You have a pretty long wait ahead of you if that's all you're concerned for.....anyway none atm, but I need to get around to finishing Persona 3 at some point, I think the SMT series are the only JRPGs that I honestly enjoy anymore, just because its a breathe of fresh air not having your same damn plot and story as 500 other JRPGs for once.

Can I just start with Persona 3 or 4?  Or do I need to start from the beginning, I really want to play one of these games, but don't have time to play all of them.

Persona 3 and 4 have nothing to do with each other, nor the previous games, in terms of storyline. You can get by just fine without having played any of the previous games.

They aren't related to each other, you can start wherever you like. Persona 3 FEZ came out earlier this year, it should still be in print(a lot of the SMT games go out of print and then cost like 100 bucks to get) it was around 30 bucks at the time...I'd say look it up and try that, its a really good game.

You don't need to play the first two Persona games at all. They're really hard to find, both on PS1, and not really similar to Persona 3. You don't have to worry about plot details from the old ones or anything like that either, so pick up Persona 3 and enjoy.
To answer the question of the thread, I played through Gladius this year which is sort of an RPG. I'm planning to do Shadow Hearts 3 soon. If you haven't played the second or first you really should. They're better than the Persona games for sure.

You're seriously asking about RPGs for the PS2? There's like 4 billion to choose from! Ha! I hope to get Re:CHain of memories in dec, and I would love to have the time to both finish FFXII and play some of the persona games. Xenosaga is a great franchise if you havn't touched them yet.

Persona 3 is a great game...just keep in mind it's clunky and low budget, or else you might go in expecting it to be something it's not and get disappointed. It is very unique, though.

I'm hoping Persona 4 works just as well as 3 with software BC-capable PS3s.

HEh, thats a good point. I had not even thought about that cuz... I've got an original 60gb and BC issues are few and far between.

I tried checking Sony's system for information, but they don't include Persona 4. I'm fairly sure it'll work - and if not I do have my PSTwo lying around, although it's stuffed at the back of my closet.

I put on hold Rouge Galaxy. I'm pretty far into the game, but lost interest when I got Tales of Vesperia. Will be playing Persona 3: FES soon. Just ordered it from Amazon 2 days ago. Finished the original and just need the answer. Waiting on Persona 4 till Christmas

I'm starting Stella Deus and maybe Shadow Hearts 3 later this month. Ahh...PS2 RPGs...how awesome you are. Oh and I just finished basically watching my roomate 100% complete Rogue Galaxy. I say "basically" because our tv's are in the same room and he played while I played various PS3 games.

I don't have a PS3, but I was feeling nostalgic so I started replaying FFVII on my PS2 a little while ago.

I picked up Odin Sphere and Persona 3 FES a while back that I haven't cracked open yet. Probably will get some time in on those on my Christmas break.
