[PS2] In need of an RPG

Sorry if this is another cliche thread. Admins can delete it if you want. I can post it in my journal instead.

Anyways, I finished FFXII, which was good enough to pass the time. I started Odin Sphere, but it's been getting frustrating (On Book 2 alread) because, yes, I can't play this game for shit. I'm planning on taking a break from it (I was on the verge of slamming my controller >.>) but there are too many games to choose from. Whoever mentions FFX-2 should hang themself =P

I've played...
- All Shin Megami Tensei
- All of Xenosaga
- Shadow Heart I/II
- Disgaea I/La Puccelle <3
- Every FF game -- need more ><
- Kingdom Hearts I/II
- Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits

I have but haven't started:
- Tales of the Abyss
- Radiata Stories
- Dragon Quest VIII

Considering:
- Rogue Galaxy
- Grandia III
- Valkyrie Profile II
- Shadow Hearts III

I'm looking for something epic, story-wise -- not too simple. But I don't want the difficulty level of gamplay so outrageous that I want to pull a VT.

Any help would be appreciated. =)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the suggestions! It's official... I'm going to start Abyss =D And if I get bored of that, I'll just move down the list .__.''

I did rent VP1, and I thought it was good. A little hard, but good. I didn't get to finish the game though, fucking BS 3-day rental. But I'll definitely try VP2 after Abyss.

And screw Shadow Hearts 3 now. LOL. Same with Grandia 3. And I'm still hesitant with Radiata Stories.

Okami's an RPG? RPG-action? I was meaning to try that but I never found a decent torrent, I mean... no cash. =/

edit: Yeah, I played KH I/II. I didn't like II so I gave up on that. And I've played all of the FF =(

How about Suikoden III? It was one of the first games to come out for the ps2.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just started Dragon Quest VIII and Abyss. Abyss seems alright, the battle system is kinda like Star Ocean which I loved. The story seems interesting enough at the start -- very mysterious =O

Dragon Quest is fucking gorgeous O_O I spent 3 hours playing the game basically wandering the world map. I'm shallow like that. But it seems good so far. The story isn't very engaging. I think it's basically going to towns and helping solve that mystery, get the next clue, move onto the next area. I could be horribly wrong. Also, I hate that you can only save in the church and can only heal at the inn. I'm guessing the other DQ games are like this? It adds to the challenge, but it keeps me at the edge of my seat when I'm at critical and I want to get the hell out of there.

I'll continue to play these two games for now. Until one of them gets boring. =D

Oh, and about Kingdom Hearts II. I'm in the first visit to Aladin's world. My friend has the game but she's not going to give it back for a while. I think she sleeps with it. =S

How ya doing, buddy?

Wow, now I feel bad. I'm 15 hours into DQ8, and it has gotten extremely boring. I'm right where I get to explore the Western Continents.

It's time to try another game. xD

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Now that I'm taking a break from Odin Sphere, Dragon Quest, and Tales of the Abyss... I started Rogue Galaxy. xD It's my favourite out of the four so far. I'm praying it doesn't get boring... but whatever, I'll just start Valkyrie Profile 2. But hey, at least I can save ever 5 minutes, instead of going to the church. There's so many savepoints in RG I'm practically saving every 2 minutes anticipating a boss fight, but nothing. Except maybe a mimic chest that does extreme damange.

(Downloaded these two RPGS thanks to Premium account on Megaupload <3)

I was speaking idiomatically.
