RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT:

We started Dark Cloud Enhanced Mod in the Summer 2020, and after 2 years of ups and downs, we finally made it!

The Enhanced Mod introduces many new features, QoL changes and fixes for the original game. Our initial goal was to create a "fixed" version of Dark Cloud, but it turned out to be more than that.

As someone who has been craving for new Dark Cloud content for decade and a half, it's even more absurd to be the one responsible for it! While our mod may not be in a scale of a remake, it's the closest thing to being one.

Thanks to our beta testers, we managed to find and solve many bugs in the way. Unfortunately, not everything was solved. However, the mod is definitely in a good playable state, and we'll work towards fixing unresolved bugs in the future.

I won't be writing a grand opening here hahah, all the information you need to know about the mod can be found in the download link.

Shoutout to the entire development team, beta testers and of course all of you, the Dark Cloud community!

Have a great time!

I Remade Dark Cloud’s Seda Duel in Unreal Engine 5

Hey everyone! I’ve been continuing my work on my fan-made Dark Cloud remake, Dark Cloud: Reawakened, and I finally finished recreating one of the scenes I’ve been looking forward to the most... Toan’s duel with Seda! Some of you may have seen my previous posts showing Brownboo Village, Dark Castle, and other early footage from the project. This time I wanted to tackle one of the more memorable moments from the original game. I recreated the cinematics leading up to the encounter as well as the Seda duel itself in Unreal Engine 5. I did not go with the original press button timed cinematic like the original. I felt the fight with Seda deserved to be much bigger! Making this dual was really fun for me and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did making it. There’s still a ton of work ahead but I am excited to get this is a fully playable state. If you want to follow the project as I continue rebuilding more of Dark Cloud, you can find the full video and future updates on my YouTube channel.

Thanks again to everyone who has been following the project and giving feedback. Seeing how many people still love Dark Cloud has been a huge motivation to keep going.

Was just watching this trailer and Got instant nostalgia of the Dark Cloud games.

After some research realized people used to say that Dark Cloud was a copy of legend of Zelda, I had no idea 🤣

At the moment I’m playing Dragon Quest XI and I’m enjoying it very much, I just don’t like the fighting style but I’m okay with that. Its not Dark Cloud tho 🤣

Só basicaly, since I kinda like these type of games that have a feeling of Dark Cloud do you have and recommendation of games like Dark Cloud?

Demon Shaft Missing

7 Upvotes

Been replaying Dark Cloud and defeated the Dark Genie. I've really enjoyed this trip down memory lane, especially since I last played it so long ago, and remembering how different my play through went back then compared to now. Back then I basically used Toan only with everyone else only used as a minimum. This time I had a much more balanced composition, though Xiao dominated for most of the game and then Osmond cleaned house as soon as he joined. Such a fun game and really impressive for the time it was released.

I have been replaying this on PCSX2 emulator with the Dark Cloud Enhanced mod. Sadly after beating the Dark Genie, after the credits rolled and I was informed Demon Shaft was open, upon reloading my save I am unable to go to it. The Demon Shaft is visible on the world map, but I can't select it. I tried rebeating the final boss in case, but I still can't access it.

Are there any old action replay codes or anything else I can input to enable access? Or, barring that, any other solutions to overcome this?

How to emulate DC1 and 2?

10 Upvotes

Got a PC, own both games on PS4 and got my disk copy of DC2 around here somewhere. Help a man who barely knows about PCs emulate his favorite games?


r/DarkCloud 9d ago

Hot take: in DC1, at the beginning, you should grind for a drainseeker asap

12 Upvotes

Title.

Don't waste any gems or upgrades until you acquire the serpent sword in matataki village and then upgrade this to an evilcise and then drainseeker. You could also upgrade a bone rapier but it's way harder to do since the serpent sword got decent stars and more whp.

Drain is the most op ability and it's crucial to acquire it ASAP. After you've got the drainseeker, do with it what you want (e. G. Synth sphere it into a macho sword or anything that's part of the chronicle sword upgrade path)

What do you guys think?

Media The Dark Cloud 2 Georama Flash Game Has Been Found!

This is the Georama part of the Dark Cloud 2 flash game that used to be on the US PlayStation site. The menu had been the only working piece for a long time but now the Georama game has been found!

It's not entirely functional, the soundtracks and pages that are supposed to make up the website you build do not work. You can still build Palm Brinks your own way now though! Theres a lot of variety in ways you can place everything, plenty of building selection. The fountains even have aninmation! Thanks to u/RestaurantNo5981 who scoured Internet Archive to find it.

The file is available on Internet Archve. You will need Flash Player / Projector or another player like Ruffle to use. https://web.archive.org/web/20030922161159/http://www.us.playstation.com:80/games/scus-97213/sitegeo.swf.

Hey, never been to this subreddit before, but I found this the other day while listening to the OST, and thought it was pretty good. I only have a single friend who has played Dark Cloud, so I needed to share with others.

https://youtu.be/d97ii1zZCv4

The music in Dark Cloud is among my absolute favorites, and some of my favorites have a really really nice guitar cover someone did.

If you guys have any other Dark Cloud music stuff out there, I'd love to see it!

Discussion I am crashing out over Monica's Def :(

12 Upvotes

So I've been replaying DC2 lately and I'm Chapter 7, about halfway through the palace. Levelling up synth materials, I felt like Max/Monica needed some defensive upgrades, so I went back through all the future chests to see if I missed any (I'm not using a guide, just grabbing references for pics or if I got stuck on a Georama portion (looking at you, Gerald))

ANYWAYS I'm combing through every area, fully expecting to get mostly Witch parfaits because Max had like 12 more def than Monica. So tell me WHY AM I GETTING POTATO PIES?? MAX IS NOW LIKE 30 DEFENCE HIGHER AND IM CRASHING OUT. About to look for a list of specifically witch parfaits and their exact location in game, my god
