PS2 and RPGs go hand and hand. So many great ones. My whole PS2 backlog (With the exception of The Getaway Black Monday) is nothing but RPGs. Wild Arms 3, Arc The Lad Twilight Of The Spirits, Shadow Hearts Covenant, Star Ocean Till The End Of Time, Dark Cloud 2, Suikoden III & V, Dragon Quest VIII, and I almost forgot, the Xenosaga trilogy, Persona 3 FES, SMT Nocturne, and Chaos Wars. (There's also Drakengard 2, but I don't have the first one.) Need to get the Tales games, Raidiata Stories, Drakan, Grimgrimoire, Stella Deus, Shadow Hearts 3, Shining Force Neo & EXA, Rouge Galaxy, and Shadow Hearts 3. Love Shining Tears, and Shadow Hearts.
Fantastic video as always! I love how you talk about these games. You have a way of convincing me to go back and either pickup a game or go back and give one another shot. I've found the I'm often glad I did.
I gotta tell you, i like your videos a lot. The way you describe the games really gives me an understanding of them! And since i love rpgs, especially jrpgs, this is exactly for me!
I'm glad you came back with another great video. One of the best channels on RUclips. In each of your videos I learn about games that I did not know before. Greetings from Greece!
Fantastic having you back! Pulled the trigger finally on Rogue Galaxy....you convinced me and I am sure it’s only going to go up in price. Keep up the great work!
Welcome back brother! I’ve always enjoyed your in depth reviews and references. You’re a true gamer and it shows in your knowledge. Hope you’re doing well and looking forward to your future posts ✌🏼
Love your videos dude. The ending from Drakengard that ties into Nier is when the dragon appears in the modern city and is shot down. Supposedly the Black Scrawl virus is from the ashes of the dragon. Those Cavia games always had this great, dark and oppressive tone. It's a pretty run of the mill third person shooter, but I loved the tone and atmosphere in Bullet Witch.
Fantastic video! Dark Cloud 2 and Rogue Galaxy are some of my favorite games of all time. It's insane what Level 5 managed to pull off with Rogue Galaxy in particular and a huge shame so many people missed out on it. I recently picked up a Steam Deck and have been looking for some classic PS2 RPGs to dive into. This video was a great place to start!
Always love of hearing about new RPGs, especially from you.This and the gen before we missed a lot in the PAL territory. Been a fan for a long time and imports are the way forward...
I spent most of the PS2 era playing PC games (MMOs mostly), so I basically missed out on most of that generation. About 10 years back I bought all the PS2 games I thought I would want back when those games were like $5-10 a piece shrinkwrapped. I have all of these games in my collection. Sounds like I need to get on the freaking ball and play these damn games.
Welcome back. Now i wanna experience Rogue Galaxy (dual layer disc. Maybe a súper long game? Or too much ultra graphics?) I really enjoy Odín Sphere, Okami and Valkyrie Profile 2. I think Rogue Galaxy is gonna be epic. Thanks for the recomendations! Grettings from Argentina.
Man it's been awhile and what better way to return with a video talking about games on an iconic system. These are definitely titles that I've always wanted to get into but damn some of these are hard to find, if only Sony could port some of these digitally than that would be amazing. Drakengard is the only one in this vid I've played and the game wasn't all that bad up until the end, like if you were able to get the final ending props to you because just knowing what you had to do to get it made me rage-quit the title altogether. Anyway, great vid man!
easy question for me shadow hearts. along with the SMT games, DQ8, growlanser series and ar tonelico just to name a few with the many great ones. im glad your back man
Josh man, great to see you back with another vid. The PS2 library is still new to me (I was a Gamecube man back in the day). Thanks for the gaming education! 👍 ✊
We need a best rpg video for the ps4 or most underrated ps4 rpg games ! I look to you for all my rpg games I’ve bought all the ones you have recommended over the years thank you gamez of War!!!!
Cool that you returned, love your videos & I gotta say that Switch collection in the back is massive already! Great games you mentioned here, my favorite RPG on PS2 is definitely Shadow Heart 2, what a masterpiece, the whole trilogy is amazing!
Drakan: The Ancient's Gate is one of the lesser known great games on PS2. I played it back when it launched with some friends and we all really liked it!
I have most of these RPGs. *Great vid.* It's good to see someone cover Tales of Legendia, which is actually in my top 5 favorite Tales of games. It was handled by a collaboration of 2 of Namco's dev teams -- Namco's Tales Studio along with devs from the company's Tekken & Soulcalibur fighting game series, which is why it feels so different. I love it, especially the character quests at the end. A few of my favorite Tales games are 2D -- Phantasia, Destiny, & Legendia. Destiny's my fave. Drakan is awesome, too.
Stellar lineup for sure! And still to this day, I still haven't played every JRPG on that console! It might probably never happen, but the fact that they're are so many to choose from is part of the charm I guess! Great video and keep up the good work!
Looking back at all the consoles, I think that the PS2 was a winner for me, the best and I've owned them all since PS1 era. Just thinkng about all the classics, Metal Gear Solid. I played Dragon Quest 8 5 years ago for the first time on PS2 and was blown away, the voice acting, the story etc. the very best. These RPGs are a little less well known than Dragon Quest. What do u think about Microsoft taking over Bethesda.
So awesome to see some a new vid from you!! Def nice to see radiata stories part of this. Please when you can post your switch collection or of what youve playing on it, been curious of what else i should get for it ! Thank you! ^___^
You can tell that you are passionate about this and it shows. I always right down the games you review and search them specifically when buying online. I have never been disappointed. You have immaculate taste, if you say it’s good, you can take it to the bank.
Recently I've been using the PCSX 2 emulator to play PS2 games on my PC. It enhances and makes these games look so much better. I specifically bought an external LG DVD player to use the original PS2 discs to play them. It's like having a built in PS2 inside your gaming PC it's just fantastic.
The downside by using pcsx2 is that sometimes the games tend to be slow likes in slow motion speed and I had to experimenting the settings to fixed it which takes a bit of time.
Was trying to decide between Radiata Stories and Valkyrie Profile 2 as my next jrpg after finishing shin megami tensei on snes. Think I'll have to go with Radiata now after seeing this!
First time viewer of one of your videos here. Great video covering some lesser known or at least some non-mainstream games. Only thing is, and don't take this the wrong way, just some constructive criticism but I think you talk a bit too fast at times. I had to back track quite a few times and even turn on CC to catch what you were saying. But I did enjoy your summary of these games. Keep up the good work. A well deserved 👍 from me
Oh Josh, I enjoy your videos so much! It all feels so genuine and the way you talk about these games, makes me feel the love for videogames in general :) I'm already looking forward to next week's vid, and if I might be so bold as to make a request: I'd love to hear your thoughts about next gen, there's definitely been some interesting developments with Microsoft buying Zenimax.
The legend returns.
Correction the myth and legend returns 😆
Rejoice friends!
Hell yes.
Ya boyyyy

We're back ladies and gentlemen! Glad to see you back brother 🙏🏾
Yes sir!! Thx for tuning in!
Welcome back to the RUclips Sphere! My Friend ,Hope to see more frequent uploads in the future
Yes man! Gonna try!
Love your videos dude. The ending from Drakengard that ties into Nier is when the dragon appears in the modern city and is shot down. Supposedly the Black Scrawl virus is from the ashes of the dragon. Those Cavia games always had this great, dark and oppressive tone. It's a pretty run of the mill third person shooter, but I loved the tone and atmosphere in Bullet Witch.
Yea, that’s it..been awhile so my memory was fuzzy on it..I also like bullet witch!
ah yes, Bullet Witch is a guilty pleasure of mine, a great looking game even if the gameplay doesn't do it justice!
OMG The Best Reviews on RUclips!!! So Glad You're Back!!!!
Thx so much man!
Yes, good to see you back man!
Good to be back bro!
Fantastic video!
Dark Cloud 2 and Rogue Galaxy are some of my favorite games of all time. It's insane what Level 5 managed to pull off with Rogue Galaxy in particular and a huge shame so many people missed out on it.
I recently picked up a Steam Deck and have been looking for some classic PS2 RPGs to dive into. This video was a great place to start!
Always love of hearing about new RPGs, especially from you.This and the gen before we missed a lot in the PAL territory. Been a fan for a long time and imports are the way forward...
No PAL releases: Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Legendia, Xenosaga 1 and 3, Radiata Stories, Fullmetal Alchemist games. There is probably more...
Yup
Welcome back! Missed seeing you! :)
Thx a lot!
I don't usually comment on videos but it's good to have you back dude!
Glad you enjoy enough to comment bro!
I thought the pandemic got you man .. thank God! Great show, great channel.. keep em coming . All the best !
Avoided the virus so far man!🤞🏻
I spent most of the PS2 era playing PC games (MMOs mostly), so I basically missed out on most of that generation. About 10 years back I bought all the PS2 games I thought I would want back when those games were like $5-10 a piece shrinkwrapped. I have all of these games in my collection. Sounds like I need to get on the freaking ball and play these damn games.
That’s nice being able to clean up on a a console for low prices...I did that in 97/98 with the Saturn
YES! YOU’RE BACK! I missed ya.
U too bro!!
Welcome back. Now i wanna experience Rogue Galaxy (dual layer disc. Maybe a súper long game? Or too much ultra graphics?) I really enjoy Odín Sphere, Okami and Valkyrie Profile 2. I think Rogue Galaxy is gonna be epic. Thanks for the recomendations! Grettings from Argentina.
It’s is epic man, perfect word to describe it!
Boom, the man is back!!
Time for some more in detail amazing stories and recommendations!
Great topic. Always appreciate your videos a lot
Thanks for tuning in!
YES , my Friday night has been saved !!
Glad I could help bro!
@@GamezOfWar Was able to pick up a cheap copy of Shadow Hearts today , can't wait to dive into. I always enjoy you recommendations , 👊
Welcome Back!!! Great to see you :)
Shadow Hearts I & II are top ten all time games for me.
Great games for sure!
Your videos are the best.

Rouge Galaxy would have to be my favorite of the bunch. All amazing games listed for sure.

I had to look it up, out of sheer frustration man..I put in all that time, I had to see it thru properly...not proud of it, but had to be done
Amazing video!
Thx bro!

Josh man, great to see you back with another vid. The PS2 library is still new to me (I was a Gamecube man back in the day). Thanks for the gaming education! 👍 ✊
Man, you have a lot to catch up on bro.,the PS2 library is massive, most are exclusive to the console!

Thx for tuning in!
Welcome back love your videos ! What are you playing now ?
Judgment on ps4!!
Drakan: The Ancient's Gate is one of the lesser known great games on PS2. I played it back when it launched with some friends and we all really liked it!
Yea man, I was really impressed with it back in the early days of the PS2! Great game!
I’ll have to check our Rogue Galaxy , looks good, thanks for the info
It’s a great game for sure!
nice video, hope everyone is doing well and safe. ps2 is a really beloved system, missed mine as i have sold it.
TY brother for the new videos. we been waiting ;))
Glad your enjoying them!
Was so excited to see this pop up in my feed
Hope you enjoy bro!
I have most of these RPGs. *Great vid.* It's good to see someone cover Tales of Legendia, which is actually in my top 5 favorite Tales of games.

.....oh, and I *LOVE* Radiata Stories (a couple of the same devs & character designer as Radiant Historia).
(Radiata & Radiant are both works of art).
Stellar lineup for sure! And still to this day, I still haven't played every JRPG on that console! It might probably never happen, but the fact that they're are so many to choose from is part of the charm I guess! Great video and keep up the good work!
So much on the PS2, the library is so diverse!
Some great choices as always!
Hope your enjoy man!

I’m not sure about Microsoft man, it seems after the 360 they gave up on exclusives..
I guess we will have to see if anything changes.
He’s back!
Yezzir!
Finally, you're back!
Yezzir!
You’re back! Yes!
Rejoice, the man is back :) kudos from Belgium ❤️
Yes sir!! Thx for tuning in bro!
So awesome to see some a new vid from you!! Def nice to see radiata stories part of this.
Please when you can post your switch collection or of what youve playing on it, been curious of what else i should get for it ! Thank you! ^___^

Happy to hear my credit is good with you!! T thx for watching!
HES BACK 👏
Thx man!
Going to play these using the PCSX2 emulator. Thanks for bringing these to our attention.

I was gonna include Profile 2 on this list...they are both great games, Rogue Galaxy is my fav tho.
First time viewer of one of your videos here. Great video covering some lesser known or at least some non-mainstream games. Only thing is, and don't take this the wrong way, just some constructive criticism but I think you talk a bit too fast at times.

Quality > Quantity
Welcome back!
PlayStation 2 is legendary
Thx man, I agree with PS2
Oh Josh, I enjoy your videos so much! It all feels so genuine and the way you talk about these games, makes me feel the love for videogames in general :) I'm already looking forward to next week's vid, and if I might be so bold as to make a request: I'd love to hear your thoughts about next gen, there's definitely been some interesting developments with Microsoft buying Zenimax.
Yea man, I’ve gotten quite a few requests to talk about the newer gen launches...I’m thinking that will make a great video!
Another list of ps2 games that I now want to get thank you again amazing videos 👍✅
Bro you gotta do a switch collection video
Yea i will for sure! Great idea!
