A brilliant sequel to a fantastic game. The story is a continuation of shadow hearts 1 which is a spiritual successor to Koudelka. There’s a large cast of characters and a lot of interesting history and mythology.
This is the game that got me into JRPGs. I just fell in love with the story, characters and even its unique way it did turn based combat. I would be nice to see this game ( and the rest of the games for that matter) be properly preserved and not forgotten about on the PS2. (Plus I believe should experience the absolute nonsense that is the character Joachim Valentine and the silly MGS like segment done by Blanca.
One of my favorite hidden gems. Fusing with monster souls and taking their forms feels very powerful, and the Judgment Ring system is a clever twist for turn-based RPGs. It's one of my favorite games with an intriguing story, unique setting, and a devilishly handsome anti-hero.
probably one of the greatest rpg line up of all time and nobody knows it exists along with Koudelka, hoping that GOG sees these games and works there magic so they can be experienced on modern consoles, these games absolutely deserve to be brought back again.

This is such a unique JRPG. A dark fantasy set in the background of WW1-esque Europe? It's incredible. The writing is excellent, the characters are multi-faceted, the gameplay is unique and interesting. The only thing that kept it from selling as many copies as it should have is coming out at the same time as Final Fantasy X. It's also the only game in my knowledge to make BOTH endings of the preceding game canon (i.e. the good AND bad ending both happened).

Monster Hunter
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises. Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.
