I recommend keeping an open mind. You might find you are pleasantly surprised.

I believe i did.

Disgaea 1 and 2, Final Fantasy X, Persona 3 (didn't play 4 yet), Tales of the Abyss, Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, Suikoden 3-5, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Odin Sphere, Shadow Hearts 1-3 and a lot more. Did i miss some?

Yes, yes you did.

What did i miss then?

Xenosaga series?

Played all three. All of them had great stories.

Its a fight between Final Fantasy X, Digital Devil Saga 2 and Tales of the Abyss for me.

I suggest you play more PS2 jRPGs.

Why?

To experience more great jRPG goodness. Why else?

I believe i have already experiance the best of the best jrpgs on the PS2.

Persona 4 obviously, SMT: Nocturne, the three Xenosagas, Star Ocean 3, Rogue Galaxy, Radiata Stories...

Played all of them except Persona 4. Radiata Stories was a great jrpg and so was Nocturne, Star Ocean 3 and Rogue Galaxy (hated Rouge Galaxy's story though).

Only 2 references for shin megami tensei nocturne so far!!! on this tread makes me sad
best story in a jrpg ever in my opinion maybe a little to dark for most peoples tastes, but the fact its so ignored even more then its spin offs like DDS and Persona makes me think almost nobody has even played this masterpiece

Rouge Galaxy had a lot of potential and the gameplay was Superb my only gripe was the underwhelming story which seems to be level 5's weakness. They need to fire the dude who writes stories for them and hire somebody else

Black Women Are The Most Beautiful Women On The Planet.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

So you think Akihino Hino should be fired from his CEO position? Who will take over for him?

Akihiro Hino should definitely not be fired, he's very capable (not counting THAT game...). But also he shouldn't write the stories for the games, he's not good for that
