Must-play JRPGs for this system?

Xenosaga 1 and 3

>>388061092
Suikoden III

Radiata Stories

>>388061092
Shin Megami Tensei III
Shadow Hearts
Persona 3
Persona 4

I highly recommend SMT Nocturne. Persona 3 and DDS are also good. Nocturne is one of my favorite games and the second best JRPG on the console.


DragonQuest VIII is fantastic if you're ok with a slow pace, battle animations and grinding (all alleviated in the 3DS version which has better exp/money rates and a turbo button for battles, or on an emulator)
Final Fantasy X and XII are pretty good.
Suikoden III is only worth it if you've played Suikoden I and II.

The real best JRPG on PS2, and in my top 3 games ever, is Tales of the Abyss. On actual hardware the loading times are really long so try to emulate or play the 3DS version.

Dark Cloud/Chronicle is interesting you like Harvest Moon type games.

Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song. It isn't just a must play PS2 JRPG, it is a JRPG you have to play.

I enjoyed Tales of Eternia for PS1 (PSP port) quite a bit. There's also always Tales of Phantasia if you haven't played that one yet. Avoid the GBA version, go for the PS1 version or one of the PSP versions if you speak Japanese. If you are reaching for less popular Tales games, Tales of Innocence for DS has a fan patch and is pretty fun. (the Vita remake is better, but not emulatable and doesn't have a fan patch). If you are more hardcore into the Tales series, the Radiant Mythology series for PSP is really fun (crossover game)
