Dark Cloud/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Any enemy in ''Cloud'' with unblockable attacks that knocked you down. Arthurs, Crescent Barons, the Golem's [[Palette Swap|model swaps]]...

* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: That stupid dream stairway that comes between the second-to-last final boss and the final boss in ''Dark Chronicle''. Fortunately, with properly leveled up weapons, it shouldn't take long. Still, it pretty much stalls what was up until then a ''very'' intense climax in the game.

* [[Goddamned Bats]]: The dragon enemies that shoot fireballs from a distance, and tackle you when close, causing Stop status. Also, in 2, the ''literal'' goddamned bats...at least when you are required to use your melee weapon on them or Item attacks.

* [[Les Yay]]: In ''Chronicle'', if Monica talks to Claire before she joins the party, Claire sort of crushes on her.

** ''Dark Cloud'' is only a minor example with the city building (and there's not really much to do with it after you get 100% for that town) and fishing.

** ''Dark Chronicle'' takes it [[Up to Eleven]] by adding more freedom to the city building (you can make tons of items to decorate the houses or the areas around them, you can move in more people even after getting 100% completion if you want, etc.), adding more depth to the fishing (leveling up your fishing poles, and a fishing contest that gives prizes for the largest fish), an aquarium where you can feed and breed your fish to prepare them for the Fish Race, a golf-like mini-game (Spheda) that can net you some awesome prizes on some floors, medal collecting, photography, and [[Item Crafting]].

* [[That One Boss]]: LA SAIA, YOU BITCH!

* [[That One Sidequest]]: Use "Items Only" to defeat enemies. Especially when the level is populated with high-flying [[Goddamn Bats]], and items are ''expensive''.

** Monica can become this in the second game. Max may be much slower than Monica, but he can take enemies out in three hits, whereas Monica can take them out in one or two combos. Did we also mention that Max gets a weapon that can carry him through the game with its evolutions, and is strong to start out with, whereas Monica's ranged attack is [[Cherry Tapping]] unless you have the patience of a saint and build it up? Plus, [[M Ax]] has access to the ridepod which is much better than Monster Transformation, and you're required to use the Ridepod way more than Monster Transformation.

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Arguably Seda in the first game; very, ''very'' specifically Sirus and Gaspard in the second.
