And was wondering what people thought about the ones I own. Here's the list, with my opinions:

Dragon Quest 8 (BEST EVER)

FF12(EPIC)

Persona 3(EPIC)

Wild Arms: Alter Code F(EPIC)

Dark Cloud 2(EPIC)

Atleier Iris 1(Great)

Digimon World 4(good)

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (Meh.)

Rogue Galaxy(Great)

So, thoughts on my taste? And if you're gonna bash any of these games, at least back then up.

Well, it has great gameplay, a deep and cool story, great voice acting, likeable characters and the Persona/Shadow designs are awesome.

That's me, at least.

DQ8 and Persona 3 are two of my favorite games on the ps2. I'm not a big fan of star ocean. I like Dark cloud 2 alot and really enjoy rogue galaxy. FFXII is a good game but I couldn't really get into, maybe I'll pick it up again some day. I haven't playe dthe rest on your list though.

Wheres .hack 1-4, .hack GU 1-3, and Phantasy Star Universe 1-2?? I'd also much rather own FFX/X-2 than FF12. Oh yeah I would also get Kingdom Hearts 1-2 and Valkyrie Profile 2. And your missing some really killer tactical rpg's like Disgaea 1-2, Makai Kingdom, Phantom brave, Suikoden Tactics and Front Mission 4.



I would get rid of DQ8, Digimon 4, Atelier Iris, Persona 3.

From that, I assume you think they suck. Would you mind explaining why you dislike them?

I've been thinking of getting some SRPGs, actually. And I HAVE played GU 1, and it was good. FFX was great too, but I found FF12 to be better.

Abandon from all the active PS2 posters has to be the embodiment of bad taste, (I'm almost beginning to think he does it on purpose.) My advice is to take his recomendations and flame posts with a grain of salt.

Do try to pick up valkyrie profile: silmeria if you can, its a really great and refreshing RPG to a mostly stale genre

Rogue Galaxy is good not great, the reason is cuz the majority of the levels in all the worlds have too much unnecesary content within rooms and halls.

FFXII being epic is the only one I agree with.

Persona 3 is decent but I still prefer Nocturne over it. I would call Nocturne hardcore.

Games you should have in your RPG collection include...besides Nocturne...

1. Shadow Hearts Covenant

2. Tales of the Abyss

well this comes from my personal opinion but, the main character (Vaan) was lame (i did like Ashe though), gambit system wasnt that great, license system wasnt all that great, the storyline wasnt all that great ect. im already bored of it, it gets boring fast for an rpg and im only at that ice mountain place.

Hmm I really like FFXII alot even though I've barley played it. To me it's like a mini movie, alot of cutscenes and what nots.

Dragonquest I've never played...Persona I've heard is really good but never got the chance to play it. I only liked the first Wild Arms for PS1. Darkcloud Games are really fun, I like the way they did them. Altier Irs 1 never heard? Digimon World 4 never played and don't plan on it. I only like the Second Story star ocean so far none of the others has not impressed me once. Rogue Galaxy, I'm getting after I get SSBB, the movies I've seen look really cool.

Those are my opinions for those. Remeber there just opinions so don't get mad me. You should really try more rpgs. I'm getting some of my old RPGs for the PS1 back from my brother. FF7-10, FF tatics, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 and more that I can't really name right now sense I'm tired.

"I would get rid of DQ8, Digimon 4, Atelier Iris, Persona 3."

"From that, I assume you think they suck. Would you mind explaining why you dislike them?"

DQ8 sucks because the combat is the same boring crap they used 20 years ago!! The characters are stupid and cartoony. You can tell DQ8 was MADE to be an anime series in japan. I dont like the story either. I have not liked DQ's since the NES days.

Digimon 4 was alright but its not the best digimon game. DW:DS and DW:dawn/dusk for DS are WICKED. And if you want to play a digimon on ps2 the most awesome one was DW2. That game is freaking awesome and still sells for alot on ebay. I wish i owned it.

Atelier Iris is just bland average crap, it has no depth or engaging combat systems. Its just a boring #$^ 2d hack'n'slash. If you want to play those buy a NES and look up the classics.

P3 is just a stupid japanese game. A hidden hour where everyone turns into coffins except a few people with multiple personality disorders? lol. How in the hell is that cool or interesting. The game is alright, the combat is ok, leveling up and squishing persona's is kinda fun but it is nothing special. People go ape crap over being able to talk to people around campus and how it makes your bond with your persona's stronger. Wow....im so impressed.

Play those games if you have to but no way do they deserve to be owned. Your never going to replay them and if you do your missing out on the really awesome games that you should have been playing in the first place.

I'm currently playing Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria and Grim Grimoire. Valkyrie Profile 2 is a must. sometimes you forget that you're playing a PS2 game. Out of battle it feels so much like an old pre-rendered graphics PSX Squaresoft game, but in a good way, and with enough variation from the former to bar it from being stale. Grim Grimoire is equally interesting (and exceptionally odd gameplay wise).

I don't like turn-based. Rogue Galaxy is the only real-time RPG in the TC's list that I already played. I can't find Dark Cloud 2 and Star Ocean Till the End of Time here in my country. :(

Dragon Quest 8 --------> Haven't played it yet

FF12 ---------> Awesome and innovative game. The worst storyline and main character ever.

Persona 3 -------> Totally meh. It bored me to death.

Wild Arms: Alter Code F -------> I only own WA 5, and I think it is a good standar RPG, nothing to be stunned.

Dark Cloud 2 ------> I SO want to play this.

Atleier Iris 1 ---------> I own the 4th, and it was my first RPG on the PS2, so I won't crappy it, but it wasn't amazing.

Digimon World 4 -----> I found it funnier in the GC, only because of the 4 player possibility.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time ----------> Haven't played yet.

Rogue Galaxy ------> Same here

EXTRAS:

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria ---------> Most beautiful RPG in the PS2. Love it.

FFX: Standar old school FF game. Nothing to be impressed about.

Disgaea 2 -----> Fun, but extremely odd.
