Story:Rogue Galaxy is an action role playing game set in a futuristic fantasy universe, in which the player moves through a continuous environment with no load time between overworld exploration and battles. Battles occur as random encounters, Rogue Galaxy uses a real-time hack and slash combat system in which the player fights with a party of three characters. The player has direct control over only one character, although they can change which character that is at any time. The two NPCs fight independently of the player character, based on a strategy selected prior to the battle. Available strategies include fighting especially aggressively, targeting a specific enemy or not fighting at all. The strategy can also be changed at any time during the battle. Additionally, the player can issue specific orders to the NPCs during combat, such as having them use an item or activate one of their special abilities.Show more

All i want in life is the have this GEM in PC.
This game has so much to do... So much to see. Great music, great gameplay.
It's so much fun to 100% (besides the Frog Log thing...), it would take like 200 hours. But it's so worth it. The Insectron ''mini game'' itself is beyond fun.
This game is just perfect. It was my first experience with RPG gameplay in my early 10s and I was obssessed with it for years. I would play that with my sibling in our PS2 for hours and days in a row. The characters are amazing, so as their backstory, there are a lot of different things to do, there are mini games and the quarries are so much fun to complete. The planets are beautiful, each one with their own story and particularities and items and insects (there is a side quest that it's also a minigame which you can battle insects, The Insectron) to find. It's a dream coming true to have it in PC. I really love this game.
This is such a hidden gem, its bad that no much people know about this rpg, its totally worth to bring it to this era and maybe in the future get a sequel or remaster/remake 10/10.
This was one of the best games to have been released on the PS2. A hidden gem that flew under the radar for many people because it was one of the last games to be released on the platform and was overshadowed by the hype of the PS3.
This game is a cult classic and for good reason.
It is a travesty that the only way to play this game is to own a PS2, unlike many other classics to have been originally released on the platform, this never got a re-release or remake.
Make this game one of the ones you slightly update, because if you could figure out a way to set up a online mode which is only for people to battle their bug collections against each other you would add the bit of polish to this gem that I think it would need to stand out all over again. Great game and I need a reason to break my strategy guide out of the bookshelf again, please!
I love this game so much! The characters, planets, even the items you can obtain, have so much history put into them. I adore the music, and keep a playlist of the soundtrack to listen to in my car driving.
After discovering this game from a friend at school long ago, it has been a treasured story and pulls on every emotion throughout its extensive narrative.
And after showing my wife all of the cutscenes, so she could understand what it meant to me, when we had our first child, we named him Jaster, because the main character is heroic and had values we also want to instill in him.
This game was, and is, HIGHLY slept on. Im SO glad to see its on the list already. PS2 had some of the best JRPGs ever made. This game is no exception. We absolutely need these classics to be on GOG
Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears.
The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts.
Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.Trending Fantasy Science fiction

XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.Trending Fantasy Science fiction
