Shin Megami Tensei. :) The series dates back to the NES or SNES in Japan, but the games didn't start coming out here until the PS1 or PS2, I don't know exactly when... (excepting the GBC game 'Revelations: The Demon Slayer' I think) the Persona series (PS1) is a spinoff of it as well. But it's Atlus Japan's big internal RPG series, I'd say.
Quote:It's been coming for awhile, really. In the end, I feel the PS2 to be a disappointment. There are only a handful of games I really liked for the machine (Silent Hill 2 primary among them all, it's my second-favorite game ever), but sequels to my favorite PS1 games (Xenogears, Star Ocean) were massive letdowns.
My PS2 broke completely about six months ago, and if it weren't for the Silent Hill games, I would feel absolutely no compunction to replace it.
I've heard people say this, and I'm not sure what they're comparing the PS2 to... with its lineup, shouldn't it be considered a pretty good console? Or was the PS1 really THAT much better...

Well, they all came out on PC, but I don't think that's what you meant... :)
[/QUOTE] Star Ocean[QUOTE]
Star Ocean 2 (or rather, playing my cousin's copy...) is one of the reasons I got a PS1 back in January, actually (and then borrowed the game, since I haven't seen any for sale :D)... so good...
