It's time Level-5 acknowledge their fans want Dark Cloud 3 once and for all!!!!! January 22-25th 2013
This January from the 22nd to the 25th Level-5 is releasing Wrath of the White Witch in North America and Europe. Many fans of Level-5 for many years have been craving for a Dark Cloud 3 or at least a Dark Cloud HD collection rerelease for PS3. On the release days of the Wrath of the White Witch fans of the Dark Cloud franchise should once and for all send the message to the company that there is still interest in the title or at least a HD collection of the classic titles. If we unite together on these days in 2013 it will at least leave no excuse that no interest has been shown for development of the game.
It's important that this planned and not rushed into. Posting this it is currently December and we are deciding to take action in January 2013 when Wrath of the White Witch is released. So please do not start spamming Level-5 until the date mentioned earlier. For now look below the ways to start getting involved and ready for January. Raise awareness, know friends online or in real life who loved the game, get them involved. Yes it's an old game but if you were truly a fan of the game and you remember how truly underrated and special of an RPG it was you should be willing to do this. Thank you
But how are we going to do that????
1) The best way for Dark Cloud fans to communicate is via facebook. Forums from my experience do not notify when someone responds.
If you have a facebook account please join the following group
http://www.facebook.com/groups/332543258075/
Or search Dark Cloud 3.
I say group instead of pages because groups are more effective as a form of communication whilst pages are more useful news updates. The group has the following image for reference when searching:
And don't forget to like the Level-5 official page and send them a message

A screenshot of the Facebook page for the official Level-5 American Website, where the red circle is is where you can message them!
2) Twitter
This is perhaps the best way because we can start to get a trend going. However we are also hoping to get people to post a photo of themselves holding a copy of the dark cloud or dark cloud 2 game. This shows proof we still love and cherish the games and doesn't make it seem like pointless spam. When doing the trend place the hastag #darkcloud3 and make sure to @ at the following people from Level-5. They do not use twitter that much so you have to @ them!

3) EmailLots of people have already emailed Level-5 about their desire for a sequel to Dark Cloud 3 and never receive a response. But it doesn't hurt sending one to show there is still interest in January 2013.

The screen you should see for the american website when contacting them
4) Fan art, letters and photos of holding the dark cloud merchandise, cosplay photos, video game, guides etc...
If you have fan art, post it to the facebook group mentioned earlier or send it to me via twitter. If you did a cosplay of one of the characters from the game, still have a copy of the video game GET A CAMERA AND TAKE A PHOTO!!!! It's all well saying to Level-5 we want a game but we need to show we're not a spammers but people who actually genuinely loved the treasure they made with proof. Having an actual copy you bought, a video game guide, a cosplay you made inspired by their game .
Some examples of what I mean are shown to the left. Cosplay photo of Dark Cloud 2 is credited and belongs to sesshouga. Deviant art page where image can be found is http://sesshouga.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Cloud-2-Here-for-You-136045469
Fan art of Dark Cloud 1 belongs and credited to Neko-Krys. Deviant art page where image can be found is http://neko-krys.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Cloud-Toan-Xiao-Goro-217490574
Now there's no excuse for you or Level-5 for that matter!
You have the tools before you, the resources, the ideas also we're open to new ideas too. After January 2013 I will have done my part officially for being a Dark Cloud fan. For those of you who think it's too late all I have to say is that there is nothing to lose. This game series was so underrated and left in the shadow by many competing RPG series when it had so much more to offer. To get Level-5 to consider even a HD rerelease and relive the magic again is something worth fighting for. Thank you for your time. If you need to contact me for ideas or anything to do with this project please do not hesitate to send a tweet to my twitter page link is below.

Hey man, this was an excellent post by yourself and was a real expression of how you envisioned a Dark Cloud 3. Absolutely astonishing.
ReplyDeleteThere exists a group event on Facebook entitled the 'Dark Cloud 3 Revolution', which is simply doing what you detailed above. However, the trick regarding the Revolution is that all its attendants (167 so far) will all send the messages on one particular day at the same time, effectively swarming the pages above. Hopefully, using this plausible tactic, we should be able to attract Level-5's attention.
The group is open to all and everyone that possesses a Facebook account and greatly appreciates anyone joining. You can also find out more information by joining the 'Operation Atla' group on Facebook and on the event's page itself. The attendant's roles within the group event is very simple: all you have to do is send a message alongside everyone else that joined the group.
If you are part of the Revolution, then this is all kinda pointless (lol).
But there are a lot of people within the Dark Cloud 3 group that you specified (I'm part of it too) that haven't yet joined the event, and the 24th March is drawing ever closer. So remember, by all means, if there's anyone else you can invite, then it'll be fabulous if you could do so. :D
Thank you very much again for this post: a superb read and a good way of spreading awareness for this amazing RPG classic. :D
