Koudelka and Vagrant Story

>>10106513
Persona series.
>I like the PSP version's music.

Azure dreams gets hard in the beginning unlike them Ps2 rpgs where it's around halfway

All you're going to get aside from that is gimmick shit like "now try to figure out what kind of magic to use while dying, the repeat it when you figure it out" or "yeah figure out how to damage the right body part of the enemy in the correct order"

>>10106513
Computer RPGs had some bite to them.

>>10106556
Use a gold sword
>can't rust, but can be forged.

Seriously speaking, you aren't gonna find much unless you're willing to go tactical, and even then, there's not that much
JRPGs really hit their golden age on the PS2 imo

>>10106513
Unironically ff8

>>10106727
That's shit for a whole other reason that its own can of worms, and it's just as easily broken

>>10106513

FFT's early game is, but it gets out of control pretty quickly by about the halfway point

>>10106743
For me it was before that, once I unlocked Monk

>JRPGs really hit their golden age on the PS2 imo
Wait what? That is when I stopped playing new JRPGs. The only PS2 RPGs I tried were Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest which I didn't like as much as the older ones and Persona where I didn't like the simulation elements. Did I just pick some bad ones?

>>10108317
no you didnt,that other anon is just full of shit.

>>10108317
I should clarify
PS2 was the peak in terms of GAMEPLAY, since devs could basically do whatever they wanted without being held too much back from system limitations
The ones I recomm3nd:
>Suikoden V
>Front Mission 5
>Dark Cloud 1 and 2
>Shadow Hearts 1 and 2
>Breath of Fire 5: Dragon's Quarter
>SMT Digital Devil Saga duology
>Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song
>Grandia 3/Xtreme

>attack attack, heel and toe
>my anus smells and we doe-see-doe

Based, but you forgot Rogue Galaxy

Legend of Legaia.

>>10106513
Asuncia - Matsue no Jubaku (1997)
Has a neat little scoring system by killing colored enemies and a free battle mode.

>>10108810
>>Front Mission 5
Mogged by FM3

saga frontier and saga frontier 2 are unique in some ways. the stories are kind of gay and disjointed, though.

>>10106513
Challenge-mode hacks of PS1 JRPGs.

>>10106513
I really like Valkyrie Profile's battle system

>>10106552
oh yeah instead of attack-attack-heal we have talk-talk-talk, all with unskippable animations
great gameplay

>>10106513
SMT Soulhackers

>Pre-PS2 JRPGs that aren't just baby-difficulty "Attack-Attack-Heal" loops? PsS1 preferred, but any will work

Pretty much any rpg can be boiled down to this. Since nobody has mentioned them ill just say play wild arms and xenogears.

>>10106513
Fire Emblem

Front mission 3
Grandia
Alundra
Parasite eve
Vagrant story

Not all good games however

>>10106513
Most Famicom RPGs

>>10113487
Huh, I passed on this and the first one because I thought you had to draw your own maps which filters me. I will definitely try it out.

>>10106620
