The best RPG of the PS2 ... and why?

What's your personal best?

Mine is Persona 4, the characters were very very memorable. Second is FFX because of the scenery and music, and the emotions.

Digital Devil Saga 2

since its ps2 era KOTOR by far

FFX.

I love that game to no end. It got me hooked on RPGs in general and remains my favorite game of all-time. It makes me all warm and fuzzy just thinking about the first time I played it. Awesome, awesome game. I love Persona 4 as well. It's my 2nd favorite game of all-time and SMT is my favorite gaming franchise overall, but FFX takes the cake for sure.

Persona 3 and 4 both came out during this generation, not the last. And by "PS2 era" I assume you mean any platform during that time, so the only right answer is Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Not really. It came out less than a year ago, and even sooner than that in Europe. It's a current gen game that was released on a last gen console is all. Perhaps the topic title could benefit from an edit or something.

Yup, i always make this point (in fact, i just did in a thread a minute ago). A generation is defined by a time period, not console.

Anyway its FFX. Its also the best game of all time.

I loved FFX. It was very emotional and it was the first game I really felt strong emotion to through the cinematics and story.

KOTOR was released on the PS2????reaver-x

[QUOTE="reaver-x"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] thread title very clearly says "PS2 era"Danm_999

It honestly doesn't really matter because FFX is better than KOTR. Also I think it's a play on words because even though he said PS2 era he only listed PS2 titles which I believe means he was only talking about ps2 titles.

still dosent explain how KOTOR was part of the PS2 era when it was never released on the PS2. Ugh my head...it hurts....reaver-x

Because the PS2 era was 2000-2005. KOTOR was released during the period. That makes it part of the PS2 era (or time period) even if it wasn't on PS2.

Another example: You could say Switzerland was the luckiest European country of the WW2 era, even though it wasn't involved in WW2.

even though he said PS2 era he only listed PS2 titles which I believe means he was only talking about ps2 titles.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="reaver-x"] how that makes no sense. PS2 era means games that were a part of that system(like FFx, and persona 3/4) how can KOTOR be a part of that if it was never released on it. if anything it should be a part of the *Xbox Era* or *PC era* b/c it was released on those platforms. Your logic is really confusingreaver-x

I assumed you were trolling because you appear to be confused with very simple English.

Era:

1. a period of time marked by distinctive character, events, etc.: The use of steam for power marked the beginning of an era.

2. the period of time to which anything belongs or is to be assigned: She was born in the era of hansoms and gaslight.

3. a system of chronologic notation reckoned from a given date: The era of the Romans was based upon the time the city of Rome was founded.

4. a point of time from which succeeding years are numbered, as at the beginning of a system of chronology: Caesar died many years before our era.

5. a date or an event forming the beginning of any distinctive period: The year 1492 marks an era in world history.

'PS2 era' refers to a time period. Using the phrase in that context, the PS2 merely defines the time period, it does not define what systems can be considered. All games that fall into said time period, whether they're on PS2 or not, are in consideration.

Another example: You can say Bob Dylan was the best artist of the Beatles era, even though he wasn't a Beatle.

how am i trolling?? Im trying to make sense of this. Nothing i have stated resembles trolling in any way. Did i say KOTOR was a bad game? No. in fact its one of my favourite games ever But what im saying is it shouldnt be apart of the PS2 era b/c it was never release for it. Jesus...reaver-x

le sigh..

6th gen = PS2, Xbox, gamecube

PS2 is only a portion of the 6th gen so they dont really mean the same thing b/c of the other 2

i'd say FF 12, sure the storyline, characters and music weren't the best, but the gameplay was really the most satifying i played in years

still dosent explain how KOTOR was part of the PS2 era when it was never released on the PS2. Ugh my head...it hurts....reaver-x

Think of it like this;

RPGs released during the time the PS2 was out on the market.

As for me, the Personas. They completely snapped me out of my FF fanboy phase.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

I liked Final Fantasy X and Dark Cloud 2

[QUOTE="shutdown_202"]

Anyway its FFX. Its also the best game of all time.

Jandurin

Sometimes its Majoras Mask and sometimes its OOT. But today its FFX since i just saw a FFX AMV and its what im thinking of at the moment.

Sorry, you just cant argue with that.

System Wars.

By not having the argument, we'd be going against the nature of this site.

[spoiler] Just heard that your getting married. congratulations! man. I hope all things go well. Its only a matter of time for me too :D [/spoiler]

Persona 3/4 simply because it is addicting, has a lot of replay value and isn't easy. Plus it's turn based and both have interesting stories with good chracters and a great style. Plus it has a great soundtrack.

i voted final fantasy x but i prefer dragon quest: the journey of the cursed king

[QUOTE="reaver-x"] um PS2 was the *Last gen* so persona 4 is a part of the last gen erafoxhound_fox

A PS2 game is a last generation title regardless of its release. Just b/c Sony's machines tend to overlap doesn't meanlate in the generation PS2 games count towards this generation's games.
