What is the most challenging but fun RPG for the PS2? What is the most unique/unusual?

Question

I'm looking for a different RPG game to play. It can be old or new. I'm also curious what your opinions are about challenging and unique games. Thanks a lot.

Also, if you can think of any challenging or unique Gamecube RPGs, feel free to list those as well.

I should add I've played every FF for the PS2, as well as DQ8, both Dark Cloud games, Wild Arms 3, and Star Ocean - TtEoT

Answer 1

Different RPG's to play-I'd recommend Legend of Dragoon for the PS1 (if you can find it). For Ps2 games, theres a lot-I'd recommend checking out the Shadow Hearts series, its a three game series, however the first two games are pretty hard to find.
+Another title I'd recommend is the Harvest Moon series, its certainly a more unique RPG because it deals with farming as opposed to battles. I've only played Save the Homeland for the PS2, but theres also "A Wonderful Life" for the PS2. It is also available on the gamecube version.

+.hack series-its a very unique series, and can be challenging. It's a game that mimics a MMORPG, only its single player and not an online game. Its pretty interesting, but it does have it flaws.

+Suikoden III-a good RPG, definatly worth checking out.

+Disgaea-a cult-hit tactics RPG. Its still expensive considering how long its been out, but a great RPG to check out if you're a fan of RPG strategy/tactic games.

Gamecube RPG's
+Tales of Symphonia-somewhat hard to find on the gamecube, but a great game.


Challenging and Unique games;
+Final Fantasy II-the 'level up' feature was pretty unique and challenging.

Answer 2

I personally think that the best RPG is Final Fantasy all of them are brilliant games but i recommend Final Fantasy X its fun and challenging. P.S check out amazon and see which one has the highest rating.
