Had to be done :-D

Steambot Chronicles out this week in Uncle Sam land for all the importers, looking quite tasty even if it is a Action RPG game. Nice Katamari Damacy style controls make it more interesting though

I need some recommendations, I haven't played on the PS2 for a long time and the last RPG I did was FFX :( can anyone suggest some really good RPGs?

Thanks. :)

Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King
Dark Chronicle
Final Fantasy X-2
Champions of Norrath

and if you haven't tried it yet:

Drakkan: The Ancients' Gates

Steer clear of FFX-2, just a fan-service of a game that didn't actually serve anyone.

Dragon Quest VIII is quality though.

Other recommendations:

Disgaea
Makai Kingdom
Atelier Iris
Shadow Hearts 2
Suikoden 3

I'm pretty sure they've all come out in Europe

(Except for me, I thought it was funky and still play it)

Except FM

Just to add (because i think this could have potential) Anyone seen the video to FF XIII? Wow was my reaction at first, but then I felt kind of empty... it just feels like square enix are diversifying too much in this series.

Mine was a "What the hell?" followed by a sigh as it seems like it's going in the all action direction. Obviously it was only a small trailer and FFXII isn't even out here yet let alone starting to be cynical about FFXIII but it did make my heart sink.

Ah well i stopped caring about the FF franchise ages ago

I didnt get the whole XIII and Vs XIII.

There are two games and they are both set in the same world but do the stories and characters cross or are they completely seperate?

If they are completely different (which is what I think I read) then we could get two different styles of play.

Also, is Kingdom Hearts any good?

Well after a quick 2 minutes on gamefaqs i've read FFXIII will be more of a traditional battle system while VS XIII will be more of a Kingdom Hearts style battle system. Could be completely wrong but then i've not really been following it closely.

If you like action RPG's then KH is a good game, however if you're like me and absolutely loathe that system, finding it boring and requiring zero skill then stay away from it. I only played KH2 for about 30 minutes and had to switch it off after hearing Seifer say *You're just mad because we totally owned you lamers*
