You have FFX-2 but not FFX? I'd recommend playing through the first one, then.

Personally I think that FFX is the best of the series, and probably one of the finest RPGs ever made.  You should definitely try it if you liked the other FF games you mentioned.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of the best games I've played on the system (and can be quite hard at times) I also like the Ace Combats too--4 is the best and is fairly cheep now since it's like 4-5 years old.

Lego Star Wars II is the single most enjoyable video game I've ever played. I love it.

Oh, I had to break out my list of game.  Here are my suggestions:

PS1 games:
Ape Escape (capture the monkeys)
Abe's Oddysee (hilarious use of "speech" in any game I've seen)
Pipe Dreams 3D (an addicting puzzler)
Chrono Cross (multipath/multicharacter rpg)
Final Fantasy IX (Vivi!!!!)
Final Fantasy Tactics (what's your sign?)
Legend of Dragoon (first RPG I ever finished and still good today even if the graphics are a bit blocky)
Legend of Legaia (an RPG with mist....)

PS2 games:
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits (where your enemy will become your friend)
Balder's Gate: Dark Alliance (hack and slash your way through the throngs of enemy)
Champions of Norrath (see above)
Dark Cloud (you said you had the second one)
Ever Grace (two story lines, but how will they cross?)
Jak & Daxter (platformer with some humor)
Kingdom Hearts (Disney meets Square Enix)
Maximo and the Army of Zen (nothing like fighting the hordes of the undead in your boxers)
Ratchet & Clank (another platformer with humor)
SSX Tricky (snowboarding uber tricks . . . enough said)
Time Splitters (shoot first, ask questions. . . no just shoot first)
Xenosaga (only if you like watching movies while occassionally playing a video game)

I like driving games myself, and the fun ones not the simulator ones like Gran Tourismo. I mean, GT can be fun, but I have to have my husband pass all my tests for me, or play his memory card, to do any of the fun races. If that is something you are into you might like that one. Personally, I like Need for Speed, most of its incarnations, and the Burn Out series, but I like Burn Out: Revenge the most.

I also like the FF games, and am with the others in suggesting FFX. Especially if you have and enjoy FFX-2. My husband has Legacy of Kain and the Grand Theft Auto series, most of them anyway, and loves those. I guess it just depends on the kind of games that you enjoy, or maybe want to try out for something new.

Well, just because of my younger brother, I would have to say Guilty Gear X2 I have hours logged in the hundreds and hundreds on that game. Then, Xenosaga (just the first, haven't done the 3rd yet.. I was very disappointed with the 2nd), FFX (Conquered, even beat Nemesis... OoooOOooohh), and Star Ocean: Till the end of time.

Also,  Dance Dance Revolution. I am a dork about that.

Otherwise it is just a lot of strategy games on the computer.. My all time favorites, bar none, doesn't matter anything else. I will take a strategy over it.

Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 3, Armored Core 3

I just could never get into Armored Core, I think I have 3 and the controls just turned me off.

Don't care for Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits either, didn't like some things about the combat system and couldn't get into the story (thought it was bad).

I think the controls for Armored Core are the same since the original.  The story in all of them is kinda strange too, it never actually explains any of it, but just kind of gives you clues to what is going on.  The very core of the plot is about the same in all of them, though (except maybe the un-numbered ones, AC: project phantasm, AC: Last Raven, etc).  I believe AC4 is coming out on PS3 and xbox 360.
