PS2 RPG list

[Demon Cleaner]

After finishing FF12, I have now to chose what RPG to play next? I thought about:

- Grandia III
- Star Ocean III
- Dragon Quest VIII
- Suikoden V

or perhaps Rogue Galaxy? But after FF12 I want to play a turn based RPG again. Do you have another one in mind, which you played and was good?

Or perhaps I'm going to play God of War 1 and then the sequel, as the games look awesome.

If you want a change of pace I definitely recommend you give the two God of War games a play. They are both great, with the set pieces and bosses in the second game being some of the largest and amazing looking in any game to date.

As for the others you listed, if you want to play a turn based RPG then I would recommend Suikoden V out of those. But they are all great games equally. Did you play Suikoden IV already?

Did you play Suikoden IV already?

Nope. But as I heard, it's not that good, and Suikoden V is better again. I have not played any of the Suikoden games yet

Suikoden is a great Turn based Strategy RPG series. The first two games on the PSOne might now look a bit dating graphically but they are still both great games and worth playing. I'm not sure which of the 5 games I would pick as the best in the series as each is seperate in story and setting. I've also not played the 5th game through completely yet so cannot yet say how it compares. At the moment I would say Suikoden 3 is the best one I've played so far.

One cool unique feature of the series is that you have been given the ability to build and then control a castle to defend your realm against enemies.
