Even though the PS2 has been out of the limelight for awhile, it still has an awesome catalog of games to run through. Too many to count even, especially RPGS.
I'm one of those folks who got the systerm long after it stopped being a current subject, and now I want to invest my time in picking up the best RPGs the system has to offer. Some, like Final Fantasy X, Tales of the Abyss, Dragon Quest VIII, Persona 3 and Kingdom Hearts II are no brainers.
But what are some other rpgs I should look into for the system. I'd like some recommendations.

Persona 4? It's pretty good too, aside P3.

Okay, Persona 4. That's one, I supposed. But in the thousands of titles, with the hundreds of RPGs, only a select few are worthing picking up?

I've heard good things about Dark Cloud 2, but I've never played it. FFXII is fun to play if you can get past the boring characters and generally lackluster story. It's got one of my favorite game-worlds ever.
And I noticed you listed Kingdom Hearts 2, but not one. Any reason why? If you haven't played it already you definitely should before 2. It'll feel kinda crappy if you ever go back to it afterwards, but it's such a great game.

Pick up Dark Cloud, 1 or 2, if you want to grind. I got to the 4th town before I put the game away. Sure, making new weapons, inventing things using photography, and piloting robots and turning into monsters sounds fun, but I couldn't have liked it less.

Those are all great titles I plan to pick up at some point, but what are your guy's thoughts on Shadow Hearts: From the New World and Star Ocean: Til the End of Time?
They're considered playstation greats but even after looking through some reviews, I'm not convinced of picking them up.

Every Shin Megami Tensei ever made.
Or if you're short on cash, Persona 4 and SMT: Nocturne
Whats this? No mention of Megaman X Command Mission?
SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE!
Anything made by GUST and Nippon Ichi, especially Phantom Brave or Makai Kingdom.
What else... oh, Front Mission.
also .hack// is going to cost you. A LOT. As it's stretched out over 6 games, don't think it's worth it..
Dark Cloud, atleast the 1st game isn't that great if you ask me and neither is Star Ocean.

Aren't most GUST and Nippon Ichi games Turn-Based Strategy games like Fire Emblem?
On a side note, I already have Command Mission for gamecube (Yeah, it's on the GC too.)
It was okay.

Star Ocean Till End of Time is worth the buy. Get it and play. You'll like it.

No Tales of the Abyss? My goodness. It's one of the best videogames I've ever played. One of the best Stories I've ever read/watched. BUY IT. It's a action RPG, A+ material.
Odin Sphere is a sorta Action RPG, but one of the most beautiful games on the PS2.
Same with action RPG Phantasy Star Universe PS2, who's online portion is gone forever now, but still a entertaining story. I would suggest the Xbox 360 version though, since the Update to it ("ambitions of the liluminus") is free (but you gotta pay to play the online only "episode 3"), with AotI's gameplay updates.
Final fantasy X and X-2 too, of course.
And Actionish RPGish First Person shooter. Deux Ex 1. It's for the PS2 (It exists for the PS2). I hear many things about it
And XenoSaga 1, 2 and 3. Normal RPG, Long cutscenes on the PS2.
Also from N1, Soul Nomad and the World Eaters. tactical RPG Long title, fun game. Multiple endings depending on who you did the most combo attacks with, and a second mode (in which you turn evil).
