Favorite ps2 RPGs?

Before this starts, I'd like to ask people keep flaming/trolling to a minimum. Now then, here're my favs:

Dragon Quest 8: This is argueably the greatest rpg of it's time. Cool story, great characters, amazing voices, and the alchemy/monster Arena were nice touches.

Dark Cloud 2: Such an improvement over DC1, it's not even funny. Better storyline, NO FREAKING WATER SYSTEM, MUCH better combat (no more permanently broken weapons), the 'randomized' dungeons were easier to handle and the characters were likeable.

Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana: This one is just plain fun. Cute design, good characters (especially Delsus and Arlon), nice story, and the music is great. The battles were also pretty good.

Persona 3: Great and deep storyline, great characters, cool Persona/school/ battle systems....need I say more?

FF12: In my OPINION, this is probably the best FF game. The gambit system is awesome, the characters are great (Balthier ftw), the graphics were superb and the monster designs were cool. The only negative side is that the story is, well...kinda bland in some areas. :/

Again, this are strictly my OPINIONS.

DQ8!!!

Totaly awsome and i was realy suprised when everyone had realy strong british accents. LoL!!!

Final Fantasy 12 and Kingdom hearts..Well actually i haven tried any other RPG..:)

for me DQ8 was a little clumsy... i wasnt able to finish the game... the battle system was a bit slow... its the first rpg that i dont finish ever!!!!

I say FF12 i reallly really really love the game... ot rocks

I've only played FFXII, FFVII and KH. I don't mind KH but FFXII would definately be my favourite. I want to try and hunt down FFX though. People say its better than XII.

Mine would be

-Kingdom Hearts (I'd agree with a lot of the criticisms of the game but I still loved every minute of it)
-FFX (doesn't quite stack up to pre-PS2 FF games imo but is still epic)
-Suikoden III (Just liked everything about it, from the story to characters to music to the battles... had a great time with this game)
-Persona 3 (It was kind of on the repetitive side but it didn't make a big difference to me in the end. It probably had one of my favorite casts of characters in any game)
-Valkyrie Profile 2 (The story is a bit of a mess and the characters are just ok imo, but everything else is at a very high level of quality, and I feel if they would have hit all the right notes with the story that it would have been one of the better RPGs ever made. I love the artwork in this game)

I'll throw Dark Cloud 2 in there too -- it went on a bit too long imo but was tons of fun to play, especially building towns and creating items.

FF12

Dark cloud 2/Dark chronicle (here in the uk)

Persona3 (wierd but cool)

Kingdome Hearts 1

Kingdome Hearts 2

FINAL FANTASY XII

Xenosaga III

Disgaea 2

Final Fantasy X

I have almost all RPGs on the PS2 and it is a tough job picking one out.

Xenosaga series for the superb plot
Rogue Galaxy and Dark Cloud 2 for action-RPGs done right.
Kingdom Hearts series for... Disney!
Shadow Hearts series for quirky humor and great battle system.
Suikoden for the sheer numbers of characters and combinations you can pull off.
Grimgrimoire and Oding Sphere for a fresh take on the genre.
Shin Megami Tensei for the added challenge and occult settings.
Growlanser, Stella Deus, anything NIS for good old SRPGs.
Dragon Quest VIII for old school gaming with a fresh coat of paint.
Grandia III for one of the best battle systems. period.
Valkyrie Profile 2 for the best use of mythology and history in a game (Okami aside)
Star Ocean 3 for the invention system.

Can't attest for all Tales series since I only played one of them, but it has fairly good mechanics under the hood.

There are quite a few I missed out so this it gets better still! Arguably the weakest link in our RPG goodness this generation is surprisingly Final Fantasy, while all were superb games in their own right, they don't surpass some of those mentioned above.

FF12 and Kingdom Hearts 2

-Disgaea Hour of Darkness

-Kingdom Hearts 2

-Dark Cloud 2

-Dot Hack GU

Those are the rpgs i have spent most my time on.

Oh, and I forgot another fav.

The Wild Arms series: I've played 1-3, and Alter Code F, and they rule. The story is great, the characters are always likeable, and the gameplay's easy to pick up.

In no particular order: Final Fantasy X, Dragon Quest VIII, Persona 3 and Final Fantasy XII

i still have yet to play Dark Cloud 1 and 2, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Suikoden games, Xenosaga games, Rogue Galaxy, Shadow Hearts, Shin Megami Tensei games, and a lot of other RPGs for the PS2 that look great... in other words i wont buy a 7th generation console for a long time, i still have a lot of long ps2 games to play
