I finally got my PS2...never thought I would but I did. I saw that Final Fantasy X commercial for the gazillioneth time and gave in...that and all the big titles I\'m getting for Xbox are coming out much later than I thought (Brute Force, Unreal, Sega GT, Turok, Vexx, Panzer Dragoon, Project Ego, Duality...the list goes on and on, point is they don\'t come out till this fall :( )
Anyway, one of my favorite genre\'s is the RPG...since I can\'t play FFX, XI, or XII on any other system it was inevidable. That and I can play all the older RPGs that I missed out on since I didn\'t own a PS...
I\'m definetely buying FF IX. I played through VII and VIII(bah!) when my friend let me borrow his PS...
Other than that, I\'m thinking about Chrono Cross, Star Ocean, Saga Frontier, Final Fantasy Anthology, Vagrant Story, Threads of Fate, and Legend Of Mana. Please give me some opinions on the games I listed or if you have some recommendations, I\'d love to hear them...
-
Well you mentioned all RPG\'s but I must mention another great PSX game, Tenchu of course. A great game thats still fun now. Oh and Xenogears is a great RPG.
-
Good choice friend ! chrono Cross , all FF\'s and all squares are awesome
-
I\'ll look in to Tenchu and see what it is...thanks.
And about the RPG\'s, what I\'m really looking for are people\'s opinoins on the games and possibly some insights as to what the battle systems are like, are the long, difficult, how many characters do you get...things of that nature.
-
Suikoden and Suikoden II.
You\'ll want to play them both.
-
If you like FPS then i recomend medal of honor and medal of honor underground. oh yeah check out vagrant story also. IMO but all are excelent games
-
im with psycho on that one
MOH 1 and 2 are a couple of the finest console FPS\'s ever
-
Well, as far as Playstation games go, I can recommend a whole slew of superb ones, RPG\'s included. Say so if you want me to whip out a list of no less than 20 great must own titles.
For the PS2 though... I know MGS is not your thing, but like everyone else on this board I highly recommend Grand Theft Auto 3. Just play it for 10 minutes and I guarantee you will love it, all of it.
-
One of my fav PS1 games is Final Fantasy Tactics and Vandal Hearts. Those games rok.
-
Well, I\'ll be extremely busy over the next few days with school and all (I\'m taking 2 30 hour class in 7 days :eek:...but I will give all the games you all have recommended a try when I\'m done...
Thanks :D
-
FF:Tactics is a very good RPG. And I heard that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was an awesome game if you can find it (unfortunately, I missed out on it :() It\'s not an RPG, but if you\'re into those kinds of games you will love it.
-
X=10
V=5
-
rigghhhttt
anyway i would say the must have rpgs from psx are
FFIX - Chrono Cross - Star Ocean 2 - Lunar 1&2 Complete - Xenogears and Vagarant Story
the others you listed are good but not the best of the best
those up there will keep you quite busy too

Don\'t forget to check out Wild Arms, kick-ass RPG, if you can get over the lame graphics :)

Forget about FF Anthology, it\'s on the incompatible with PS2 list. Supposedly game V works fine (one of the least loved games of the entire series) and VI has trouble when you go to save.
Breath of Fire III would be a good substitute for Anthology. Am told BoF IV is even better. If you want to catch up on the classics, don\'t overlook FF Chronicles either.
You\'re an RPG fan and never owned a PSX? No wonder you freely talk smack about Sony [shakes head slowly] Just don\'t know no better, is all ;)

wild arms, ive heard its excellent, unfortuantely i missed it. als ive heard xenogears in excellent, but wansnt release in uk

Tenchu was great just the idea of snaeking up and being stealth was a great idea, no 2 was great to.
-
Does anybody remeber Suikoden...great game the graphics are a bit lame but the story was great....but i missed out on suikoden 2 :(
-
Ginko,
Here\'s a couple more that I\'m sure you won\'t regret.
Alunda and Vandal Hearts. Great oldies.
-
Wow, Ginko! I remember your crazy fanboyish ways quite well. It\'s nice to see you actually giving other consoles a try.
-
No wonder you\'re smacking SONY left right and centre..you\'ve never owned a PSX.
But it\'s quite ridiculous to be an RPG fan and not playing all those fab RPG all these years.
Just WHAT DID U PLAY all those years???!!! :)
Anyway, I suggest you try everything everyone\'s recommending here...I\'ve finished ALL of them except BOF4 and Wild Arms 2.
Those are all great games despite the now dated graphics.
Gameplay over graphics anyday for me... :)

Whew, I made an A in my Law of Contracts class :cool: Now to work on Law of Agency :( Pretty easy so far...
Smacking Sony?!? LOL!! I\'m not done yet...Xbox is still my console of choice, PS2 comes somewhat close though...
Anyway, 2 of my friend\'s had PS and I got a little bit of playtime in...I was never impressed enough to go out and buy one. FFX impressed me so I bought PS2.
FFIX is great so far, GTA III is so awesome, Metal Gear Solid 2 was okay ( I was a bit underwhelmed by the whole thing), Chrono Cross is pure gold so far...
Ummm, only like 20 more games to go...they\'ll all have to take a back seat to Jet Set Radio Future:D

Avoid Legend of Mana like the plague though, I see it was on your list.
If you get tired of RPG games, you can play rpgish Parasite Eve or Eve II. Both were cool.

I forgot to put this on my list!! I played though some of the first one, very cool game. A little slow paced though.
But I have been looking for both of them...somewhat hard to find. I\'ll probably have to get them used...oh well.
-
yeah.. legend of mana was weak.. very differnt then the last.. I did not care for it :(
you obviously have to try MGS2 and GTA3 :hat:
