According to their GDC presentation, here are the top-selling video games from Level-5.
The list is as long as it would take you to grind through Dragon Quest VIII. Here are the best JRPGs on the PlayStation 2.
Good list, kudos for adding Shadow Hearts, Covenant is probably the best Jrpg most people have not played and what an improvement over the first one (plus ties with Koudelka which is an awesome game as well).
I own all 3 of those games with 2 copies of Koudelka on PS1 just in case one of the four discs crapped out on me . Same with Legend of Dragoon. That’s one thing I want Sony to get back into , JRPGs , action and turned based
Yep, they should have at least 1 Japanese studio with 2 teams in it specialize in JRPG.
The amount of time I bring up Covenant when referring to amazing RPGs is astounding.
I wish I had played the other Shadow Hearts games, didn't know there was so many until later in the PS3 generation, at that point they hard to get for a reasonable price. I only got to play Covenant sadly, hopefully they'll all get ported to modern systems at some point.
Take a look at the libraries of your favorite consoles. I guarantee you, other than a handful of fighting games better suited on the Dreamcast, PS2 still has the best, biggest, and most varied library. Literally something for everyone. JRPGs on PS1 and PS2 really were special.
Edit: the article basically just lists every single JRPG on PS2 lol
Grab your longsword, shield and round up the fantasy archetypes - there are Ice Dragons afoot!
Daav from NoobFeed writes - Nintendo has announced that both the 3DS and Wii U eShops are on the way out. Though the company preempts the news by saying that downloads will still work "for the foreseeable future," that message also implies that your games will disappear at some point. We've enabled consumption at our fingertips, which companies have gladly used to erode the terms of game ownership. As always, convenience comes at a much higher cost down the road and, well, that time has come
I never realized Dark Cloud sold a million.Wow.
Also I easily knew Dragon Quest VIII is their most successful game.
O man "Jeanne d’Arc (PSP) - 220,000 World Wide"- this game deserved so much more than this :(
Dark Cloud 2 also deserves way more than 900k, that game is so awesome, i finished it 3 times, don't remember when i last did with any game. For me that was/is Sonys Zelda.
so why havent we heard anything about a new Dark Cloud since obviously Level 5 has a large fanbase? And Im sure Sony would be glad to publish the game...
Level-5 deserves so much more!
