One of my favorite games I have ever played. It's a long RPG with plenty of nuances and differences from typical RPG's, but has the same familiar flavor. The story is long and amazing, the gameplay may be a little dated now, but it makes up for it with all sorts of extra content: village building mechanics, mini game golfing, and monster capturing and training. I always pray the developer Level-5 will release Dark Cloud 3, but I'm glad I have played through 2 plenty if times.
