Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box Ending 

It's been over 10 years and I STILL GET THE FEELS

Jesus Christ I forgot how bittersweet the ending is, a cried when I first played this game

Did I know this would make me cry if I watched it? Yes. Did I do it anyway? YEP.

“One bright spot in this sad story, and that is our lovely granddaughter, Katia.” So their daughter wasn’t a bright spot?

If it makes you laugh and stop crying, I spent about 5 minutes blowing into my 2ds's microphone just to realize my headphones had one and I had to blow on THAT one

I remember watching my older brother playing this game years ago. I tried to play it too, but I was very young and so didn't really understand the puzzles. So I watched him instead, and we were so excited when we got to the end. Our excitement changed to sadness though. A happy sadness almost. It was years ago, now. If only we got on as well now as we did then.

its been about 13 years and im still crying man, this is to beautiful and tragic

Thank you for uploading this. This is really a great game. I always cry when I watch the ending.

"Oh I get what Katia's involvement is. She's actually Sophia!" "Wait, Anton is in love with his own granddaughter?" "Oh I get it. Katia is not actually Sophia!"

Sophia actually spent her last days holed up in her room writing. Like it's tragic how when she finally did find what she was searching after for 50 years, she was already on her deathbed.

It bugs me how Sophia didn't tell Anton anything about his daughter in the letter. She admits that she left to protect their baby, but she doesn't even bother to tell Anton what she named said baby. She refers to their child only as "Katia's Mother" and says she died shortly after Katia was born... That means that Katia can't even tell Anton about his daughter because she doesn't remember much about her. That just seriously bugs me.

Thank you so much for the great recording! I was crying at the ending and then I cried even more that I couldn't do the last puzzle on my DS because the microphone was broken :c

5:22 It seems like a translation error. It sounds as if the town weren't even inhabited. In JP version he said "The town, and the people, and whatever we see is a world fancified by the illusion"

This game series will forever be in my heart

Bro I got some hallucinogenic gas in my eye 😢😭😭

Omg I played this like 10 years ago and I remembered it from nowhere today

When I played for the first time I cried like a baby. All these years later I still do. This is why Diabolical Box is my favorite of the Original Layton trilogy.

I wish we actually got to see who Katias mom was

Saddest shit I've ever seen goddamn it the tears don't stop

I won't cry... It's been 10 years, i won't cry... *intense sobbing*

Played this game multiple times and still cry every time!

I'M CRYING AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT IT

"With her around, I could never forget about you, even if I wanted to."

10 years ago I was so SHOCKED by this ending i puked

Such a good game Nice memories

God Luke sounds so high in the American version.

This game is one of my favourite things to ever exist so many memories. Love this series.

I remember not saving after this cutscene just to watch it over and over again, sob. the story was so sad.

The sword fight was SO GOOD I still come back to watch it sometimes

Man, It's been a long time since I last Saw this, damn... The feels, not many games makes me cry, so sad that we might not have another game like the main series.

Shit still makes me cry everytime

The mic on my DS was acting up when I did the box puzzle, but luckily I solved it! It was such a unique feature, that unfortunately most DS games don't use that often. Cooking mama used the mic feature and I think one of the Mario and sonic games did, I just wish there was more games that used it

I really feel it’s a shame that we never really get to see Sophia in the game apart from the short scene at the end of the game when she’s in heaven and the bit in the past when Sophia and Anton were talking about her leaving and that Anton thought that she had left him for another and it’s sad that she had passed away by time Anton had received the letter from her in the box and that he never got to see the love of his life again and that we don’t get to see Katia’s mother either and it’s a real shame that she died shortly after Katia was born but I like how there was the loving relationship with Sophia and her granddaughter and that Anton loves Katia too and it feels similar to a mother and daughter relationship with Sophia and Katia which is really adorable too to hear about from Sophia’s letter too and the fondness and love she had for Katia too though it’s sad that since Folsense became stuck and that time had really just stood still from 50 years ago at the time of Layton and Luke’s time at the time when the story in the game takes place and it seems that from 50 years ago Sophia had been searching for the box herself ever since then but I feel sorry very much for Anton because he had given the box to a traveller passing through town to deliver the box to Sophia many years ago and it must have been always a hope with Anton that Sophia would eventually find the box again and it would eventually be delivered to her from Anton but that by time Sophia received the box and the letter inside from him she was dying then and that she wrote it a short while before she passed away but by then when Anton received the letter she had passed.

A masterpiece.

i still cry every time

22:40 The best part of the credits You're welcome

It would be interesting to hear how Anton and Sophia first met and I’m assuming I’m guessing that they both first met in Folsense or at Herzen Castle perhaps if Anton held a ballroom dance there or if Duke Herzen held a ballroom dance there and it’s not mentioned in the game whether Duke Herzen was married or not and his family history before then isn’t mentioned and talked about only that he was the father of his two sons Anton and Mr Beluga and I’m guessing that Anton and Sophia’s first meeting with each other could have been similar to the ballroom dance or maybe it was the same ballroom dance scene with Layton and Luke had when they were sleeping in the Castle and that could have been Anton and Sophia first meeting but then Layton and Luke somehow end up in that picture and in that memory from 50 years ago I think too.

genuinely feels weird to not have the DS audio compression while watching this, but it is a _good_ sort of weird.

Was I the only one upset as a kid we didn’t see their daughter. Like not even a hint 😔

Even in English, this ending makes me cry !

I never knew layton knew how to fight with a sword.

this should've been the 2nd best sold game instead of curious village

However, I don’t know if the diary entries in the game include any information on how Anton and Sophia first met each other and fell in love if they had a positive loving relationship with each other because from what I know they did and I’ve never read the diary entries really I was concentrated a lot on the puzzles and the story mainly than the mini games when I’ve played the game before in the past.

Is it just me or does katia throughout the whole story since Layton and Luke met her at dropstone train station She’s always just acting really creepily around them just coming slowly into conversations and when they try to get the truth out of her she always like “I cannot say I’m afraid there’s no time anymore” something like that And it’s like at the beginning of the ending she’s just creepily standing at the top like she’s waiting for Layton and Luke and she’s just like we have to get out the castle and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Just dilly dallying on the way.

I really loved this ending but yes the reason being hallucinogenic gas out of nowhere was a little silly and jarring and I understand the people who did not like it. Multiple consoles and years removed from this game, the compressed audio sounds bad. It seems very unlikely that they will keep making professor layton games but I would appreciate a remaster of the first 3 games on switch

... I'm not crying, you're crying !!! >:'C

This make me sad euhe7h7ehe

I highly recommend you to listen to the credit song in Japanese (with lyrics!) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s9J2ZDYfLK0.html
