I would be happy if I could get it for within 5,000 yen.

The slim PlayStation 2 was just under 20,000 yen, that’s a good price.

Heavenly Punishment Visit

Wild Arms Alter Code F

Samurai

Great Deity

Capcom vs. SNK 2

If you want to play a challenging RPG, I recommend Breath of Fire 5.

If you plan to play later, it’s better not to change the protagonist’s default name.

Gundam VS Z Gundam

Shadow of the Colossus

>>12

Unthinkable

Isn’t this some kind of mistake?

BUSIN0

Super Robot Wars IMPACT

Ansala

Super Robot Wars IMPACT is long, so it’s good for killing time.

You should do it.

Armored Core 2 and AA are

>>19

AA is my favorite in AC.

>>27

It’s good, isn’t it…?

I want to keep clearing missions endlessly…

Armored Trooper

Gran Turismo 4

Shuto Kō Battle 0

Rule of Rose

Space Channel 5

Renji

Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts 2 Director’s Cut

Ape Escape 2 and 3 and Salvatore

Macross VF-X2

Dynasty Warriors

If you love Gundam, then Zionic Front.

Monster Hunter

Ace Combat 5

Ace Combat Zero

Pachipara

I’m glad to see multiple titles that I participated in the development of being mentioned.

Me and the Demon King

It is unlikely that it will be transplanted or anything like that.

Sky Gunner

>>38

It’s available on PS4 and 5.

Brilliant Dance Festival

Renza 2

SIREN 1, 2

Metal Gear 2, 3

Space Channel 5

Ar tonelico

Ar tonelico 2

KHFM

KH2FM

You must definitely buy the PS2 version of Kingdom Hearts.

God Hand

I think this is probably as far as character games have come as merchandise.

>>46

It’s nice that there are pregnancy ends in ◯◯ Portable…

>>44

Well… it’s still coming out quite a bit now…

>>77

I’m not that far out yet…

You should quit R-TYPE FINAL.

I want things like magical alloys.

ANUBIS

Kowloon Youma Gakuenki re:charge

Most games that I got hooked on during the PS2 era have been remastered.

>>49

So I’ll list titles that probably won’t happen.

Namco x Capcom

Persona 3

But the PC and the remake are better!

Persona 4

But a PC is better!

Tales of the Abyss

The 3DS version is better!

Nine grudges

Roar of Steel

I only played Arnetricco 2, but it didn’t click with me.

But I like music enough to listen to it occasionally.

>>56

I think it’s impossible to make all the works because the series has that kind of vibe.

>>61

Well, to be honest, there are too many disappointing developments in 2, so the others are not as bad…

Star Ocean 3DC

God of War

Amagami

My recommendation is “My Summer Vacation 2.”

.hack

Me and the Demon King

Ar Tonelico

Katamari Damacy… is it available on current consoles too…

>>63

The PS2 version, with its original creator still involved, is the best.

Manakemia

Shadow Hearts 1 and Shadow Hearts 2

Galaxy Angel

Let’s play Ring of Red.

Shadow Hearts

Shadow Hearts 2 DC

Torinohoshi

Ultraman Fighting Revolution Reverse

Doodle Kingdom

Kuzunoha Raido Series

Shadow Hearts 1

Shadow Hearts 2

Endless Z2 Plus

Deliberately the Earth Defense Force

Gigantic Drive

PaRappa 2

Shadow Hearts 1 and Shadow Hearts 2

From games that can only be played on PS2.

I think playing with Evergrace and Eternal Ring is definitely worth it.

>>82

Evagrey aside, Etarin is…

In that case, wouldn’t KF4 be better?

>>89

Ring synthesis is fun.

New Onimusha

Mosquito

Character games are still being released even now.

As a social game

>>86

If a social game hits somewhat, it will lead to releasing a console version as character goods.

Drakengard

DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA Avatar Tuner

It seems that Ar tonelico has complicated copyright issues and we can’t expect a port, which is tough.

I think Summon Night 3 and 4 are also good…

>>90

As expected, the PSP port is better…

Earth Defense Force 2

I have the impression that character games were doing whatever they wanted on the PSP.

ninja

I liked the unique feeling of puzzle action.

Valkyrie Profile 2

There are many complaints, but Panzer Front Ausf.B.

It came up earlier, but maybe Breath of Fire 5… it hasn’t been ported.

OZ ~ Oz ~

Tales of Destiny

Summon Night can be fully played on Vita…

>>103

VITA was a good hardware.

You can get change with just one copy of “Shernosarge.”

>>107

Having the right to obtain the digital version if you owned a UMD for PSP was groundbreaking.

>>103

First, Vita…

Is the store over already?

>>109

Can be used again.

I didn’t say it could be used properly.

>>111

You should be able to buy it by charging up in the store on PS4 or PS5.

I haven’t tried it yet, but…

>>178

You can also log in to the PS Store from a browser on your PC to charge and make purchases.

There’s a hassle of re-linking the VITA.

There are times when you don’t play games, right?

I don’t know anything about the PS3 era.

>>104

There are some platforms I haven’t played, but I’ve been continuously playing games for 32 years since I first started touching video games…

GLADIATOR ROAD TO FREEDOM REMIX

>>105

Gladiator, it’s your turn.

>>105

I like that you can go for direct hits with throwing attacks using a glitch technique that isn’t possible on the PSP version.

Jack and Daxter is interesting!

>>106

The one that was giving out sample discs all over the place!

>>106

It’s painful that the masterpiece 3 has not been released in Japan.

>>146

The domestic version was released for PS4.

There are some small remasters, but I wish more games from this era would be ported.

It’s supposed to be released more in PS Classic and such.

https://bushiroadgames.com/game/page/3/

Bushiroad is still actively releasing character games on CS.

CS character games feel like PSP → Vita → Switch.

Was FF7DC ported?

As a game, it’s mediocre, but if you like Vincent, I think it’s okay to play.

>>114

BCDC is not yet.

The initial trilogy of the Zero series.

Please transplant it to the current machine soon.

I played Katamari so much that the stick broke.

Venus & Braves

OZ

Around this time, from the late PS1 era.

I’m regretting not buying the affordable budget edition and the omnibus.

Missing Blue

>>123

I’ve heard it’s a really voluminous dating sim, so I want to give it a try.

I feel like there were more masterpieces on the GC than on the PS2.

>>124

I don’t understand the masterpieces, but there were definitely more that I liked on the GameCube.

>>124

If there are more titles listed here, I’ll acknowledge it!

>>124

I only remember GC from Super Smash Bros…

The PS2 has a mountain of masterpieces that I’ve played and still enjoy…

>>124

That’s not the case in terms of the number or percentage of software.

The vita store is still alive because I bought the PSP versions of Summon Night 3 and 4 this year.

Maybe there are quite a few people like me.

I can’t think of any masterpieces that can only be played on the actual PS2.

>>133

Shadow Hearts

Shadow Hearts 2

OZ

Ace Combat 4 and Zero

New Onimusha

Another Century’s Episode 3

Legend of Legaia

Super Robot Wars OGS

During the PS2 era, other consoles had absolutely no chance of winning…

There are many masterpieces that haven’t gone up in price because there’s a limit of 5000 yen.

Grandia

If you keep fighting, I’ll manage it!

Both have many masterpieces! The end!

I’ve only heard the name Shadow Hearts, but it seems like it has a lot of dedicated fans.

Is it quite long?

>>143

It’s an RPG from this time, so it’s quite long.

It’s difficult if you’re not good at timing because it’s made by a pachislo company.

A spiritual sequel is currently in development.

I like Wild Arms 3, but it might be tough to get into it now.

I remember mostly playing Musou on the PS2, but there are plenty of options available on current consoles as well…

Parasite Eve

>>147

That is PS1.

>>147

Did Paralive come out on PS2?

Until the Switch came out, Nintendo’s game consoles were just machines to play Smash Bros with friends…

Seeing this thread makes me want to pull out my PS2 and play.

I wonder if it can still move.

>>149

Why do you think it’s not moving?

>>160

Huh… you don’t trust machines, do you?

>>165

Could it be that they’re not of the Albedo tribe…?

>>160

The deterioration of the rubber belt that transmits rotation is a common failure.

Mine is still okay.

>>155

Anything deteriorates over time.

Moreover, it’s an electrical appliance that hasn’t been used regularly.

>>169

The PS2 will break if it’s powered on.

Well, then I’ll go pull out the original PS3…

>>149

It’s not so much a fight as it is that a crazy person started saying incomprehensible things, so everyone jumped in to call them out.

I don’t know the price.

Onimusha 2

Samurai

Dark Cloud

>>152

Not the Chronicle, but that way!?

>>158

There are things that can only be obtained here.

I’m replaying FF10 on PS2 right now.

After this, I plan to play Shadow Hearts 2 DC.

If someone starts saying that the GC is more interesting when I’m asking for PS2 recommendations, it should be fine to just manage them immediately…

Anyway, someone like that can’t have a proper conversation.

The slim PS2 is good because it makes it easy to clean the lens.

You can’t reach the lens of a regular PS2 without disassembling it…

Front Mission 5 is great!

Four is good too.

>>164

Which Front Mission should I start with?

There are archives and such, so it seems I could start from any of them, but that’s the only part that makes me hesitate to jump in.

>>176

I think it’s fine to go in order from 1.

It’s difficult because the evaluations of the remake of 2 and 12 are mixed.

345 has a weak series connection, so it can be enjoyed on its own.

Tulips and Indonesia

>>166

You can’t buy it for 5,000 yen.

>>170

You can buy it individually.

They are not that expensive up to that point.

>>181

Endonesia

Compatible model: PlayStation 2
Publisher: Enix
Developer: Banpresto
Release date: May 31, 2001
List price: 6,800 yen (including tax)

>>188

If it’s being sold as new, I’ll buy it!

Well, I checked the used price and it has more than doubled… I’m sorry.

>>181

I’m envious because both are 8,000 yen at a nearby store.

The love deli genre has Rule of Rose and UFO, but they’re both expensive.

For now, I’m Googling everything I can find, but I’m surprisingly grateful that there are many inexpensive options.

It will probably go up eventually.

For now, I’ll try playing Shadow Hearts.

It’s surprising that Ace Combat hasn’t been ported.

>>168

The rights situation is…

Berwick Saga

Even now, you can guess from the low price of used games, it’s an SRPG that’s deeply immersed in the realm of awful games.

However, there are too many nutrients that can only be obtained this way, so if you play, please refer to a guide.

I like Gundam: The War Chronicles and Climax UC.

>>172

I recently replayed a war game, but the controls were so poor that I quit immediately.

I can’t believe I was so into this back then… It was really great as an entry point into dating sims.

The PS2 had quite a few pickup troubles, so working units are rare.

So this HDA

>>174

It’s not particularly rare.

>>174

If it’s rare, the moving PS2 should have a higher premium…

A new release has come out: Shutoko Battle 0 and Shutoko Battle 01.

I recommend Kaido Battle 2 and C1 Grand Prix Racing Battle.

You don’t have to buy the legend of KAIDO Pass yet.

Is ICO only for PS2?

>>183

There’s also a PS3.

>>183

It has been ported to PS3.

>>183

Can be played on PS3 and PS4.

Wrestle Angels Survivor 2

I was going to reply, but I got shocked when I saw the price.

Isn’t it a common memory that even when playing normally, it breaks and when you adjust it vertically or horizontally, it goes “Oh, it moved!”?

I remember that Front Mission 3 was the most interesting, but it was a PS1 game.

Indonesia and Chulip were just under 5000 yen at the nearby book market, but…

Recently, it had risen in price and was around 8000.

Ar tonelico

I counted the PS2 games, and there are exactly 40 of them.

It may not increase from here.

I’m buying the works I want.

Isn’t it tough to be under 5000 yen at the regular price!?

It’s quite good that it’s not FF10 International because there are no Dark Aeons and there are Chocobo glitches.

Bravo Music

I believe a pressure-sensitive button is necessary, so it seems that a genuine controller is required.

Where can you buy PS2 games at full price these days?

>>202

Yamada Denki

>>206

I wonder how they can keep running the game store like that.

It’s already difficult to buy it at the regular price…

Gladiator Rtf Remix

A Japanese action RPG with an amazing Western game-like atmosphere.

If the fixed price is set, the game is basically done, isn’t it!?

Tales of Destiny 2

Isn’t it that used ones are more expensive now?

I damaged my disc by scratching it with my slim PS2, so I want an Endonesia too…

Bouncer

I’m not joking; I think it’s a good game because it’s cheap, has plenty of content, is easy to play, and has a delightful taste.

>>210

That’s an interesting joke.

>>210

The volume may not be enough, but it’s still enjoyable.

Endonesia is around 8,000 yen.

By the way, the production of PS2 games has ended.
