Game Informer - I’ll be the first to admit that Grandia III doesn’t set the gold precedent for storytelling and characterization. Still, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some wonderfully crafted scenes throughout the tale. One scene I reminisce about is the main character, Yuki, deciding to leave home for the first time. Perhaps the scene resonated so strongly with me because it coincided with my life; at the time, I was leaving my family behind every year to go out-of-state for college. The scene strikes a chord because it’s driven by such relatable emotions.
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).
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
Many people have a love for the Jrpg genre. There are many games that show how brilliant it is, so here are 5 games you should revsit.
O how i miss old school jrpgs. They dont make them much anymore. Sea of stars is looking pretty good. And maybe a few others but not many
Hopefully Dragon Quest III remake releases sometime next year. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 releases in 2 months so I'll have my rpg fix this year.
Noisy Pixel talks with GungHo CEO Kazuki Morishita about remastering Grandia III or returning to the series for a proper Grandia IV.
I have been waiting for Grandia 4 for years. Grandia 3 was on the PS2, so long ago. It's time for a new Grandia
But Grandia III was published by Square Enix, wasnt it?? I dont think thats exactly GunGo´s decision...
But apart from that, I NEED GRANDIA ON PS4.
