you sure? I'm playing KH on DS right now and I'm looking at Knights of Nightmare very closely. I've also played games never released outside of Japan and they are just amazingly good. if you look at the quality of something you can get in English like A2, Disgaea, LA2, FE, VP:CP and BD, these are already just as good if not better than the library on PS2. also don't forget the only worthwhile ARPGs on the PS2 were things like KH, and some BG and a lot of them were not as good. not to mention a lot of the DS games have WiFi support and even voice chat, Nintendo created something pretty advance back 5 years ago feature-wise even though the 3D capability isn't as high as something like the PSP, and the quality of software really shows just how many good games are on it.

Whoa, slow down. I'd have preferred to steer clear of a list war, but since one has been started already...

In terms of quality SRPGs, the PS2 has: Disgaea 1, Disgaea 2, La Pucelle Tactics, Phantom Brave, Eternal Poison, Stella Deus, Gladius, Makai Kingdom, Growslanser, Arc the Lad: TotS, Soul Nomad, Suikoden Tactics and I'm sure I've missed a few more. That's a stellar amount of quality SRPGs.

I thought there were plenty more quality ARPGs than just KH I and II and Baldur's Gate. Dark Cloud 1 and, especially, 2 were great, Champions of Norrath was an awesome multiplayer dungeon crawl, SO3 was good for the most part, X-Men Legends I and II, Ys: Ark of Napishtism, The Bard's Tale and .Hack 1 - 4 (Haven't played but have heard good things).

As I mentioned eariler, not to take away anything from the DS, as its RPG lineup is amazing, but I don't think it's quite up to snuff with the PS2.

I'm glad you mentioned Valkyrie Profile. I've been meaning to get it for a while, I think I may trade in Cross Edge to get it.

 

dood, VP is a must have, definitely get it. I never did like Hack too much, one of the few where I didn't like the story at all, but there are a good amount of cults who love it. for me personally, I already think DS is better than PS2 because I can take it anywhere I go with the amazing games lol, and there are so many good games that never made it into the NA or PAL regions which is a real shame.
