Good RPGs for PS2 these days

[Rheiko]

hey guys,
do you have any suggestion about good RPGs for PS2?
i don't care whether it is a long or short game, what do i care is the story of it..
and of course 3d characters not 2d =.="

any suggestion will be appreciated

 

[Daffa]

Persona 3 FES & 4

Final Fantasy 10 and 12 (I liked 12, but lots of people don't)
Champions: Return to Arms
Baulders Gate: Dark Alliance
Bards Tale

Persona 3 FES & 4

i completed them both already

My favorite is Kingdom Hearts II with Ratchet and Clank III (aka Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal) as a close second.

That's not an rpg. Also the worst of the series imo.

FfXII
Pros: good story, no love interests, just patriotism
Gambit system, something like: battle ai programming
The visuals. because it's just ps2
Replay value. (Still haven't even fought the strongest boss)
Soundtrack. Nothing left to say
Wide monster variety. (It has something like the pokedex)

Cons: no love interest( whichever you prefer)
Armor visuals doesn't change( if you think that's a problem)
Can't think of others...

I haven't played the game "Okami", but it looks amazing. It might be one you'd wanna try. Here is a gameplay preview:

And my friend went nuts over Shadow of the Colossus. Try it.

Not sure if they are classified as "RPG's" persay (the RPG genre is kind of an ambiguous genre), but they fit the adventure/exploration/single-player action.

wow, it's cool

They still make games for the PS2 in the year 2013 when the PS4 has just come out?!

In any case, Final Fantasy 10 and 12 are about the best there is on it. If you are more young/desperate you can try Kingdom Hearts which was a pretty good action RPG according to many people.

 

[Rheiko]

i don't know, i hope they still do it though

 

[Dr Super Good]

Would be stupid for them seeing how they can make games for PC now and they will work on Xbox On, PS4, PC and whatever other devices one can think of.

Jak and Daxter, Jak II and Jak 3.

While neither strictly nor exactly RPG games, they're still among
the best games you'll find for the Ps2, in my opinion.

Fixed. And they are awesome.

Noticed you played through Persona 3 already, but I'm gonna recommend the Shin Megami Tensei series anyways. Persona 4 is supposed to kick ass at that.

There's also Odin Sphere I guess if you're into that.

Also I remember I liked Koudelka for PS but I never tried the sequel, Shadow Hearts, for PS2. Could be worth checking out.

 

[Rheiko]

Odin Sphere? what kind of game is it?

 

[chobibo]

I've tried playing Kingdom Hearts II, it's enjoyable when you're playing on hard mode, the normal mode is boring. I'm not saying I'm good, it's really that easy on normal.

 

[fladdermasken]

Odin Sphere? what kind of game is it?

Kind of a 2D fantasy action RPG that combines norse mythology with some cutesy pansy fairies.

 

[Gilles]

I totally forgot to mention Star Ocean. I haven't played it for the PS2, but I think it was supposed to be good. The old ones can be found as emulations. They are awesome.

 

[Adiktuz]

Persona 4
FFX,X-2 and XII
Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 (you might wanna play Re: Chain of memories too)
Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria
Drakengard
God of War I,II
Star Ocean for PS2
