![]() Tales of the Abyss.
Disgaea is fun too, and fortunately Atlus reprinted it so you can easily get a copy for $25-30. But in terms of time spent playing an RPG, nothing in my collection has surpassed Tales of the Abyss. It's just an amazing game. Last edited by Squeek; 01-31-2009 at 05:42 PM.. |

![]() I took Squeek's advice a while ago and didn't regret the decision at all.
It was really enjoyable.

![]() You should get FFVII if you can find one, it plays on the PS2, but you'll just need a PS1 memory card.
PS: FFVII is expensive as fuc

![]() You're forgetting Dark Cloud 2.
Yeah the intro music was pretty meh, but the customization, invention system, monster transformations, and little sneaky extras, hidden carefully around the game's world, make it a true top 10 for any RPG buff's PS2 collection. WARNING: Does require moderate levelgrinding, beware. ![]() And hurry up and get Persona 3/4... ![]() |

![]() Sorry, I should have mentioned they are two separate games.
Persona 3 and Persona 4. Sorry for the ambiguity. |

![]() Eh, FFX was okay but nothing great imho. At least not compared to Tales of the Abyss.
At least it will be cheap.

P.S. - haha, Virus, I have an original packaged FFVII with it's original guide. Lol, I can sell it for $200 to the right people around here... that's insane for a game to raise it's value like that... FFX and X-2 sucked total ass in my opinion. To my eyes, they weren't part of the Final Fantasy series. They were utter crap to me. Storylines were bogeyed at best. And the rest of the systems, battle, the ****ing orb **** you have to fill the grid with, that all was so lame. I love the traditional level up system. It keeps the classic side of the Final Fantasy in the game while they can make everything else different and it would still be fun for me. I love the pleasure of watching players level up and become strong as fuq. I hated that skill orb whatever bull****.

![]() Oh yeah, I had memorable times with the Shadow Hearts series. Some of the most fun I've had playing an RPG next to Dark Cloud/Disgaea.

![]() Dark Cloud 2 is boring. It's designed for completionists who can't help but make everything. It's also ridiculously hard and requires a lot more than just "moderate" level grinding. Be prepared to cycle through the same map dozens of times to prepare you for the next one.
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are boring unless you absolutely love hitting nothing but X to beat a game. And the cutscenes are so great that they included a skip feature in the sequel, which I used thoroughly. Final Fantasy X is boring and easy as hell, but I wasn't expecting much from a Final Fantasy game. Never played 12 but it's a cheap attempt at real-time combat that falls short. Star Ocean 3 is absolutely dreadful. The entire game is centered around combat, which isn't very good to begin with. The story is atrociously bad and it's far too easy of a game. Disgaea 1 and 2 are golden. Even I, someone who hates turn-based RPGs and someone who really hates SRPGs fell in love with this franchise and dropped over 300 hours on these games. Persona 3 is another diamond in the rough. Better if you actually like Japanese culture or dabble in anime, but even the average person can enjoy it for what it is. Persona 4 is supposed to be better, but I haven't dropped the cash for it yet to find out. Tales of the Abyss is the greatest RPG I've ever played, let alone the best on the PS2. The combat is done right, showing FF12 how real-time is meant to be done even before FF12 came out. The story is engaging and unsurpassed by anything else on the market. It's a great game from start to finish and you will want to play through it several times, guaranteed. But hey that's just me. Edit: I post this every time I talk about TotA. Even though it's not the best video, especially with the annoying text written in, it's still a great example of how awesome the game is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXGA-fmrQ7Q |
