Erick Landon is a hidden gem! Great video, mate!

Glad your going to do this for all the major console's in time. This was a tremendous fun watch

The PlayStation always did have the best JRPGs.

Ps2 was a jrpg paradise. Huge selection of jrpg games you can play on that platform.

I'm searching for Grandia here, but damn... Its so nostalgic to watch all of them in this video. I played most of those games in the list, but I regreted some, because I haven't finished it yet. My PS2 got broken before I had the chance to. Shame.

Great video. I'm trying to get back into Jrpgs and play alot of the old games I missed out. Definitely a really helpful video.

love your content mate, this is just what i need... currently playing Shadow Hearts on my laptop about an hour in and loving it !!! thanx for the list !!!

Dang you’re already at 30k subs man, keep at it. I remember when you were 2k not too long ago

I loved your list of RPGs, congrats man :3

Nice list Erick! Very informative, I've never heard of some of these.

That must have taken a long time to edit. You are amazing and among the top of my favourite KZfaqrs. I wish you all the best :)

I love Suikoden 4, even have the rune of punishment as a tattoo, glad to see that you included it!

I wasn't into Jrpgs as a kid but now an adult of 36 I'm getting into them and your videos help guide me.... oh and cost me a fortune.

Nice compilation, PS2 was most definitely the best console for an endless stream of unique JRPG'S! I loved .hack, Xenosaga, Star Ocean, Shadow Hearts and Final Fantasy X.

I kinda want to see some personal list in the future, you sound really passionate when you talk about things your personally invested.

A great video 👌 I realized how many good RPGs I missed in the PS2

Great video Erick, so many 💎

Big props for having all SMT and Persona games :)

Thanks for including RADIATA STORIES, your right it's really underrated. one of my favorite RPGs

At first I thought you weren’t going to put any Xenosaga game on the list. I LOVE the Xenosaga trilogy. I wish monolith would release a remaster of the trilogy on modern consoles.

Erick, please make a video about top 10 epic boss battles in JRPGs that you like the most, love you

I really wish they would do a remaster of the Xenosaga games one day.

Thank u man, u have a best list jrpg games! 💪😉👍🔥

Oh man, so many memories from so many of those games. Star Ocean 3 - Til The End Of Time had an awesome battle system and I loved the characters. Digital Devil Saga had a very unique setting and AMAZING music (Shoji Meguro is a damn genius). Radiata Stories I still replay at least once every year or two. I love recruiting all the different characters. Suikoden 4 was awesome. Sailing the sea was slow, but I found it relaxing and the battles were fun. Also, lots of characters to recruit. (Suikoden 4 is better than 5, FIGHT ME). All of the Atelier Iris and Mana Khemia games had a really fun battle system, beautiful visuals and awesome music. And pretty much most of the games on the rest of your list made me reminisce HARD. So thanks for that :)

Thx to your video, i found Radiata Stories. Its my first and long forgotten jrpg game. Im desperate searching for it

Mi backlog acaba de crecer!! Muchas gracias Erik!!

Its great to see that theres tons of tons of great JRPG games on the good ol ps2

Erik spoke about this on his stream today so checking it out while playin smt 5 lets gooo

Love this man. Do other consoles but I’m sure you plan on doing that

Wooohooo,most of the games in here I have played & enjoyed so getting to see many get the spotlight is awesome thanks to Erick Landon RPG! So many great memories over the years with most of the games & actually playing some even before the first game in the series. Can't wait for the next installment & thanks for an amazing trip down memory lane. 😁

AMAZING VIDEO!!!

Oh man, this video is fantastic. I even wish to get back to trade fleet to have time to play all these games. Love art style and even today it looks great. Thank you for your videos and deep knowledge of the genre. Stay cool and awesome.

Best video in all of KZfaq as far as JRPG goes on the PS2.

Never knew Valkyre Profile 2 had such an intriguing gameplay style 😮 so good

I loved the cover, i mean Nocturne and P4 are two of my favorite jrpgs in general

As someone who is just recently getting into JRPGS and the PS2, this is daunting. 😄

From this list I've played: Persona 3 and 4, Phantasy Star Universe, DDS, Suikoden 4 and 5, Disgaea 1 and 2, Grandia 2 and 3, Kingdom Hearts 2, .hack, .hack GU, Rogue Galaxy, Devil summoner 1 and 2, Valkyrie Profile 2, Xenosaga 1, 2 and 3... not even half of it... adulthood has taken its toll on me... (T-T)

I need more Memory , At least 64 Gb to play all those ps2 games on emulator, i'm soo exite to see all this video ! Good work man.

Thanks for introducing me into more rpgs.

Shadow Hearts: Covenant is the best game of its generation and the second best game I've ever played.

Glad to see Ar Tonelico and Growlanser on the list. Very good game series, the both of them.

I remember when Eternal Poison was announced, it was called "Poison Pink". Which, of course, sounds like a very ...... cultured game.

I loved the xenosaga trilogy, its amazing the great library of ps2 games, it has no end.

I love how you just jump into the list without any unnecessary explaining or anything like that. Also great video and the list btw!

I'm playing Alter Code F as we speak. Never got to finish the original Wild Arms back in the day.

Nice job

I, mistakenly, posted a comment here, so I deleted. I have discovered your channel recently and I adore it, our viewpoints on jrpgs may be different, nonetheless your videos are very precious and your jrpg knowledge is amazing. Congratulations!

.Dot Hack + G.U. // and Xenosaga Trilogy is by far my favorite JRPG games ever . Story is so damn dark n deep but also very beutiful with many secrets , Amazing character developement , awesome Battles and ofcourse one of the best Soundtracks ever created !

Would put one that were missed “legaia 2”

Finally someone that has played almost as many RPGs than me. Kappa Great video btw.

I like how the wording of a sentence when talking about the Devil Summoner games implies that the 30s didn't exist

I just realized I had already played almost all these games and yes I also consider most of them as best JRPGs too!

Shining Tears caught my attention here as I like diablo style games

Nice list, although I find mega man x command missions to be an over looked/under rated game too, would make my own top 50 ps2 for sure.

If it were about any other console I would say top50 is an exageration, but PS1 and PS2 have so much RPGs it makes a lot of sense! Ah, those times!!

I've seen too many of your videos. I knew all of those games. 😅 I keep looking for Shining Tears but haven't gotten my hands on it yet. You didn't mention that Tales of the Abyss is multiplayer. I haven't played Legendia yet because it's only single player. That's a big change for the Tales series.

The PS2 had So many great JRPGs. Persona 3 & 4, Final Fantasy 10/10-2, Dragon Quest 8, SMT Nocturne, etc.

i want a true portable ps2 so badly.. ar tonelico 2 is my favorite ps2 game, but there are so many great games

PS2 its amazing.So many great JRPGS...

I hope to play at least half of those games.

What do you think about Steambot Chronicles @Erick Landon?

Due to life situations I missed any and all gaming from 2002-2014, but it is my firm opinion that the PS2 has the strongest library of JRPGs out of any console despite my not having played the latter portion of them.

Erick, I came here to see your face... ;[ We want more videos where we can see you talking! Too many of those faceless let's plays... Though more FFVIIR is always welcomed as we are on the hype train!

Hi Erik! what about Jade cocoon 2? Have you played it? How about its mecahnic and your opinion on the game.

I wish game and go back to these days but with the quality of game that was on the PlayStation 2

Tales of abyss was my fav on the ps2

I've always liked la' pucelle tactics more than disgaea, and think that it deserves to be on the list more.

I would've added: "La Pucelle Tactics" high on the list.

Epic video

Yey!! Adds are back

After I watched it, I still want the game I'm looking for, which is a role-playing jrpg, and I can see my life in my turn.

I played 43 of these games and beat all 43.🤯

dammm nice job i agree with this list only gems inside!

i rememner a game where you start off with a guy and girl. recruit some minotaur dude with a lance and i remember base defense elements sometimes. wish i knew what game it was. had to of been on ps2

Xenosaga. Love it

ps2, the golden era of jrpg

What ost is playing since Eternal poison?

Personally, I liked Megaman X Command Mission... also, gotta agree with a comment I seen before. Legaia 2 was really good (aside from it's voice acting, which is hit or miss sometimes)

Meu top 10 de JRPGs do PS2 01.Final Fantasy XII 02.Persona 3 03.Stella Deus 04.Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 05.Rogue Galaxy 06.Suikoden III 07.Persona 4 08.Dragon Quest 8 09.Odin Sphere 10.Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

Trying to get my ps2 library in check because the new systems will never play the large library. O course I have it on the ps4 but some games don't work like they should.

Anyone knows what's the song that starts playing at 15:07?

Does anyone know the music starting from around #10 and on to #1?

Mana Khemia isn't a spin off, they're the 9th and 10th Atelier games.

I was waiting for Xenosaga to show up and you went and put it at number 1. Which btw is where it belongs👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Maybe someone here can help me, I’ve been looking for an JRPG I played when I was little. I don’t have much to go off of, I just remember main character being late for school, when you are there you have 2 best friends, one being a flamboyant boy and a girl, and then an earth quake happens.

God so many amazing games. They really don't make em like they used to

My favourite is Mana Khemia ❤️

.hack, Xenosaga, Tales of Legendia, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, Shin Megami Tensei, yes yes yes.

Checking this out to fill my phone for AetherSx2 goodness

Ugh I wish I could play them all!!!

I just bought Legaia 2 xD

Why did you put Kingdom Hearts on the list dude? 🤔 Number 1 is rightly deserved 🤘

Does anyone know the name of a game that has a warrior cat and a monster that looks like Jell-O? I remember my bro playing, he kind of recruited these different warriors.

Nobody seems to like Unlimited Saga, it even has a price of roughly 15 euros whenever i see it (as opposed to the 750 euro for the first Suikoden)

This one is a Prequal(takes place before the PSX games)

I was never interested in Odin Sphere but maybe I'll give it a chance.

What a great movie

Nocturne, DDS1-2, FFX, FF12, P3, P4, Silmeria, Xenosaga. Doesn't get better than these.

Grandia 2 is a fantastic game, no matter how you play it, but I'll always stand by the Dreamcast version, simply because I find it to be better than the PS2 version.
