YO! so I've started getting into playing JRPG's, I have a few like

the Xenosaga series
.Hack GU
Dawn of Mana
and i just bought final fantasy XII

why all the PS2 games?
because their a dime a dozen at Rock30 and they beat most of the modern games made today ... and i like to see how far my rig can emulate :P

anyway so what are your top favorite JRPG's? (preferably for PS2, but all is welcome)

:)

The Persona series, but the first few were the best, and chrono cross... uhm Twewy for the DS (not sure if it exactly fits in that specific genre but its a good game none the less)

missing some but I just woke up :)

there is an anime series that the .hack games are based off

and a couple movies as well.

WHAT!!!...

Go buy it from the PSN.... NOW!!!

You cannot start a thread based on JRPGs and not have played FFVII.

That would be like starting a thread about your favorite Star Wars movie without never watching TESB.

FFVII is the benchmark that every modern FF will be review against, if not openly, the reviewer is unquestionably basing their judgment off the game based on the standard VII laid forth.

It made JRPG's a selling force outside of Japan and ushered in the era of western RPG's.

Also check out Xenogears. Quite possibly the best RPG on the PSX, even better the FFVII IMO.
