    Why hasn't anyone mentioned Tales of Legendia and Tales of the Abyss? =(

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    FF X and XII are both must-have games if you like FF at all. You could also take a look at LotR: The Third Age, which is basically a FF-X rip-off in LotR wrapping.

    If you like mediveal rpgs, you could take a look at Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 + 2.

    Oh god no, Dark alliance is a stain on the original Baldur's gates for the PC.

    No. DA is a fun game. It's not trying to be Baldur's Gate, it's trying to be a Roguelike. And it succeeds.

    Because Tales of Legendia is god awful. :P But Tales of the Abyss is fantastic, so that gets my vote.

    Booooooo! Don't listen to him, Tales of Legendia is awesome. It's my second favorite Tales of game, right after Eternia.

    If you can manage with tactical RPG's (well a light tactical, this ain't no FF: T deep tactical game) then I suggest Arc the Lad series. They have a nice slew of characters, and interesting world concept (modern world mixed with fantasy, magic, and kingdoms) and a lovely story. If you can shell out the cash and find the Arc the Lad collection you'll wind up with 2 awesome RPGs (Arc the Lad 2 and 3) and one ok RPG (Arc the Lad the First) plus there's a squeal to them on the PS2 (Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits) although their all continuity based you can still enjoy the games in any order, it just gives a lot of nostalgia feelings if you play it in order.

    If you can deal with action RPG's then I suggest the .hack// series. Especially G.U. which did everything the first game series tried, and did it much better. It's a fairly fun game series, although each volume is a bit short if you play only for the story, but there's plenty of just random game things to do unrelated to story strewn about.

    Oh and as was mentioned earlier, Threads of Fate....get it....nao!!!!

    Persona 3 is far and away the best RPG on the PS2. Get the FES version, which is probably the only one you can get in stores right now.

    Next to that, Dragon Quest VIII. And, if you're lucky enought to be able to read Japanese and/or have a Japanese PS2, Tales of Symphonia. If you don't have such luck, Tales of the Abyss is a worthy second choice.
