Blueberrymagick! Great to see you again in the comments section! 🤠 I hope you enjoyed this interesting look at Dark Chronicle’s untranslated media, the series still has so much potential that Level 5 can capture in a newer game! What features would you want to see from a DC Reboot or DC 3? 👀🌟
@@DarkCloudCompendium I mean I’m perfectly happy with how the mechanics work in both games, but I wouldn’t mind something new to the series like picking your gender, customizing your character (like hair and skin), and maybe even a friendship/party member based mechanics, like, the more you use them in battle, the more abilities they unlock, and even products they can sell to you! Like the recruitment mechanic in DC2! Idk, I’m just spitballin here ;P
@@DarkCloudCompendium I love this series so much I love both games dark cloud and dark cloud 2 but I enjoy dark cloud 2 more than the first game but I still love both of them there's even a few things I didn't know I could do in the first game like you can keep your attachments on without having to permanently put them into your weapons after a buildup
@@noahdean9685 I still miss the Drans Feather 🥲 Dark Cloud 2 is such a gem that just wouldn't exist today, Dark Cloud 2 is fantastic I feel like it throws everything and the kitchen sink to see what would stick from the invention system, spheeda, finny frenzy monster medals and so much more! These days games are unfinished experiences where they try to nickle and dime the customer with DC 2 you felt like you were going on a grand adventure of a lifetime. I'll always love the Dark Cloud series, the first one is always my go to but that's like comparing The Beatles Abbey Road to Let It Be, both are amazing records no matter how you slice it 💯✌🏼🥳
It feels like a lost chapter we never really saw, or a filler ark. I just enjoyed seeing them be silly in their environments for a change. Which stories were your favorite?
YukeWeiss! It's amazing to hear from you again hope you have been doing well! There are so many charming stories here its hard just to pick one, I really had a laugh at the World of the Future 😂
I'm quite surprised that there's not a Dark Cloud prequel manga based on the pieces of Seda's memory from the first game. Nice job on the video, by the way. 😊
Hey there SierraGustafson, great to hear from you! Thanks for the kind words it was a lot of fun being able to get back to creating these videos and voicing them once again! 😎 Having some prequel manga based off of Dark Cloud would be a great idea, or ever silly manga like this too at this point I'd take anything related to Dark Cloud 😄 What was your favorite manga story here 👀🌟
Hey there RR, great to see you in the comments section again! It's always a pleasure, these videos are made by a fan for the fans so I love seeing them too! 😊 If you enjoyed this Dark Cloud 2 video I know you'll love the Dark Cloud 2 Iceberg which is full of lore, Trivia and beta context too🎉 ua-cam.com/video/pAgpnQzaw2I/v-deo.htmlsi=h79qddkv_P67-wx5
Hey hey Aaron Anderson, welcome back to the channel great to hear from you again! 😊 I'm glad your enjoying these videos, this one in particular took much longer than expected due to the sheer volume of text to translate and the hands on creation of the new English version which was all done by yours truly but it's worth it in the end as we can enjoy this lost peice of Dark Cloud 2 history together! 🌟✌🏼 Rogue Galaxy is a gem, always glad to shine the spotlight on that estranged member of the Dark Cloud family! I hope you enjoy the uploads to come for the summer time, I'm also working on a new Dark Cloud Iceberg for the upcoming December as well 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this and for your work on adding the text HiddenCastle! I love the art of this manga and the dialogue is great. Choosing a favourite is hard but I would maybe say The Sea, it's a funny one for sure haha.
Thank you very much for all the support Hoppo and I'm glad you enjoyed the Manga I took a lot of work to put together but it was well worth it to capture this forgotten piece of Dark Cloud Japanese media! I'm in the same boat as you it's really hard to pick one favorite but I really enjoy the Manga where max committed tax evasion I think that's hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha right!!!🤣🤣 I think it paints the whole dynamic between our playable heroes and the monsters we fight on this adventure and completely different Lights it's really hard to take just one favorite but that 1 is really special too🌟💯
Always great to see you in the comments section Azzavhar! It feels nice being back making videos, hope to do more voice over when my lungs recover! Which story from the Manga did you enjoy the most? I got a kick seeing Max comit tax evasion 😂
@@DarkCloudCompendium I was actually thinking the same one! lol 😂 "Max was imprisoned for 30 years!" 😂 "guilty of great sums of tax evasion charges". Hilarious! I hope you feel better soon. & thank you for making this video. Great work. 😇
I think we all know exactly how it is, there's something special with both of these games that was just never replicated since. I often go back to Dark Cloud whenever things get hectic both games have this really cozy vibe!✌🏼🌟 Sidenote your pecs looks sick, I need to focus on upper body more I've been prioritizing cardio the past few months for increased stamina 🚴♂️
@DarkCloudCompendium Yes, I still have hope that they will revisit these game again. And thank you!! I do a lot of push-ups. I focus a lot on them. They really were the foundation to grow my pecs ,no doubt 😁
@@DarkCloudCompendium when I was very young I played DC1 and never got passed the first boss, fast forward to today and I beat the whole game and am currently playing DC2. Best feeling ever! And to be able to have a channel like this around while I’m having this experience as an adult is just so fun and awesome. Really helping me through some tough times.
8:03: a bit ironic there, eh, Monica?? Reading stories on a Princess when you yourself are one, but yet you didn't like being one, just how interesting of you! Seriously that is kinda of ironic, like legit. 8:08: heh, Sailor themed uniform.... Anime exists in Blue Terra and Max watches it, so he's nerd, just like the rest of us!! That.... That last one, lols.
I wonder, has anyone tried to decompile or reverse engineer DC1/DC2? If this could be done, we could start modding in ways that would make Sony shoot us.
Honestly that would be the dream, q PC version of DC made for the ground up for Mods and additional content! Which manga was your favorite in this video, I liked Max committing Tax Evasion haha!
@@DarkCloudCompendium Oh- also, there are people who do full decompiles / reverse engineers of games. Maybe you could get in touch and convince them to do Dark Cloud 1/2?
Is it possible to download this? I think it would be really nice to read on the app paperback! :) Thanks as always for providing high quality Dark Cloud content 🩷
Hey Menace Maddie (Love the name!) Great to hear from you again! Sorry for taking sometime to respond to this comment, I had some trouble with my health but I'm still alive 😤🙌🏼 Unfortunately, when I initially created this translation back in 2022 it was on my old hard drive which was a HDD, due to all the strain I put in it through the video creation for this channel it blew a motor and corrupted taking the PNG PSD files for this Manga along with it. That situation was really scary and was almost the death of this channel... The only thing I have of this manga translation project is the finished video itself, terribly sorry. I'm old school but since then I've learned the wonders of Google Online storage to prevent an issue like this occurring again 🙏🏼

This manga is so funny and also endearing. Appreciate the effort to translate these adventures of Max and Monica!
It feels like a lost chapter we never really saw, or a filler ark. I just enjoyed seeing them be silly in their environments for a change.
Which stories were your favorite?
I forgot about Max being a future criminal for tax evasion. 😂😂😂
Awesome revamp of the video. Really love it. ❤
He took that crime like a champ, the warning signs were there when Donny gave him the weapon he's a maniac!
Good trip down memory lane since it's been a while since I played Dark Chronicle. Just the 2 of us was pretty funny.

Oh wow. I didn't know there was a manga!
It was super obscure, really wish Level 5 would have localized a lot of this material themselves would have made my job easier haha!
I'm so happy with this channel continuing the DC2 lore/universe :`)

Nice work on the text, that sounds super meticulous! Good to see these again, they really put a lot of great stuff in those art books.
All those panels and speech bubbles really piled up haha but it was forever worth it!
Which story did you like best Shaztopia 😊✌🏼
@@DarkCloudCompendium Probably where Max goes shooting up those poor innocent monsters. They weren't hurting anyone!
Hahaha right!!!🤣🤣
I think it paints the whole dynamic between our playable heroes and the monsters we fight on this adventure and completely different Lights it's really hard to take just one favorite but that 1 is really special too🌟💯
this is great even as a english speaker (or native dutch) i wish i had this manga in my collection
