Okage the Shadow King is a Playstation 2 Game from 2001 that showed me how amazing an RPG can make you feel when you actually just stop and let yourself explore a universe.
You begin your journey as the apathetic and reluctant Ari, though its up to you how indifferent Ari can be through your choices! Due to your idiotic father’s latest archaeological find and some crazy dance moves over a cheap looking genie bottle your sister becomes cursed to speak the horror of all horrors; PIG LATIN. Some even more insane shit happens and suddenly your sisters curse is lifted but oh no her shadows pink and your shadow issuddenly the one who cursed everyone in the first place;
I mean “Stan!” 😀 (Yey for Censored Localization!) But Sa-Stan can totally help you, once he’s back to full power. It seems after being trapped in a bottle for centuries other ‘Evil Kings’ have sprung up everywhere and tried to steal his title! You are now Stan’s friend/slave and must defeat all the false kings to find the master mind behind all these uprisings!
Did I mention Stan has an adorable butler?? This is James:
He’s always cute and helpful and smooth as fuck with Ari’s mother and helps you out when you’re stuck in the game! AND THE FUCKING DIALOGUE:
THE CUTE MONSTERS YOU FIGHT?
THE Music is so unique and upbeat too, just listening to it screams BAG PIPESADVENTURE!
Plus all the bad ass ladies, and charater art in general.
I don’t want to spoil it all so I’ll stop, even game-play wise but the mechanics are very good for the ps2, loading times are surprisingly short, and leveling up isn’t a complete nightmare. Yeah the dungeons can be hard, but the story is expertly told, and full of hilarious puns and plot lines. The world building is amazing in this game, and the diversity is incredible for a game of its time. Every character is different and full of their own motives, even down to the npcs. Every time I play it I find something new to be in awe and fond about.
Please, Please, find a way to play Okage the Shadow King.

That’s marvelous. Pearl with no concept of money, giving people coupons and notepads and entire newspapers. The concept of checks completely confuses her, she just hands over a box of them and is like “Surely this is sufficient paper. This really isn’t an effective means of barter, but I suppose you know what you’re doing!”
Like every business in town just knows to send Greg an invoice at the end of the month, along with a box of all the useless paper shit Pearl tried to use to “buy” things.
