PS2 RPG recommendations

[SkyMyl]

Yeah, in a similar vein to a couple of other threads, I'm asking NSFCD for help. My PS2 library is shallow, filled primarily with Square-Enix games, namely FFX, FFX-2, KH1, KH: Re:CoM, KH2, and Final Fantasy XII. I recently picked up Shadow of the Colossus, to diversify the library a little, but it's not enough.
"diversify the library"? Does that even mean anything?

I'm looking for PS2 RPGs. And I want you, the members of NSF, to help me with this. List some PS2 RPGs that I can hunt for at my local Gamestop/Amazon, because I'm going to be sending in my Wii, and I'll be needing a good RPG to last me a while. Maybe two. I've also been eying Mana Khemia for a while, so if anyone here has played it, which is unlikely, would it be worth investing in?
One song does not define a game. You said it yourself when you finished FFX.

*Looks at games interested in for PS2* This is too easy.

.Hack (Part 1-4; Part 1 takes long enough on it's own)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Nocturne
Dragon Quest 8/VIII
Xenosaga
Odin Sphere

Should be enough to keep you occupied. Need anymore?

[SkyMyl]

Need anymore?

...are you saying that you have more to recommend?

If so, then keep going.

[Syncopathic]

MOTHERFUCKING TALES OF THE ABYSS.
GET THAT FUCKER RIGHT NOW.
You won't be disappoint. And everything TK has said.

[Thirdkoopa]

If so, then keep going.

Sure.

Star Ocean
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
Disgaea 2
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Star Saga
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
Shadow Hearts
Valkyria Profile 2
Rogue Galaxy
Grandia 3
Phantom Brave
Suidoken IV

And If you want more just click this. Should be easy enough.

Less quality than the ones I listed for most but yeah. PS2 is mainly built upon being a household to having a poopload of RPG's as I said in my RPG post. Though some of them like the Shin Megami Tensei games (Nocturne, DDS, etc), Dragon Quest VIII, and Tales of the Abyss are quite high in quality

Holy poop you don't have Dragon Quest 8? The game is so good it makes up for every other main DQ game being poopty. Get it.

Also:

Star Ocean Till the End of Time
Tales of the Abyss
Persona 3
Shin Megami Tensea Nocturne
Musashi: Samarai Legend

Which Square game was it that let you have like 100 party members? Whatever it was, it sucked. Don't get it. lol

[SkyMyl]

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into them.

Also, I got curious and decided to search for Xenosaga Episode 1 on Amazon. This is my result.

[Zero]

Find it at a Gamestop, because it sure as hell isn't worth 75 dollars

I'm sure it's worth more than four dollars, but it's certainly available for such a price.

Do what you have to do. It's a pretty great game if you can stand 2 hour long cutscenes.

[SkyMyl]

Sounds like the RPG equivilant of MGS4.

[Magnum]

Lets see...

Persona: Check
Tales: Check
Odin Sphere: Check

They even added in Xenosaga. I am not needed.

[Broken_Cartridge]

I agree with all the recommendations except for Musashi...I found it to be rather dull.

I personally enjoyed it, not a AAA game or anything but still worth the 5 bucks or so you'll end up paying for it.

@OP:

MEGA MAN X COMMAND MISSION

not holy poop amazing but definitely worth whatever you'd find it for, probably under 15 bucks

[SkyMyl]

My brother and I already played through Command Mission. Otherwise, I would've started searching for it.
