Dragon Quest VIII: Return of the Cursed King is arguably the best game on PS2. Fact. How's that statement sitting with you? It's got you all boiled up, right?
Well, unless you've played through the entire game, like us, then you can pipe down about your Metal Gears, GTAs and your God of Wars. For sheer value for money, you won't find many single-player games that can match Dragon Quest, or even come close.
Level-5 will be hosting the second Vision 2023 event this year on November 29 at 21:00 JST.
Right there with ya. Hope to hear anything about a ni no kuni non mobile game. Please level 5 i beg
Would love a Ni No Kuni 3 or whatever they want to call it. But like you said I want nothing to do with mobile and I am hoping for a console game. Also interested in other games they have to offer on console. I also saw you are playing Star Ocean remake on universal difficulty and I’m doing the same and near the end. Messing around in Fun City atm to try and delay the end a bit hehe. Such a great game
Quite prolific, looking at the anticipated lineup. Decapolice has been on my radar.
For the love of God, Dark Cloud 3 before I shuffle off the mortal coil, please
Level-5, the studio behind the Ni No Kuni and Yo-Kai Watch franchises, stopped operating outside of Japan as their North American business closed as it scaled back in late 2020.
Level 5's business model is to make a hit TV show and then milk it.
Nice when it works, but not so good when they can't make a hit TV show.
Awesome news! Level 5 made so many great games: Dark Cloud 1 & 2, Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest VIII, Ni No Kuni, etc. I can't wait to see what games they make next.
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
