Dark Cloud was a lot of fun to me, but I made it to the final boss and quit because I had gone through the whole game with Xiao, so all my other characters had horrible weapons and I never had the patience to level them up high enough to beat it. It did get a little repetitive after a while, too, but I really enjoyed making the villages over again, and I think that's a great concept that should be carried over to other games sometimes. I only made it out of the sewers on number 2 before I found a different game and quit, though, so I'm planning on maybe going back to it soon.
