Well, it's May 2005. I haven't heard hide nor hair of Dark Cloud 3 since early last year, and I can't find any other info on it after a few quick searches (heck, I don't even know where Level 5's website is). Anyone know anything about DC3? Elemental Knight 15:44, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Apperantly it was just said in an interview and no official annoucement has been made, I've adjusted the article accordingly. Clearly Diluted 01:31, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ridiculous factual check requests

Why are there superfluous fact check requests in this article? You've got them in areas of the game play description -- how exactly is one supposed to source such things? Furthermore, these game play elements that supposedly need fact checking are obvious to anyone that's actually played the game. I'm removing them unless someone can provide me with a decent argument as to why they should be there, because I honestly don't feel they need to be there. If you're going to randomly throw around [citation needed] tags in this article, then every video game article that talks about the game play needs citations, as well. --Serph (talk) 06:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Evidence for Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle as a True Sequel

Planetary observations: The world has two moons, one yellow (Yellow Drops), one blue. The original Dark Cloud is told as a story that already happened on a world with two moons.

Repeat races: many monsters, Humans, and Moon People.

Template:Spoiler

Repeat Characters: Jurak (Tree Fairy), Masterutan and . . . .

The Dark Genie (much weaker than in the original: I guess hate isn't as strong in Dark Cloud 2)

Repeat Themes: varying levels of technology dependent on location, giant Mecha, main villain messes up time, assumed main villain creates the "real" main villain.

Blatantly obvious stuff: One of Monica's weapons - reference to Aga, Toan's "missing" father from DC1, who was also a great swordsman.

Template:Endspoiler

Conclusion: It's the same planet, a few thousand years after Toan and his partners defeated the Dark Genie.

However, it is noted at the point in Dark Chronicle where Monica and Max travel 10,000 years into the past and first encounter Griffon... that there is only a single moon in orbit. So this point in the timeline must have occured sometime before the events with Toan and the others in Dark Cloud. --InvaderJim42 15:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
That's a good observation. Bear Eagleson
Your "points" do not really mean anything. Unless Level-5 outright says it's a sequel, I'm inclined NOT to believe it's a sequel. Furthermore, games like Final Fantasy feature references to previous games, but they're not direct sequels to each other. Saying it's a direct sequel is just fan speculation. --Serph 23:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Typed Up a New Longer Plot Summary

Alright everyone, I gave it my best attempt to type up a longer and fuller plot summary. Please feel free to look it over and make any necessary edits which I may have missed.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 03:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Isn't the boss of Final Fantasy III called Dark Cloud?

Because people may be looking for that. Sir Crazyswordsman 01:45, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

What exactly is your point? --Serph 23:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is there any good walkthrough or guides on this site for this game?

I'm just wondering thats all.--ShakenMike2 20:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't allow that sort of content. Try http://www.gamefaqs if you need help with games. Oni no Akuma 09:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Settle on a region.

People keep switching "Norune" to "Nolun", which is the name of Norune Village in the PAL version. We need to settle on a region. I believe we should just use the North American name of the village. Additionally, the name of the village in the Japanese version is "Norn" (you can see the name on the large sign in front of the village). I'm going to revert all instances of "Nolun" back to "Norune", but make note of the name differences in name according to region. If anyone has any problems with this, respond. --Serph 07:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, I feel someone should write a compressed version of the Story section -- it really shouldn't be that long. I'd do it myself, but it's been years since I played the game. --Serph 08:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery of Time Fix

The old article said that the back room key to the Gallery of Time did not exist in the American version, but several reliable sources have found it since then. Has anyone found it personally, to verify further? Master Jaken 23:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] King Raybrandt

Removed the bit saying Seda made a cameo in Dark Chronicle. I don't think it can be proved they're one in the same.

[edit] Link?

Does anyone not find it a little disturbing that the character in the cover features an amazing resemblance to Link from Zelda? Except Link does not grin... 189.27.3.140 (talk) 07:38, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

They look nothing alike, also, what exactly does this have to do with the article? This isn't a message board or a journal. --Serph (talk) 06:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
