We already published the list of best PS2 games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best PS2 MMORPGs of all time.
With amazing titles available, the PS2 definitely has a great library of MMORPGs.
So, if you’re a fan of both the PS2 and MMORPGs, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers
- Release Data: Sony Online Entertainment, 2003
- Genre: Role-Playing » Massively Multiplayer
Frontiers has done a brilliant job in updating and expanding upon EQOA. Fans of the original will have little to no excuse in putting off getting this title to see all the new features.
Master Class, level 60, and 150 square miles of new territory are three huge reasons to check this out.
#4. EverQuest Online Adventures
- Release Data: Sony Online Entertainment, 2003
- Genre: Role-Playing » Massively Multiplayer
EverQuest Online Adventures isn’t the same game as its PC counterpart, and the designers clearly tried to streamline and in some ways simplify the experience of the original so it would be better suited for the broader audience of the PlayStation 2.
Yet, ironically, the game is most easily recommended to those already accustomed to this style of gaming.
#3. Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia
- Release Data: Square Enix, 2004
- Genre: Role-Playing » Massively Multiplayer
Regardless of any major gameplay overhauls, Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia is still a great addition to the existing universe.
No matter how far along players may be with the original adventure, however, Chains of Promathia should definitely reward Final Fantasy fans who were disappointed in the first game’s anemic sense of storyline with what they’ve been looking for.
#2. Final Fantasy XI
- Release Data: Square Enix, 2004
- Genre: Role-Playing » Massively Multiplayer
Is this just another MMORPG with the name Final Fantasy slapped on it? No, because it does feel like a Final Fantasy world with all the familiar skills, jobs, and NPCs.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you prefer to hunt alone, you’re going to find yourself having a hard time after the first 15 levels.
#1. Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan
- Release Data: Square Enix, 2006
- Genre: Role-Playing » Massively Multiplayer
If you’re new and curious to MMORPGs, be cautious of FFXI since it is a game that requires large chunks of playtime to get anywhere.
If you’re ready for a challenge and are willing to work hard to get good, then consider giving Final Fantasy XI and Treasures of Aht Urhgan a try.
