With the PS2 you have SOOOOO many choices.

Final Fantasy X wouldn't be a bad choice. I'd also go with Tales of the Abyss.

Both are solid choices.

 

 

FFX wasn't my cup of tea(never finished it) so I can't comment on that, but you can't go wrong with Tales of the Abyss. 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Sorry about not coming back to this thread sooner.

I checked the store and found Kingdom Hearts in the bargain bin so I got that one. I'll look for Final Fantasy X after I play this for a bit and see if I like it.

Would it be okay if I made another thread for it?

Plz explain How KH is an RPG series??? Then GOW series is an RPG too?



I'd recommend Legend of Dragoon [if you can find it]. It's a PSOne game though.

FFX is the best newbie RPG I've ever played. It's plot sucks you in quickly, the terrain is beautiful, and the combat system is well explained and easy to pickup.



If you want something accessible, you don't get much more accessible than Ar tonelico. Unfortunately, you don't get much harder to find than Ar tonelico either. It's also worth noting that the series is, shall we say, not for everyone: the music is awesome and the setting is amazing, but the script is chock-full of innuendo which the translators unfortunately treated as a big joke.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Final Fantasy X is a good place to start because it's easy to get into, and it's an excellent game.

After that, you can try best RPGs for the PS2:
-Persona 3 and 4
-Suikoden III and V
-Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne
-Xenosaga
-Star Ocean 3




Best start...? FFX definitely. That was my first RPG, now I can't stop playing the genre. ^_^ If you still love it, I'd recommend Persona 3 and 4. If only one of those, pick 4.



Currently playing: Marvel vs. Capcom 3, League of Legends

chrono cross is the best RPG ive ever played. it is on the PS1, but i still pick it up and play ever year or 2. FFX is a solid choice as well
