Best new (PS2) RPG?

[wright45]

In the past couple years, it looks like alot of new RPG's have come out for the PS2 (and maybe other systems).

What's the best one overall (story, battles, fun, entertainment, etc.) that you have played?

I'm making this a poll but I surely left some out, please mention them. And or reply with your top 3.

[Densetsu]

No Odin Sphere?
I'm saddened.

[Project Epsilon]

yes, odin sphere has got me thinking of buying another ps2. every vid i see of it just sends chills down my spine. its looks amazing.

[Toshiro]

Odin Sphere should be there, but also Persona 3, Grimgrimoire and the Atelier Series

[Rockfire]

Star ocean, the best Rpg I've ever played.

[Fadingz]

Either FFXII, KH2, or TotA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a genuine Namco Tales, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts fan

FF for graphic, KH for gameplay, and tales for story line !!

[DJ Stenny]

Tales of Legendia for me. Best character development I have ever seen.

[galson]

None have bested Vagrant Story and Xenogears IMO (my still all-time favourite RPGs) and I have to choose FFXII since I hardly played other titles (Xenosaga II wasn't that bad, just too short and the battle system was horrible, PS2 Suikodens can't even dream of matching I and II's greatness).

[_E_]

How come Xenosaga III ( the best out of all Xenosaga titles ) is not listed but 2 is ??

[Silenus]

That poll is really big.
Haven't played most of them.

[Fadingz]

Yeah, I need more than one check marks :x, I like many of them in different perspectives.

[JKKDARK]

Phantasy Star Universe, because it says "Sega" in the cover

[Holic]

I voted dragon quest 8 it was last rpg for the ps2 before i sold it.

[runawayprisoner]

Where's Dawn of Mana?

[wright45]

Looks like I did miss a few...

Odin Sphere
Persona 3
Grimgrimoire
Atelier Series
Tales of Legendia
Xenosaga III
Dawn of Mana

Nobody voted for Grandia III yet? I haven't played it but it's been one of my most anticipated games. The awesome new graphics paired with the excellent grandia battle system AND air attacks. Looks like alot of fun, I'm probably going to get it (after I finally play FFX, haha)

[JKKDARK]

Also you forgot two amazing rpg's: Shining Force EXA and Shining Wind

[Fadingz]

and Monster Hunter 2 great game
and samurai warriors

[wright45]

Just as a note...
Ideally you would vote for a game you played

[Fadingz]

yep I know, and I only have 10 ps2 games @@":
FFXII, FFX (international), FFX-2 (international), KH2 (FM), KH (FM), Monster Hunter, TotA, Tales of Legendia, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Destiny 2, and Tales of Rebirth... XD
The problem is that I have a Jap PS2, so I have to order everything outside US =_= and delivery...

[runawayprisoner]

Oh dear... and I intentionally left those out... yet no one ever mentioned them! Here are some more that you should be looking at as well:

Shadow Heart series (3 games)
Wild Arms series (3, 4, 5, and a remake of 1)
Dot Hack series (too many...)
Summon Night series (currently Japanese exclusive...)
Breath of Fire 5
Metal Saga
Rogue Galaxy
Megaman X Command Mission
Front Mission 4 (and Front Mission Online, as well)

That's a HUGE list to neglect there...
