honestly, I think diabolical box is very beautiful, although most people say it's one of the weakest in the franchise, it had such a enchanting melancholy atmosphere and an amazing soundtrack... not to mention how emotional the ending was. it makes me nostalgic for when the professor and luke's adventures were about inheritance disputes and magical boxes, so simple and yet so beautiful. no 3d graphics or complicated plots, just far fetched reveals that somehow made sense in my young mind.
@@professorgrimm4602 I just love this song from the old game on my old DS even though I didn’t know that it had a lyric like Anton’s ex-wife singing before she’s dead in the last year, but I wonder who’s Katia’s mom and Sophia’s daughter.
So true. Both Unwound Future and Diabolical Box broke my heart, but the latter hit different. At least Claire and Hershel got some closure, Anton and Sophia never did. 😢
This version is beautiful, where is it from? ❤ I thought it was the instrumental version of Salyu's single, but it's not on the cd, and the one in the OST is the music box version (iris～オルゴールver.).
"Are you listening, Sophia? I'll have to put off returning to your side for a while. There's someone I need to get to know here first. Will you forgive me for making you wait just a little longer, my dear?" I-I'm not crying, you're crying ;-;
It's hard to put into words how brilliant Professor Layton is. You stay up til all hours of the night, obsessing over that puzzle you need to beat to progress with the amazing story. The DS is the only light in your room, entrancing you with it's glare and the hypnotic puzzle music. After hours, it finally clicks, you twiddle your imaginary top hat and contentedly hit Submit. And then you're wrong. You swear alot and stab the screen furiously for it to hurry up and let you try again. I love it.
I played this when it came out... I was only 9 or 10. I don’t recall ever finishing it, though. Ten years later, at 21 years old, I just finished it after finding that the trilogy had been converted to App form. I cried at the end. Not a loud cry, or a sad cry, like I have with shows or other games. Just sat back and let the tears roll. Professor Layton has always been a happy place for me...
this is such a beautiful comment, i was much the same. it hits you right in the heart to revisit the games so many years later and all the memories come flooding back with the added new knowledge... it does bring a tear to the eye.
I did as well, when I finished the last game, it was just warm. Because I thought the series had a lovely tale and ended nicely. While I wish there were more adventures with Luke and the Professor, their story is always a safe place for me. It's a reminder of a simpler time. Though, I did quickly buy the app games the moment you said they converted it. I want to relive that now, so thank you
this was the best game in the series. Back in the day when Layton didn't have to unravel his own past, just good clean adventuring to bring help where help was needed. And it had a tea minigame. No other game will ever beat The Diabolical Box and its tea set ^ω^
man i just replayed the game after like five years bc quarantine and i spent like three days after i finished the storyline trying to find which character i forgot to serve tea to ;-;
Cried so hard during this game. I remember playing this change up to 6 Am on a school night. No regrets. Professor Layton games know how to hit you mentally and physically with puzzles and feels.
I still remember as well, in German it was „Wenn wir Beide uns sehen, steigt die Sonne empor, und ein Windhauch trägt dir meine Liebe ins Ohr“ - "When the both of us see each other, the sun rises, and a wisp of wind carries my love into your ear" Took me ages to figure out what to do as a kid until I happened to breathe into the mic lol
Honestly... Halfways through the credits, I was still wiping my tears. Things rarely move me as much as this did. Now I'm moving on to The Unwound Future. I'm so glad I got into this series of games.
I have never enjoyed any game series as much as this one. The music will just bring you to tears in seconds. The storylines are unlike that in any other game, being completely unique and amazing, bringing you to tears every single time. Nothing will ever be able to beat these games. Every single game on its own is better then any other game, not even counting the series in a whole. These games are truly magnificent.
The professor Layton games are good but the last one "Azran Legecies" was so far fetched it was stupid. I know the games are far fetched but it's so stupid...
+Sophie Wilson I have to say I disagree. The fourth one with the giant manatee was the worst. Azran Legacy was far fetched, but workable. It's when they brought in the random manatee in the fourth one that I actually started to question the Layton plot ideas.
Although Unwound Future had the saddest ending, I gotta say, the combination of an extremely endearing moral of the story and the heartwarming moments made Diabolical Box's ending very memorable. Also, SPOILER ALERT! Has anyone noticed that the three games in the Trilogies follow the same ending structures? First game: Someone leaving their hometown for adventure, Second Game: A heartwarming reunion of two people very close to each other and Third Game: A heartbreaking goodbye.
They do, but it's done in a way that doesn't feel too formulaic. SPOILER Plus with Flora I don't really care that she's leaving her home town, she needs to get the fuck away from those creepy robots :P (kidding)
It was my mom who introduced me to this game when I was around... 5 or 6. I was young and sometimes asked for her help. When I was around 10 or 11, my grandma played these games. I loved the series and she would sometimes help me. I am now 18. My grandma passed away in June of last year. It hurt. Listening to this song again a month or so after, I broke down. I miss her. This series has a place in my heart, just like many others. I love to read your all's comments on how you found the game, how you feel so attached or connected to the series, and how it is your favorite. Anyways. Have a good night. 🌙
I got into the franchise at around 8. I’m 16 now and this is the one of few games that makes me cry consistently. The ending is so beautiful. A couple years later I found Curious Village in my garage and played that for the first time, realizing that that was the first. A couple months ago I bought the original trilogy for mobile and now I’ve got unwound future under my belt. Can’t wait to play the original trilogy and now New World of Steam. This franchise is very special to me.
@@floralreads3601 He did it himself though to prevent people from stealing his family's fortune as many people liked to steal the Elysian Box. But yeah, it was sad for him though to have to go through all that and forget all about his wife and not recognize his granddaughter. Poor Anton
surely someday 😉 we will never replace akira tago, but he lives on in our hearts. layton is a beautifully constructed franchise, and what there is of it is perfect.
@Connor Chuchev Level 5 Inc Closed down their offices in America, I'm afraid to say that it might be gone, but not forever Nintendo has a history of remaking old games, so maybe we will see it again, surely someday ;(
i love that everyone has a different favourite (although lots of people like UF) because all the games are unique, while still retaining their special atmosphere. truly beautiful. 💓
@@nathanmeads6241 I was completely unfamiliar with Professor Layton when I first found Diabolical Box. At that point, Curious Village was a little hard to come by. I eventually managed to get my hands on it.
Even after all this years, some part of me remembered this song. How I wish I could play without a care, and love every new world and character like I used to.
that happened to me with these games. i played them from ages 7-9, and then lost my ds when I moved house. but then i rediscovered them, and the memories all came flooding back. layton never leaves your heart💓
i cried so hard as well. whether this game is my favourite of all the layton games, i don't know, but the series is definitely my favourite game series for certain. 💞
There are only two games that made me cry: "her" and this game. I think we really can call the professor Layton and the diabolical box a "work of art".
I agree. the ending of this game (and the other professor layton games) are works of art. they're so beautifully constructed, they make me feel so moved, and they're super nostalgic. I'll love professor layton forever, because it touched me in a way that changed me life. I'm forever thankful to the creators💞
It's funny, because I never really had any friends. They would call themselves my friends but would bully me and neglect me. I played this game and heard this piece, not knowing that years later, I would finally find a close friend and other friends that would truly care about me. My close friend plays the accordion and I play violin. The fact that the accordion and violin play parts of the piece individually in the first part of the piece mirrors how we each individually lived our lives before knowing each other. Then, just as the accordion (and cello, he also plays cello) and violin parts meet at the end, our paths crossed in the end.
While the 2nd one has also had a sad but also very beautiful and in a way happy ending, the 3rd one is definitely darker, but still, there's hope left in the end :) Gosh i loved those games and their stories as a kid...
Words cannot describe how much I love Professor Layton. It challenges you without being too hard (and there are walkthroughs online to help me), the music is just magnificent, and all of the characters are either relatable or very complex or both. Unluckily, I do not have a 3DS so I cannot play the last three games. Luckily, my boyfriend has a 3DS and he has every single Professor Layton game, including the Ace Attorney crossover. He loves Professor Layton just as much as I do, and we have had many gaming sessions with his 3DS.
relationship goals! honestly i find it hard to put it into words how much i love professor layton too, there's just something about it that I can't place a finger on that really tops it all off... still, they are truly the most moving and beautiful game I've ever played. I love them with my whole heart and i will forever.
Gosh...I remember this series since I first picked it up at an age of...7??? Wut. How. I can remember myself bringing my moms DS everywhere, solving the puzzles and all the good stuff. And, with my 7-year-old mind, somehow reached the end of the game. How was I that damn smart? How?At the end, I began to tear up. Seriously. This game is like, my fave series ever!
i played my first layton game at 7 too. now I'm remembering the sheer bliss of playing it with my young innocent mind for the first time and I'm crying lmao
In the DS trilogy, Diabolical box made me cry more than Unwound future. Unwound Future was sad is my favorite game in the trilogy. But in terms of endings, DB made me cry. If you've read the small lore or the diaries during your playthrough, the buildup to the twist was well done (even if the twist is a bit farfetched). Sophia and Anton's story was so sweet. Unwound Future was actually my first game but DB's ending was just so bittersweet to me.
I've never even played any Professor Layton games but this is a banger. That drop at 2:13 (Yeah, I feel funny saying this about such a chill song, but, man. Good stuff.)
it makes me tear up remembering my childhood, how i only used to worry about whether professor layton would discover the mystery's solution, without any stress or anxiety, just real bliss of sitting at home and on trains, uncovering layton's mysteries one at a time.
I did when I finally beat it, I cried too. I've never beat curious village or lost future or played the others but this one I just find not only the closest to reality but one of the strongest (only beaten by lost futures ending which I've now looked up) and the only fantasy in this really is the gas and the unrealistic bridge into the castle. Other than that it is P E R F E C T!
the new professor Layton games for 3ds.. just aren't the same as the old ones, these are masterpieces I wish I could play them for the first time again :'(
Hisoka Amorou I love them all but honestly I think I love the 3ds ones just a little more. I loved them all of course, but the soundtrack in the 3ds ones are just too good
yes i liked the 3d games, but i didn't like the 3d element, and I loved the original art style - I wish they'd kept it, it was part of the series' charm.
I played this game series 8 years ago and to this day I hold it close to my heart. I'm not a 'gamer', but I absolutely adore story driven games and puzzles, this games are the perfect combination of the two. I'm always going to be grateful for having the opportunity to play this amazing videogame saga
I only joined the fandom in October but DANG DOES THE MUSIC MAKE ME CRY HARD- (This series is the only video game series that’s successfully made me cry)
Whenever I hear this song, I always see Sophia's face in the sky, smiling at her loved ones, knowing that the day they will join her is far away from now...
i get that, professor layton was my childhood, so I put off playing the azran legacy for ages, because it didn't want it to be over. but this year, i realised that all good things must end. I played the game, and let me tell you, when it finished, I've never cried so hard in my life. surely someday.
Probably the most satisfying "The End" theme I've ever heard in my life. It just carries such incredible happiness and satisfaction. Nearly brought me to tears the first time I heard it without the goofy credits sequence. P.S. Also it kinda reminds me of Fairy Tail, especially starting at 2:13
Man, i really want to replay this, But at the same time i dont want to. i cant re-live the memories i made as a child so maybe its better to leave them untouched i guess.
that's true. i replayed and the nostalgia hit me hard. I'd recommend replaying, it's a comfort to know that the professor and luke and flora and everyone are still there, waiting for you with their puzzles. plus, the game's soundtrack and artwork is really beautiful.
Curious village was extremely light hearted and didnt dwell too much on the emotional aspects of the story. Pandoras box just threw that straight out of the window with a painfully heartbreaking conclusion. Lost future had the jaunty story of Curious village with the sad ending of Pandoras Box. Spectre's Call was a bit 'out there' in terms of story, but the backstory provided for all the characters makes it amazing to play.
coming back after 12-13 years, when i was young and life was beautiful in my eyes, i just cried listening to this again. wonderful memory from my fav series!
The nostalgia really kicks in when I hear this song. It reminds of some of the ridiculous puzzles that I eventually managed to solve (with help because I'm such a dumbass) and beating my first Professor Layton game and crying because of the emotional ending and the music really didn't help me hold back the tears. This is also my favourite Professor Layton game. I still love the other games but Pandora's Box really stands out for me. I'm just so sad that they have stopped making Professor Layton games T-T...
Huehueh. Me too. When I was like, what, 7 I somehow (like, seriously, how was I THAT smart?) was able to go through the whole game. Must've had a ton of hint coins. And that ending. That ending. When I finished it, I literally began tearing up. This is the only series that made me cry. In the unwound future, after playing it like 50000 times, it somehow made me cry again...hypocritical...
+Penny Pecpec Yeah, people who are madly in love with each other and just knowing that it is never possible to be reunited really disheartens me. Also, love misunderstandings are like that too. Anton and Sophia are a perfect couple and they should've been together until the very end. I just hope my future relationship doesn't end up like that. Whew! Feelings ●~●
when i played professor layton as a kid, i never realised just how heartbreaking the lost future was. (it hits me with so much nostalgia too which doesn't help) but I absolutely _sobbed_ when I replayed the game.
Oh man I remember playing this game the story was amazing. This track just triggered a river of nostalgia for me. I'm happy that they're bringing the series back alive.
To me this is the greatest game series I've ever played. So well written and crafted. Back when we were poor this was my only Christmas gift. My mom didn't even buy it she got it with fidelity points at a supermarket. This was truly a blessing in disguise. I think Pandora box is my favorite because of sentimental value.
the fact the professor layton has had a positive impact on you makes me so happy. it really is a beautiful series. i hope you're doing well 💞 pandora's box is very underrated, it has a truly amazing soundtrack, and made me cry my eyes out when I finished.
This was my first game in the series. I got it accidentally, because when i was around 8 or 9 I sent my faulty DSi to the store to be fixed and when i got it back, a copy of Professor Layton and Pandora's Box had been put inside the console. I tried it out and was instantly hooked by the extremely spooky plot of Andrew Schrader's death. Since then I've played through every game in this series wayyyy too many times. I haven't gotten my hands on the Lady Layton game as i was a little bit disappointed that the professor was gone. The original trilogy is my favourite by far, although i still have a sweet spot for The Spectre's Call. All i can think of when Pandora's Box comes to mind is that god damned mushroom puzzle which i couldn't figure out at all and forced me to drop the game for a while back when i was still quite young...
I only played through the Layton games for the first time last year and I already look forward to playing them all again. Especially this game here though, there's just something to it, that makes it my absolute favorite of the whole bunch.
Oh, I hated that stupid mushroom puzzle it was so unclear what the objective was even with all the hints or maybe I'm just dumb, any way you're not missing out on much by not playing the lady Layton game the puzzles, stories and characters aren't as good I can only remember one of their names, sadly its pretty forgettable at least to where I played up to.
My friends thinks i'm weird cuz i think that these games are the best games ever created on any console but they are just so good. I always get the feels when I listen to music like this and I love the way in each game the ending is unexpectant and really FREAKIN SAD!! It may seem weird but I cried at the ending of some of the games. Especially the lost future. XD
that happened to me a few months ago. i was obsessed with professor layton from the ages of 7 to 9 and then I just stopped playing on my ds as I got older, and i tidied it away somewhere when i moved house. then i found it again a few months ago and fell completely back in love, and replayed all the games, so good god the nostalgia hit me hard. but they're such beautifully crafted games, from the artwork, to the puzzles, to the soundtrack, and those characters we grew to love as children who are still waiting when we get back to them. professor layton is honestly one of the most things to me, and I hold it close to my heart. 💓
anton was a tragic character. but he was reunited with his granddaughter in the end, and lived his last days in happiness, which made for the perfect bittersweet ending.
This song brings back so many mermaids. Every game made my love for this game stronger and stronger. First it started with a curious village, then a box, and then an unwound future. Professor Layton is arguable the best game to troll with your emotions. These games made who I am today and I’m so blessed to have been able to play these games. I remember begging my sister to try and help me figure out puzzles and getting frustrated. God bless you Professor Layton❤️
God bless layton 💞 he truly improved my life; discovering the games was one of the best things in my life. the tears still fall after years and years, with the memories of childhood and the happiness of innocence - not having to worry about anything, just whether layton would solve his mystery. i really do appreciate the games.
The soundtrack had no business in going this hard for a kid's puzzle game. Iris & and the Main themes of Pandora's box and Unwound Future were absolute bangers.
I hope people will continue to listen to this music for years to come despite the seemingly end of the series, the music truly is a work of art and beauty that could describe all the emotions of the game.
i got this game and the curious village from a cousin. i had namco museum ds and mario so i didn’t bother playing this one. i dug it out last year and damn it was better than i imagined. thanks, layton.
Sophie Wilson Really? I found Azran Legacy pretty impressive. While the music wasn't the best in the PL title, the puzzles, gameplay, characters, and story was excellent.
The song has a special place in my heart. It reminds me of the last summer I spent in Minnesota before we moved. For some reason, this song reminds me of all the wonderful memories I had back then. It's amazing of how listening to music you used to can unlock the feelings of your past, isn't it? : )
It really is, just like Anton unlocked the memories of his past with Sophia. I think this game brings back memories of holidays and family for lots of people, because we all played it as children on holiday, when everything was more simple and there was nothing to worry about. Nostalgia at its finest.
I'm crying every time I hear it. I played it the first time with the age of seven. It was a wonderful time... I love it! And I will love it for the rest of my life. 😍
layton has always had its own place reserved in my heart. I'll never forget playing it as a kid, and replaying it again. it's truly a blessing that I ever played them.
This was my favorite game in the Layton series. It was the first one I finished and I cried so hard every time I finished the game. I hope to see more games like this one in the future. :">
i absolutely love this game, it not only educates you, it also teaches you on how to love, forgive, and sacrifices that's needed to make for someone you love.. i cried when this music starts, it really touches me :')
I have never been so sad to finish a game as this one... I came back to it after a while and was blown away by the nostalgia.. I love you, Pandora’s box
the series is so uniquely beautiful. you don't know where or when it's set, but you know that the characters and places are close to your heart 💓, and they'll stick with you forever. a truly amazing series of games.
I played this for the first time when I was a wee little child in 2009. This theme honestly gives me one of the most powerful nostalgic reactions ever--
I recently finished Professor Layton and the Diabolical/Pandora's Box and this had to be my favorite track by far. And what made this even better, not only does this make me more excited for the adventures I'll have with Luke and Layton, But it was the first Professor Layton Game I finished.. when I saw that the entirety of Folsense (:OO FOLSENSE COULD MAYBE BE PRONOUNCED LIKED FALSE SENSE!! :OO I JUST NOW REALIZED THAT! ) was an illusion, I shed a few tears and I'm not one who cries over video games (That's a lie, I cried playing Mario Galaxy.) endings or story line. But this just.. it gave me the feels. It made me realize that even if Anton felt some False Hope in his 'Village', His love for Sophia never faded. He may have hated her for the wrong reason, but that's because he truly loved her. I just can't wait til I continue The Curious Village, Specter's call and The Miracle Mask. (I also have the unwound future but I think it'll have to wait for a little bit...) But until then, Thank you, Hershel, Luke, Katia and Anton. It was truly a pleasure to get to go on this adventure with you. I hope to see you all again someday in the future. Until then, Best Wishes to all of you! Edit: Do you hear that Sophia? It's a song just for you. I hope you are doing well.. Katia is doing good too. I hope you like the song my dear. My time's almost here, I know it is. So you don't have much longer to wait. Sophia, dear, I love you." Made that up off the top of my head I just thought it went with the song. It's like a short side message that Anton might send to Sophia before he departs to the second life to see her. Anyways, that's all I got :3 May hope guide your path, and who knows, Maybe we'll meet again.
I almost cried reading this I'm so happy you liked the game, I'm always stalking this comment section to read people's stories so It's really amazing to see someone fall in love with this game for the first time I hope you like the other games in the series when you play them.
the fact that professor layton touches everyone's heart like this is a true testament to it's specialness - there's something so unique about the layton games, i've never played anything quite like them. and your comment made me emotional 💓
@@floralreads3601 The Professor Layton games are just heart warming and beautiful, same with the movie. And yes, there is something truly unique about the games... isn't there.
Beautiful. Its a happy song, just like the way Anton is happy to be with Katia, but it still has a sad feeling to it, it fits the mood perfectly. Great ending song
i used to ask my mum to help. im forever thankful that she bought me the games for me when i was 8. they impacted me in such a positive way, and while it sounds cliché, they really did change my life for the better.
I've never even played the game. Me and my band did the unwound future and my hand slipped to press the video. I don't think I've ever cried this much before in my life.
i found this song on a relaxing nintendo music playlist and cried while listening to it, almost like I had heard it before, when things were better. But yet, somehow, i had never heard this song until then, I might play this game purely to hear the music, it sounds like a great time!!!
and then stomps in it and throws it out the window. and then comes back and replaces it, because as much as layton makes me sad, it's like a comfort to me. it must be the nostalgia
I swear i was humming the main melody from this song for many years not remembering it came from this amazing game, I used to play a lot and talk about the series with my sister when we were children but I mostly forgot about all the great music aside from the main themes of each game, finally realizing where this familiar tune came from made me shed tears
Anyone else here feeling like they reunited with a loved one they thought died?
Because I sure am. Welcome back, Hershel.
i 4 one
am insanely hyped
Hi palex. Couldn’t agree more
Unwound Future’s ending is absolutely heartwrenching, but sometimes it feels that people tend to forget the beauty of Diabolical Box’s ending.
honestly, I think diabolical box is very beautiful, although most people say it's one of the weakest in the franchise, it had such a enchanting melancholy atmosphere and an amazing soundtrack... not to mention how emotional the ending was. it makes me nostalgic for when the professor and luke's adventures were about inheritance disputes and magical boxes, so simple and yet so beautiful. no 3d graphics or complicated plots, just far fetched reveals that somehow made sense in my young mind.
@@floralreads3601 Weakest? Diabolical Box is actually my favourite, lol.
@@professorgrimm4602 I just love this song from the old game on my old DS even though I didn’t know that it had a lyric like Anton’s ex-wife singing before she’s dead in the last year, but I wonder who’s Katia’s mom and Sophia’s daughter.
So true. Both Unwound Future and Diabolical Box broke my heart, but the latter hit different. At least Claire and Hershel got some closure, Anton and Sophia never did. 😢
This version is beautiful, where is it from? ❤ I thought it was the instrumental version of Salyu's single, but it's not on the cd, and the one in the OST is the music box version (iris～オルゴールver.).

You don't need to say "I swear" because we all know this music is gold.
Nishiura is lowkey the best video game composer imo
@@amnesiacapothecary Nishiura has a special place in my heart.
Finally someone said it

It's hard to put into words how brilliant Professor Layton is. You stay up til all hours of the night, obsessing over that puzzle you need to beat to progress with the amazing story. The DS is the only light in your room, entrancing you with it's glare and the hypnotic puzzle music. After hours, it finally clicks, you twiddle your imaginary top hat and contentedly hit Submit. And then you're wrong. You swear alot and stab the screen furiously for it to hurry up and let you try again. I love it.
Such an old comment it's hard to truly appreciate how long ago it's been since you wrote that. Oh how I wish I could experience it all again
Couldnt have said it better 🎩
''There's someone down here I need to get to know a little better first.''
Such a deep line. This story was 10/10.
it was beautiful and there were a lot of tears
The trilogy would make 3 fantastic films if you asked me
It showed character development in just a few words.
I played this when it came out... I was only 9 or 10. I don’t recall ever finishing it, though.
Ten years later, at 21 years old, I just finished it after finding that the trilogy had been converted to App form.
I cried at the end. Not a loud cry, or a sad cry, like I have with shows or other games. Just sat back and let the tears roll.
Professor Layton has always been a happy place for me...
this is such a beautiful comment, i was much the same. it hits you right in the heart to revisit the games so many years later and all the memories come flooding back with the added new knowledge... it does bring a tear to the eye.
I did as well, when I finished the last game, it was just warm. Because I thought the series had a lovely tale and ended nicely. While I wish there were more adventures with Luke and the Professor, their story is always a safe place for me. It's a reminder of a simpler time.
Though, I did quickly buy the app games the moment you said they converted it. I want to relive that now, so thank you
"I'm sorry I must keep you waiting a little while longer Sophia. . . There's someone down here I want to get to know better"
this was the best game in the series. Back in the day when Layton didn't have to unravel his own past, just good clean adventuring to bring help where help was needed. And it had a tea minigame. No other game will ever beat The Diabolical Box and its tea set ^ω^
Ugh that tea minigame was for some reason the hardest thing EVER

Cried so hard during this game. I remember playing this change up to 6 Am on a school night. No regrets. Professor Layton games know how to hit you mentally and physically with puzzles and feels.
true words, my friend
Could not have said anything truer. I don't cry over games, but I cried over this.
same, i crying right now
Do you mean 6 pm on a school night or 6 am on a school morning?
the nostalgia of remembering my childhood with layton is genuinely one of the strongest emotions I've felt in my life
"The sun rises when you and I meet, and when the wind blows, you will know my heart."
AAHHH the feels 😭
Blowing through the mic: shhhhhshhshhhh ☀️🥹
I still remember as well, in German it was
„Wenn wir Beide uns sehen, steigt die Sonne empor, und ein Windhauch trägt dir meine Liebe ins Ohr“ - "When the both of us see each other, the sun rises, and a wisp of wind carries my love into your ear"
Took me ages to figure out what to do as a kid until I happened to breathe into the mic lol
@@maxonite wunderschön ❤️
Honestly... Halfways through the credits, I was still wiping my tears.
Things rarely move me as much as this did.
Now I'm moving on to The Unwound Future. I'm so glad I got into this series of games.
If this moved you, get ready for the ending of Unwound Future. My GOD.
***** And then go thru the Azran Legacy :(( demn ninja chopping onions :((
Romeo III Sta. Ana Oddly enough, Miracle Mask had the greatest impact on me!
me too
The ending to unwound future is the saddest ending I've ever seen in any game. There is no game series better then this one.
I have never enjoyed any game series as much as this one. The music will just bring you to tears in seconds. The storylines are unlike that in any other game, being completely unique and amazing, bringing you to tears every single time. Nothing will ever be able to beat these games. Every single game on its own is better then any other game, not even counting the series in a whole. These games are truly magnificent.
true my friend true! XD
Ikr
The way I've always sold this series to people is "Come for the puzzles, stay for the story."
happymask118 Welp. My progression was more like "come for the story, stay for the puzzles and love for both.
True my friend! This game is gold!
Proof that music is more important then 3-D graphics
Sphiver Vick I dont like that they put miracle mask and azran legacy on 3DS because of that I cant play them
While upgrading to the latest, better system is important, the art-style did not need 3-D kick to it.
Sphiver Vick I heard that professor layton in 3D isnt good because you need magnifying glass to see it.
The professor Layton games are good but the last one "Azran Legecies" was so far fetched it was stupid. I know the games are far fetched but it's so stupid...
+Sophie Wilson I have to say I disagree. The fourth one with the giant manatee was the worst. Azran Legacy was far fetched, but workable. It's when they brought in the random manatee in the fourth one that I actually started to question the Layton plot ideas.
Although Unwound Future had the saddest ending, I gotta say, the combination of an extremely endearing moral of the story and the heartwarming moments made Diabolical Box's ending very memorable. Also, SPOILER ALERT! Has anyone noticed that the three games in the Trilogies follow the same ending structures? First game: Someone leaving their hometown for adventure, Second Game: A heartwarming reunion of two people very close to each other and Third Game: A heartbreaking goodbye.
They do, but it's done in a way that doesn't feel too formulaic. SPOILER
Plus with Flora I don't really care that she's leaving her home town, she needs to get the fuck away from those creepy robots :P (kidding)
Haha it makes me laugh # spoiler!...
curious village came out in 2007 and Pandora's box in 2008 haha i dont thibk that many will be spoiler now. :)
Plus the great ending theme.
I am with you. It's a really good game. It makes me play it 5 times and i am still playing it. Drugs you know
Championer Gaming
It's always the drugs.. Even Anton was on them...
It was my mom who introduced me to this game when I was around... 5 or 6. I was young and sometimes asked for her help.
When I was around 10 or 11, my grandma played these games. I loved the series and she would sometimes help me.
I am now 18. My grandma passed away in June of last year. It hurt.
Listening to this song again a month or so after, I broke down. I miss her.
This series has a place in my heart, just like many others.
I love to read your all's comments on how you found the game, how you feel so attached or connected to the series, and how it is your favorite.
Anyways. Have a good night. 🌙
Have a great life, be strong and good night :)
I got into the franchise at around 8. I’m 16 now and this is the one of few games that makes me cry consistently. The ending is so beautiful. A couple years later I found Curious Village in my garage and played that for the first time, realizing that that was the first. A couple months ago I bought the original trilogy for mobile and now I’ve got unwound future under my belt. Can’t wait to play the original trilogy and now New World of Steam. This franchise is very special to me.
every now and then i come back and shed a tear.
its been almost 11 years
that's nice because i do as well. this music is honestly beautiful and it hits me with such nostalgia
Too much time has passed. I wish it would pause for a bit
i am crying so much
12 years now and I'm still crying
@@LSKk314 thank you for commenting to remind me of this song :)
Ace Attorney and Professor Layton are the best game series on the Nintendo handheld systems
+Bender B. Rodriguez Absolutely agreed!
ACE ATTORNEY
Ikr
Plot Twist I would include Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on thag list. Explorers of Sky has the greatest story of all time imo
Played them both and I strongly agree 👏
it’s funny how Anton look so evil there, but he actually a sweet guy.. poor him :’(
Yeah. All because of a misunderstanding.
his story's kind of sad, especially seeing as he gets painted as a villain
@@floralreads3601 He did it himself though to prevent people from stealing his family's fortune as many people liked to steal the Elysian Box. But yeah, it was sad for him though to have to go through all that and forget all about his wife and not recognize his granddaughter. Poor Anton
Anton's story is so sad. I love this game. Someday we'll see Layton again... someday...
Naaaaaaaice
I like that play on words
someday. :``)
surely someday 😉 we will never replace akira tago, but he lives on in our hearts. layton is a beautifully constructed franchise, and what there is of it is perfect.
@Connor Chuchev :)
@Connor Chuchev Level 5 Inc Closed down their offices in America, I'm afraid to say that it might be gone, but not forever Nintendo has a history of remaking old games, so maybe we will see it again, surely someday ;(
i cried so much when vlad read sophia's letter.
0nirayju me too 😭
I think everyone did
Same
Is it vlad in the american version? Its anton in the european release
BoopaDoop Johnson in european it's Vlad too, think it's different for the language used
My favorite Layton game, and my first. I loved Unwound Future and Curious Village, but Diabolical Box just stuck with me.
MrMrMrprofessor I love this, too. And excellent avatar!
Exactly the same with me..
How dare you not play Curious Village first. Also you can't beat the ending from Unwound Future.
i love that everyone has a different favourite (although lots of people like UF) because all the games are unique, while still retaining their special atmosphere. truly beautiful. 💓
@@nathanmeads6241 I was completely unfamiliar with Professor Layton when I first found Diabolical Box. At that point, Curious Village was a little hard to come by. I eventually managed to get my hands on it.
Even after all this years, some part of me remembered this song.
How I wish I could play without a care, and love every new world and character like I used to.
that happened to me with these games. i played them from ages 7-9, and then lost my ds when I moved house. but then i rediscovered them, and the memories all came flooding back. layton never leaves your heart💓
i actually cried during the ending of this game. this is without a doubt my favorite game
i cried so hard as well. whether this game is my favourite of all the layton games, i don't know, but the series is definitely my favourite game series for certain. 💞
When I got to the credits of Diabolical Box I had my headphones on and was actually dancing around my kitchen to this song because it was so pretty.
I was just sitting there crying
FIRST LAYTON GAME TO MAKE ME CRY
WHY MUST U MAKE ME FEEL THINGS LEVEL 5
level 5 made me cry so gd hard over the years
Every single layton game has made me cry at some point
Even Layton Mystery Journey
But I think I was crying for a different reason with that one
There are only two games that made me cry: "her" and this game. I think we really can call the professor Layton and the diabolical box a "work of art".
+Daniel Jones I played all professor Layton games for Nintendo ds, the unwound future didn't make me cry but I loved it, too
Fun fact: Unwound Future made me bawl my eyes out, and I knew the ending going in. It's that good.
I agree. the ending of this game (and the other professor layton games) are works of art. they're so beautifully constructed, they make me feel so moved, and they're super nostalgic. I'll love professor layton forever, because it touched me in a way that changed me life. I'm forever thankful to the creators💞
@@sadlarry9322 I can't find the game "her" that you mention here. I know it's late but mind helping me please? I'm really interested.
@@classonbread5757 ahahah I'm really sorry but i meant spike jonze's movie, I don't know why I wrote "games"
I was crying before when the song began, but then when the violin part came I just broke down, it's beautiful and powerful D'X
that bit gives me chills every time, i think it's truly beautiful
oh wait
It's funny, because I never really had any friends. They would call themselves my friends but would bully me and neglect me. I played this game and heard this piece, not knowing that years later, I would finally find a close friend and other friends that would truly care about me. My close friend plays the accordion and I play violin. The fact that the accordion and violin play parts of the piece individually in the first part of the piece mirrors how we each individually lived our lives before knowing each other. Then, just as the accordion (and cello, he also plays cello) and violin parts meet at the end, our paths crossed in the end.
This is beautiful, and I'm glad you found someone in the end.
this is so beautiful. i'm happy that professor layton has managed to touch someone's life in a positive way like that 💞
@@floralreads3601 hello fizz🤪
Kurapika got that drip drip💯💯🤌🤌😂among us
@@sillycat103 hiii
I cried when I finished this game. Now on to Unwound Future...and depression, as I hear. Never played the third game, but I hear it's very sad.
Penny Filkins Yes, very sad. My favourite character is "Future Luke". I personally thought it was sadder than this game.
+KiArAmAkEn All the games are sad! But yes, none of them really topped Lost Future :'( Just because it was double the impact!
+Penny Filkins “Story Time” PLAY IT. I recommend you if you haven't do it at the day :3
While the 2nd one has also had a sad but also very beautiful and in a way happy ending, the 3rd one is definitely darker, but still, there's hope left in the end :) Gosh i loved those games and their stories as a kid...
+Penny “Story Time” Filkins Started this just the other day! Can't wait to see how it turns out for young Luke and the Professor.
Words cannot describe how much I love Professor Layton. It challenges you without being too hard (and there are walkthroughs online to help me), the music is just magnificent, and all of the characters are either relatable or very complex or both. Unluckily, I do not have a 3DS so I cannot play the last three games. Luckily, my boyfriend has a 3DS and he has every single Professor Layton game, including the Ace Attorney crossover. He loves Professor Layton just as much as I do, and we have had many gaming sessions with his 3DS.
relationship goals
+Lea Oversteegen IKR :D
relationship goals! honestly i find it hard to put it into words how much i love professor layton too, there's just something about it that I can't place a finger on that really tops it all off... still, they are truly the most moving and beautiful game I've ever played. I love them with my whole heart and i will forever.
I used to play through the game and save just before the final part so I could replay it over and over again
Yeah me too!
the ending really is beautiful
Yoooooo all the time
Gosh...I remember this series since I first picked it up at an age of...7??? Wut. How. I can remember myself bringing my moms DS everywhere, solving the puzzles and all the good stuff. And, with my 7-year-old mind, somehow reached the end of the game. How was I that damn smart? How?At the end, I began to tear up. Seriously. This game is like, my fave series ever!
i played my first layton game at 7 too. now I'm remembering the sheer bliss of playing it with my young innocent mind for the first time and I'm crying lmao
I think I was like 9 and completed the game by spending every damn hint coin I could afford
Te entiendo: este también fue mi primer Layton y me lo pasé con 6 o 7 años (creo que 6 pero no estoy seguro)
In the DS trilogy, Diabolical box made me cry more than Unwound future. Unwound Future was sad is my favorite game in the trilogy. But in terms of endings, DB made me cry. If you've read the small lore or the diaries during your playthrough, the buildup to the twist was well done (even if the twist is a bit farfetched). Sophia and Anton's story was so sweet. Unwound Future was actually my first game but DB's ending was just so bittersweet to me.
diabolical box is very bittersweet, whereas unwound future is just pretty sad. both make me cry though haha.
Yeah! The Professor Layton series will always have a place in our hearts ;^;💜
Professor Layton just fucking stomps on my heart😭 The games are so wonderful
literally... my heart was torn out after lost future 😭
El sol se alza cuando nos miramos, y cuando sople el viento, descubriras mi interior.
Me encanta como se puede malinterpretar la frase
That accordion is top notch. Someone needs to make sheet music for this.
agreed
the accordion is criminally underrated, and the pl series is literally a godsend for the accordion
My favorite Professor Layton game
Mine too
@teulieres cyril oui, mon jeu préférée est The Lost Future, et j'aime tous les premier 4 jeus, mais je n'ai joue pas The Azran Legacy 🥰
@teulieres cyril they all are great in their own way. 💞
And here we are, 12 years later
it's comments like these that hit me 😭
This end credits track is so powerful, I sobbed to it. At nine years old. The first time I broke down to beautiful, bittersweet music
I miss this series so much...
I'm playing the games again
I've never even played any Professor Layton games but this is a banger. That drop at 2:13 (Yeah, I feel funny saying this about such a chill song, but, man. Good stuff.)
Professor Layton = BEST GAME MUSIC EVER ( and best game too ;) )
it's been eight years since I remember solving the final puzzle, the one on the box, and hearing this song play. and yet... it still makes me well up.
about 3 years for me ;-;
it makes me tear up remembering my childhood, how i only used to worry about whether professor layton would discover the mystery's solution, without any stress or anxiety, just real bliss of sitting at home and on trains, uncovering layton's mysteries one at a time.
Who didn't cry is heartless.
yup. everyone gets emotional at this song.
I did when I finally beat it, I cried too. I've never beat curious village or lost future or played the others but this one I just find not only the closest to reality but one of the strongest (only beaten by lost futures ending which I've now looked up) and the only fantasy in this really is the gas and the unrealistic bridge into the castle. Other than that it is P E R F E C T!
the new professor Layton games for 3ds.. just aren't the same as the old ones, these are masterpieces
I wish I could play them for the first time again :'(
Hisoka Amorou I love them all but honestly I think I love the 3ds ones just a little more. I loved them all of course, but the soundtrack in the 3ds ones are just too good
yes i liked the 3d games, but i didn't like the 3d element, and I loved the original art style - I wish they'd kept it, it was part of the series' charm.
I played this game series 8 years ago and to this day I hold it close to my heart. I'm not a 'gamer', but I absolutely adore story driven games and puzzles, this games are the perfect combination of the two.
I'm always going to be grateful for having the opportunity to play this amazing videogame saga
Learning how to play this on my alto sax, taking me ages since I have to do it by ear, but it's gonna be worth it!
How did it go?
this is three years old, but well done, because this song is lovely.
I hope it went well!
Is it complete?
I really hope you completed it.
I don't know why I'm crying every time when I listen this song..:'(

I cry every time I hear this. I like it though, because they aren't sad tears, just bittersweet nostalgic tears. beautiful in a sad way...

when your childhood is over
i get that, professor layton was my childhood, so I put off playing the azran legacy for ages, because it didn't want it to be over. but this year, i realised that all good things must end. I played the game, and let me tell you, when it finished, I've never cried so hard in my life. surely someday.
You thought!
Probably the most satisfying "The End" theme I've ever heard in my life. It just carries such incredible happiness and satisfaction. Nearly brought me to tears the first time I heard it without the goofy credits sequence.
P.S. Also it kinda reminds me of Fairy Tail, especially starting at 2:13
the credits in every layton game were what always set me off sobbing...
Man, i really want to replay this, But at the same time i dont want to. i cant re-live the memories i made as a child so maybe its better to leave them untouched i guess.
that's true. i replayed and the nostalgia hit me hard. I'd recommend replaying, it's a comfort to know that the professor and luke and flora and everyone are still there, waiting for you with their puzzles. plus, the game's soundtrack and artwork is really beautiful.
Curious village was extremely light hearted and didnt dwell too much on the emotional aspects of the story.
Pandoras box just threw that straight out of the window with a painfully heartbreaking conclusion.
Lost future had the jaunty story of Curious village with the sad ending of Pandoras Box.
Spectre's Call was a bit 'out there' in terms of story, but the backstory provided for all the characters makes it amazing to play.
IKR although curious village still makes me nostalgic as hell
coming back after 12-13 years, when i was young and life was beautiful in my eyes, i just cried listening to this again. wonderful memory from my fav series!
This is the first piece of video game music that has made me cry
god yes, the layton osts are so emotional....
The nostalgia really kicks in when I hear this song. It reminds of some of the ridiculous puzzles that I eventually managed to solve (with help because I'm such a dumbass) and beating my first Professor Layton game and crying because of the emotional ending and the music really didn't help me hold back the tears. This is also my favourite Professor Layton game. I still love the other games but Pandora's Box really stands out for me. I'm just so sad that they have stopped making Professor Layton games T-T...
Huehueh. Me too. When I was like, what, 7 I somehow (like, seriously, how was I THAT smart?) was able to go through the whole game. Must've had a ton of hint coins. And that ending. That ending. When I finished it, I literally began tearing up. This is the only series that made me cry. In the unwound future, after playing it like 50000 times, it somehow made me cry again...hypocritical...
+Penny Pecpec Yeah, people who are madly in love with each other and just knowing that it is never possible to be reunited really disheartens me. Also, love misunderstandings are like that too. Anton and Sophia are a perfect couple and they should've been together until the very end. I just hope my future relationship doesn't end up like that. Whew! Feelings ●~●
when i played professor layton as a kid, i never realised just how heartbreaking the lost future was. (it hits me with so much nostalgia too which doesn't help) but I absolutely _sobbed_ when I replayed the game.
Oh man I remember playing this game the story was amazing. This track just triggered a river of nostalgia for me. I'm happy that they're bringing the series back alive.
To me this is the greatest game series I've ever played. So well written and crafted. Back when we were poor this was my only Christmas gift. My mom didn't even buy it she got it with fidelity points at a supermarket. This was truly a blessing in disguise. I think Pandora box is my favorite because of sentimental value.
IWishILivedInTheUSA !!! Beautiful story. Your mom did the best 😊
the fact the professor layton has had a positive impact on you makes me so happy. it really is a beautiful series. i hope you're doing well 💞 pandora's box is very underrated, it has a truly amazing soundtrack, and made me cry my eyes out when I finished.
This was my first game in the series. I got it accidentally, because when i was around 8 or 9 I sent my faulty DSi to the store to be fixed and when i got it back, a copy of Professor Layton and Pandora's Box had been put inside the console. I tried it out and was instantly hooked by the extremely spooky plot of Andrew Schrader's death. Since then I've played through every game in this series wayyyy too many times.
I haven't gotten my hands on the Lady Layton game as i was a little bit disappointed that the professor was gone. The original trilogy is my favourite by far, although i still have a sweet spot for The Spectre's Call. All i can think of when Pandora's Box comes to mind is that god damned mushroom puzzle which i couldn't figure out at all and forced me to drop the game for a while back when i was still quite young...
I only played through the Layton games for the first time last year and I already look forward to playing them all again. Especially this game here though, there's just something to it, that makes it my absolute favorite of the whole bunch.
Oh, I hated that stupid mushroom puzzle it was so unclear what the objective was even with all the hints or maybe I'm just dumb, any way you're not missing out on much by not playing the lady Layton game the puzzles, stories and characters aren't as good I can only remember one of their names, sadly its pretty forgettable at least to where I played up to.
omg that mushroom puzzle took me forever and i ended up googling it
I also played it first, I got a load of D's games from my cousin and this was one of them. So happy I stuck with it
Oh Christ not the mushroom puzzle
My friends thinks i'm weird cuz i think that these games are the best games ever created on any console but they are just so good. I always get the feels when I listen to music like this and I love the way in each game the ending is unexpectant and really FREAKIN SAD!! It may seem weird but I cried at the ending of some of the games. Especially the lost future. XD
The part of the credits where Beluga and Anton reunited just got to me, man
the credits images always bring a tear to my eye...
This was my favourite song when i was 7 and I've finally found it and the game again 10 years later. I'm actually crying.
that happened to me a few months ago. i was obsessed with professor layton from the ages of 7 to 9 and then I just stopped playing on my ds as I got older, and i tidied it away somewhere when i moved house. then i found it again a few months ago and fell completely back in love, and replayed all the games, so good god the nostalgia hit me hard. but they're such beautifully crafted games, from the artwork, to the puzzles, to the soundtrack, and those characters we grew to love as children who are still waiting when we get back to them. professor layton is honestly one of the most things to me, and I hold it close to my heart. 💓
The sun rises when you and I meet. When wind blows, you will know my heart. -Anton Herzen
anton and sophia hurt me on an emotional level
Man, this game really hits me....
me too. hits me in the heart. 💓
The sun rises when you and I meet and when the wind blows you shall know my heart.
anton was a tragic character. but he was reunited with his granddaughter in the end, and lived his last days in happiness, which made for the perfect bittersweet ending.
Yes is good
This song brings back so many mermaids. Every game made my love for this game stronger and stronger. First it started with a curious village, then a box, and then an unwound future. Professor Layton is arguable the best game to troll with your emotions. These games made who I am today and I’m so blessed to have been able to play these games. I remember begging my sister to try and help me figure out puzzles and getting frustrated. God bless you Professor Layton❤️
God bless layton 💞 he truly improved my life; discovering the games was one of the best things in my life. the tears still fall after years and years, with the memories of childhood and the happiness of innocence - not having to worry about anything, just whether layton would solve his mystery. i really do appreciate the games.
The soundtrack had no business in going this hard for a kid's puzzle game. Iris & and the Main themes of Pandora's box and Unwound Future were absolute bangers.
I hope people will continue to listen to this music for years to come despite the seemingly end of the series, the music truly is a work of art and beauty that could describe all the emotions of the game.
i got this game and the curious village from a cousin. i had namco museum ds and mario so i didn’t bother playing this one. i dug it out last year and damn it was better than i imagined. thanks, layton.
Eventhough the pandoras box wasnt my favourite of the Layton games, this theme really brought out the atmosphere of the game.
Which is your favourite layton game?
Out of the 5 I have played, The Miracle Mask is my favourite but I still need to play the Azran Legacy.
I wont spoil it for you but the legacy is disappointing ill but it that way...
Good luck!
Sophie Wilson Really? I found Azran Legacy pretty impressive. While the music wasn't the best in the PL title, the puzzles, gameplay, characters, and story was excellent.
The song has a special place in my heart. It reminds me of the last summer I spent in Minnesota before we moved. For some reason, this song reminds me of all the wonderful memories I had back then. It's amazing of how listening to music you used to can unlock the feelings of your past, isn't it? : )
It really is, just like Anton unlocked the memories of his past with Sophia. I think this game brings back memories of holidays and family for lots of people, because we all played it as children on holiday, when everything was more simple and there was nothing to worry about. Nostalgia at its finest.
To this day this music still makes me cry! It's so well made
me too! it's so beautiful omg

layton has always had its own place reserved in my heart. I'll never forget playing it as a kid, and replaying it again. it's truly a blessing that I ever played them.
Such a beautiful song
This was my favorite game in the Layton series. It was the first one I finished and I cried so hard every time I finished the game. I hope to see more games like this one in the future. :">
i absolutely love this game, it not only educates you, it also teaches you on how to love, forgive, and sacrifices that's needed to make for someone you love.. i cried when this music starts, it really touches me :')
absolutely! the life lessons in layton games are ones i still think about to this day...
I have never been so sad to finish a game as this one... I came back to it after a while and was blown away by the nostalgia.. I love you, Pandora’s box
it hits you right in the heart, doesn't it?
“I don’t usually get overly emotional playing games”
(Song Plays)
“Well, (sniff) I guess there’s always an exception…”
Quite possibly the most beautiful piece of video game music ever. And quite possibly the first one that ever made me flat-out cry.
god, it makes me sob
I never thought I would say these words, but that's the most beautiful accordion I've ever heard.
the best song in the entire game series
yes. iris, surely someday, time travel - what is it with the ending themes making me cry harder than humanly possible?
Love every single aspect of this game. The music, the drawings, puzzles, storylines... all make an unique atmosphere of this wonderful series.
the series is so uniquely beautiful. you don't know where or when it's set, but you know that the characters and places are close to your heart 💓, and they'll stick with you forever. a truly amazing series of games.
I played this for the first time when I was a wee little child in 2009. This theme honestly gives me one of the most powerful nostalgic reactions ever--
the nostalgia hits you like a train when you listen to the layton soundtrack
i get nostalgia and i first played the game about 3 months ago. i literally played it again last week. i still feel like this.
Just discovered this song yesterday and have been listening nonstop.
I recently finished Professor Layton and the Diabolical/Pandora's Box and this had to be my favorite track by far. And what made this even better, not only does this make me more excited for the adventures I'll have with Luke and Layton, But it was the first Professor Layton Game I finished.. when I saw that the entirety of Folsense (:OO FOLSENSE COULD MAYBE BE PRONOUNCED LIKED FALSE SENSE!! :OO I JUST NOW REALIZED THAT! ) was an illusion, I shed a few tears and I'm not one who cries over video games (That's a lie, I cried playing Mario Galaxy.) endings or story line. But this just.. it gave me the feels. It made me realize that even if Anton felt some False Hope in his 'Village', His love for Sophia never faded. He may have hated her for the wrong reason, but that's because he truly loved her. I just can't wait til I continue The Curious Village, Specter's call and The Miracle Mask. (I also have the unwound future but I think it'll have to wait for a little bit...) But until then, Thank you, Hershel, Luke, Katia and Anton. It was truly a pleasure to get to go on this adventure with you. I hope to see you all again someday in the future. Until then, Best Wishes to all of you!
Edit:
Do you hear that Sophia? It's a song just for you. I hope you are doing well.. Katia is doing good too. I hope you like the song my dear. My time's almost here, I know it is. So you don't have much longer to wait. Sophia, dear, I love you."
Made that up off the top of my head I just thought it went with the song. It's like a short side message that Anton might send to Sophia before he departs to the second life to see her. Anyways, that's all I got :3 May hope guide your path, and who knows, Maybe we'll meet again.
I almost cried reading this I'm so happy you liked the game, I'm always stalking this comment section to read people's stories so It's really amazing to see someone fall in love with this game for the first time I hope you like the other games in the series when you play them.
I'm sorry I made you cry ;w; But I'm happy you enjoyed my short story! ^^ I know I will love the other games in the series!
the fact that professor layton touches everyone's heart like this is a true testament to it's specialness - there's something so unique about the layton games, i've never played anything quite like them. and your comment made me emotional 💓
@@floralreads3601 The Professor Layton games are just heart warming and beautiful, same with the movie. And yes, there is something truly unique about the games... isn't there.
@@patsymurray6901 definitely 💞
Beautiful. Its a happy song, just like the way Anton is happy to be with Katia, but it still has a sad feeling to it, it fits the mood perfectly.
Great ending song
I used to suck at the tricky puzzles in these games when I was younger, so I just gave my DS to my older sister to solve them for me lol
lol same
i used to ask my mum to help. im forever thankful that she bought me the games for me when i was 8. they impacted me in such a positive way, and while it sounds cliché, they really did change my life for the better.
This music mix sadness and loneliness, its nice to hear it when you're alone
It's one of my favourite songs ever. Sad but happy too. 💞
One of the best games and best pieces of music I've ever listened to ♥
truly moving
So calm, yet so moving. Hits me in the feels every single time.
doesn't just hit you, it punches you with superhuman strength. but it's truly beautiful.
I've never even played the game. Me and my band did the unwound future and my hand slipped to press the video. I don't think I've ever cried this much before in my life.
the soundtrack really is beautiful. the tears fall for me every time.
i found this song on a relaxing nintendo music playlist and cried while listening to it, almost like I had heard it before, when things were better. But yet, somehow, i had never heard this song until then, I might play this game purely to hear the music, it sounds like a great time!!!
This song always rips my heart out. And puts it in a blender.
and then stomps in it and throws it out the window. and then comes back and replaces it, because as much as layton makes me sad, it's like a comfort to me. it must be the nostalgia
I swear i was humming the main melody from this song for many years not remembering it came from this amazing game, I used to play a lot and talk about the series with my sister when we were children but I mostly forgot about all the great music aside from the main themes of each game, finally realizing where this familiar tune came from made me shed tears
