OPM: How much do you think people are willing to play for an old PlayStation game or a rare collector’s editions? A few hundred? A few thousand? Here are some of the most expensive PS1, 2 and 3 games ever bought or sold.
Universal Entertainment recently filed a trademark for its well-known critically-acclaimed PlayStation 2 series, Shadow Hearts, in Japan.
I have a foggy memory of this one. Do remember that it was pretty fun back in the day. That thumbnail reminds me of the upcoming Wukong game. Excited for that one.
omg yes please!!
i loved this freaking game! and the way your character transforms is so cool.
It’s foolish to say that one RPG is "better" than all the rest across systems and generations. This is merely the 25 RPGs we feel are the best and nothing more!

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.
OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2
I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.
Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.
You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.
I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.
In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.
Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.
As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.
HPP: We were blown away by your response to our piece on series in need of a revival. So here are ten more series we’d love to see given new life.
Article is on point having Dino Crisis and rival schools but i would add...
Parasite Eve
Strider
Devil Survivor
Onimusha
Siren
Fear effect
Megaman X
Jet Set Radio
And those are just the ones i can think of right now.
I remember being really hyped in highschool when they were talking about doing more JetSet; then nothing came of it and radio silence.
Still some of the best soundtracks in gaming.
Another Fear Effect would be awesome too. A very underrated game that not many talk about anymore.
Jet Set Radio was actually on the original list of 10.

A lot of the others were too recent to meet the date cut off I set, I was really looking for series that had been gone awhile.
Parasite Eve had The Third Birthday release 11 years ago.
The most recent Strider game was only 7 years ago.
Devil Survivor 2 was only 9 years ago.
Onimusha Soul released in 2012. I considered not counting mobile games but I was looking for series that publishers aren't even trying to get anything out of.
Siren is close but the last installment was 13 years ago. Honestly was never into the series though so likely wouldn't have made it regardless. Definitely know it has its fans though.
Fear Effect Sedna stunk but was a new game and was only 3 years ago.
Mega Man X I kind of counted as part of the larger Mega Man series, though even if I didn't the new mobile game would probably have kept it off the list.
Lots of great choices there though. I'd love to see a new installment of most of them.
For some reason I got Cold Fear and Fear Effect mixed up when I made my comment lol.
I'd like to see another Cold Fear. Even a remake would be great.
Xenosaga, Wild Arms, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono franchise with Cross and Trigger, Resistance, Xenogears, Twisted Metal, Silent Hill, Turok, Ar Tonelico, Ar Nosurge, Breath of Fire, Siren, Clock Tower, Kid Icarus, Splatterhouse, Enslaved Journey to the West I love that game such a sleeper hit it so needs a sequel.
My picks would be
- Soul Reaver
- Viewtiful Joe
- SSX
- Onimusha
- Capcom vs Snk 3
- Playstation Allstars Battle royal
Kudos for putting Tactics Ogre on the list. I have no idea why we aren't getting a new one, or Final Fantasy Tactics for that matter too.
I'm still looking for an affordable english version of aquanauts holiday for the ps3. 5 years later and still no such luck.
Luckily ico and sotc was rereleased on the ps3..
They forgot:
1) Tales of Destiny PS1 = $500
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...
2) Tales of Destiny 2 PS1 = $250
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...
3) Vagrant Story PS1 = $150
http://www.amazon.com/Vagra...
But man, that UC2 Fortune Hunter Ed price is overkill! >.<
only one I have it's Megaman Legends 2 but I think the Tron Bonne game is more expensive.
I have a shadow heart and LOD unopened copies at my mothers place maybe it's time to dig them out.
Most of these games on the list are not even half the price they had shown. I own a used game store and, using Mega Man 2 Legends as an example, we have it for $55. Legend of Dragoon is a $15 game.
These titles are grossly overpriced in this article and it seems like they grabbed the highest listed eBay price rather than doing any research.
