/vr/ - Retro Games

One of my favourite PSX games and that's saying a lot

I don't know why people just can't enjoy PE2 for what it is.
No, it isn't a survival horror. No, it isn't a JRPG. It's a unique take on action-adventure game with RPG elements, which is exactly what makes it fun and interesting; it takes the fun preciseness of action game with tank controls in which you have to move with tactic and technique, and adds the layer of RPG experience/spell/choice of character build up/weaponry.
Plus the sort of challenge it offers in the extra game modes is usually unheard of in A-RPGs and is pretty rare to see even in survival horror.

But nooooo "it's like resident evil" (which it isn't, only on a surface) or "it's not like PE1!" (which didn't have that good gameplay, a terrible presentation, and has a completely broken customization system). Well I think your taste is very limited, too limited to really enjoy video games.
