The PS2 RPG Scene

[Retrogamer0001]

I know there have been a few topics recently on the affordability of PS2/GC/oXbox games, and I've lately been on a buying spree to grab as many PS2 RPG's as I can, specifically from Ebay (I like to buy new, sealed games when the prices aren't hideously inflated, and I figure my best chance to do that is now with most of these ones) and I can say from experience, the time to buy is definitely now. I personally can't buy these games new (or used) locally for decent prices, and the big stores have obviously stopped stocking them long ago. I picked up the following brand new games, and am pretty happy with the purchases:

Digital Devil Saga - 20$
Digital Devil Saga 2 - 20$
SMT: Nocturne - 20$
Mana Khemia: Fall of Alchemy - 25$
Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia - 30$
Ar Tonelico: Melody of Metafalica - 30$
Eternal Poison - 20$

My PS2 collection already has over 120 quality games, most of which are RPGs, and these are some of the last I'll be needing, with maybe twenty more games to go. I find it very sad that the PS2 was such a powerhouse for RPGs, and that no modern console today even comes anywhere close to it in that department - it is truly a night-and-day difference. To end on a crazy note, I went into my local EB Games today to browse, and discovered that all of their previous stock of brand new PS2 games were selling for .99 cents! Granted, they were almost all sports games, but I picked up four sealed copies of Warriors of Orochi 2, a copy of Gundam Battle Assault 2, and a few other weird games. Not too shabby.
