We completely disagree on Degital devil saga- it is at least an 8. The atmosphere, the story, the battle mechanics (expected from SMT) and the characters are all great. The graphics not too shabby for a ps2 title. If you play SMT2, both would be a 9. Nevertheless, cool concept with rating all the ps2 games- I will be following.

Awesome video. I played a lot of rpg's during the ps2 era (Thanks Blockbuster), but when I heard 160 total, wow. I'd be surprised if I hit 1/3 of that. Grandia 3 for instance is one I never played but has a top 3 mechanic for me. Blood/spousal relatives as actual companions/teammates/party members. Children of Morta and modern GoW are the only two I can think of that actually heavily lean into this dynamic which is crazy to me as it has always felt FAR more compelling than the bog standard "Strangers before the game started" or "Childhood friends going on an adventure." There is no way I'm fighting anime gods in a JRPG because the girl that sorta flirts with me or my bro asked me to go on an adventure with them. I'd do it for family in a heartbeat though.

When you play DDS2, keep in mind that the game loves to remove characters from your party to the point I had to restart after 16 hours, because I couldn't stand the grind needed to make the underleved characters become not useless. If you focus on using Cielo and Gale or get the skill for mutual karma, you will be fine.

Dude Tsugunai looks wonky! Why do you like it? That makes me hopeful.

@riksbunkerns Ай бұрын

@@locloudanerpg I love Tsugunai a lot for personal reasons really, discovered it out of the blue like five years ago and I realized through playing that it came at the perfect time for me. The whole game is built upon helping people really, sort of in turn to help yourself. It can feel very gratifying, its nothing more than it is and I love that. It has a certain cozy small town atmosphere to it that some might deem boring but its super homely to me and it really struck a chord, I'm not sure what it is, the drab colors or the almost placeholder character models, it all just hit right. It isn't anything spectacular but thats sort of why I have such a fondness for it. A rich simplicity I guess. I believe for the most part its gotten quite negative reviews over the years but I've honestly learned not to take reviewers opinions for granted lmao, everyone's different

I have legitimately played 93% of all ps2 rpgs . Most of which I have owned a physical copy of. Until you posted that list I had no clue . First ps2 rpg I played was tower of duraga last one I played on the system was grim grimoire . I played 110 on the system and all but a few I’ve played on emulation . I’ve beaten 76% of them and did post game for 60% of that 76% . I actually did the math for these calculations! I’m subscribing just to see your opinion and see how many I share

@dooroflight4156 Ай бұрын

Hey, good video! As you go along playing all these rpgs I wanted to say... be carefull when you get to play the Ar tonelico series. Both games on the PS2 give you a fake ending screen and credit rolls at one point (technically it's an 'ending' but you dont get to experience the final chapters and nothing is concluded in a satisfying manner). I'm worried if your not careful you could end up rating the games after the fake endings and not experience the whole final chapter in those games. Also you forgot to link your spreadsheet in the description. Good luck on the journey!

@locloudanerpg Ай бұрын

Oh crud, thanks for both heads up, I’ll link that now. Also, I’ll make sure to do a little research on Ar Tonelico before starting to make sure I avoid that.

@dooroflight4156 Ай бұрын

@@locloudanerpg Things like those of ar tonelico are somewhat common in jrpgs in general with 'true endings' usually being the actual satisfying conclusions but it's pretty funny in ar tonelico where all 3 games fake you out and you don't see a whole chapter if you don't do things right haha. It's not particularly annoying to do it right either but the fact that bad endings exists can be worrying watching these sorts of reviews. Sorry if I'm being noisy!

If you're going to end up using half points on your scoring system you should use a 1-5 scale instead of a 0-2 scale. It would be cleaner looking, and you'd have the same number of options for scoring. The final score would just be out of 25 instead of 10.

I did pretty ok once I got used to how the moves worked, but I admit to having to look up a couple of the mount puzzles - the ones where you had to make moves in a particular order to clear the board - in order to do so. I also liked Galactrix, but it has issues with crashing that persist to this day(to the best of my knowledge - it's probably been 3 or 4 years since I last tried to play it), so I never finished it.
