My theory for how the Genie or "Fake" Genie got to the Zelmite Mines connects to the rumor that the Zelmite Mines is somehow Divine Beast cave. You see when the "Fake" Genie (F.G.) was destroyed and turned back into a rat it was tossed by Flag and thrown into the Dark Cloud when that happened Dran came to save Toan and the moon people that were in the destroyed Sun Giant. While he was doing that he must of caught the rat in his fur and carried him unintentionally back to the cave where it fell off. Once Toan restored the time line all the remnants of the Genie's power began to disapear but the rat still had enough residual power left to resist the time fix and created a time paradox. When the time paradox was created the Geneis dark power seeped into the Dark Cloud 2 world enough to affect Sirus and implant the Dark Element while it spent the rest of the 10,000 years from then to the present where the F.G. was found by Monica and Max regaining its power. Without the actual genie and having to use it's own power it took much longer then 400 years as prior to be back to full form. Due to the paradox though it can't leave the mines. Only functioning as a rift/connection between the two worlds.
if i could have 8 games it would be final fantasy 1-7 and this game this game is awesome, absolutely truly amazing gaming experience, i remember i lost this game on a cruise ship, and i cried for a whole day, ahhh nostalgia
To be honest, Seda's scream at 6:54 was AWFUL, but considering that his VA is Japanese, I'm not going to complain. Also, I love how he throws his sword to the side like that.
First I played this on the PS2 demo disc. Fell in love with it after 5 minutes of playing. Searched the stores for it for weeks. God I wanted to cry when I finally got my hands on a copy of it. Took me several years of continuous on and off playing to complete it.. but it was the best damn game I've ever played, and probably ever will play. Only thing that can possibly top this is Dark Cloud 3, if they make it. I'm so glad I kept my copy of this, can always sit back and play some good ol DC1..
i agree... wen my mom bought me a ps2 back in d day 4 me & my brothers, this game came with it... and i couldn't believe how addictive this game was.. i really think that this is 1 of d reasons y people still play ps2...im trying 2 find me a copy now.. so i could play this again.. this games is like a very good movie that stars you.. and u go through level after level 2 try in restore ur lost village.. i give this game 2 thumbs & 8 fingers!!! VERY LEGENDARY!!!
I'm not sure if I'm the only one (and I don't want to sound like a baby) But the whole part with Sophia makes me teary eyed every time I watch it..... I love this game sooooo much!
Haha, when I was 10 I got stuck in this part because I had no clue how the game worked, I literally went the whole game with a broken dagger and then when I got this fight and you had to use elemental attributes, I was basically screwed, never passed it afterwards, recently I started playing it again and being older, the game is loads easier now, funny, I can't wait to actually beat this game soon.
I somehow beat it and had the patience to get the 7th Heaven and Supernova to defeat the Dark Genie. However I've never beaten the 2nd one, but I'm working on it. I'm at chapter 3 with a not so strong ridepod, Monica has a shamshir and a crystal band, and max has the smash wrench and bell trigger
+Peter Goreham lol. Keep both max and Monica powerful. Word of the wise, from someone who beat ALL the chapters (including the secret chapter 8) the ride pod becomes useless, I never relied on it, and at chapter 8, he's useless anyways.
My first ps2 game. Got when i was in the seventh grade and didn't really understand it.I started back playing when i was in the eleventh and beat and loved it.
I wish I still had my PS2 and the game.. It makes me sad if I see this because when I was only 5/6 years old I played/loved this game and I never managed to end it, I only got to level 13 of the final dungeon ;(
when i first heard u had to go 400 years into the past i thought it was gonna be 1 year at a time... but then when i went to the demon shaft my thoughts ib king dungeons changed big time
Oh so he does ^.^ My apologies, I havent played it in a while and I just remembered the yellow light that comes from it. You're right though. Hmm that does make you wonder then o.o
i wonder if that assasin is using dark powers..his magic looks like the same type of magic the dark genie has. he might have even been the old man who gave Seda the dark blood, and planned this to see what would come of the tragedy.
king seda is not an idiot he was just so used to the cold bitterness of war that when the time of peace came his body and mind could not fully comprehend it!its a simple matter and also what seda did all of it he did for noble reason trying to save all who he loved!
LOL the little scene in the beginning is SO done in illustrator/Photoshop, hehe i cnt stop thinking hw things are designed hehe js ignore an animation student's rambling hahaha
Sorry I'm 6 months late; but if you're still looking for a PS2 Emulator; PCSX2 is the one I use and it's really good. I run it on my laptop and don't get any fp/s lag on Final Fantasy X or Dark Cloud, the .iso itself you'll have to scout around .isohunt for a while.
i know its a noble sacrifice Sophia made, but the second that wierd dude stabbed her in the back, i said "pwned", lol, i know that was uncalled for but i just had to say it =P
Umm, I don't really recall even needing to use the mouse, haha. Aside from clicking off the emulator to view something else like Facebook but anyway; you can configure each specific button with a key from your keyboard. c: As for analog sticks, you'd need to get a plugin and install drivers so it registers your actual controller, PS3 or Xbox360.
TO picachuatack19- you have to go to the gemo. soomething parts when in the dungeon nand push triangle like your going to make an area or rebuild the place.and you put in all the parts and read and thn you can go to the final boss fight
I still think Seda is kind of dumb. Whena person who hangs behind you refusing to show emotions says that the person in front of you, almost in tears is a copycat assassin fro the west, I'd suspect the person behind me without having been blinded by what lies in front of me. BTW, what's the best way to get money?
True, so true. Actually started playing this game again a couple days ago, still is a masterpiece. Maybe I finally will go and kill the Dark Knight... :)
This game, including Dark Cloud 2 / Chronicles, is so underrated, yet so amazing.

Mmm that sounds logic

Very late, but what does his VA being Japanese have to do with it?
Lol this video pops up in my reccomended on December 24th, 2019, exactly 12 years after this video was uploaded.
First I played this on the PS2 demo disc. Fell in love with it after 5 minutes of playing. Searched the stores for it for weeks. God I wanted to cry when I finally got my hands on a copy of it.

"Seda be careful. It's probably an assassin from the West..." That's oddly specific. You wouldn't question why Sophia would say that?
It would be even weirder if Sophia screamed in pain after the assassin stabbed her.
Also, I was shocked that Seda *swore* in this part of the game.
@@SierraGustafson Well if I'm being honest, Dark Cloud 1 had a lot of edginess in it, especially towards the end when things got really grimdark.
this games' soundtrack grew on me so much as a kid. childhood memories..
i remember playing this game like a few years ago and it was the one of the best games with the best story lines ever
i agree... wen my mom bought me a ps2 back in d day 4 me & my brothers, this game came with it... and i couldn't believe how addictive this game was.. i really think that this is 1 of d reasons y people still play ps2...im trying 2 find me a copy now.. so i could play this again.. this games is like a very good movie that stars you.. and u go through level after level 2 try in restore ur lost village.. i give this game 2 thumbs & 8 fingers!!! VERY LEGENDARY!!!
Sophia's death seems so similar to Tellah's death in FFIV after you beat the Magus Sisters in the Tower of Zot.
ruclips.net/video/xaLB5xHIjSs/видео.html
This is one of the hardest games i have ever played.
The broken dagger glitch saved my butt on this boss... XD
6:50 I love this part lol.
What? My God-awful scream?
400 years back not levels.
Wathcing all these videos of a game I played 3 years ago...I WANT TO PLAY IT ALL OVER AGAIN, despite its so hard...
The scenes! From what Homepage are they?
Sorry but I can not so good speak english I`m German, very sorry!!!
What's the song name for when Toan arrives (FINALLY) at the 400 years ago dungeon? I would love it if someone would upload it :D
I'm not sure if I'm the only one (and I don't want to sound like a baby) But the whole part with Sophia makes me teary eyed every time I watch it..... I love this game sooooo much!
do you know a good ps2 emulator? I really want to play this. And also where I can get Dark Cloud for the emulator.
That song is called "Memories" I got it lmao.
PS2, one of the first games published on the PS2 :D
i FINNALY found someone today that had this game for sell, i hope i'd get it from him, it brings back so many memories
@Thengel123 either 25 or 26. the levels skip around so its not exactly 400 levels since it said 400 years ago.
cool do you know where can i buy this game? i really much want it to my ps2
thnx anyway
i loved playing this game back in the day...im about to go beat it again lol. It is by far one of the best games i have played in my life.
the music during the story of the guy's life, where can i find that?
Yes still am thanks! Is it easy to set up for Mouse/Keyboard controls too?
2 years ago an online petition was made for Dark Cloud 3 Level 5 states "We may make Dark Cloud 3 if more fans demand for it" so sign it people.
Haha, when I was 10 I got stuck in this part because I had no clue how the game worked, I literally went the whole game with a broken dagger and then when I got this fight and you had to use elemental attributes, I was basically screwed, never passed it afterwards, recently I started playing it again and being older, the game is loads easier now, funny, I can't wait to actually beat this game soon.
I somehow beat it and had the patience to get the 7th Heaven and Supernova to defeat the Dark Genie. However I've never beaten the 2nd one, but I'm working on it. I'm at chapter 3 with a not so strong ridepod, Monica has a shamshir and a crystal band, and max has the smash wrench and bell trigger
Also finding out all this stuff about Seda blew me away.
+Peter Goreham lol. Keep both max and Monica powerful. Word of the wise, from someone who beat ALL the chapters (including the secret chapter 8) the ride pod becomes useless, I never relied on it, and at chapter 8, he's useless anyways.
I will replay it myself soon
Me too...too bad I can't find her anymore! It brings some fine memories!:)
My first ps2 game. Got when i was in the seventh grade and didn't really understand it.I started back playing when i was in the eleventh and beat and loved it.
I wish I still had my PS2 and the game.. It makes me sad if I see this because when I was only 5/6 years old I played/loved this game and I never managed to end it, I only got to level 13 of the final dungeon ;(
Love the music... And the story.
trust me your not the only one xD this game's storyline is amazing
when i first heard u had to go 400 years into the past i thought it was gonna be 1 year at a time... but then when i went to the demon shaft my thoughts ib king dungeons changed big time
Oh so he does ^.^ My apologies, I havent played it in a while and I just remembered the yellow light that comes from it. You're right though. Hmm that does make you wonder then o.o
i wonder if that assasin is using dark powers..his magic looks like the
same type of magic the dark genie has. he might have even been the old man who gave Seda the dark blood, and planned this to see what would come of the tragedy.
this brings back memories
i love this game
lol
Toan's only word through the whole game "I"
'!'
You can see a typo in this scene, it says "I"
king seda is not an idiot he was just so used to the cold bitterness of war that when the time of peace came his body and mind could not fully comprehend it!its a simple matter and also what seda did all of it he did for noble reason trying to save all who he loved!
THIS GAME IS AWESOME! Dark Genie was hard cos I only trained Toan (main boy). The powerful sword is called Chronicle Sword II.
I was so scared when I stood in front those doors when I was going to kill the genie.
this was my first ps2 game, and the best i have ever played
Toan has the yellow atmlamilla though. Which Emperor Griffin has in Dark Cloud 2. So I dont see how that could be.
Was the king in the story the rich guy in Darkcloud2?
i remember this game on my ps2 demo!! i finally found it after 5years finding
We not gonna talk about how Seda THREW the man off the balcony with essentially 1 arm? 😂
I can't be the only one that found that stab and SFX funny at 6:23 lmfao
I love this game so much! :DD one of my favorites
Poor guy flew off the building down some 50 floors...
how many MB this game, i got only demo, but i will modchip my ps2, so how many MB is this?
i love the song at the beggining
what is the song? please
what's the name of the music
Hey what do you mean by this gam is unnlockable...
Does Anyone know if i can find this game on PC??
Or this game is ONLY for PS2?? :(
LOL the little scene in the beginning is SO done in illustrator/Photoshop, hehe i cnt stop thinking hw things are designed hehe js ignore an animation student's rambling hahaha
boutght this the yesterday luv it brings back good memories :)
really, where u get that info?
might be able to play the disk seeing a ps3 can run select ps2 games or a computer ps2 emulator will work also
if u watch it all u can see that she protects seda from the knife stab that the assassin does...
I always had trouble with this guy!! I just couldn't freaking beat him!! Do you just need a strong weapon or something??
I just love how seda kills the assasin
@yamemaru
me to
but i only playd the demo :(
i want tho buy that game so mutch but i dont know were :(
Does anyone know what this song in the beginning is called?
The Corridor of Time.
Sorry I'm 6 months late; but if you're still looking for a PS2 Emulator; PCSX2 is the one I use and it's really good. I run it on my laptop and don't get any fp/s lag on Final Fantasy X or Dark Cloud, the .iso itself you'll have to scout around .isohunt for a while.
Does this make anyone else cry besides me?
I STILL HAVE THE GAME AND IT'S SO EPIC. I still wish.......
that i beat the game at least once without losing my save data
I like them both actually. And instead of asking for a sequel, why not ask Sony Computer Entertainment to create a remake ?
And a 3rd one is rumored to be on the way... :D
ok so... how did the princess die?> im confused
i love this game, its been a while since i played it, im still stuck in the desert place though =P, never got that far
i know its a noble sacrifice Sophia made, but the second that wierd dude stabbed her in the back, i said "pwned", lol, i know that was uncalled for but i just had to say it =P
i meant "on long" not "ib king"
@Thengel123 oh. i think its 26. i dunno cuz i have it but i dont play it that often and im on this boss level.
I uploaded the opening animation of the dark cloud. Please look by all means
@Dordracnor That is called rage my friend
its the greatest game ive ever played and iwish that a second part with these main characters will be made! not the kiddy cartoon chronicles... !
Umm, I don't really recall even needing to use the mouse, haha. Aside from clicking off the emulator to view something else like Facebook but anyway; you can configure each specific button with a key from your keyboard. c:
As for analog sticks, you'd need to get a plugin and install drivers so it registers your actual controller, PS3 or Xbox360.
I once had it... it cant be buyed anymore T_T
I know its a game, but this game it really IS a true masterpiece.
TO picachuatack19-
you have to go to the gemo. soomething parts when in the dungeon nand push triangle like your going to make an area or rebuild the place.and you put in all the parts and read and thn you can go to the final boss fight
0:00 HOLY CRAP...
400 Levels to the Gallery of Time?
Actually its 25 floors.
komisch... warum erinnert mich die szene am ende an sephiroth und aerith ? ^^
how they do so fucking good music? almost crying ;) but im happy ;)
wow...I have this game =)
Awesome!
How is that a game?
...this game is only 9 years old...
they need to make another dark lcoud for the next gen councel!
geez that was a bit extreame, stabbing him through the chest and then throwing him off the balcony.
This made me fucking cry
I would think everyone would be aware of the Demon Shaft by now **LOL**
this game is much harder than the 2nd one, but the story is very nice
I still think Seda is kind of dumb. Whena person who hangs behind you refusing to show emotions says that the person in front of you, almost in tears is a copycat assassin fro the west, I'd suspect the person behind me without having been blinded by what lies in front of me. BTW, what's the best way to get money?
amazing game...i love it :)
the music is fantastic...
I bought it for £20 in Blockbuster a few years ago, I don't have it anymore it's a shame. :P
Man.. They sold back this game, before I could beat the final boss, he was so hard!! xD
True, so true. Actually started playing this game again a couple days ago, still is a masterpiece.
Maybe I finally will go and kill the Dark Knight... :)
NOT REALLY!!!! im sad that they didnt made a sequel to this....
ps2 wasnt out yet
