Same as the other two threads: What are the best RPG's on the PS2 in your opinion? Add why if you want to. No limit, and doesn't have to be exclusive to the PS2, it just has to be playable on the PS2.
Best PS2 RPGs
Same as the other two threads: What are the best RPG's on the PS2 in your opinion? Add why if you want to. No limit, and doesn't have to be exclusive to the PS2, it just has to be playable on the PS2.
Here are the ones I've played
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII
Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits
Dragon Quest VIII
Legaia 2: Duel Saga
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts II
9 hours of Persona 3
A little bit of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
I haven't played much and still not finishing Persona 3 hurts, but I say that Final Fantasy XII and Dragon Quest VIII are the best ones. The others I listed aren't bad, but I think these two are just so well polished that they exceed the others. I think I would have liked Persona 3 a lot too, but unfortunately my PS2 died and I never got another chance to finish it. Baldur's Gate I played was owned by someone else and I'm not exactly sure what happened there, but I never really got to play it like I should have.

I see our tastes are very similar, LaddyOriginally Posted by Laddy
While I've not played a lot of those, I know BoF: DQ, DQ VIII, FFXII, Grandia II, the Kingdom Hearts games and the Personas are definitely fanstastic choices. Also throwing in Digital Devil Saga to the mix.
FF X
FFXII
Dark Cloud.
havent played much. hmm... was baten kaitos on the ps2? idk
Both Baten Kaitos'es were Gamecube-exclusive, yes.
Let's see, for me:
Suikoden III/V
Tles of the Abyss
Dark Cloud 1/2
Final Fantasy X/X-2/XII
Xenosaga ep. I/III

Oh damn, I forgot about the Kingdom Hearts games. Yeah Kingdom Hearts II needs to be acknowledged. It's a step down in some cases from the first, but it improves a lot on the combat. Haven't played those in a while either.
Let's see...
Final Fantasy XII
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter
Persona 3: FES
Suikoden III and V
Xenosaga Episode 1 and 3
Honorable Mentions include: Suikoden IV, Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army, Persona 4, Kingdom Hearts 1, MMX: Command Missions, and Metal Saga
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I wish there were easier ways to emulate PS2 games in portable fashion because I missed a lot of these. I really only played the big ticket SE franchises during this period, but KH, DQVIII, and FFX were all very good.

Yeah, I missed a lot that generation as well. Fortunately, my girlfriend feels a lot like me and we are both committed to bolstering our old PS2 collection. And now the Shadow Hearts games, Suikoden 3 and 5, as well as Wild Arms 3 are in our collection. We even found a second PS2 so that we can both have the itch at the same time and I just play mine in the bedroom. And currently reusing it to finally appreciate FFXII since I didn't properly give it a chance originally and it's just been sitting on my shelf for almost a decade. She also introduced me to Tales of the Abyss, which is a worthwhile game. Far enough after the 3D switch to not feel as slow and clunky as Symphonia. But its been a while since I played the original Symphonia, and the PS3 one leaves a lot to be desired
