[PS2] In need of an RPG

I take it you're not interested in excellent RPGs for other consoles at all, because other than ToTA, that's about all I would really want to recommend. Some of the other games on your list of unplayed titles are OK, but excellent RPGs are in the minority, and most of them have some kind of flaw that would prevent me recommending them with a clear conscience.

I also would like to endorse the recomendations for Suikoden V, Odin Sphere, and Okami, even though only the first one of those is an RPG in any sense of the term. If you're interested in RPGs on other consoles, then I could add a few more noteworthy recommendations, but maybe you already played them and you just aren't listing RPGs you played on anything but PS2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I am, and it still did. I find the character designs completely unappealing, too. That pretty much killed any interest I might have in it. I tried really hard to like it, because it's the first DQ game to get a release in Europe (I think) so obviously I was excited. Then as soon as I saw the main characters, I knew that I wouldn't find it easy to like this game...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
