  • my favorite game of all time and the sequal as well. It so simple in story, art, characters, and game mechanics yet it is more satisfying than most polished games like kingdom hearts. dudes who made this game really kick ass and should develop a third game. I actually don;t play consoles anymore and don't own any, but if a DC3 was made I'd buy it just to play at a friends place for a few weeks.

  • is it just me or does that look so fking awesome...god i wish they add some of those feature in the final product

  • Wasn't there a third dark cloud designed for the wii?

  • You know what would be creepy if that was toan's dad ? Haha

  • I bet living with space bunnies rocks XD

  • I would have loved to jump and swim and fly carpets in Dark Cloud.

    Oh, well. At least we get to speak to bunnies.

  • this takes me back to that time u_u

  • umm why is gaffer in brownboo village??

  • why didnt they stick to the original beta, it looks so much cooler and more interesting then the original, and i absolutely love the original but there looks like there is o much more to do and explore in this version.

  • Sorry, but this is one of my favorite rpgs of all time. I cant stand when someone trashtalk this excellent piece of software made by level5, that created other marvelous games: Professor Layton series DQ8 and 9, Rogue Galaxy, etc.

  • wtf magic carpet :DDD

  • Not since I saw the Beta Trailer for "Borderlands" have I ever been this flabbergasted.

  • Sony is so fake in so many ways, at least this time isn't working

  • @PersonaBrazil You sir are a sony hater, just cause dc died, which is Sega´s fault with their finacial management. Stop this nonsense. At this time ps2 hype was huge, BUT THESE GRAPHICS ARE REAL.I HAVE THE GAME. The only difference i see is that the main character received a hat and a new design in the final version. STOP BEING A DAMN LIAR IN EVERY FUCKING PS2 VIDEO. YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE JAGGIES IN THIS VIDEO:THE ELF VILLAGE HAS JAGGED LINES IN EVERY PLANK 1;13.

  • @elementalsorcerer113 See the 'Persona' on my user name? It's a tribute to my favorite rpg game, Persona 4 on the PS2. But right now i'm playin Tales of the Abyss wich it's not as good as P4: the storyline is confusing, too much names for things, the way they decide what to do is nonsense and so on...

    If someone can badmouth the PS2 it's me - while you guys moved to the next gen consoles i'm still playing your "good memories"

    So go play CoD and gimme a break. ¬¬'

  • @PersonaBrazil Sorry if I offended you man.I went a bit overboard XD.However, I am living these memories. I keep my crt tv to play n64, gc, ps2 and even wii. I think the chars still looks good, even if dated, thanks to level5 work.Its not nostalgia bullshit, this is a great game for roguelike fans, the level up mechanichs can be frutrating though. I actually dont like CoD, but I agree that this gen is flooded with shooters.Actually my faves vgs today are ds and psp because they have more JRPGs.

  • @elementalsorcerer113 No offense taken...i'm used to it and i deserve it.

    wow, too bad that i can't have the new systems - well, in fact i can but for now i'm fine with my Genesis, PS2 and some PC games.

    Glad to see that many gamers still playing old school stuff like us. =)

  • this is just a beta version of Dark Cloud, and it still looks better than many games which are released 12 years later...

  • lmao they really did some graphics improvements before the final release XD! this is so funny :3

  • Fuck A man WTF this is awesome why did they pump out that bullshit game

  • WHY GOD WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL. I would have loved to know that the character never looked like a gay girl in so tight ass close

  • WH-WHAT THE HELL? Th-those water graphics are amazing... but he's on a magic... carpet? Why'd they remove that from the game? >:P

  • I think they should have made a Dark Cloud stand-alone title where you could make your own villages and dungeons from scratch and/or pre-made material. They should make the next one for the PS3 and have this in there but with the added feature of multiplayer, so it will be a bit like Little Big Planet where as you can create your towns and dungeons, share them with friends, and play with others in these towns and dungeons.

  • @dubdubhate yeah but this should be in the multi mode.single mode is the campgain.multi u explore dungeon with other ppl that are made from the company or players as u said :)

  • if this is 1999, how the fuck did they manage to make that water graphs?

  • It's so odd, to look at this trailer, and to look back at the final product. There were no carpets or jumping (outside of the dungeon) and this kid looks younger. Yet, oddly enough, I think that the final product is just as amazing without those functions. :) Like this is you agree with me.

  • @mihaelandnate your one month old comment is the most retarded thing I've ever seen

  • @ultris07 I think it's funny that you say that, despite the fact that at least 7 people agree with me. So, you sir, are in the minority.

  • @mihaelandnate Yeah this beta version actually looks worse than the original haha

  • Wait, weren't the hooded guys... bunnies?

  • @BoomarangComet Yes, they were. Their called "Moon People" btw.

  • an awsome game but dark cloud 2 is even awsomer

  • I don't remember playing this one, I don't recognize the characters, and there sure as hell was no flying carpet that I remember

  • There is a possibility of Dark Cloud 3 being made for the ps3 :D if you wanna see this happen google Dark Cloud 3 petition and sign it there are only about 910 or so people :/ that's a shame considering how awesome the 1st was

  • @GreyKeo Yeah! I was trying to spread the word about it last week too, I was number 900. Its really is a shame that fans aren't doing too much to ge Dark Cloud 3 :( well what I did was emailed Level 5 myself! I found the link to it in a video. their site is Japanese, but it did come with directions and such. I do hope whoever reads those knows English xD Look up in youtube "Dark Cloud 3 petition" should be the first video. If you wanna beg them just like I have :P

  • @korinakorinakorina Your the guy or girl i got it from :D and i agree its a shame :/ also i hope they know english XD

  • @GreyKeo Ahh! Cool~ Haha xD girl, yes. Yeah seriously, I didn't just rant, I gave them reasons and such <3 and statistics from how much both DC games sold, and how many people are still looking for it~ and maybe bashed on White Knight blah blah a little xD even if its a pretty decent game. So heck yeah, I hope they know English!

  • @GreyKeo

    I'd only want a Dark Cloud 3 if Toan and co. were back. That was what really pissed me off about Dark Cloud 2 (so much that I didn't even play it, I don't need those fuckin' strangers)

  • @demon91 ya i never played the 2nd for the same reason i was like different characters no thanks -__-

  • @demon91

    Well, the second game did have a few cameos in it (Master Utan, Osmond, Dark Genie), but you're right it is different. I enjoyed both games equally, though. I do wish they'd make a third.

  • year 1999? 0_0 graphics looked like ps3, awesome!

  • Wow it seems that I'm the only one that has the opinion that if it was released like this I would of slaughtered Level 5.

  • In 1999 !!!!

    the graphics is even better than the original ......!!

  • It's even better than the original ......!!

  • this is one of the best games for ps2. Does anyone know if Level 5 is ever gonna make dark cloud 3? So this is what the original was gonna look like?

  • This looks amazing. I would play this one 24/7! It's sad what gaming is like now, huh? I say bring back classics!!

  • One my all time favorite games

  • :[ This game looked better than the one they finalized. This one looks a bit better somehow...

  • omg he can JUMP in this one!!!

    they should have at least given him more movements in now's game, like jumping and just random movements when he's standing still for too long. woulda made the game just a tad better :/

  • @SahjanS i agree, especially on the jumping

  • kiero saber la caratula de ese juego

  • @Suprememessage Yes it did, Seda created a time portal to send Toan through the corridor of time and on his way through the dungeon stopped by Sony and gave them the blueprints and idea for PS2.

  • Why didn't Level 5 release this version too?

  • dark chronicle 2 is the best game ever

  • his movements are better then in the final version

  • Check My Dark Cloud Beats i hope U Like It.. And also Sub Me!

  • His hair... It bounced... :|

  • Oh wow they sure changed the game around a lot. But I see where they kept certain aspects. Lol but the original toan looks a lot more forgettable, I like the final design better. I do think it was smart to change from designing a single island to designing each town you go to, simply because it went so well with the games overall flow. But it would have been cool to design that island xD

  • The ps2 didnt exist in 1999 :O

  • anyone know a website or something so i can see how the battle system looks like?

  • beta stands for better usually

  • II am honestly disappointed that i never got a floating island to make a custom village on

  • omg u can jump...

    only in the beta

  • Was this one REALLY a game? Or were they planning on making it? I have the Darkcloud where Toan was wearing a hat. <.<

  • @Skyangel4700 beta means they were still making the game so its the first one but the aparently made alot of changes

  • @DjStoner96 alpha is usually before beta

    ;P

  • @deathbydouble uh... ok?

  • Is that Aerith from Final Fantasy Seven at 1:38!? O_O

  • Great game,but uhh.... Is there any fighting?

  • @jerkz10 yes jerkz, it has a lot of fighting.. infact, the battle system is incredible,its as if ur playing fiesta online, if u know that game

  • @heavengalvez i wanna see to please

  • they clearly cut corners changing the entire game when they couldn't work with the ps2s specifications just to get an early release, so many bugs and glitches

  • @b0b0maj0 wat did u mean bobo? u mean the ps2 cant handle this kind of game? wat qualifications does this game need? too bad, i think this one os better

  • @heavengalvez i mean, i think this one is better

  • I'd like to know what happened to this game... Did it get so many bad reviews or something?

  • @jerkz10 Huh? Nothing happened. The game got released and got decent reviews.

  • lol id like to plauy the beta, even if it is japaneese lol

  • I want a sequel NOW!

  • When you think about it the jumping element would piss you off sometimes, I can't imagine trying to get around Yellow Drops falling off the walkway and having to repeatedly jump back up...

    All in all I love how it was now ^^

  • @IIXairII Your right :P But I think they should have kept it in this version but the cloths should be how it is now and still keep the flying carpet. And also keeping the dungeon fighting and duels :D

  • @jerkz10 Yeah, they should've kept this kind of building configuration, i mean the way that it looked in this game made it seem like you could build a whole city with the simplest things that were given in this version!

  • i gotta say it would have been cool to play the game like this but im happy with the way it is now

  • you get to swim that would of been cool in the original but the original is still good i really want a remake though of it for xbox360 and ps3 =D

  • yae this character design i like better...

  • This looks better than the real thing! 0.0

  • Yeah!!! My brother is 18 years old and he got this game! I don't know how but when he was little my dad got this game for him! I think.. But he's giving it to me now!!!

  • They took away jumping, flying, and swimming. I like the way this guy looked.

  • Join the darkcloud3 groups on facebook everyone :D

  • one of the best fucking games ever on ps2 in my opinion

  • @nete13542

    No doubt, I played the game until I completed it 100%. That took me two years even having friends over and playing it.

  • Can you believe these graphics were before 12 years only?

    Ohh after 2000 everything changed really!

  • The water looks too amazingly detailed for something from 1999.

  • whoa

  • Brownboo still looks the same.

  • no way this could 1999 with those graphics wtf like.

  • @TheCrispism its PS2 it has those graphic options since 1998

  • @BladesFilms well im just saying like fuck this is fuckin good graphics

  • @TheCrispism prob late 1999

  • OH WHAT he could jump?! And the camera didn't end up that kind, had clipping issues with ANY fucking wall... there used to be humans at the Bunny Village? ... ohhh, that maps' different: Queens(?) on the coast, may have become Veneccio in 2, desert of course, forest in north, castle on mesa, and...Norune on east? Floaty island = proto-moon? He ran like a girl, but at least he ran like a human... VOLCANO?! I could made mountain tits!!!

  • GAAH, now I really want to play Dark Cloud again. I never did get to beat the Dark Genie before I had to take it back to the video store (I couldn't beat him with Osmond, since he only takes one hit at a time and I was using a Star Breaker -o-, and Ruby was too weak). >_<

  • amazing

  • Gosh I wish they had stuck with this D:

  • everything looks better than the actual game in this XO

    you get to build on a MASSIVE FLOATING ISLAND!!!

    I'd rather be there than a flat yellow colored turd like Norune Village >.<

  • @Dorgenark1 Looks like it woulda been too big, apparently. Damn shame.

  • he could run without a drans feather, jump in water and jump WHAAA?! D: this looks so different yet adoringly similar :)

  • WHY DID THEY TAKE OUT HIM GOING IN WATER? D:

  • holy shit Toan jumped.

  • SO..........do you fight?

  • @DeeJLiw you can but the demo did a bad job at showing it

  • hey you can jump! this is kinda better

  • Games as good as this aren't being made in 2010!

  • you know, from the description you give, it sounds like this version had a completely different plot.

  • They should have kept it like this..looks awesome..

  • toan and link, are they related?

  • @pivotXPpro Kinda, Toan was meant to be the anti link of the playstation 2. The game was supposed to be like the legend of zelda on the ps2 xD ''It was called a zelda killer back in the day''

  • holy shit this is not 1999 graphics

  • @usui1kiryu i know!

  • I like everything about the actual release, but I wish they kept jumping, falling into water, and better graphics. And it would also be cool if you can also make your own towns from scratch.

  • To my friend who hated Dark Cloud:

    Like it or hate it.

    Love it or leave.

    Toan is the man,

    You better fucking believe it.

  • @watchNHK

    My friend hated Dark Cloud too. ' n '

  • Holy cow, this is like a completely different game from the Dark Cloud that was released!

  • thumbs up that guy at 1:29 is liek od gaffer

  • @svn6000 !!! that is old gaffer!

  • Am I the only one who thinks the beta looks better than the release? I like the jumping, but not the typical anime hair. I also like the georama system better than the one that's in the actual game.

    Also, I have an odd obsession with the geostones. Orbish :D

  • @ekoukano Nope, I like more the beta version, wonder why drecesed the quality... anyway, it's a good game to play, to bad, it could be better.

  • This beta has some amazing features that shouldnt have been removed from the release copy -__-"

  • reminds me of ash frm pokemon lol

  • it looks better than most modern games >.>

  • wow thank the lord that this is not how the game was DX

  • Glad they changed it.

  • I like how this 'Toan' bends down when he talks to the people. You know in the original Dark Cloud, they never did make it clear how Toan could basically just zoom up into the air for the Georama parts. I mean I know in Dark Cloud 2 they explained it with this giant machine thing, but not in DC1. Still, beta or not, this game looks really good.

  • what the hell supersised dudes :D

  • naah the new dark cloud is better that game here looks fing easy like super dude flying around with carpet for f sackes ou and i bet its east with all the stuff here so yea now days dark cloud is much better

  • The release version of Toan made him look like a fashionable kid who couldn't do anything except fight and save the world, yet he can't make a little jump UP but he can jump down. Technically it isn't even jumping down you just walk off and he's still in standing position.

  • :C I wish he could still jump. Games that let them jump, are amazing. xD Like Jack and Daxtar. JACK CAN JUMP. Why can't Toan?! Dx

  • omg toan has hair

  • @sonicx2021 if u played the first one and actually watched the cut scenes, the opening movie shows Toan without the hat and yes he indeed has hair.

  • I remember seeing a screenshot of the flying carpet in a game magazine a long time ago...It'd have been awesome if they'd kept it this way. The map looks much more impressive and Toan's(?) body has more movement/motion when he runs, whereas in the released version he looks stiff.

    I imagine DC would have gotten better ratings had they stuck with this...because it looks very impressive.

  • This looks damn impressive for it's time.

  • wtf ! i have it too but its so lame the 2 is ok i would say the best but im not sure if is damn that dude who made that help needs some cool ideas i have some right now 1rst we need to have hunting events like fishing but in that event to hunt wolfs and monsters like a bounty hunter 2nd mining gold ect. 3rd to wear the good old chainmail armor or plate ...4rth to have pets horse somethin...5 to have wars with other people from example the town is under attack u go there kick ass out..6 to ...

  • i showed this to my friend and he said "omg, those graphics suck...". then i told him that this game is ~10 years old and he was "omg, those graphics are epic!"

  • Jump and swin...Fk what have I missed?

  • LOL the water looked great for 1999..

  • i kind of like the hair....but that makes him look like megaman.

    i kind of like the hat.....but that makes him look like link.

  • i actualy like tis version better toan seems to be able to do more =D

  • He could jump. Ok time to bust a hole in level-5's head

  • Wow, this all looks so amazing, it looks better then the final version in ever aspect, especially the Georama mode. Dark Cloud didn't have volcanoes Dl . I also like how the world map looks in this. I also like the character design in this, and someone said that was Toan's father? Dark Cloud was still a great game. I really hope to see a 3rd installment like this in the near future. Please Level 5?

    @Lazar609 Proof.

  • @kojeen1

    The Black Knight Pendragon is Toan's father, use Xiao's "Steve" weapon when fighting him.

  • @thedragoonknight

    For real? That's kinda... Fucked up? xD Nice Star Wars plot twist Level 5.

    What happened to him? Possession? Or does Steve say?

  • @kojeen1

    He says something like "You may know this man" or something like that. And he has the same weapon has Toan's father.

  • @kojeen1 actually if you use steve and somehow discover all of what steve says it will show a scene where the black knigh pentagon will show his faace to toan toan whill be like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHATTT???­?

  • @Soap5564

    What is this witchcraftery?!

  • @kojeen1 steve+the black knight pentagon+him talking nonstop he ends up saying hey toan this is your father right? then a cool scene shows him removing his mask and toans expresiion is classic hes like O.0

  • @Soap5564

    I really doubt it bro. I'd think something like this would've been posted on Youtube, even though Dark Cloud wasn't all that popular.

    Anyway, it's got to be near nerve breaking to get EVERY comment about EVERY monster from Steve. @ _ @

  • @kojeen1 its possible its been done before somone at my school brought their ps2 and played it for a while as i watched i missed part of it but black knight pentagon

    took his mask off and 2 red eyes appeared then toan saw his face in a vision

  • @Soap5564 Come on, there's no cutscene, he just says that Toan should know him. There is no Darth Vader/Luke scene shown, at all.

  • wow,amazing...everithing ^.^

  • i love the original a lot my #1 game on the ps2 but the graphics in the beta is far much better than the real game it's like RE 4 the beta it's have a way much better graphics than the final version of today.

  • The way he runs sorta reminded me of the game Gun.

  • What the hell?! Why didn't they release this one??! It looks so good! Well of course Dark Cloud 1 is fucking amazing game and i love it.... i wish they would have do this one too and release it... Dark Cloud 3 maybe? I dunno but this is awesome! :D

  • this game was good but #DC2 was perfect

    but still love this one

  • lmao im glad they came out with a better version this is my fav game of all time

  • graphics are much better and more realistic, he is moving his eyes and water effects are very realistic

  • Man, why didn't they publish this one?!

  • Wow!!! brings back memories!

  • omg toan is mexican!?!?!?!?

  • @gtasafan5  toans father

  • I want to jump! =[ and a floating island!!!!!!

  • I wish they kept the jump and the magic carpet, lol

  • So that's Toan. They should of stayed with this one. Man the Toan on the final product didn't look like hero material.

  • Wow, I had no idea this even existed. I played Dark Cloud and considered Dark Cloud 2 but didn't like the character change.

  • WHY DID THEY HAVE TO TAKE AWAY THE JUMPING???? i would like to know that toan is not a cripple and can bend his knees.

  • @jimmysmithf820 and why he has to wear that same ol' hat everyday.....
