I really need to try these out. But the whole social simulator thing pushes me away.

TOTA

Tales of the Abyss by far. It's probably because of the extremely fun battle system. Nothing else comes close...Except for Dark Cloud 2.

Come to think of it, I haven't really played any extremely good RPGs on the PS2, but that's not to say there aren't any.

Final Fantasy X. I haven't played that game in years, but I hope to play through it again soon enough. The Kingdom Hearts games are great as well.

You and I seem to have very similar tastes in RPG's (given our conversations). ff12 is not near the top of my list, but i did enjoy it quite a bit

Ha yeah, I've noticed too :P

Story wasn't as personable as other FF titles but I thought it was compelling nevertheless.

Definitely my most played game on consoles, probably somewhere around 200 hours

I appreciated the focus on the macro over the micro. The best battle system for an rpg ever IMO...you could take as much control as you wanted = don't worry about the small battles (if you set up your gambits correctly). No battle screen I liked the sky pirate and the guy with a scar on his face I 100% completed that game as well Though I will admit that more than a few of the characters were annoying, but that is expected in a FF game

Dragon Quest VIII for sure, lots of available customization, and fairly open for a JRPG.

Dragon Quest 8 and Final Fantasy 12 (Balthier!), I can't possibly choose between them. Final Fantasy X still ranks up there pretty high, as well. I didn't like P3 because of the grinding/difficulty, and I never even tried P4, so I can't comment on those.

I've been playing it recently and it's pretty awesome and BTW Vaan isn't an annoying character, Polka from Eternal Sonata however...

I'm guessing you can only pick one. Have to go with Tales of the Abyss. That game has great replay value. Worthy mentions Persona 3 and 4 :p To the poster who mentioned .hack the first one was awesome.

Dark Cloud2 easily. FFX was fun, had a good battle system and a better story, but I did not like the sphere grid at all.
