In the midst of the development of the video game industry is getting more advanced, sometimes see the classic game that had accompanied childhood is a meaningful experience. The main advantage of the classic game series is the quality that is intended for gamer satisfaction and not just a profit.
The RPG genre is one of the best examples. Because although many modern RPG series that looks phenomenal, the charm has never lost the attention of gamers to this day. For that special article, I will summarize the list of 10 RPG games full of memories from the legendary PlayStation 2 console.
10. Rogue Galaxy
For most gamers who try this series for the first time, the satisfaction of playing is definitely one of the many advantages to be had. In Rogue Galaxy you act as a hunter named Jaster Rogue, a hunter who finds himself trapped in a space pirate plane. The game is quite slow, but the story plot becomes much more interesting and serious amid the game.
9. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
Present as the third series, Till the End of Time is actually one of the best and gives a different charm than the second series. A more futuristic theme approach may not have been much liked by gamers of its time, but the emotional storyline of the Fayt Leingod character has covered many of its facade deficiencies. In essence, this game could end up being a series that you like or not. To find the exact answer, you must be obliged to try it directly.
8. Suikoden V
Not as phenomenal as the two series are, but to maintain self-esteem as a sequel, Suikoden V succeeds in providing an RPG experience that remains solid and exciting. Falena's world setting of this game takes time before the first to third series, which makes this game actually a prequel to its status as a sequel.
Even so, you should finish the previous series before playing this game, because some familiar characters from the Suikoden series also appear as supporting characters.
7. Xenosaga
If you have time to play Xenogears and end up liking it, then certainly you will not be disappointed with Xenosaga. Released as a live prequel of Xenogears, this game offers one of the most interesting storylines compared to most JRPGs that tend to be linear.
Not to mention some main characters such as android COS-MOS, managed to turn the story with character traits and memorable characteristics. Because the plot is quite confusing, maybe some gamers will have difficulty in understanding this game as a whole.
6. Kingdom Hearts I & II
Blending the world of the Square Enix franchise with Disney did sound strange at first, but who would have thought that this concept worked out to be a phenomenal work of Kingdom Hearts franchise. In the first and second series, you act as the main character named Sora who is brought in a magical adventure with Disney characters. Do not judge a book by its cover, is probably the most appropriate adage to describe this game as a whole.
5. Person 3
After the debut of his first two unsuccessful yet potentially promising series, Atlus finally decided to release the third sequel of Persona which is a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. With so many changes from the gameplay mechanism and the more stylish overall presentation, the Persona franchise has finally gained popularity in the western market.
Not wanting to miss this momentum, two years later Atlus finally released its fourth sequel which is even more perfect again. Although overall Persona 4 has better gameplay and presentation quality, Persona 3 is a series that started big changes from Atlus and some elements in it are also still more superior today.
4. Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Behind its low popularity in various countries including Indonesia, Shadow Hearts: Covenant is actually one of the best RPG games ever released on the PlayStation 2.

This game combines real-world concepts with fantasy elements, which makes it feel very special.
3. Final Fantasy X

Solid storyline, memorable characters, solid turn-based battle mechanism, to one of the most romantic love stories in video game history. There is no reason for you to miss this one game.
2. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Most unfamiliar gamers with Dragon Quest will surely assume that this series is a Dragon Ball game . Not surprisingly, of course, because the art direction of this franchise has been handled by Akira Toriyama itself since the debut of its first series. The concept and the storyline are simple, but Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Cursed King offers something more special.
All aspects ranging from story paths, characters, conflicts between heroes and wicked magicians, gameplay mechanisms are completely faithful to the classic flavors. As if a legacy that can not die, Dragon Quest VIII is still one of the best RPG games that are recognized to date.
1. Person 4
Only about one year after the third series was released, Atlus again surprised the gamer with an even better sequel Persona . In Persona 4 you are still offered with the same scenario, which is high school kids who live everyday life while unraveling the mystery of another world.
It sounds weird indeed, but realizing it in an RPG with social sim element turns out to be a brilliant idea. Due to its popularity and sweet success, Atlus has finally re-released this game in an enhanced version titled Persona 4 Golden, which actually improves its quality.
