I'm looking for an RPG to work through this summer, any suggestions.

I prefer linear dungeons with not a lot of back tracking and chess board, turn based style. For example Arc the Lad Twlight of the Spirits. Thanks

Dragon Quest 8 is my favorite RPG on the PS2. The dungeons aren't too incredibly difficult to navigate, and it is turn-based. Pretty long game too.

God of War and Shadow of Rome are good choices.

Persona 3:FES seems like a solid choice for you. 100+ hours of difficult, dungeon crawling fun! :D

Its not turn based and more of a zelda type game, but I really liked Dark Cloud 2.

Persona 3 is a great game but it's far from hard. I think you'll like Dark Cloud 2. It's not turn-based but it's really fun and there's a handy map in all areas (you should find it first) which makes navigating way easier. the game is extremely long or shall I say it took me a long time to finish it? :P

I'd recommend Dark Cloud 2, yeah. And some Persona 3: FES and Persona 4. You'll need a lot of time in your hands to finish all of them altogether, though.

Yes it is. With FES, you even get an extra episode so it's really in total around 130+ hours.

Final Fantasy X, I had over 100 hours in that game, it will take a lot more to get everything.

GET Disgaea I love Arc twilight's of the spirits and that game has so much leveling, and for dungeons you go into you weapons and clear floors. Some weapons have 100 level and your weapons become super powerful.

Or Makai Kingdom the fighting system is SO close to the battle system on Twilight's and similar to Disgaea you will Not be disappointed, both games come with a money back guarantee that you will love them!
