I'll be honest with you, this game needs a port badly. It appears in no other forms outside of the PS2 and it is an absolutely legendary RPG. It pushed the PS2 to its absolute limits, had a completely never before OR after seen crafting system, had extremely impactful depth, and all of this in an ACTION Rpg. It doesn't deserve the rub it's gotten.

This was the second action JRPG I played back in 2003. My mom randomly surprised me with this game on my 13th birthday. I had never heard of the series before but she knew I was into anime and had recently played through Kingdom Hearts the previous year. I have so many memories staying up all night during the summer to play and having to sneak/pretend that I slept the night before when my parent woke up to go to work. This game meant a lot to me when I was younger and unfortunately, I lost it after my house was broken into. I never owned another copy and finding a hard copy for a reasonable price feels impossible. I would love to actually own this game via GOG. So I'd appreciate it if this game were to be added to this library. I think it's an outstanding JRP that deserves to be preserved.
One of the best JRPGs of all time that is locked to a platform with a curator that does not care about the genre at all as they are too focused on "western" games. This game slaps all the right ways
Truly one of my favorite games of all time - a friend gave it to me in high school on a whim, and I became so enraptured that I'm still hauling out my old PS2 almost 20 years later to play it again! I'd never played a SO game before, but the story and mechanics in this one blend so beautifully, and the narrative heel turn it takes still charms me. I've even still got my old Bradley guide (held together by duct tape), SO3 is really one of the absolute best!
In my opinion the peak of the series. Entries after all have flaws, overcomplicated combat, terrible AI, or just downright malfunctional. But TTEOT exemplifies the JRPG genre in the best ways. Fun, yet challenging combat that had no problem punishing you if you weren't prepared. A crafting minigame that WASN'T a slog, a compelling story that kept me on the edge of my seat and well rounded, interesting characters that were written well enough to make me care for them. The PS2 holds some of the greatest RPGs in history, and this game definitely deserves to be preserved along with them.
I would love to see this game ported here. It was the first JRPG I ever played, and it inspired me to play more JRPGs. This game needs a port because it is only on the PS2. So a port would be great PLZ GOG.
one of the first star ocean games i beat. i got this game back in the day on day one release. since its been made available on ps4/5 i have played and beat it a few more times. i would love for this to be available on pc

I will GLADLY tell my story. It was legit the first Action JRPG I played and it opened the door for me to try other star ocean, tales series, final fantasy, legend of dragoon, and many other titles. As it stands, I can only play this on the ps2, and ps4/5. Ps2 has av connectors that dont play well with lcd and oleds and the ps4 version keeps freezing. This is my last hope (pun).

I remember this game when I was in middleschool. Such memorable music, sound effects, story, characters and so on. I will never forget getting to the final boss and beating the game to find out there are WAY TOUGHER BOSSES post main game. This game has its flaws, but its one of the only games where the flaws cant keep me from returning to play the game. If you too like this game as much as I do, please share this in any jrpg/ star ocean community so that we may one day see this game finally ported to PC. Do keep in mind even though its on PS4/PS5 as downloadble game, there is no garuantee we will have access to it on future PS consoles. Show your support by sharing the link to this page to have others vote for this game to be ported by GOG to PC!!! I appreciate everyone who vores/ shares the link.
Those games also need your vote!

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.

Shining Force
Shining ForceShining Force is a turn-based tactical RPG. Battles take place in square grids, and each unit occupies 1 square. Units can belong to one of two sides: allies (controlled by the player) or enemies (controlled by the computer AI). Each unit can move up to a fixed amount of squares along the battlefield, determined by its Move statistic. Depending on its location relative to enemies and to allies, a unit also has the option to attack, cast a spell, use an item, search (if adjacent to a treasure chest), or stay and do nothing, all of which end the unit's turn. Some commands, such as equipping or dropping items, don't count as actions, and the character's turn is able to continue. The order of the turns is determined by the unit's agility score and a random seed. Units can use offensive actions, such as physical attacks or offensive magic, only on units belonging to the other side and can use supportive actions, such as healing magic, stat-enhancing magic, and items, only on units belonging to the same side.
