I agree that the PS2 and PSone dominate quantity by a vast amount, but as far as quality goes I still can't find anything surpassing 4 of my favorite games of all time: Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, FFVI, and FFIV. None of those 4 games have been surpased by anything since except by perhaps the latter two by Dragon Quest VIII, which I completely agree was the best RPG of the last generation. It's too bad DQ is so underrated in America. It's art style is too kiddy for the American PS2 demographic.
RPGs I really loved on the PS2:
KH1 and KH2
Dragon Quest VIII
Dark Cloud 2 (VERY underrated)
I played everything on your list up there except Shin Megami Tensei, I just didn't like everything on your list up there a whole lot heh.
