"Now that Sony is bringing PS2 games upscaled in 1080p and also includes trophies on the PlayStation 4, many JRPG gamers got excited with this idea as the PS2 had some of the best JRPGs ever released on any platform. If you grew up playing JRPGs on the Playstation 2, now is the time to get excited as maybe your all-time favorites will make a debut on the PlayStation 4." - JPS
With the Remaster release date finally announced we ranked the 5 mainline Suikoden games of the series!
One of the best JRPG series of all time is the Suikoden series. So let's talk about the 5 main games and each of their respective True Runes.
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
How about every JRPG released on the PS2? That seems about right.
And i want FFXII on PS4 now!

PS2 era is the golden era of JRPGs, so it would be awesome if these games are released for PS4 as well.
Quite liked one of the hack games. Never finished it and haven't a clue where it's gone so I wouldn't mind giving that another go.
EVERY JRPG PLEASE
Not upscaled, rendered in 1080p. All upscaled would mean is that the game takes up the entire screen instead of only the pixels it would require (or maybe set to a 4:3 aspect)
