  • what is number 7?

  • I really like that you put ToA as your top. That was definitely nice to see. You really need to give Dragon Quest VIII a try though. It's , imo, the very best in the series. I actually put off a vacation when that game came out because I couldn't bear to stop half way through.

  • Shadow Hearts Covenant is the most amazing RPG. . . . . . . that nobody played. Its such a shame. it was one of (my) top video game experiences of my life. Its up there with Metal Gear Solid 1, Chrono Trigger, and Vagrant Story. I loved everything in that Game. The Story was crazy and awesome, yet it didn't take itself too seriously, the characters are all great, the battle system was addictive, and the Music was top notch. If you like rpgs, GO FIND THIS GAME. Alpha for the win!

  • @Deanovo1 I agree with you, in my list its like best rpg for ps2.

  • @TheFunnyFreak im glad to hear somebody else giving credit to that game. it deserves it big time. Too bad the Dev. went under :(

  • AlphaOmegaSin when he was camera shy. Charming huh? :/.

  • Come on, u forgot .hack and .hack//GU

  • @GUrebirth Soo Totally Agree on this one!!

  • you picked a really good game for number 1 spot tales of games have been my fav since day one no questions asked

  • Nice list.

  • Okay I have a question for anyone who can answer... out of Tales of Legendia, Dragon Quest 8, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Dark Cloud...which RPG is the best???

  • @GalsiaDonovan Ummmm would have to sa KH2 its is freaking brilliant but to get the story better play KH1 first which is also a really gd game

  • @GalsiaDonovan Out of that list, I would actually have to go with Kingdom Hearts #1. While I loved Dark Cloud and Tales of Legendia, Kingdom Hearts was the biggest surprise I've ever had with a game. I thought that it was going to be really lame when I first got it, and it turned out to be one of my favorites.

    As for KH 2, I think I ruined that one for myself by building it up too much over the 5 years I had to wait for it, and I have not gotten a chance to play Dragon Quest 8.

  • FF12 was the best rpg on ps2 in my opinion. How awesome would it be if they made a FF10 and FF12 HD collection. like the did with ico and the god of war collection and metal gear. The ps2 FF's would look great in HD

  • @guerillap1mp idk about 12 because it wasn't as good in a lot of peoples opinions (mine included). Surely you have heard a FFX hd remake has already been announced and confirmed.

  • @badams2190 ya but why just 10? most of the hd remakes come in collections. i played every final fantasy and 12 was my favorite. i had over 200 hours played and still didn't beat the game, i didn't even get the ultimate weapons yet. game is massive. and the graphics are some of the best on ps2.

  • @guerillap1mp eh if you buy them from the marketplace they are sold seperate. I understand you loved it, but a ton of us didn't. The game was not nearly as well received. Also, imho even though FFX-2 was pretty bad it would make way more sense for them to bundle that with X over XII. In the long run though I grew up on nes and sega genesis n64 ect. If I have to deal with replaying them on the ps2 I will. Like you said some of the best looking ps2 games out there.

  • @badams2190 they already ripped me off once for ffx2, i wouldn't let that happen again. that games trash. man, heres a tip if you like the old school genisis and snes and nes games. then you can get them all free. they're freeware and so is the emulators. i remember the website to get all the free snes games was guerillagames com and there is links for the nes and genesis games there. and you can get a free drivers for a ps3 or xbox controller to play them with.

  • @badams2190 oh wait, it's gameguerilla

  • nocturne #15?!?!!?!!!!

    Shadow of destiny!

  • My ONLY problem with this is that SMT: Nocturne isn't #1. In fact, that game is my favorite RPG of all time.

  • @Zephyricalus Thats a big statement.

  • and where you put rogue galaxy ?

  • nice list, have you played digital devil saga? I love those games to death

  • Quite a lot are missing, but to be fair, even with a top 30, there'd be a lot of other great PS2 RPGs left out there. Quite possibly the best console of all time if you ask me.

  • Any list that doesn't have Dragon Quest 8 should be ignored.

  • good list i would add persona4, kingdomhearts2, radiata stories and rogue galaxy all good games in my opinion persona4 is top ps2 rpg list

  • What about Valkyrie Profile 2 Silmeria? :((( My fav game ever!!!

  • aaaagh yes yes yes~~~ i've played almost all of them... but I think Mana Khemia 2 is better than the 1st one since it was more lively :>

    Well I respect your oppinion and for me Shadow Hearts Covenant is Number ONE! yey hhhaha

  • well, and of course, the tales of game takes the cake. same with symphonia in my gamecube favourites

  • @Narut0189

    Its Mana Khemia (:

  • @PersiannRoxxas if it didn´t have a title in the cover, I would´ve guessed it was a Tales game lmao

  • What is number 7?

    

  • FFX WHOOOO!!!!!!

    

  • QUE MARAVILHA N DA VE O NOME DO 7#

  • Don't know that game.... Don't know that game... Kingdom hearts fuck yeah!

  • You Forgot About Persona 4 it suppose to be # 1 :)

    my opinion

  • Where the hell is Dark cloud!? Not to be mean though :/ I'm just wondering why you dont like it :(

  • @TehMaplePlayer Yeah. Wheres Dark Cloud, DQVIII, Drakengard, Tales Of Legendia, FFXII...

  • I was really hoping that dragon quest VIII would of been on the list, but alas it is not. Tales of the abyss I have played and i did enjoy it immensely enjoy though it was a bitch to complete.

  • PAH! Dark Sun for the PC...now that's underrated. LOL

  • Noobs shouldn't be allowed to make a list

  • I bet Persona 4 would have made this list had this video been released earlier

  • @rocklee302

    I know right? That has to be one of my favorite games ever. And I was happy to see that Persona 3 was on the list.

  • i think shadow of destiney is mroe of a adventure game than an rpg

  • Where Final Fantasy XII / Rogue Galaxy and Valkirie Profile 2  o.0 #FIKDIK'

  • Radiata Stories?

  • @WingedNinja78 Don't be retarded. FF7 was PS1, this is PS2.

  • love that someone remembers Shadow of Destiny!

  • What about ffxii?

  • Comment removed

  • Dragon quest 8 should be up there

  • Dude, you should do a full on video remake of these videos. I would love to hear your commentary on them.

  • what is the name of the 7th place i can't read it =(

  • You have good taste ^_^

  • star ocean sucks balls :(

  • Dude, why wasn't Radiata Stories or Valkyrie Profile 2 on here?

  • I don't see FFXII anywhere? ...

  • @xSkyHunterr and for good reason, it sucked a gigantic orange testicle. when compared to that amazing list

  • @hellsing2511 I don't care much for FF, but so far I like FFXII. It's the only FF game I've played in the series that is interesting to me.

  • @xion8900 damn, you sir have a sour taste

  • @hellsing2511 It's just that I do not like the turn-based battle system. And the voice acting in FFX is poor. I like literally running up to the enemy and attacking it, not standing there pressing attack, defend, item, overdrive, etc. But, the only RPG game that I like which has a turn-based battle system is Golden Sun.

  • @xion8900 fair enough, tbs awsome in my opinion . ahh hack an slash type? crisis core style? ahh im opposite there. yea tidus's voice was a bit too.... excited constantly. if you get what i mean

  • @hellsing2511 Are you fucking kiddin me?I see FFXII as the 1st RPG ever, I played ir for over 200 Hours I never get bored of it! It's so complete, with it's giant map and hundreds of monsters, equipments, Magic, Eons, Come on how could this hole stuff suck?

  • @xSkyHunterr its gigantly meh, the majority of the characters can be blended into eachother from the start of the game due to the unusual leveling up grid thing, some of the fundamental features of the game failed quite badly e.g. you have the ability to run around in combat... but if you move away from the enemy after they start doing a melee attack (as to dodge it) you still get hit anyways.

    things like that, a massive disappointment when compared to its former (non-online) games and that list

  • @xSkyHunterr A lot of people do not like XII because of the radical changes it made from other entries in the series. It took out the traditional summons for more zodiac oriented ones that did not give nearly as much a benefit to acquire. The limit system was more generic, and the entire battle system was changed to match a MMO. In addition, Ashe and Vaan look like rehashes of Yuna and Tidus which bugged a number of people. In all, while it was a fun game, I wouldn't say the best.

  • I loved star ocean 3, Ive never gotten a chance to play any of the tales of line of games although Ive seen the anime of abyss.

  • You have great taste in RPGs thats for sure. Tales of the Abyss, Shadow Hearts 1 & 2, and Star Ocean 3 are all my absolute favorites of all time. <3

  • Yay my top 3 RPG's were all on here!

    Kingdom Hearts

    Final Fantasy 10

    Tales of the Abyss (fave of all time!)

    nice list. :3

  • i only have # 5

  • I LOVE Disgaea. I would add LaPucelle Tactics.

  • Dude if were to make such a list i would go crazy!! @_@ it would have been 100 games competing number 1 I would avoperate of all my differente opinions... -_-

  • Okay, what? As much as I like the Star Ocean games, Star Ocean: TTEOT was not a top 5 RPG. It was not a top 10 RPG and I wouldn't even say its a top 15 RPG. Shadow Hearts (the first one) was rated WAY too low. I can't really argue with Persona 3 and SH: Covenant because those two are two of the best PS2 RPGs I've ever played. Never played Tales of the Abyss so I won't comment on it. Again, much like your PS video, thought you had the right games in the wrong order.

  • Tales of Abyss and Shadow Heart Covenant are my top 2 Ps2 Game xD

  • excellent list overall.. tho i hated Tales of the Abyss and Star Ocean. but i do love almost everything else listed

  • the shadow hearts games are amazing :O... definitely underated :( so sad...

  • @Akatsukiboyzgirl

    I like only Covenant...

  • @Akatsukiboyzgirl If only Sony wassmart enough to put it on the Classics service .... i would buy it.

  • Comment removed

  • Tales of the Abyss is my favorite RPG too it was effin awesome I loved every minute of it

  • Star Ocean wasn't better than FFX, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Grandia II on this list! A lot of people don't know about it, it was my first ps2 game lol

  • @JHarmon10 I'm sorry, but Star Ocean is better than FFX. The voice acting in FFX is poor and the battle system sucks. I like being able to literally run up to the enemy and attack it, instead of just sitting there pressing attack, defend, item, overdrive, or any of that standing around bs.

  • @xion8900 Your opinion, but that's probably the minority. I didn't enjoy Star Ocean as much as FFX, although it had the active system & what not. The combat didn't feel deep enough, so many boss battles seemed the same. I am a fan of the turn-based system, you aren't so that might be why you like XIII. I don't so much

  • @JHarmon10 You're right, its all personal preference. is it not? No, I disliked XIII. I watched my friend play it and it got really boring. All the battles seemed the same and the game seemed like a straight path, with little to no open world. I really like XII, if that's what you mean. Although, there is only one RPG game that I absolutely love that has a turn-based battle system. Ever hear of Golden Sun?

  • @xion8900 I misread your reply to the other guy lol yep I know of Golden Sun! An excellent RPG

  • what about dragon quest 8 oh my god..

  • aw no kh2

  • Does anyone know of Dragon Quest VII!

  • Great list!

  • i agree tales is way ahead of person by light years.

  • i loved star ocean!.... i think i've had it for like 10 years... never beat it -_- never buy a game if you don't have hours to commit damn rpg's haha

  • lol @ peoples who are mad about the order of game he chose. I don't agree with him either but that doesn't mean he's retarded or that you should go "WTF FFX #6?!!". If you don't like the list that's fine, but don't cry/whine about it in the comments.

  • is valekerie profile 2 any good?cnt find much about it was gonna pick it up for 3 pound the other day but i opted for killer 7 and yakuza

  • boo no Dragon Quest VIII

  • Was nice until it got to #5. No Grandia 3 is /fail

  • @Johnnykey Grandia 3 is mediocre at best.

  • @LeBronGotNoRing your knowledge about jRPGs is mediocre at best...

  • @Johnnykey FYI I have played all ps2 jrpg, I'll be happy to list em all of you want me to.

  • @LeBronGotNoRing

    List me all (J)RPG's with a Real Time Battle System if you like - that would be really kind xD

    Don't need to add: Odins Phere, Nier, Fragile Dreams, Seiken Densetsu series (and Evermore)

    Thanks!

  • @9snaker

    Maybe not all but here are the one that I've played: Star Ocean 3: TEoT, Rogue Galaxy, Dawn of Mana, Dark Cloud 2; Final Fantasy XII have ATB system but without random encounters, enemies are visible in world, those are for PS2. On PSone Legend of Mana is pretty cool (also have coop mode).

  • @LeBronGotNoRing

    Oh, and Prefering "normal" Fantasy RPG's, like you seein all the time... (but which are round based). And not such as like in "Tales of" where an extra battle screen pops up...

    Thanks!

  • @9snaker Dude I like the "Tales of" franchise just like the other guy. I'm just saying that Grandia 3 is an mediocre game if you compare it to the first two installment.

  • @LeBronGotNoRing lol no need, as you saying that only reaffirms how mediocre your knowledge is.

    And on a sidenote: Grandia 2 here is not even worth mentioning, it's not even amongst the best (PS2) jRPGs at least to anyone that played the perfect/decent DC version.

  • @Johnnykey Grandia III had its moments, but it never turned into something really good... I was hoping it would, but there came a point when I realized that wasn't going to happen. There's a lot of excellent RPGs out there, but this most definitely was not one of them.

  • That song was not Mana Khemia's Disruptor (or my soundtrack CD is wrong).

  • Grandia 3? Persona 4?

  • Glad to see Shadow Hearts 2 so high on the list. And I see Persona 3, but what about Persona 4? Granted, P3 is very good, I thought that P4 improved on P3 in almost every way.

  • you, suckers... play "champions return to arms" or "Champions Of Norrath" there ara a true RPG games

    wacht videos

  • @XPLoXe o 3o how about shadow of the colossus?

  • @XPLoXe I played those boring and dull pointless games...

  • @XPLoXe @trikuc

    Thank you, but do you know such games also as JRPG? (No, "Tales of" do NOT belong to that - I mean.. extra battle screen? c'mon...)

  • never played tales of the abyss......i'll have to check it out

  • forgot persona 4, for me the 3rd o 2nd best game

  • just wondering, p3 or p4, whats better for you

  • @animekidbleachnaruto Persona 4 is more accessible. Persona 3 only allowed control over the main character, raising the difficulty & frustration a bit. Both are excellent games though.

  • @LynnJynh9315 only controlling one character in a tactical rpg is a severe design flaw i would argue it would lower and excellent game to a good game.

  • Did you not play or like PS2 Trapt or FFXII?

  • i miss one game there which easily trumpfs at least number 11 and down..... Ar Tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica! Its graphics arent very awsome but oh lord the battling lvling and story *drool*

  • ToA is the best tales RPG i ever played!

  • @vampireprinze you are the coolest kid ever!

  • @SimplySilph haha im not a kid dude im 27.

  • @vampireprinze

    funny how toa in swedish means toilet xD

  • @vampireprinze nope. tales of somphony dawn of the new world for wii is the best so far. the system with collection monsters makes the game so addictive!

  • Radiata was the shit, that was my favorite rpg

  • Sorry, but by what possible standard is Shadow of Memories an RPG?

  • Another RPG list with games that are not RPG's. might as well call it Games with RPG elements list.

  • I agree with the listing, although I'm having a hard time getting a copy of tales of the abyss. still looking

  • Nice list, I've been trying to find some ps2 rpgs to play while i'm at college so this will definetely help me. Ever play Dark Cloud 2? I think that counts as an rpg, its one of my all time favorites

  • @TubeWizard93 Its a hybrid game

  • @TheViolentvito Yeah, thats what I figured. Its still an awesome game though

  • @TubeWizard93 Yeah its pretty good. Another hybrid game is Act Raiser on SNES. No RPG elements but you build a town and then go into side scroller levels

  • I thought Shadow Hearts 1 was way better than Covenant.

  • @sleepingmOnster. To each is own but limp bizkits sucks.

  • Hey what Game is this theme from? Any game with a battle theme this cool deserves my attention.

  • ToA > FFX?

    WTF!

  • @wollkatze

    duh...

  • Terrible music.

  • I'm surprised someone put Shadow of Destiny in their top games. It was a very interesting game that I don't regret playing. I wouldn't consider it an RPG since its more like an interactive story if anything, but the story was good.

  • Ugh Message! Final fantasy 12, 10 times better than X.

  • @nosajmyles

    LOL. That's the worst Final Fantasy in the series for me since the main character in there is not you can call a main character it's like he is just a shadow in that game and the story SUCKS BIG TIME!!! FFXIII they said it suck also but I haven't played that since I don't have PS3. And FF series for me ended when the father of it left square.

  • there is a reason most of these are unheard of

  • @Maco777111 how are ANY of these unheard of? Just because YOU haven't heard of them doesn't mean anything

  • +10 for putting shadow hearts in here. i absolutely LOVE both those games.

  • ^^

    

  • Good list, but if it was my list I would replace KH with Drakengard 'cause I hate that game.

  • I fucking NEED to re-buy shadow hearts: covenant. I can't believe i traded that one off.

  • FFX #6?! WTF

  • GO SHADOW HEARTS 2!

  • isint this song from mana kemia student alliance ?

  • Persona 3 FES as #2

    I am proud.

  • what was number 7 i couldnt read it

  • Shadow of Destiny isn't an RPG. More like Adventure

  • what games #7?

    and could someone save me time looking through lists and tell me which of these games are not pal uk?

  • Love perona 3

  • What is the bgm playing?

  • #9,6,5,4 and 1 were really good games :D

  • Dunno if you played it before, but I definitely recommend you Wild ARMs 5.

  • Comment removed

  • A little bit of explanation would of been nice.

  • @AlphaOmegaSin

    well did you know about this dude?????

    /watch?v=bRTpGkSWIR8

  • Comment removed

  • I think nocturne should have been higher on the list.

  • No Magna Carta or Tales of Symphonia love..>_>

  • @icexpinex well this top PS2 games <-<
