PS2 RPG and horror games

[manuel]

I like good RPGs (and action-adventures a la Zelda) and since I have a PS2 now (well, for some months now) I wondered if you could recommend me some good ones?
I like traditional turn-based battles btw...

I have Final Fantasy X-2, Dragon Quest VIII, Dragon Quest V, and Seiken Densetsu 4 for now and I'm planning to get FFX and XII later of course.

Odin Sphere does seem interesting. Anybody already played that?

dark cloud has gameplay like zelda you might want to try that. Also try Grandia 3 the battle system is awesome.

I had Grandia III on my order list from that store the last day, but it was sold out, so I didn't get it.

And of course I forgot Okami.  I already have that. It's on the way right now from Japan to Germany in a big parcel together with other game stuff. I hope it will arrive some time in June.
I hope it's as good as all people say.

Thanks for the other hint. I haven't even heard of that "Dark Cloud" before. I'll surely have a look at that one.

My favorite PS2 RPG is Tales of the Abyss. It's everything Symphonia is made better. Except for the overworld framerate drop. But thats minor.

My favorite game ever is Okami. It's everything every game ever is, only made better

fixed

Jedi, did you hack into kite's account?

[satoshi_matrix]

Okami is good no question, but its an RPG? really?

[FamicomFreak]

Get Dawn of Mana I heard it's good!

[kite200]

No jc, he didn't. I just felt it was a good one. Anyhow, okami isnt really an rpg but the original post in this thread does mention action adventure ala zelda and okami is basically like that

[manuel]

Yeah, thanks for the recommendations, guys. I missed out on a series of great games over the years.

@kite200: that was a good one.

[satoshi_matrix]

I still suggest you check out Tales of the Abyss. Its one of my all time favorite RPGs.

[manuel]

I'm not such a fan of the "Tales" series, but I might as well give it another try if I run into it for cheap.

I'm trying to build a decent collection of RPGs and Horror games for the PS2. I just want to know which games you suggest...I already hit many of them including the Suikoden series as well as Final Fantasy. There is a horror series I want so bad called Fatal Frame but the games are expensive as hell even though they came out years ago. I did picked up Persona 3 as well and will pick up Persona 4 when the price lowers. I'm currently working on finding Suikoden 5 and the Silent Hills but would like to know of any more of the interesting games out there. Thanks for the help in advance!

Shadow Hearts: Covenant is dark and an RPG.  Also:
