Something Witty pretty much nailed it, but…

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment: The sequel to a game that didn’t come out in the US (P2: Innocent Sin). Very good game, and not to hard to find because it was reissued. Persona: Revelations was the first game to be brought to the states…but it costs ~$100 on Ebay, so this is about as far back as you can easily go.

The two Digital Devil Sagas are probably the most similar to a standard “Final Fantasy” RPG, and the story is full of Hindu mythology and symbolism. If you’re interested in eastern religions, this is a great game to play.

Also, Persona 3 had a huge level of success, and it is a damn good game. Essentially, this is the game I’d recommend playing first, if only because the FES edition of the game has been released, and only costs $30.

Oh, my PS2 sadly isn’t even hooked up right now. I was kind of hoping for something I could play on my DS but it doesn’t look like that’s an option Log in to see images!
