@@piper6597 He meant that the "snow" was actually the falling ash of the exploded machine. It would be just like a certain Doctor Who Christmas special, where what the characters thought was snow was really a destroyed spaceship's ashes, as the Doctor told them. If this is true in Unwound Future, then it only makes the scene even sadder...
When Claire "died" once, Layton accepted that she's gone to avoid more pain and move on. But now knowing the fact she is going to die a second time, he doesn't take it lightly and finally breaks. Witnessing your love dying twice is pure tragedy.
He didn't immediately accept her death and move on... he spent a long while afterwards tirelessly investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. He only stopped after his life was threatened in multiple ways. Then he eventually moved away from it, becoming a great professor and mentor, while still holding on to her gifted hat. It was the moment she had to leave his life for the second and final time when he realized that there was nothing left he could do but accept it and move on. This is what shattered him... and myself. I love this series, but it hurts so much.

I still stand by the fact that Unwound Future may have my favourite video game ending ever. Just...that final scene with Layton and Claire. The feels were so real.
+MaverickHunterZero75 Please! You should totally do a top 10 endings, just to get tis game out there! ... On second thought, you probably should try to get it out without spoiling the ending.
"We had so many plans for the future....don't you remember Hershel? I'll miss you....and our...unwound future." "Claire, wait!" "I don't want to say goodbye again! I can't! I won't!" Not many games make me cry. The Professor Layton games are a masterpiece. Such an underrated game.
When I first seen that ending, I was balling my eyes out. Even now, it makes me emotional. Really powerful song for the end of a great game. Poor Claire! 😭😭
"We had so many...plans for the future. You won't forget, will you? Our shared past...and our lost future." Argh. I've only ever cried twice at video games. This is one...
"Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?" "How tough am I? How tough am *I* ? I watched the entire ending scene with Layton and Clair from Professor Layton and the Unwound Future!" "Yeah, so?" *"And I only cried for three hours."* "Right this way, sorry to keep you waiting."
Layton 1: Ooh, these puzzles are cool! Layton 2: Wow, they really went wild on the plot on this one! Layton 3: This was supposed to be a light-hearted puzzle game... ... why the hell am I crying like this?
I let 6 people listen to this. 3 of them had never even heard of Professor Layton, the other 3 played a few games. the ones who did play the games, didn't play unwound future. I didn't tell any of the 6 people this music was from Professor Layton. The people who never heard of professor Layton said: nice, calm music for some relaxed moments.(not exactly). the ones who played some games, said: Oh it's so sad! with tears in their eyes. You can make up your own conclusion...
Celia It kind of brings out both. Of course it's sad with how Claire left Hershel but there's also the sense of it all finally being over and Hershel not having to worry about the incident or Claire because he has closure.
@@classydoctor5864 it also kinda has a sense of melancholy anxiety to it. The way the ending fades away with a beat akin to that of a parade to where most would be asking:is this really the end? I Thought it was building up to something. Something to show how luke is feeling at the end of the game, crying his eyes out and feeling depressed the whole time because of how he wants to stay with the professor
I find it hard to cry at games, but this really did. The atmosphere in the game was amazing, not to mention the whole plot was brilliant, especially with Claire.
Yeah, same. Also, notice how the reply on this comment was 3 years after the comment was posted, and now the second reply, mine, is 3 years after the first reply?
I see some people in this comment section from 4-5 years ago, and how they’re getting nostalgia from this, and then I remember how long ago this game was released. It makes me cry hearing this soundtrack and seeing how many people have moved on from this series.
I was just on a thread talking about video game music and someone brought up the Layton series. I played every game (and own the DVD movie too) and him mentioning the music made me come back and listen to the wonderful ost
Such an amazing game and very under-appreciated series. Thank you Level-5 for giving this gift of a series to us. It is something to be commended and revered for years to come. The fact that just this song makes me remember all the puzzles and little moments I had with the games is truly something that earns this song the title of Time Travel.
I haven't played this game in years and this song still manages to get to me. Guess that says a lot about the ending of this game :) I really hope we at least get one more trilogy for this series.
I just replayed the game after years, and I cried like a baby. I thought it wasn’t going to affect me as much, but it did. Probably a combination of the nostalgia and memories I have of the game, with the experience of loss that everyone goes through. Beautiful series.
I've never played the Professor Layton games, but I know all that happens in the unwound future. When this music played when Claire left, it was an incredible moemnt. I hadn't felt emotionally attached to a video game character since Ellie in The Last of Us. And again, I haven't played this game. That's how powerful this song and scene is.
Why does this theme have to be so amazing? I can't stop listening it and thinking about the amazing journey that was the first Professor Layton trilogy
This game came out so long ago, and I only recently learned that there are lyrics to this song (in the Japanese version) I had a go at translating, if anyone’s interested. The singer is Ann Sally 時を刻む 鐘が響いている Toki o kizamu kane ga hibiiteru The bells that carve out the course of time are ringing 過去と未来 行き交う街 Kako to mirai yukikau machi In a town where past and future cross paths こぼれては消える時の中 Koborete wa kieru toki no naka As time spills out and disappears around me, 繋いだ手 ぬくもり憶えている Tsunaida te nukumori oboeteiru I remember holding your hand; the warmth I felt 変わらぬものは何もない Kawaranu mono wa nani mo nai Nothing is unchanging 喜び悲しみ 移ろう時代(とき) Yorokobi kanashimi utsurō toki The decades reflect our joy and sorrow あふれてこぼれる涙の後には Afurete koboreru namida no ato ni wa After the tears have all welled up and fallen 柔らかな光り 照らすでしょう Yawaraka na hikari terasu deshō A gentle light will illuminate us 新しい季節の始まりに Atarashī kisetsu no hajimari ni As a new season begins いっぱいに風受け 帆を揚げる Ippai ni kaze uke hō o ageru These sails will be lifted by hearty winds あなたと飛び立つ 時間旅行 Anata to tobitatsu jikanryokō I will take flight with you, and we’ll travel through time 大きな船に乗って Ōki na fune ni notte Riding a great ship 生命の鼓動 こだまする Seimei no kodō kodama suru Life’s heartbeat resounds 光と影の 行き交う場所 Hikari to kage no yukikau basho Through a place where light and shadow cross paths 絶え間なく過ぎる時の中 Taema naku sugiru toki no naka As time passes me by without so much as a pause 確かなぬくもり 信じている Tashika na nukumori shinjiteiru I hold my belief in that unmistakable warmth 変わらぬものは何もない Kawaranu mono wa nani mo nai Nothing is unchanging 風は吹き四季は移ろう Kaze wa fuki kisetsu wa utsurō The four seasons reflect the blowing gales 悲しみの雲の切れ間から Kanashimi no kumo no kirema kara From the gaps in the clouds of sadness 鮮やかな世界 広がるでしょう Azayaka na sekai hirogaru deshō A brilliant world will unfold 新しい季節の始まりに Atarashī kisetsu no hajimari ni As a new season begins いっぱいに風受け 帆を揚げる Ippai ni kaze uke hō o ageru These sails will be lifted by hearty winds あなたと飛び立つ 時間旅行 Anata to tobitatsu jikanryokō I will take flight with you, and we’ll travel through time 大きな船に乗って Ōki na fune ni notte Riding a great ship 果て無き旅へ Hatenaki tabi e On an endless journey
Just ended things with my boyfriend of 6 years. When I played this game when I was younger (I was like 10 LMAO), I couldn't fully grasp the concept of how painful it is to see your lover leave twice. I knew it was painful but I also just couldn't cry. I believe that when I replay this game again, I'll definitely cry. Thanks for the wonderful 6 years, J. I'll miss you and our unwound future. Should the time and universe permit it, I will definitely give us another chance.
"You can't go!" "I don't want to say goodbye again! I can't! I won't !" ". . . I know you.. and I know you'll stay strong." "After all, that is what a gentleman does.."
I'll admit. This game was my very first Layton game because it was recommended to me. I wasn't even super attached to the characters or knew them super well at the time and this ending STILL hurt and made me cry. Couldn't listen or think about this song without wanting to burst into tears. What the hell!!! They didn't have to destroy me like that. Anyway, the Layton games are masterpieces just like everyone here has said before. Best puzzle games I've ever played.
I listened to this as I was leaving behind my truly close and best friends at university. Never fails to bring me back to that moment of sad departure. To me, it’s the closest pain I could feel to Layton saying goodbye to Claire again. At the very least though, I can still meet with my friends at some point in the future
I've always come back to Layton music because it takes me back. But recently I've been listening to this, Iris, and Surely Someday because of an unfortunate heartbreak, and it's helped me even now, if only I could tell 6 year old me how influencial this series would've been on his life.
This ending and the one from diabolical box just destroyed me emotionally. Only listening to time travel (and Iris) alone is enough to instantly make me cry again.
This was the first game and I think still the only game that has managed to make me cry. The ending of this game made me feel so many emotions and I will never forget it for that.
Whenever I think "poor Clyde," I then think, "Poor everyone whose home was destroyed by his killer robot." Heck, with a robot of that size in the middle of London, I wouldn't be surprised if some people actually were killed by that thing. Poor Clyde, but the game kind of glossed over all the damage he did.
The UK version is even more heart-wrenching. as she's fading away "we had so many plans........ you won't forget, will you?..... Our shared past..... and our...... lost future....."
No game breaks my heart like this does, such an amazing Ending, and it really does not receive the credit it so obviously deserves as an amazing installment to an already amazing franchise... Forever in our hearts, the Professor Layton games!
I have this game on the Nintendo DS like the cartridge and i finished the game 3 times but since i unlocked the bonuses section i keep going back to the ending cutscene just to remember how good the story writing was.... I had to play this game multiple times to realise that this game is not about getting every puzzle right n that its about the emotion that the story writters put into this masterpiece.. Layton didnt deserve this 😢
What's sad about this ending is everyone loses. Layton, Claire, Luke, Dimitri, Clive and those who got affected by Clive's shenanigans. Only Bill Hawks, who started this mess is the only one not getting a genuine karma. Only thing he got is a subtle commentary from Inspector Chelmey.
Single-handedly the best ending in the entire series. Absolutely nothing compares. This ending was incredibly emotional, and an amazing way to end the first trilogy. I am a little disappointed that no other games met this one's emotional standards, but this ending was heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, and I can definitively say that over 90% of the people who played this game cried at this ending. I wasn't one of them, but my sister was. But I digress. This ending was the best in the series. There is no game in the series with a better ending than this one.
Claire: I suppose this is it, Hershel. I have to go back to my own time. Back to that day when we parted… Layton: No, Claire… Claire: I'm sorry I can't stay. (embraces and kisses Layton, then turns away) Layton: Claire, wait! Claire: (starts glowing) We had so many…plans for the future. Do you remember, Hershel? I'll miss you…and our…unwound future. Layton: …You CAN'T go! Claire: (gasps) Layton: I don't want to say goodbye again! I CAN'T, I WON'T!!! Claire: I know you…and I know you'll stay strong. After all…that's what a gentleman does. I must go now, Hershel. Thank you for everything. Goodbye. (turns away and walks behind a building as this song starts up) Luke: (notices and runs toward Claire, but finds nothing there) …She's gone! Layton: (turns away, weeps, and removes his hat as screen pans out and snow falls. Roll credits)
@VGmaster153 It really is an amazing series. The first one had me emotional simply because the way the game played and the way you were introduced and got to know these characters was wonderful. I had never seen that before in a game and didn't want it to end. The second game was more just developing the characters, and had a sad cute story along with it that didn't really involve the main characters. The third one, man, what an excellent way to end. Layton and Luke, easily some of the best.
The story in pure tragedy... listening to this theme HURTS.. knowing the backstory of everything throughout the series, especially this one. It HURTS REAL BAD.
I finished this game 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love this song, the ending was so sad.. Then they had to top it off with Luke leaving Layton and getting on the ship.. (THE FEELSSss ;_; )
I love the photos in the credits. How it over looks their adventures together. Like the part were luke is packing his stuff and theres a layton mask a chelmey mask a flora mask etc. He likes to collect faces doesnt he?
Thanks for uploading mate! I was looking for this one. Really emotional. I still cry when I see the ending, and feel kinda heartbroken if you know what I mean; just so sad :( Damn, they really know how to write an awesome story!
Every single Professor Layton game has made me cry. They each have their own single, beautiful, tear-jerking story. I can't fucking wait for Mask of Miracle. This is my favorite series, and after all the shit I went through to buy and beat the games, you can bet I'd go through it all again just for this series.
I didn't have played Professor Layton's games but I feel a strong sadness in my heart each time I listen this song. It's very difficult to explain, at least for me...
Every single time I come back here and play this song, the feeling of a blue Christmas night suddenly appears in my mind. Just like that night - the night Mr.Layton took his hat off!!! Love Layton saga!
In my headcanon, Claire stays stuck 10 years in the future, with the guilt, thst out of sll the victims, she survived as the only one. Even though she lives hsppy with Layton snd grows old, she will have this guilt forever.
I'll have you know, I only cried for 20 minutes at the end of this game :P But in all seriousness, I love the soundtrack to Unwound Future. Stunningly beautiful.
Argh. I finished the game almost two months ago, and it was getting late, and I really wanted to finish it. I got to when Claire had to go. And when Professor Layton cried, I was bawling. And from then on, I knew it would be my new favorite game series. I freaking love the Professor. I wish Claire didn't die.
When layton started I crying, I couldnt take it anymore.

i never usually cry at anything such as games or movies, but this games ending was so beautiful it made me shed a tear
I played a lot of video games in my childhood, but this ending was the first one to make me cry!! Love this series
Such an emotional piece. When Layton cries, I cry.
I just made a playlist with all of my favourite professor Layton music and this version of Time Travel was the final addition to a perfect playlist
This ending and the one from diabolical box just destroyed me emotionally. Only listening to time travel (and Iris) alone is enough to instantly make me cry again.
lay down, try not to cry, cry a lot
What an absolutely beautiful piece of music...
This was the first game and I think still the only game that has managed to make me cry. The ending of this game made me feel so many emotions and I will never forget it for that.
Whenever I think "poor Clyde," I then think, "Poor everyone whose home was destroyed by his killer robot." Heck, with a robot of that size in the middle of London, I wouldn't be surprised if some people actually were killed by that thing. Poor Clyde, but the game kind of glossed over all the damage he did.
"...and our Unwound Future". I couldn't even sin it as roll credits cause.. *Sobs
The UK version is even more heart-wrenching. as she's fading away "we had so many plans........ you won't forget, will you?..... Our shared past..... and our...... lost future....."
I'm not crying there's just a million and one branches in ym eyes
"Un caballero nunca se quita el sombrero hasta que lo pierde todo"
my favorite layton game ever. still makes me cry, dont know why?
No game breaks my heart like this does, such an amazing Ending, and it really does not receive the credit it so obviously deserves as an amazing installment to an already amazing franchise...
Forever in our hearts, the Professor Layton games!
The amount of feels and nostalgia coming from this song... Man. I love this game and series so much.
so many feels , that reminds of a puzzle
Ive played this Game a thousand Times and I still cry at the End
I want to move to England because of how beautiful that scene was. I love that song!
I have this game on the Nintendo DS like the cartridge and i finished the game 3 times but since i unlocked the bonuses section i keep going back to the ending cutscene just to remember how good the story writing was....
I had to play this game multiple times to realise that this game is not about getting every puzzle right n that its about the emotion that the story writters put into this masterpiece..
Layton didnt deserve this 😢
Many ppl said this before but, if layton cries, u cry that's the rule
Don't cry don't cry don't cry
What's sad about this ending is everyone loses. Layton, Claire, Luke, Dimitri, Clive and those who got affected by Clive's shenanigans. Only Bill Hawks, who started this mess is the only one not getting a genuine karma. Only thing he got is a subtle commentary from Inspector Chelmey.
Thank you for sharing...really had a hard time getting a copy of my own until I stumbled upon you.
Single-handedly the best ending in the entire series. Absolutely nothing compares. This ending was incredibly emotional, and an amazing way to end the first trilogy. I am a little disappointed that no other games met this one's emotional standards, but this ending was heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, and I can definitively say that over 90% of the people who played this game cried at this ending. I wasn't one of them, but my sister was. But I digress. This ending was the best in the series. There is no game in the series with a better ending than this one.
Claire: I suppose this is it, Hershel. I have to go back to my own time. Back to that day when we parted…
Layton: No, Claire…
Claire: I'm sorry I can't stay. (embraces and kisses Layton, then turns away)
Layton: Claire, wait!
Claire: (starts glowing) We had so many…plans for the future. Do you remember, Hershel? I'll miss you…and our…unwound future.
Layton: …You CAN'T go!
Claire: (gasps)
Layton: I don't want to say goodbye again! I CAN'T, I WON'T!!!
Claire: I know you…and I know you'll stay strong. After all…that's what a gentleman does. I must go now, Hershel. Thank you for everything. Goodbye. (turns away and walks behind a building as this song starts up)
Luke: (notices and runs toward Claire, but finds nothing there) …She's gone!
Layton: (turns away, weeps, and removes his hat as screen pans out and snow falls. Roll credits)
Hold on, I just realised. In that scene, it's implied that it's Christmas, right?
Clive planned his mobile fortress attack to ruin Christmas Eve.
Saddest Christmas ever for Layton
christmas can be really bad....i mean...clive did destroy a little part of london but that isn't mentioned
Will Nothing is wrong with Christmas
i meaned it can be...for layton and for those who lost their homes..
Will Ok. But just because it is snowing doesn't mean that it is Christmas. It could just be the first winter snow
This song brought a tears to my eyes. I've never played this series before but now I'm considering trying them out soon.
@VGmaster153 It really is an amazing series. The first one had me emotional simply because the way the game played and the way you were introduced and got to know these characters was wonderful. I had never seen that before in a game and didn't want it to end.
The second game was more just developing the characters, and had a sad cute story along with it that didn't really involve the main characters.
The third one, man, what an excellent way to end. Layton and Luke, easily some of the best.
The story in pure tragedy... listening to this theme HURTS.. knowing the backstory of everything throughout the series, especially this one.
It HURTS REAL BAD.
6 year old me was bawling at the end of that game.
I finished this game 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love this song, the ending was so sad..
Then they had to top it off with Luke leaving Layton and getting on the ship.. (THE FEELSSss ;_; )
The ending reminds me of pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky ending
Wait what you're here?!
This song and Iris from pandoras box can make me cry anytime ;-;
Surely someday for me too
from the azran legacy
Ace, me too TT_TT
Same...
I love the photos in the credits. How it over looks their adventures together. Like the part were luke is packing his stuff and theres a layton mask a chelmey mask a flora mask etc. He likes to collect faces doesnt he?
Our lost future...
As a kid I cried but I admit that I would cry now too, that I'm 17 no shame for this
Thanks for uploading mate! I was looking for this one. Really emotional. I still cry when I see the ending, and feel kinda heartbroken if you know what I mean; just so sad :(
Damn, they really know how to write an awesome story!
Am I crazy or does some of the main melody (the one that starts at 0:27) use the same notes as “Iris” from DB, but spaced out differently?
Every single Professor Layton game has made me cry.
They each have their own single, beautiful, tear-jerking story.
I can't fucking wait for Mask of Miracle. This is my favorite series, and after all the shit I went through to buy and beat the games, you can bet I'd go through it all again just for this series.
Haven't played this game for a few years now but bloody hell I'm crying!
"Luke, a gentleman, only takes off his hat when he has lost everything."
The tune of this song fits with sad scenes and credits in any movie.
6 years ago... Where does time go?
(No pun intended)
13 years ago... Where does time go?
I realized this kinda music is my best :) I realllly love it!
This is still my favourite ds game and I cried like a baby at the end, and sometimes I still do
Best game ever... and the ending was really sad...
And now I have to wait ages for the next one?!?!? I can't! I WON'T!
Good news, we’re almost there
I didn't have played Professor Layton's games but I feel a strong sadness in my heart each time I listen this song. It's very difficult to explain, at least for me...
I'm legit having goosebumps remembering the ending...
Every single time I come back here and play this song, the feeling of a blue Christmas night suddenly appears in my mind. Just like that night - the night Mr.Layton took his hat off!!! Love Layton saga!
+Kiệt Lâm The image of a rainy night in 1930s New York appears to me
aw man everytime i hear this, my heart 💔
saddest professor layton ending ever
I cried the first time I saw this scene. I cried even harder when I saw Layton crying.
I cried at the end of this game.
In my headcanon, Claire stays stuck 10 years in the future, with the guilt, thst out of sll the victims, she survived as the only one. Even though she lives hsppy with Layton snd grows old, she will have this guilt forever.
I didn't cry.
I F00cking died inside, and then I cried.
9 years later and I still can’t talk about the ending....
I'll have you know, I only cried for 20 minutes at the end of this game :P
But in all seriousness, I love the soundtrack to Unwound Future. Stunningly beautiful.
I love all Layton music, but when I heard this right after the ending, man I nearly cried.
Argh. I finished the game almost two months ago, and it was getting late, and I really wanted to finish it. I got to when Claire had to go. And when Professor Layton cried, I was bawling.
And from then on, I knew it would be my new favorite game series.
I freaking love the Professor. I wish Claire didn't die.
...nope. Still can't listen to this without shedding a tear at least once ; - ;
