Also the library for the ps2 was so innovative and broad that it was almost impossible to keep up with every gem especially with the Japanese version being locked to it’s own region at the time.

Oh man I was literally at my local game store earlier and saw seek and destroy for a few dollars. The cover made it seem like one of those really cheap like basic military shooters so I didn't think twice about it. If I knew it was more like that I would have grabbed it. Robotech Battle Cry was a big game for me and my brothers as kids. I still enjoy it a lot. Mainly play it on original xbox. The ps2 versions I bought had this glitch where the cutscenes would skip and the dialogue would end up mixing into the gameplay somehow and would mess up the audio and like once objectives were complete it wouldn't work. The xbox version never had that problem for me at least.

Good stuff man and I hope you had a good new year!

Urban Chaos was a blast in my childhood. It had Time Crisis vibe that just felt good. Bruh, Atelier Iris 3 was what even made me a Atelier fan and couple years ago I started playing the whole franchise and I'm finally at Ryza 2 now (and I literally played like 15 atelier games apart from Nelke since it's just a random non-alchemist girl managing all alchemists in the Atelier franchise which makes no sense since atelier games aren't connected to each other for the most part) I wonder if Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters on PS2 is also a game that no one talks about. I had so much fun with that one.

Makai Kingdom was one of my favourite PS2 games. Phantom Brave was good too (and IMO, has the best music in NIS's catalogue that I've experienced). Both were ported to PC, and Phantom Brave has had a variety of ports over the years. I never got into La Pucelle Tactics though. My first NIS game was Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, and the gameplay of LPT just didn't appeal as much. I had no idea that Kenichi had a game, though a lot of anime with at least some success get tie-in games, and it makes sense that it would be fighting game because of course. I suppose it was just the fact that I never looked into the possibility, and my disinterest in fighting games explains why I never happened upon it.
