[PS2] I'm a bit late to the party, but... Shadow Hearts II is the best RPG on the PS2.

Ah, another Shadow Hearts fan *tear*

The second one is a really awesome game (I HEART the battle system!), but the first one has probably got to be my favorite (finally got it off Ebay, and I've been replaying it~~!). I have yet to play III, although I heard the storyline isn't as strong as the first two (which is what I look for in a game, but meh, it's Shadow Hearts!)

The only problems I have with the second one is:

Spoiler:

They had World War I as a great start into the story, but it felt as though they ignored it after the first few hours. Just my personal preference, but I'd liked if Yuri's party were more involved in the war.

I also didn't like a lot of the humor. In the first Shadow Hearts, it was a awesome blend of macabre horror with witty sarcastic humor. Shadow Hearts 2 had less horror and more humor.

SH1 Yuri was a vulgar and crude bad-ass, while SH2 Yuri,still bad-ass, felt more "toned-down." Dunno; I guess it's just my nostalgia talkin' ;__;

Karen was one of the coolest female hero, but I didn't like the time paradox between her and Yuri either.[spoiler]

Ah, damnit, now I'm in a Shadow Hearts mood. Guess I could go look at my artbook again <3

Jam it back in, in the dark.
