Agree with most on the list, especially Final Fantasy XII and Dragon Quest VIII, both very fine games (although I still haven't found the time to finish both of them :?). Don't really have a favourite RPG for the system, as none have been able to affect me like FFIX did. But, there are some RPG's worth mentioning:
Dark Cloud - Part RPG, part Sim City; a great little game full of dungeon crawling and re-building villages. Has a sequel, Dark Chronicle, but it tried to do TOO much in my opinion. Although, if you liked DC, may as well pick up DC2 as well.
Disgaea 2 - More of a strategy RPG, which involves playing your characters like chess pieces on a battle field. Absorbing battle system, some great characters, infectious humour and exploding penguins. Is quite difficult at time though.
Jade Cocoon 2 - bit strange in places, but the gameplay (especially the battle system) is both tactical and simple and all in all, a decent RPG. Also, looks purdy. :)
Still mean to buy Rogue Galaxy and Star Ocean before I put my PS2 to pasture and get myself a PS3, would anyone here recommend these two or should I give them a miss?
