What did you think of the first gm final mix?

Can't really say that much, I didn't get very far in it. I did like that you actually learn different attack skills when you pick shield or staff, compared to the original version where you were stuck with the basic combo for almost the entire game. Proud difficulty is harder than the original version's Expert; I was always able to beat Cerberus at the first opportunity in the original version but couldn't in this. I feel kind of mixed because I always thought Expert struck a good balance. There was an extra cutscene early on that showed exactly where Riku ended up after the opening, which I thought was unnecessary and kind of killed the suspense, since it was originally something of a mystery what happened to him for a while.

 

[Augemitbutter]

Yakuza 2

Raidou 2

Ys Ark of Napishtim

are very good candidates.

 

[Reset]

Kingdom Hearts 2

 

[wideface]

I would also say it's Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

I've always been meaning to play Dark Cloud 2. Does GAF like it?

Those with good taste love it.

If you're looking for couch co-op, can't beat Champions of Norrath.

 

[Z3M0G]

BG Dark Alliance, the first one.

Came for this. Fuck yah.

 

[wenaldy]

Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance

 

[Van Bur3n]

I don't remember the PS2 having this scarce a number of action RPGs outside of the weeb shit. Then again, I don't remember playing too many RPGs on the 6th generation of consoles.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Ys Ark of Napishtim

Odin Sphere

Yakuza 1 and 2

Dark Cloud 1 and 2

Half of these games have been released in better forms though.

 

[Synless]

I'll throw my hat in the KH2:FM crowd as well.

 

[zelas]

Yakuza 2
Ys 6
Star Ocean 3
Radiata Stories

 

[TransTrender]

Dark Cloud 2

 

[sh4mike]

Snowblind Studios -- BG and their two CoN titles.

Champions of Norrath gets my vote.

Bought it again this year and it's so much harder than I remember. Still gets my vote though. Pray to God for a chance it'll land on ps4

I like you two.

Me and the wife put stupid amounts of hours into that and Return to Arms. I'd love to see someone with the chops resurrect that Champions IP, Snowblind was the shit back then.

At least a Ps2 on Ps4 Version of the game (with online functions) this game was amazing with 3 friends. Wasnt ubisoft the Pub for the first game (nah, it was only SOE. Thought I saw the Ubilogo the last time I started the game)?

 

[autoduelist]

There are a lot of good games in these pages.

I'll add Digital Devil Summoner to the list. Like demon fusing? Solving mysteries? It's an action version of SMT, what's not to love?

 

[Rapscallion]

Kingdom Hearts 2 for me.

Rogue Galaxy, Dark Cloud 2, and Tales of Symphonia are all great choices as well.
