COG writes - The Retro Review Series is back and we get into one of the PS2 era's greatest JRPGs, Persona 3 FES.
TheGamer's Meg Pelliccio says: "Atlus has just launched ports of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden to modern consoles, allowing old fans a chance to take a trip down memory lane while newbies can experience them for the very first time. Persona 5 and Royal saw the fanbase boom, so it’s no surprise that lots of fans have yet to check out these earlier titles. As much as I enjoy and would recommend both, I can’t help feeling that this launch missed the opportunity to settle an old score once and for all."
Neither does Tales of the Abyss
At least P3 is playable on modern platforms whereas TotA was only rereleased on 3DS
Started it this weekend, for a min I thought there was no 3d exploration until I got into the dungeon. Just a weird choice with the static pic.
IGN: "Our picks for the ten best role-playing games on the PlayStation 2."
Missing one of my favorite RPG's on the PS2 and that is the Xenosaga trilogy that one always seems to get the short end of the stick. I wish Namco would get off their ass and remaster the franchise I love that franchise trilogy to death I would buy it day one if Namco remastered it.
u no, i just started playing it and just beat the first one and damn... this is "CUTSCENE the game"
there's just too many amd they are so damn long too. the story js overly complicated too lol
music is non existent beside the boss and random battle music.
the battles.. the difficulty is a random mess lol. and they're broken once u have a certain attack.
the second one i just started and its better yes, but i dont like shions model at all.
they're not bad games, but damn. u need some time to patience to finish them.
Xenosaga 2 they changed the character model fans got in an uproar about it and Xenosaga 3 the character models were changed back to the Xenosaga 1 way.
I'm gonna be honest here. Might be an unpopular opinion, but that's a pretty shitty goddamn list they whipped up.
Why are they using a picture of Kingdom Hearts 3 Sora for a list of PS2 games...?
How you gonna have a thumbnail of a PS4 & XO game when talking about PS2 games?
I’m not even gonna bother with this article
FFXII has..
a better soundtrack
a more interesting storyline
is not as linear as FFX
more interesting characters
Ivalice
many more interesting sidequests
a job system <3
Honestly I couldn't disagree more. The soundtrack of X is world's above XII. the characters aren't as good. X has far more humour in the characters. XII is dark for the sake of it. Spira is a beautiful world too. I found the storyline of XII quite dull too and the main character is awful. (Yes Tidus isn't much better though)
The story is better and way more fleshed out in X and the music is just beyond memorable.
XII's summoning were lame and the license board was awful , I mean why did I need a licence to wear equip?
You say it has a job system but the combat wasn't great , in X every action in combat actually mattered
It's probably the worst interpretation of ivalice I've seen , FFT, Vagrant story and even FFXIV did better , XII feels like a wannabe Star Wars. Non-linear doesn't always mean better .......
yes.
12 is damn boring. i don't like MMOs at all. i dont like any of the characters beside Fran and Balthier, the music is what u would expect from that type of environment and the best characters dies literally in the first 5 mins of the game haha.
10 is the better ps2 final fantasy game. in every way possible
Some games hit people hard. Which is a relief when people need to let emotions out. So settle in with these seven games.
I lost a lot of hours to this one back in the day, still holds up too!
