Jrpgs on the PS2?

Well see, there was Bomberman Hardball on the PS2. But yeah JRPGs, I'd highly recommend Dragon Quest VIII. It's one of the best JRPGs I've ever played. Oh and of course Persona 3 and 4. Incredible games.

Kingdom Hearts 1&2... Action based JRPG.

Suikoden 4 was the worst of the series....

Shadow Hearts (only to have some insight for...)
Shadow Hearts 2 Covenant
Shadow Hearts 3 (if you need another to play, but 2 is really where the series ends)
Ar Tonelico (Misha's branch has a possible game stopping glitch. Need to activate all her dialog at a key pont to bypass it. keep multiple saves.)
Ar Tonelico 2 (best of the series. Although has a game stopping glitch, but its bypassible. Need to kill a boss within 3 turns.)
Xenosaga Ep 1-3

(these 3 have camos that make them related to one another.)
Valkyrie Profile 2
Radiata Stories
Star Ocean 3

Sakura Wars: So long my love
Steambot Chronicles
Metal Saga (might be too sandboxy, though, not many end up liking it.)

Suikoden Tactics
Front Mission 4
Odin Sphere (although you're better off getting the PSN version for the PS3. PS2 version has tons of slowdown)
Okami
La Pulcelle Tactics
Eternal Poison (aka: Poison Pink)

Horrible Graphics, Low budge.... but still worth playing.
Disaster Report
Raw Danger

Crossovers:
Haunting Ground (good luck finding that one.....)
ICO (If in the US PS3 HD version is all around better though, because it's the European version.)
Shadow of the Colossus (PS3 HD version comes with ICO and is clearer, plus trophies)
Fatal Frame I, II, and III
Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 (stay away from MGS3's Snake Eater, MGS3 Subsistence is the one you want.)
Zone of the Enders 1 & 2
Ace Combat 5
Way of the Samurai
Yakuza 1 & 2

Xenogears for the PS1....
