Good Role-playing Games

Post by I'm Murrin »

It's getting towards christmas and my parents are badgering me into thinking of as many things as possible for them to waste their money on. I've already listed the things I was perfectly capable of buying myself, but they seem to want to spend more... and I have no objection to that. :)

I'm trying to find out what good RPGs there are for the PS2. I prefer FF-type games, really, but I do look at others... I don't really like real-time combat in RPGs, I'm usually no good at it...

Any recommendations?


I don't really have many already - FFX, Summoner... I think thats all the ones I own for PS2...

Knights of the Old Republic is the best RPG you can get. It's amazing. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Okay, I've found a 'Legend of Legaia' on PSOne, and a 'Legaia 2: Duel Saga' on PS2....


BTW, what are your thoughts on Grandia (1 and 2 - I'm making a point of getting some of the PSOne games I missed as well as the PS2 ones)?

Grandia 1 is good. Not among my favourites, but well above average. Vagrant Story is good, if quite difficult to play to start with
