Your favorite PS2 rpg?

[BytByte]

I definitely remember Radiata Stories as my favorite, but pretty soon I'll be starting the Shadow Hearts trilogy and Rogue Galaxy, so I really don't know.

Dark Cloud 2, so amazing and beautiful.

Hell yes it is.

Does Shadow of the Colossus count? It has levelling, and it's so awesome that I'll count it as my favourite PS2 game in any genre where it fits. Besides, I don't have any other even vaguely RPG-type games on PS2. I have heard good things about Persona 3, though.

No I don't think it does count. To me, Shadow of the Colossus is more like an adventure/puzzle game hybrid. Still, it is a great game like you said.

OT: Probably Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Both very good games, and they both also got me interested in the FF series. Hell, if it weren't for them I'd probably never would've have played Final Fantasy 7. Which led to me playing Final Fantasy 9, one of my most favorite games of all time.

Shadow Hearts: Covenant. The only only RPG that Ive ever played that follows the continuity of the first game so well that major plot points in the game revolve around side quests and secret areas from the first game. It actually assumes that you did everything in the first one, which is fantastic. My only gripe was that it was too damn easy. Other than that, damn near perfect game in my eyes.

Persona 4. I've never actually played Persona 3 though, so I might have to pick that up sometime. I doubt I will find it better than its successor though.

Persona 4.
Love that game so much. Persona 3 FES is great as well, but the expansion bit was bad, Yukari is pretty damn annoying, and P4's combat is just so much better.

At the moment I love FFIX but I own so many PS2 RPGs that I havn't even opened yet...

 

[GonzoGamer]

Jeez.
Am I the only one who liked the D&D rpgs?
I did like FFX too but my wife got more into it than me.

For me it's a toss-up between Personas 3 and 4 and, oh god oh god OH GOD OH GOD PLEASE DON'T KILL ME Final Fantasy X-2

 

[nerd51075]

I loved Dark Cloud and Final Fantasy X.

 

[Sora383]

oh jeesh one favorite is a tough call I honestly agree with everyone's posts so far regarding the games but if i have to pick one its gotta be persona 3 jut for the story. and I know its not a true rpg but more of an mmo but I loved the stories in Final fantasy 11 as well

 

[BlackHazard]

For me it's a tie between Final Fantasy 12 and Persona 4.

 

[Fantasylord]

For me my fav ps2 rpgs have got to be a 4 way tie between:
Artonelico Melody Of Elemia
Kingdom Hearts 2
Final Fantasy X-2
and finally Lord Of The Rings The Third Age.
Ironically I am focused on playing Artonelico 2, these days right now I'm having a lot of fun with it.

SMT: Digital Devil Saga 2.

Is it safe to say that Persona 3-4 are leading this?

 

[docsax]

Does Vagrant Story count?

 

[YouBecame]

I really liked Summoner
I feel a little outvoted though!

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Dark Cloud 2, so amazing and beautiful.

This, this, this!

Best rpg EVAAAAAR.

Everything in the game was brillant, the gameplay was great, art style amazing, orginal story, tones of bonuses...

 

[Drakos.Amatras]

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha VS The Soulless Army.
And the sequel, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha VS King Abaddon.

"Your favorite PS2"... Shadow of the Colossus.
"rpg"... Oh! Umm... Probably Kingdom Hearts II. (Not really a fan of RPG's)

 

[Staskala]

Ar Tonelico 2.
Not my favorite for the gameplay or story (although they are pretty damn good, especially the setting) but the soundtrack.
Easily among the best in video game history.
