who wants to recommend something to me!

[MissLarisha]

im interested in a new RPG for playstation or ps2 console...

but i want to go a bit away from the mainstream... ive played most of the final fantasy series, the chrono trigger/cross series... and i also own legend of dragoon

and im not a fan of the suikoden series...

suggestions please thanks!

Hmm. If you haven't played Wild Arms yet, it's fun. I liked it a lot. Sorta simple, but pretty decent characterization.

Particularly obnoxiously, it doesn't work in any PSX emulator I've tried!

ive always wanted to play wild arms... and ive had many opportunities, but if i start a game, i have not the motivation to continue it!

Wild Arms is a bit slow-starting; I think it only really gets cool around the time when the three chars come together. Of course, I never finished it.

How about Phantom Brave, OKAGE: Shadow King, Forever Kingdom, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht, Legaia 2: Duel Saga, Unlimited Saga, Summoner 2 and Grandia II, and that's just a few on PS2. Playstation probably has hundreds.

Dark Cloud 2. Go get it now!

Then why do you want a new RPG???

Try to find Lunar:Silver Star Story or Lunar 2:Eternal Blue for PSone. They are two of the greatest RPGs ever made.

Wild Arms and Grandia 2 are also good.

Since you like the Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger games, you'll like these. They are all the same style. The Dragon Quest/Warrior games are also like this, so you'd probably like them too.

Blake recommended Dark Cloud 2. It's good, but it's not much like the games that you mentioned. I'd rent that first, because it's a whole different style.

Star Ocean 3 came out a week ago. Here's a review

 

[skysthelimit]

Star Ocean 2 was wonderful, and it's not a typical "Attack, then enemy attacks" type game.

oh i was referring to wild arms 1... not rpgs in general, just that particular game

 

[Breetai]

Ah....

Star Ocean 3 looks pretty cool from the review and pics. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime.

I still recommend Lunar and Lunar 2 above all other RPGs. Just go over to gamefaqs.com and look them up in the Playstation section. I'm not alone by far. Plus, they all come with full soundtracks on CD!

Phantom Brave has been getting pretty good feedback (unlike Star Ocean), so I guess that would be the title to go for.
