is it worth making a video on or essentially would u mind telling me what they were. If u jave checked but there was no regional exclusives rhen ok
If no would u ever think about it.
(If any of that was hard to read id be happy to rephrase.)
That's an excellent question Liam one that we definitely considered when looking at the Beta and cut contents of dark cloud ☁️
We went through both the Japanese and European variance in addition the English version of Dark Cloud when looking at the Japanese version the main exclusive cut content piece that we found was actually the removed lizard from the fire dungeon the lizard enemy he wasn't available in the other versions of the game instead being replaced by opar perhaps opar and that lizard monster are both related as both the reptiles but Opar doesn't exist in the Japanese version and the lizard version doesn't exist in the European and American versions other than that the differences are fairly minimal the main difference though is that the Japanese dates has a different build version has a different build date than the American one
We also looked at the demo versions both the Japanese demo and the American demo so far what we notice is that the Japanese demo has the earliest build dates of any version of dark cloud available but other than that no differences aside from cut content and Beta material🌟
@@DarkCloudCompendium hi there. It's liam crutch here. I just wandered when does the dark cloud demo disc made. I assume sometime between the "beta" and the final release
?
Hey there, there are two demos the American demo and the JP demo:
The American Demo is the same build date as the NTCS build
The JP demo predates the final JP release's build date by a few months meaning that the JP Demo version of DC is the earliest build date version we have.
From looking at both the JP demo and Jp Final we couldn't find any new beta files in the demo version that were not already discovered in the vanilla JP release!
Hope this answers it :) @@Darkcloudbeta7_yt
