Yeah ,thats what I'm saying. Out of all the FF I've played, FFXII is at the top with FFX and FF8(This is the original one I played), no other RPG can beat the FFXII(does'nt matter if you buy regular or special, although I'm a collector of FF and bought the Collectors edition of FFXII and the Collectors book at a heafty price of $90-100)

You should start from the PS1 game Koudelka, which is what every other Shadow Hearts game is based off of. But just start with Covenant, then avoid From The New World like the plague.

Oh come on,From The New World wasn't such a bad game. Sure it phails in comparison to Covenant but as it's own game it's pretty decent and it has better combo system IMO.

Take a look at Dragon Quest/Warrior. Traditional RPG is a type of game where it stick to the same cliche story(save the world from evil something),battle system is the same as the one in Final Fantasy I and DQ I and does nothing to innovate. Valkyrie Profile had a different story and a different gameplay thus it's not traditional.

I am currently posting in another Forums " ps2 game with longest plot" and I to am asking what rpg game should i hit next, and many people suggest Disega(or something like that) which sounds extremely good rpg (LVLs up to 9999!!!!!!!!) many other suggest Star Ocean as well, and Okami. As of now Diseaga sounds very good right now. And of course if you have'nt played FFX or FFXII get them ASAP.

I'm OLD school.  My first RPG ever was FF1 for the 8 bit nintendo.  My top 10 all time list (for all systems)

1) Lufia ( very underrated) 2) FF2 3) FF7 4) FFX 5) Legend Of Dragoon ( A GREAT game) 6) FF12/ Crono Trigger (tie)  7) Star Ocean for PS1 8) Dragon Warrior 7  9) FF3 10) FF1

Other really good ones include Dragon Quest 8, Star Ocean till the end of time, Breath of fire 1 and 2 (man did these games get worse and worse) FF8 and 9, Lufia 2.

As far as Dragon Quest vs. Star ocean..it depends on what your preference is.  You won;t go wrong with either one.  I liked Dragon Quest myself because it was really midieval and old school...sometimes less is more.  Its a little bit cartoonish, but it has a good story and decent side quests.  Star Ocean is a lot more futuristic...you'll probably need the strategy guide because its very complicated, especially all the item creation stuff.  Both are pretty much GUARANTEED enjoyment so you can;t go wrong.  I know its not PS2, but if you can get a hold of legend of Dragoon...thats a real dark horse that should please you.

PS: AWESOME thread, I was actually looking for somethign like this to get to know the RPG games for PS2 a little better.

I just noticed.  Is Lord of the Rings the Third Age not on your original thread?  It's an OK RPG (like 6.5 out of 10.)   But it should be included.  That game could have been SOOOO much better.  An RPG for lord of the rings had a lot of potential, but this one was really "meh."

Boring story,no badass Yuri,repetetive and boring level designs....there are many flaws which keep this game from being up to par with Covenant,but as i said,the game on it's own is actually a pretty good RPG.

I would have liked that answer as well. I got Disgaea 1, anything different with 2 that makes it worth getting? I know getting both is putting me at 200 hrs not to mention I just picked up Valkyrie Profile 2, and FFXII (yeah I know, I was too busy with Oblivion and the 360)

I talkedd to one of the guys that I know at Gamecrazy, and he said that its better to play the first one and then second cuz it follows the same storyline, so that you are'nt confused on what happpend/happens, other than that I guess you can play either one you want.

Yeah, I agree somewhat, its a great top of the line FF of all time, but they say that the first FF (or even rpg game) will always be your favorite and I've gotta say FFVIII is my fav of all of them. But yeah I've already got FFVII

You know I dont know if anyone else ever though of this but  what if they made remakes of FFVII and FFVIII (In my opinion) on current platforms such as PS2 or Ps3 just for rpg gamers to replay the greatest FF in better resolution but with still same core gameplay. I think it'd be a good idea, and so that I can finally say that FFVII belongs on this list!!!!!!LOL.

well it's debatable to a degree.  there is a leveling aspect (i.e. weapon/magic level upgrade, ) to GOW1/2, which indirectly improves Kratos' fighting abilities...health/mana (in this case, magic) system.  personally i don't consider the game an RPG either LO, but those aspects are vaguely similar to the whole RPG element.
