Norune doesn’t seem to be on this version of the map, either - presumably because his home town was destroyed and replaced by that castle you see in the giant hole in the middle of the map.
Specifically, Alnet (the female in the hat) and the Old Gaffer (the old man labeled as “Jisama” in the video). The town on the left part of the map in the ocean appears to be Brownboo (which also appears in this video where the protagonist is falling in the water), however, for some reason, some of the villagers from Norune (the starting town in the final version) appear in the town, whereas in the final version only the rabbits are there. The port town of Queens doesn’t appear to be there either. For example, the Arabesque palace on the right side of the map never appears in the final game. There are also a few other changes such as NPCs appearing on the wrong map when we see the main character talking to them, but I’m putting that down to this being a demo, rather than it was intended for them to appear there. Some aspects of the game (such as the world map) I’m not entirely certain of thanks to not playing the game in a long time, but still, interesting to see what changes were made. Georama system looks almost identical in-game as it does in beta, though the volcanoes never made it in to the final product. Given that it’s just a large blank area, it might’ve been used for demonstration purposes only. The world map is pretty much the same, can’t see anything new aside from the floating island town area which I don’t recall being in the game. The ability to jump in and out of the water as seen around the 1:00 mark was removed. The magic carpet never appears in game as far as I’m aware. The main character, Toan, had a fair redesign between this demo and the final release.

The main character, Toan, had a fair redesign between this demo and the final release.At the Tokyo Game Show in 2000 a more complete demo was available far more similar to the final version.ĬallingCard noticed various differences in the early video: The world building parts where demonstrated in this version. This version focused on a character who needed to return a floating piece of land back to where it originally came from but its location had been replaced with an evil kingdom. In 1999, Sony had an early playable version of Dark Cloud at the Tokyo Game Show. However, many elements of the demo were not used in the release version of the game. When the PlayStation 2 was announced on March 2, 1999, Sony president and CEO Ken Kutaragi used a demo of Dark Cloud to showcase the capabilities of the platform. As we can read in Wikipedia, Dark Cloud was the first game of the Japanese developer Level-5, headed by designer Akihiro Hino. Dark Cloud is an Action RPG developed for the Playstation 2 by Level-5 and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 20 for Japan and American/PAL regions respectively.
