What I'm asking for is recommendations! Name some of the best PS2 games you know, and
preferably japan-related ones (Sakura Taisen, Xenosaga, Suikoden etc, you know, cool games, not lame, american ones =D). Oh, and no Final Fantasy.
HAH! You've come to the right place, mate!
-Persona 4 (BEST) Hunt down a mysterious killer and summon powerful entities!
-Persona 3 FES (Much more your typical anime plot)
-I found the .Hack//G.U. trilogy to be a blast. Liam O'Brian is FUCKING GREAT!
That's my top 3-ish list. Others are SMT: Nocturne (rare dungeon crawler with the darkest plot in any JRPG), SMT: Devil Summoner or SMT: Devil Summoner 2 (better gameplay for the sequel, less of a unique story, though). Pretty much any
Shin Megami Tensei game you can get your hands on. They're all great, dark JRPGs. The majority have multiple endings [like P4, Devil Summoner 2, and Nocturne]
