I plan to finish work on the platinum for this game, I'm using the broken dagger attachment to get the ultimate weapons early so I don't have to slog through areas.. (You can't use ultimate weapons on the killer snake, though, you need a scripted weapon the Treant gives you. Learned that the instant I hit the first button and that ultimate sword snapped in two. XD)
This was such an iconic game especially for being on that PS2 demo disc! Took me until the PS4 release to finally play the full game haha it's such a great game.
Dark cloud was my fist ps2 game ever played. And OMG hand down the second best ps2 game, the first of course being dark cloud 2, love them both so much. Keep up the amazing reviews 👍🏻
Imagine a dark cloud with a souls like combat system with a rng dungeons and a city building with better than fallout for settlement creation.... What a would we would live in
This is the first game I bought for my PS2 back in 2001. Got most of the way through it, but couldn’t finish the Gallery of Time because my weapons were not upgraded enough to deal with the enemies.
Also, this is one of those things that makes me wonder if my phone is spying on me because my friend was talking about how she was replaying this within the last few weeks
Love Dark Cloud 1&2. Also love Rogue Galaxy which was supposed to be Dark Cloud 3. If you did not play Rogue Galaxy you should definitely play it. It’s an underrated PS2 gem.
They made two of them but the first will always hit no matter when i play. the music, locals, and good set of character variety. the grind wasnt all bad cause the gameplay was addictive as hell and the story was good. only thing wrong is that it didnt have voice acting or a music toggle for volume. imagine a remake not exactly a nex gen experience but more specifically like ps3/ps4 type remakes that would expand on the world and clean up the visuals think ratchet and clank
I never played this one. A buddy of mine told me about it years ago, but I was in the middle of Final Fantasy X at the time and forgot about it by the time I finished. 😅
This game is realy unique, though it shows its age. If you compare this to more recent Level-5 games like Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom and Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, it makes you wish they rebooted the Dark Cloud series on modern hardware.
Serious Nostalgia! Its a shame Sony didn't keep up with making these. Based on the strength of the first one it could easily have been one of Sony's mainstay franchises!
Any idea if there is a way to emulate it onto PS Vita? I've gotten to the final boss but haven't ever been able to beat him. Wanting to give it another go but was hoping to play mobile with it.
I wished my PS2 close tray didn't go close automatically at random. I stopped using that PS2 since my Dark Cloud's disc is almost broken. It is fine condition, but that made me not touch my PS2 anymore. Since then, I missed playing Dark Cloud. I also have the sequel as well.
@GenesisVII Yea, I might have to get it digitally on my PS4 Slim. I would gladly play them again. Xiao was my favorite character growing up. She also helps early playthrough as her slingshots only take 1 WHP (sometimes 2) each time you use it.
@@GenesisVII to be honest, you're the only person I trust when it comes to trophy information. You're the reason I've refused to buy FF7 Rebirth because of the outrageous platinum that you expertly highlighted.

I still replay it every couple of years. It's just so delightful.
Dark Cloud was a super fun and addictive game and now I’ll play it again!!!!
Yesssssss!!
Dark Cloud was one of my favorite PS2 games. I recently started playing it again on ps4 with my ps membership. This game is so nostalgic and fun time.

This game is literally part of my earliest childhood memories
Thanks for sharing this game, it looks awesome. I'm sad it passed me by at the time.
I’m playing this game right now! I’m almost done. Just finished building the Sun Giant. It’s a really fun game and indicative of 2000s games.
I really want a 3rd game the more I think about. It's always a good time!
So underrated. Loved this game, has a very special charm to it.
This is one of my comfort food games. I go back to it often!

Looks like an interesting game. Added to playlist.

what if a DASHER hacked and slashed and murdered your father in an alternate universe ? when you got back to the village his head was on your bed
Haha. Loved that game. Me and my girl at the time played the hell out of it. She liked fixing the towns
Awesome, glad to hear people love this game!

I believe this was Level 5's first game!
That looks fun. I could get down with that 😊
I had this game in my Wishlist before I saw this!
I really hope u get a chance to play Skies of Arcadia cause that game is RPG 🔥
It's on my list I've played about 3 hours of it before but that was quite a while ago!
@@GenesisVII dive in bro you're going to be blown away

Oh nooo! You can pick it up on ps4/5 if that's any good!

The game ain´t expensive digital and goes -50% on a regular basis, like $7.50 twice a year.
Because it's a true 6/10.
Next question.
Love this game 😇❤️
Yesssss. It's a classic!
Okay but most importantly, how are the trophies? I can't touch it unless the platinum is reasonable.
It's pretty reasonable, takes around 20 or so hours
@@GenesisVII are you going to do a video that breaks them all down like you usually do?
@@user-ni8rl6pf4q I got the plat years ago so I probably can't even remember haha

Are you playimg that on pc?
The footage is from an emulated version, yes.
@@GenesisVII ok thanks. I was like damn why does that look so clean 😂
😅
