@@RenlinkMorales The TRUE Dark Genie was gone, but not this one. In a sense, there's always been more than one, Max and Monica just had to take down the one that was still floating around.
@@RenlinkMorales This genie was the one that used to be a rat or mouse that got into the jar holding the dark genie. THe true one did get destroyed in the first game.
This game reminds me of a time in my life/childhood where life was literally perfect. Summer vacation, playing this in my room all day, going swimming in the afternoon with the neighbors. Man, I miss it bros
What irks me is that once you beat the final boss of the story mode, and they have to close the future gates to prevent disturbances in the timeline.........only for Monica to come back anyway because she missed Max and the adventures they were having........it especially sucks if you didn't do EVERYTHING that could be done while in the future areas. Like for instance, getting the future pictures to make the battle mech more efficient that what you could do in the present.
When that ending credit hit after I beat DG the first time.. man the tears I shed knowing that the journey of Dark Cloud was complete, final and finished. What a ride it was, and the soundtrack just hit all the right spots.
I love how they're like: "who was that?" "Man, I don't know.....anyways, lezgo." Toan and friends are in the background like: "was our entire struggle a joke to you?"
Dark Cloud 2 was my very first RPG and it stands out as the one of a kind RPG legend. No game is even close 2 resemble this game in any way whatsoever. It'll always have a spot in my heart.
I've just finished it recently on ps4, I've continued this game legacy since i was a little girl i couldn't finished it, but know I'm glad i did, worth every minute
I always wanted Max and Monica to have a child just like Max’s mom and dad. Two different time periods coming together to continue the DC universe! Half life 3 and DC3 would make my gaming life complete lol
I finally did it to beat the boss after over 15 years. I played this game with my dad when I was around 7 years old. And to this very day this game is one of my favourites of all time and probably the game I have the most hours of playing (I would say I played this game like 15 times, around 80-150 hours so yeah; a lot of time) 😊
the credits/ prologue song and stand by me from FFXV have a wonderful adventurous feel to it. it makes you want to see just where the story will take you in the long run.
God i love this game so much.. also anyone else couldnt save the game after this right? it technically wont let you complete that last photo in the album invention .
Yeah you can’t continue after this so if there is a pic for a design I’d assume you’d have to make it in there after the pic and have it as your last invention. Idk for sure, I didn’t make everything lol
Let me you tell you guys, I can't even express the amount of trouble I had with Dark Genie. He is without a doubt the hardest boss in the game. He must have beaten me over 10 times. I was at a decent level but this fight just seems unfair, not to my mention my PS4 turning it self off while I had the game paused, PAUSED! But I finally beat him and it was a great feeling. Dark Chronicle is a great game and is one of my favourite RPG's and games of all time.
Adam Clark I feel ya, he was tricky. I actually fought him a few times off cam to test him out, so I wouldn't embarrass myself lol. Lets hope with the release of DC 1 and 2 for ps4 there will be a DC3 in the near future!
Not sure if you figured this out by now but the ps4 has an auto-shutdown timer by default. So make sure to turn that off if you don’t want your ps4 turning off while paused for a few hours
Flavio Thepianist the 1st dark cloud is amazing but it has way more characters that you need to train so it can be a bit overwhelming. It’s definitely worth playing.
I think it's just a throwback to Dark Cloud's very beginning, where the book of the tale of Toan and Friends was discovered very far into the future and they wonder if it really happened, or just a fairy tale. It's a perfect way to wrap everything up... but to join the chorus: we all still want Dark Cloud 3!
@@phillipd33znuts don’t bet on it. There was a petition to get a 3rd game like 10 years ago. But it didn’t get anywhere. There’s just not enough people interested
Dude you're not the real dark genie. Dark Genie: How dare you! I am! No you're just a mouse that got some of his power, the real Dark Genie possessed Flagg and then possessed Dark Seda.
Actually there’s a theory that this genie is what’s left of the Dark Genie. So either way it’s the Dark Genie, whether it’s the Fake or just having a similar appearance
@@kidprime6863 possibly, but remember that in DC2 Max an Monica were correcting the timeline, as stuff in Monica’s time wasn’t even present originally until they fixed it in the past. I think the Dark Genie is just one of those beings that can transcend space and time.
When I got to this point in the game, I just broke down the best melee weapons I had for Max & Monica and just poured them into Max's gun and just killed him in the air.
Im back into this game I've been playing this game since I was 5 it's been 14 years when can we get another dark cloud please I loved dark cloud I came up with my very own Japanese names that don't exist BonMaru I think was catchy and for years I ran with it
Mark Simmons Dark Cloud definitely needs a 3rd installment. It was such a treasure on the ps2 and underrated I feel a lot of ppl didn’t get to try it out.
@@phillipd33znuts both of these games deserve a full-on remake from the ground up. They were and are amazing games. Shame there was never a Dark Cloud 3.
IcedEarthaholic I agree. They were definitely underrated. But now with all the tech advances this game could get the visuals and media attention it deserves. Sad thing is kids anymore are to in to battle royal games to even enjoy this classic
@@phillipd33znuts indeed, it's a shame that games like Fartnite and Bendoverwatch are dominating the airwaves of gaming today. The Dark Cloud games were awesome, the first one was plagued with glitches but it was so frigging good that it was worth exploiting the glitches to get the Flapping Duster. The second improved upon what made the first great, just sucked there were no back rooms. I feel if they were to be remade? Restore the Flapping Duster in the original, revamp the graphics and give more backstory to the Demon Shaft, also give the game a second ending after you beat Black Knight Pendragon. With the second? Give us another bonus dungeon with 100 floors, give us back rooms for each maze, and a third ending that ties up all loose ends, has Max and Monica have a child, and sets up the events for a Dark Cloud 3.
Decimate the Soul yes, hes not very hard. Just use a few stamina drinks to make up for lack of damage if need. Also Idk if you know this but you can use the name change ticket and name a weapon whatever its last stage is and itll transform to that weapon
If you have a ton of exp for Steve, you can buy his swords attachment from Cedric and they synthesize for 2 attack each. Or if you’re suffering from an overflowing wallet, then you can buy gemstones to increase the supernova’s power. I think it caps at 500.
Was there a point in taking those pictures?. I barely remember the game but I know after I beat this boss I put it down for good. Shame really because what I do remember is that I loved this game.
Brian B Not really lol. After you beat him it ends the game so you cant invent with it or anything. There is a trophy to max the photography rank to 8 and you need 700 points for that so if you missed some pics and was 5-10 points off then that would get you the trophy. Other than that its pointless 😂
It's ashamed that the starbreaker(in my opinion the best gun in the first dark cloud) got such a huge nerf in dark cloud 2, not even close to a final weapon
Just play past the regular ending credits, I don’t remember if you have to do anything extra on top of that but both dark cloud games have an extra dungeon post credits and 2 has another ending.
RYIUN no he couldn’t have had her at any point since Toan travels to his original time, defeats the dark genie when it’s born. Sedas wife is saved. A few years later they have Monica
Its not a prequel because if i remember correctly in Dark Cloud theres always 2 moons in the sky so if Dark Cloud 2 was a prequel then there would be 1 moon in the sky.
Well because this is post credits after the regular ending so yeah you can consider it secret. And it has more of an optional feel to it, aside from the fact you don’t have to do anything extra to unlock it.
I just love that they brought back the Dark Cloud music for this fight

@@Liliquan feel better now that you made your stupid, pointless comment?
Good old days bro. Hope you're doing OK now.

I loved this game for the simple fact that, you could go into the future to see how the pasts actions changed that future.
Tell me about that I wish this could happen in real life but I hope it will come back someday on the switch.

To be fair 'Fat Genie' was just a rat transformed by the real Dark Genie.
But they did use the Sun Giant to defeat it though.

Definitely one of the best games ever. A hidden gem not many people know about. 🙃
I learned English because of this game 😭 a big part of my childhood ❤
I'm not going to watch this until I beat the game. Used to play it as a kid, but never got a chance to get to the end.
Eavesdropz did you ever get around to beating it?! You are robbing yourself of a grand adventure by not! lol
Both games are good completed both games years old
I cant help but shed a tear when it comes to the story of dc2
Robert Manzella it is definitely one of a kind. Nothing else can compare
Kinda funny how this genie was just a mouse that somehow got into the real genie's sealed pot.
This is my favourite game, so glad I got to play it growing up.
Here I am waiting for a descendant of Toan to run in and be like. "I got this, it's my turn now to keep the family legacy."
I always wanted Max and Monica to have a child just like Max’s mom and dad. Two different time periods coming together to continue the DC universe! Half life 3 and DC3 would make my gaming life complete lol
love how you say dc universe...… but wheres the justice league~? XD *buh dum tss!/comedy rimshot*
Equals Xenoblade Chronicles Franchise.

Thank you for this. Now I need to play this game through again on the ps4. This brings back so many memories of watching my mom play it
I try and play this series at least once a year. Such a good game and takes me back to a simpler time 😂

one of the Best games ever made.
So sad I finished the game Deffinitely brings back the vibe of simple times as a kid
I loved this game as a kid when I rented it
Dark cloud 2 is a prequel it makes sense
Hardly... The fake dark genie was just remnant of a discarded timeline.

Best game ever made...
fecac agree. Would love to see a DC3 in the future
Was wondering if its worth getting on the ps4 if you already have it on the ps2.
TRUENOIR6 I mean it graphically it's better and you can unlock trophies if that's your thing. I think it's worth
Anime
I got one thing to say to you mate. You need to wait for the dark genie to change to change his color. that's the only way to damage him
Elite Amazon soldier 2 lol it was my first time ever fighting him, I didn't know the strategy. Thanks though i didnt know 🙂
still don't know what is the sense to make photos to the final stages if the game, after the boss, ends and you can't play after it
Probably just to transfer the photos quick via album. Now too with achievements on ps4, there’s that too :D
I just got the Supernova but still working on getting Monica's 5 Star Armband, can I take on this boss yet???, I only have 2 floors left
Decimate the Soul yes, hes not very hard. Just use a few stamina drinks to make up for lack of damage if need. Also Idk if you know this but you can use the name change ticket and name a weapon whatever its last stage is and itll transform to that weapon

By "PS4" you mean they did release this game on PS4? awesome never had PS3 and PS4.
Yeah it was released for the ps4. Im not sure if it was on the ps3 as well or not.
If you think about it, this means that Max and Monica’s combined strength equals that or greater than the Sun Giant in the first game.
I have a wild theory that Dark Cloud 2 is a prequel to Dark Cloud 1
That would be impossible, since this version of the dark genie was born at the beginning of the 1st dark cloud..
