Okay. Acting on kupomogli's advice, I'm starting a thread about recommendations. I'm keeping this to Playstation 2 RPGs so that is at least some limit to the scope involved.
The format I'm going for here is starting with the games I've played and do recommend, and then a list of games I'm considering next. Feel free to chime in with your own lists and feedback, and any recommendations you want to put forward.
Games I've Played And Recommend:
Final Fantasy XII
Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny
Romancing SaGa (AKA Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song, recommended for enthusiasts only)
Ar Tonelico: Melodies of Elemia (probably misspelled that)
Rogue Galaxy
Tales of Legendia
Tales of The Abyss
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Games I've Played and Neutral On (I tend to like them, but recognize their flaws and see why others don't like them):
Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana
Suikoden IV
Phantom Brave
Currently Seeking Opinions:
Legaia II: Duel Saga
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
I'm also more than willing to hear any opinions and recommendations regarding other PS2 RPGs. The Backlog of Glory always have some room in it!
