Product-Reviews writes: Considering the fact that the company are remaking Final Fantasy X and not just giving this a HD remake shows that the company still have what it takes to deliver a quality game, and who’s to say that they won’t go on and remake Final Fantasy VII, FFVIII and FFIX in the future. Those games are obviously the cream of the crop as far as every Final Fantasy fan is concerned and it would be easy money if they did choose to remake them.
Take it down the memory lane with this ultimate list of the best PlayStation 2 games of all time. Just the best of the best right here.
It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.
Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.
But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.
Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol
Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX
are some of my all times favorites missing on that list
I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.
The greatest console of all time !!!!
The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.
Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.
It will always be my favourite.
It’s been 20+ years since the time that gave us Mulholland Drive and “Bootylicious”, meaning this look at the best games of 2001 is going to make some of you feel very old very quickly.
As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.
If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.
The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3
Nope

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously
"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"
Thank God anyway
It's better when each FF is a different Universe
Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

I thought they said that was just a joke:
―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”
―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”
―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.
@Snookies12
Easter eggs man nothing more
Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected
I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day
Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.
I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo
I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark
Okay didn’t see others already said it
technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.
but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.
not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.
Sorry for the spoiler if true
Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.
FFX was a great game, underrated for sure. Looking forward to playing again on PS3 and maybe even picking up the game save on Vita? Nice.
Final Fantasy X was a great game and i will buy it for the Vita. But honestly i want to see a new title from square for the Vita. If they make a new Tactics it would be killer for the Vita.
not really , it's much easier to redo a ps2 in Hd ( as proven by teh various Hd collection ) than to do the same with a ps1 game.
For a PS2 game as long as they have the original assets all they have to do is to rewirte the graphical side to the engine while upgrading the textures.
For a PS1 game , they have to redo everything.
There is no hope. FF7 remake won't happen because no one exist up to the task and nobody wants to do it at squareenix.
( i know i'll get a lot of disagree from angry fans ) but it's the truth
Yes we have had hope ever since the PS2 came out.
But FFX remakes looks good too.
i hope they treat this remake with respect by using the ff13 engine and not just upscale the textures like what Sony does with their remakes.
That said i would have rather had them remake something they released on the ps1 like ff7, ff8 or ff9 because i believe that the graphics on those are so bad compared to today's standards that many gamers would find them hard to play based on that barrier alone.
