Now that its summer, I'm looking for a lengthy new RPG to play... and quite honestly the PS2 is the only platform out right now where I can find a wide variety of different RPG's. My initial thought was to buy Kingdom Hearts 2 since I'm about to beat the first one, but tbh the story is somewhat lacking in the game... and I'm really just looking for a game that is lengthy with a great story, while still being fun to play of course.

So, you tell me, what are the great RPG's of the Playstation 2? Currently, I have Kingdom Hearts, FFX, FFXI, FFXII, Star Ocean, and DragonQuest VIII.

Add Rouge Galaxy to your collection. It's a decent game.

Final Fantasy 10-2 is a good one, and seeing as it looks like you enjoy FF games, it would be a nice addition. And KH2 is a must, trust me it is worth it.

Actually, I'm not a big fan of the FF series. My brother was the one that bought all of the FF games, I liked FFX's story but the gameplay was kind of boring and linear, and FFXII was ok at first but I'm really not into the new gameplay system.

Why not Suikoden IV? :?

Actually I was looking at Tales of Legendia, but if Tales of the Abyss is longer then I may have to check it out. I played Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube and I loved it.

Get Xenosaga 1-3 and marathon them if you want a great story. It should take you at least 70 hours to get through all three. Valkyrie Profile 2 is another really good one, though it's brutally difficult at times.

Other noteworthy titles are Disgaea 1+2, Tales of the Abyss, Wild Arms 3+4, Grandia 2+3, Suikoden 3, and the .hack//G.U. games if you are a .hack//ROOTS fan.

Why not Suikoden IV? :?REVOLUTIONfreak

Cause Suikoden IV is a really bad game compared to the rest in the series, the others are great though

Well, in case anyone is interesting, I chose to buy Kingdom Hearts II for now, since it's only $20. This weekend though I'll probably also buy Tales of the Abyss, depending on how much I like Kingdom Hearts II.

Final Fantasy I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX....There you go....All of those are available for the PSone (I think...Not sure about the numbering system, but I'm pretty sure even the *** ones are on the PSone in English...) ...So yeah get those...

As for the PS2, I think Magna Carta looks cool.

yeah i was thinking of getting magna carta. I played enchanted arms for the xbox 360 and i was surprised to find it entertaining, even though it got a 7 on gamespot. Magna carta got the same score so i think i might have to see if this game is underrated also.

If it's a good story you're looking for, the pass it by, but Legaia 2: Duel Saga is a very unique game. It can be tedious, but it is a nice break from the average RPG.
