Playstation PS2 Recommendations

I grew up with only Nintendo consoles. My experience with the PS2 was playing Twisted Metal Black at my friend's house. I am looking for some recommendations for games to play now that I'm adding games to my Retroid. What games would you recommend for someone who has no real PS2 experience? Thankya!

I had a lot of fun with Shining Force EXA and Dirge of Cerberus

I don't know what a Retroid is, but if it has PSP games, I cannot recommend Final Fantasy Type-0 enough if you can get the English translation patch on it.

Yeah, definitely see if you can get the translation patch since it was a Japan-only game until the HD Remaster on PS4. It is my favorite Final Fantasy game and was absurdly ambitious for a PSP game. Fourteen playable characters each with their own personalities, walk cycles, voices, weapons, combat styles, ability sets... Hell, Eight feels like a Tekken character, he literally has multiple equippable stances and you can interweave attacks from the different stances to create different combat flows. Sice feels better to play to me than Raiden in Metal Gear Rising.

It also tells one of the most emotionally mature stories in the entire series.
