PS2 Japanese ExclusiveGame Suggestions.

I just got a PSX (it's a fancy Japanese PS2) and atm only own one japanese game for it.
I'd like to get more games for it and would like people from the forum to suggest good Japanese Exclusive PS2 games to play on it.
I want to collect the games never released in the US and want to make a list of titles to watch for.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

My top choice would definitely be the sequel to Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land (us NA gamers only got the 1st one released here) *IF* you like dungeon-crawler RPG's.

Also, I'd probably look into the "Enhanced", bonus, director's-cut, International, etc versions of some other games that I liked (like Shadow Hearts: Covenant & FF XII) that got JP only releases.
theflea:
I do love dungeon crawlers, I'll add it to the list.
And while i do love collector's editions, I don't think I'll put games I already own the US version high on the list unless I find a good deal on them.
Mainly want to make a list of Japanese Exclusives. Thanks
disgaeniac:
No problem :)

Do you have/have you played the NA-released Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land for the PS2?

If not, especially since you like dungeon-crawlers, I'd highly recommend it.

Also, you may want to PM Kimimi...

Feeling a bit nostalgic about old anime? Japanese version of any giant robot style game have always been better than US

For the Gundam fanatic. Because you know the Japanese versions will be absolutely primo:

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: Generation of C.E. ]> Sequel 1 to Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: Never Ending Tommorrow
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: Federation vs. Zaft ]> Sequel 2
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: Rengou vs. Zaft II Plus ]> Sequel 3 and had a PSP version
Almost forgot:
Mobile Suit Z-Gundam: Aeug vs. Titans

Was quite ticked when this sequel never came across the pond:
Front Mission 5: Scars of the War

For the niche Dokapon audience:
Dokapon DX ]> Also on Gamecube
Dokapon: The World ]> Quite a bit like Monster Hunter in gameplay

Ever wanted Digimon to go a bit dark with story?

BOMBERMAN
Bomberman Land 2
Bomberman Land 3
