Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) is one of the worst JRPG's I have ever played

...So I'm not the only who got bored looking at it?

At least 3 of my roomates have dumped 200 hours into the game. Each. Mainly grinding for uber-powered ingredients and such.

And the menu...OMG it's such a mess.

And that one battle song...that resets every 5 seconds because they kill things so quickly...ARGH

And then they don't deploy any strategy on a boss!
Me: "Shouldn't you use Max on that flying boss? I mean, Monica can't reach with her sword right?"
"B-b-but I hate Max."
Me: "...but Monica can't reach, and the boss interrupts her spells."
"B-b-but I hate Max."
*10 minutes of doing nothing, getting shot and healing later*
"ARGH I'll switch to Max then!"
*30 seconds later, dead boss*
"I hate Max." *switches to Monica*
Me: *facepalm*

From reading what you just wrote, everyone who is a real gamer, should freakin' know how great the game is. It's like, you proved my case for me.

 

You guys are like outsiders peeking at others greatness. FYI, the game is spectacular. Your problem is obvious, because a lot of n00bs have it. You didn't understand the complexities of the building system in the game, and weren't interested, so it turned you off. That's why I highly suggest strategy guides with this game, just like with Final Fantasy XII, to gain the most from your experience, and give you through one of the most complex and interesting games out for the PS2.
