[@hydrogene]

The SNES Soundtrack of Dark Cloud is now available, please don't hesitate to check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2O3eKKsjadppLM

[@blobross4136]

To this day, still perhaps the most underrated series I've ever had the pleasure of discovering. The roguelike and city sim elements, along with the incredible weapon upgrade system, really make these games feel ahead of their time.

[@osanakoma366]

Nothing comes close, still to this day

[@zosonte129]

May these two games never be forgotten.

[@Hopscorch]

GUESS WHO IS COMING BACK TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING. AGAIN. THAT'S RIGHT

[@hydrogene]

Alright my friend, embark on the Blackstone once more! Hope you'll enjoy the travel :)

[@moneydog8480]

I Need DARK CLOUD 3 🥺

[@Dr.Slaughter]

Listened to this again, and I absolutely love all the Dark Cloud 1 references! It didn't go unnoticed! This was made with so much love!

[@timetotango9453]

I'd never imagine one day this would come up! You deserve a lot!!! Thanks

[@gamexpert1990]

HOW DID I FAIL TO FIND THIS SOONER?!?!

[@hydrogene]

I hope you will enjoy this musical adventure :)

[@SASUNiiCHAN]

Just found this through a friend! Thank you so much! It's also one of my all time favourite games. With it's great music, it'll forever be! I'd love to hear the tracks on spotify tho! Thank you so much for your effort!

[@Primeevi]

DC love ❤

[@bulskoo5441]

ah, that warmth in my chest. good friend, welcome.

[@Headspr0uter]

I keep coming back, and I'm always impressed at how some of the tracks I wouldn't have appreciated much before sound so good here. I find myself jamming out to fish on and fish race..

[@seer6251]

I did a legit double take when I saw the thumbnail, lol. This is badass!

[@hydrogene]

Haha yes, it's not Rock/Metal this time, thank you!

[@raziyatheseeker]

Lawl, PAL Version. What a great touch too.

[@Zenmasterslim]

It's scary how close some of these sound to the OG tracks. Superb job dude.

[@hydrogene]

Thank you! :)

[@Headspr0uter]

Underground Water Channel is groovy as hell in this. Well done!

[@hydrogene]

Thanks!

[@darkizu2693]

I loved it! You do incredible work here!

[@hydrogene]

Thanks a lot! This is without any doubt my biggest work

[@horizendreamer]

This came up in my recommendations as I was listening to the original DC2 ost. As someone who grew up with both Dark Cloud 1 and 2, I am both impressed and amazed! 100/10 ❤❤❤

[@hydrogene]

Thanks a ton! I'm super happy to know you like it, it was a lot of work!

[@SalutanisOrkonus]

Much better than I was expecting when clicking on this, very nice!!

[@hydrogene]

Happy you appreciate it!

[@Hopscorch]

I've been listening to this a lot over the past year. Through hardships or simpler moments like game development. You instill so much confidence that I can create things too just from your projects alone. To see this complete is still breathtaking, especially when I listen to the whole thing during a work day. It truly is awe-inspiring.

[@hydrogene]

Honestly, I wonder who is really giving motivation to whom! These words really touch me and motivate me a lot. Knowing that I was able to help even a little through my music fills me with joy. Thank you for taking the time to write me this message, I wish you to keep your motivation and your courage in your projects, I am sure you will succeed, I have absolutely no doubt about it!

[@nathandesilva4781]

I never expected I'd hear any kind of remake of the Dark Cloud 2 OST, but this is great! I can really feel the love and care you put into these, and i appreciate the nod to DC1 in the first song. :D

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much, it is indeed a work of passion! glad you like the easter eggs :)

[@DWFTW]

I was enjoying this, after having to click it recommended to me, but I'm glad you said it's very different to what you usually do, and mentioned somewhere in the comments what that was (or maybe that was on Dark Cloud 1's which I'm glad you linked in the comments), because now I just have so many Dark Cloud/Chronicle videos of yours open. These SNES ones are great, but 3 songs into the rock/metal ones and I already am really enjoying those. Can see having those on for, well maybe hours depending how many you have, so many tabs of them open now. Dark Cloud was I think my first PS2 game, has a very special place for me, and even all these years later I sometimes get some of the music in my head. Funnily enough though, I only ever played Dark Chronicle about 2 years ago, but I loved it. Even though so recent, just hearing the intro in this SNES form made me feel so nostalgic for it. I'll be digging through your backlog of videos to find more of these to open up and listen to for sure.

[@Diskyism]

Jesus Christ this slaps

[@Sarcastix7]

A masterpiece start to finish

[@hydrogene]

Thank you, happy you enjoyed it!

Now you Just Need of a Snes game Adaption ❤

[@colornegetive4917]

This is sick, thanks so much for making this.

[@DarkCloudCompendium]

You really did a good job with Stella Valley, tears in my eyes. Much love

[@hydrogene]

Thank you Hiddencastle, I'm super happy you appreciate it! Stella Valley is already a very good track from start, Tomohito Nishiura is really talented to put so much emotions in his musics

[@tecknowledjee6933]

Holy mother of all that is holy, this is a catJAM indeed. God Bless you for this

[@hydrogene]

Thanks a lot, it was a lot of work and I'm happy to know you enjoy it! :)

[@777Erf]

Wow this is pretty amazing.

[@hydrogene]

Thanks ;)

[@MantiszToboggan]

dr jaming is a banger

[@HannibalPoptart]

Aw man, just came across this and I LOVE how you interpreted each of these tracks. This must have taken FOREVER. I'm gonna have to add this to my coding playlist.

[@hydrogene]

Thank you, indeed it was very time consuming but I wanted to do this!

[@HannibalPoptart]

@hydrogene The hard work shows! Since you DID put in all that effort, have you considered clipping uploading the individual songs? It would be nice if I could add the tracks I regularly listen to on a playlist, but I get it if it'd be a hassle.

[@BunnyLover24]

I LOVE this!! Wow!! DC2 is one of my favorite games, this is SUCH a jam!!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you!

[@rachaelmarie754]

Sounds so good. This could make for a good music replacement mod for the game

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much! Could be awesome to see a mod with these musics, or better... a SNES demake game using these!

[@JavaSplice555]

Thank you for this ❤

[@Diskyism]

The underground water channel is my fav god damn - that back beat really suits

[@SierraGustafson]

The Ixion theme sounds like something ripped out of FFV for some reason.

[@Thats-What-We-Dewwwww]

Dude this is awesome, incredibly creative

[@hydrogene]

Thank you!

[@LexEllis]

Saw your reddit post, this deserves WAY more likes and views!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you! But I'm already happy with the recognition it has already received :)

[@raziyatheseeker]

Aaaaaaa, this makes me wish I played Dark Chronicle more than once in my life. But I can safely say I've replayed The Battle numerous times in a row, the first time I heard it. Wonderful job on all of these!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@LunarWingCloud]

I absolutely love Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle, it's solidly in my top 5 games of all time, and seeing someone took the time to do a SNES remix of the soundtrack is awesome

[@hydrogene]

It's literally my favorite game of all time! Thank you!

[@Shvvenny]

omggggggggg This is so amazing!!!!! balance valley will forever have my heart. Used to chill there and take naps because of how calming and majestic it is, thank you for making this!!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much, I'm happy you like it! Indeed, Balance Valley is such a calm track! I love both Balance Valley and Stella Valley

[@luanmarkos8507]

Trully an amazing work!! Is the song "Time is Changing" missing here? Or did I just not manage to find it?

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much! Unfortunately, this is the only track I haven't done :(

[@Hopscorch]

I found Black Knight Pendragon in Flame Demon Monster Gaspard!! Such a beautiful combination! I already told you how much I really appreciate this over and over, but everything about this video is insane. I know you had a lot of fun with this and I'm glad other people feel the same way about your work!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much for the kind words, I also hope the video will be well received, if so, I will probably do the same for Dark Cloud!

[@DemonClaus]

whoa!! gonna be listening to this while i'm gamedevin' for sure. didn't expect this soundtrack to translate so well to snes, you did an incredible job!!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you! Indeed, it was a lot of works, I hope you appreciate it, take your time! I also often listen to the original soundtrack while coding :)

[@brofistbro]

Brother. You Are AMAZING. Thank you for this!! These views are meaningful! No worries of that! The snes instruments work SO PERFECTLY! As if snes Zelda has a cousin!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much, I'm happy to see there are still people who remember this game!

[@AlphaPHK]

This is amazing. Neverending Adventure having part of Departure was pure genious and the Battle Theme honestly makes me think of Dark Cloud series as if it was a RPG like Chrono Trigger. Really cool! I'd honestly play the entire game with this version of the soundtrack without any problems! xD

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much, I'm super happy you enjoyed my hard work on those SNES arrangements! It took me a lot of time to make, but what people are saying about it, make me want to do the same with Dark Cloud! :)

[@TKumama]

Woah, this was fantastic! Thank you so much for making and sharing it!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you, it was a lot of work, I'm really happy people enjoy it! :)

[@FlameCheese]

Oh wow this is amazing. I was aware that you do Dark Cloud/Chronicle remixes but I had not seen this full soundtrack remix until now. I made a retro remix of the soundtrack of the first game, it is nice to see someone made one for the second game ^^ I saw a comment saying you will also do the same for the first game, looking forward to it!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you appreciate it! And yeah, the same thing with Dark Cloud soundtrack is in preparation :)

[@GMChipmunks]

a demake of Dark Cloud 2 would be truly amazing, just a pity that the rights are still in the hands of level 5, although I believe that a non-profit project could gain enormous popularity, if developed well, but maybe playing an unofficial demake using a super nintendo emulator or even better, directly creating a PC version could capture the attention of fans quite a bit

[@xaby996]

NICE

[@KasaiAisu1]

Incredible job, I especially like the faster pace you took with Gundorada Workshop.

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much!

[@elss_str]

Thank you very much! Happy you appreciate! :)

[@kaleajadesilver8918]

Imagine if it was like Sega Genesis sounding, lol. XD (Or Sonic 1-2/3D blast soundtracks as if they were on PS2 in sound!!) 👀

[@ShinxCookie]

I love this, thanks for making all these covers!

[@dragonknight1651]

This makes me want a demake of dark cloud 2

[@borfboo]

This is amazing! Thank you for making this!

[@SierraGustafson]

Are all of these songs made from different soundfonts of various games? Nice job, by the way. I hope you do the songs from the first game.

[@hydrogene]

The answer is simple: I'm not using Soundfonts! I wanted to offer the best sound quality I could :) And thank you, it's motivating! If more people want me to do the same for Dark Cloud, I'll do it!

[@SierraGustafson]

@@hydrogene Go for it.

You are Amazing

[@hydrogene]

Thanks for listening! :)

Maybe Max was right, beating people with a wrench before shooting them is meta combat. Monica should learn from her friend.

Pas besoin d’écouter plus de 45 secondes pour savoir que ça va être génial (je réécouterai plus tard, car là, je commence à minuit et demie, même si ton boulot est toujours génial, faut que je dorme X) sinon, je sens que ça va être génial de A à Z)

[@hydrogene]

Haha, pas de soucis, prends ton temps ! Il y a plus de 2h30 d'écoute, je me doute bien que personne ne va écouter tout ça d'une traite, j'espère que tu apprécieras, c'était énormément de boulot en tout cas !

[@D-structman]

Brilliant. Sounds great!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you, I'm glad you appreciate it!

[@Ixsarius]

This is amazing!!! I always love your Dark Chronicle music, and this is no exception!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you very much, I'm happy you like what I do, it's super motivating!

[@IncarnationOfNeutrality]

I feel the need to point out that the time stamp for Flower Garden is wrong, you set it a whole minute too early, might wanna fix that. Aside from that, this is really well done, and while I would love to partake in the little game of finding all 14 Dark Cloud 1 motifs I don't think I'd be willing to put in the effort

[@hydrogene]

It's fixed, thanks! Thank you, glad you like it, and don't worry if you don't want to participate finding the DC1 references, it's not mandatory!

[@IncarnationOfNeutrality]

@@hydrogene I know it's not mandatory I'm just saying I don't think I'd have the patience

[@alphatemp4395]

Genuine máster piece

[@hydrogene]

Thank you 🙏

[@ShosuCeladon]

Never knew I needed this in my life... I wonder what Chrono Trigger sounds like on a PS2 system? Edit after I listened to some of the soundtrack: Holy Mother of Enix! It's like the music of Final Fantasy and Act Raiser had a baby!

[@hydrogene]

Thank you, happy you like it!

[@ShosuCeladon]

@@hydrogene Dark Cloud 2 is a big deal for my sister and I. We both spent endless months playing that game. It's actually one of the biggest reasons why I love Dragon Quest IX.

Dance time the music to play at parties

[@labeleziatheque]

Salut à toi @Hydrogene ! Encore une fois c'est un travail réussi :D (Et surtout toute l'OST d'un coup !) Je suis content de voir que ta chaîne grandit avec le temps, c'est super ^^ ! Continue comme ça ! Et vu que j'ai sans trop de doute les réponses au chall je ne t'en donne que 3, histoire de laisser les autres jouer un peu ^^ Dans le battle theme de DC2 tu as celui de DC1, Dans Rainbow butterfly woods tu as Wise owl forest, Dans la Butterfly Dance tu as très probablement celui deThe Spirit King (si je ne confonds pas). Et je m'arrête là ^^

[@hydrogene]

Hello, je suis content de te voir passer par ici, ça fait plaisir ! Un grand merci pour tes encouragements 😃 Je te valide Rainbow Butterfly Woods et Butterfly Dance, bien vu ! Pour le Battle Theme, quelqu'un d'autre a été un peu plus rapide malheureusement, mais c'est un beau score déjà d'avoir pu les identifier parmi plus de 2h30 de musiques ! Aussi, c'est très fair play de ta part d'en laisser aux autres :)

[@labeleziatheque]

@@hydrogene C'est normal, il en faut pour tous ! :) Et GG à toi d'avoir mixé tout ça, rajouter ces easter egg ça a dû être un travail titanesque !

[@labeleziatheque]

Allez, un petit troisième pour remettre de l'entrain à tout ça : "Dark Genie Third Form/ King's Curse (Alternatif)" est présent dans Dark Element. ^^

[@hydrogene]

@@labeleziatheque Bien joué, Il était plutôt difficile à trouver celui-là !

[@labeleziatheque]

​@@hydrogene Ah, bah il en reste une que personne n'a trouvé ! Normalement il y a trois/quatre notes qui ne sont pas à la fin de Veniccio en original, si mon cerveau ne me joue pas de tours c'est les notes finales de Queens (DC1) mais tu as dû t'embêter pour les rentrer là car le rythme différent et la 16Bit(ification) ne donnent pas vraiment le même effet et un instant je croyais me tromper... J'ai même cru qu'il y en avait en fait quinze avec un "ajout" dans Death Ark entre 1:29:02 et 1:29:12 (des tonalités inexistantes dans l'orginal) mais je n'ai rien trouvé dans l'OST-ingame de DC1 et n'ai pas souvenir de l'y avoir entendu... ^^'. Du coup je me suis dit que tu t'étais juste éclaté à masterer cette petite partie qui rend d'ailleurs très bien ^^ Si c'est Queens je suis content, je les avais bien tous, pas d'Alzheimer en vue XD

Probably a bit obvious, but I can hear a part of Dark Cloud's battle theme in The Battle starting just at 19:50 aha

Indeed I've been doing some random stuff with the electric guitar in that one haha, but there's no DC1 reference here, sorry!

[@clementledreff1178]

Pour la référence numéro 8, est ce que ce serait "The ressurection of Norune" à 1:29:03 ? Mais pas sur du tout

[@hydrogene]

Perdu ! A cet endroit, c'est moi qui me suis amusé à faire n'importe quoi avec la guitare electrique :D J'ai fait la liste dans l'ordre chronologique d'apparition, ce qui signifie que la 8ème référence se trouve entre 43:00 et 1:36:00.

But this game was never on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, it was a Playstation 2 exclusive. EDIT - Oh, wait, I understand what you've tried to do now.
