I wouldn't consider FFX a must buy, and FFX-2 was pure rubbish as a game goes. Kingdom Heart is also pretty low key as far as JRPGs go as it gets repetitive and the story is nowhere near as indepth as is the genres standard. All the western rpgs you listed are great games and worth a play. Demon Stone has about the best narrator ever, Patrick Stewart, which really lends to the game as I generally wish my narrators would shut up. Aside from Star Ocean 3, mostly because I feel the series has gone down hill since SO: Second Story, your worth a look are considered some of the best JRPGs out there. However this list lacks mention of Wild Arms, Breath of Fire IV, Valkyrie Profile 2, the Tales series (Tales of Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia to name a few) and many other well reviewed JRPGs

[QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"]

[QUOTE="tidusjeff"]I'm not sure about much that would help. I think I just have to make myself. But it's hard because I have valkyria chronicles to play. AcidSoldner

If it feels like a chore to play, then stop playing it. Games are supposed to be fun, that's whole point. I'd sell it or trade it in towards another game if it felt like that.

Agreed. If your not enjoying the game then you don't have to play it. From what I played at my friends house I enjoyed immensely but hey thats just me.

same, but odd you need motivation to play a game considered a classic. Each their own and all

The Ps2 has a serious collection of "Gems" as I like to call them. Shadow Hearts being a prime example of this. Its origin Koudelka was a miserable game which had numerous flaws, given a few years and a new system to be on a masterpiece in the RPG genre came out of it however. Okage the Shadow King: Bloody near impossible at times but the games mix of interesting graphics and storyline made for yet another great RPG the two .//hack series stood out as RPGs with their distinctive style of play Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance was an ace for sure on the PS2, and many other Forgotten Realsm games (for example Demon Stone voiced by Patrick Stewart no less) were amazing games that I often revisit Chaos Legion and Breath of Fire IV were both on the PS2 I could literally go all day at this :(

To say that the Gamecube had a great library is faulty. Its has maybe 30-40 games worth playing and only a few of those were RPGs (which is my preferred genre) compared to the PS2 which of any system (excluding PS1 games, but if you want to include those it only builds on the Ps2 available library) has the largest and most diverse library and whose library at one point heavily focused on RPGs. I own a Gamecube and yes its fun, but its games rarely had innovative qualities and the system itself never provided for innovation, something Nintendo fans expect from that company I feel. As a collector of games, the GC like the N64 had little to offer me while the PS2 pumped out game after game I wanted to add to my collection. The Dreamcast. which the poster above me brought, had a great selection of ace games, however it failed to draw in new gamers so its sole appeal was to "core" or "serious" gamers. No system could thrive like that, personally I'm okay with Sega making just games now and not systems

I think Gamecube's greatest failure was to advertise itself well. As it fell further behind the PS2 it of course lost its chance to produce a quality game library while the PS2 gained ground in this area. True the GC has some gems, but they don't override all the poor quality games that were released on the system. GC is very much like the Wii in that regard (though the Wii is producing a higher quality of game if slowly thanks to it having its popularity to fall back on), serious gamers are the one's going to drop the most money as they are the devoted retail base, if you can't keep them at least partially happy while enticing new gamers no matter what company backs the system it will fail.
