Oh wait, you need the other kind? Hmm... You've played almost all that I have played so I can't really give a good suggestion. Sorry.

 

[Kailias]

ANY DISGAEA GAMES. There are 2 for PS2 one for PS3. Also try Arc the lad: Twilight of spirits on PS2, you won't be sorry.

 

[Amnestic]

Baldur's Gate 2 plus expansion
Mass Effect
KotOR1+2
Jade Empire
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier
The World Ends With You

I would reccomend: Lost Odyssey, Last Remnent, Persona 4...maybe Too Human if you find it cheap, but those games will tide you over until we get some new rpg's. Oh and I hear tales of Vespira (I spelt it wrong but I forgot what it's called) is supposed to be good.

 

[awsome117]

If you have a gameboy or DS(that still can play gameboy games) I would recommend Golden Sun. If for console, Fable.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Play the Kingdom Hearts series, and Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King.

Oh, and if you want some older WRPGs, I think you can get Daggerfall for free legally now, so that's always worth a download.

Also, there's loads of GBA RPGs you could pick up that are worth a play, like Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, the Fire Emblem series, Golden Sun and [/i]Golden Sun 2[/i] and most of the early Final Fantasy games are available for the GBA as well.

 

[A Username Not In Use]

Any Tales of.... series, Symphonia was my favorite, Rogue Galaxy, Skies of Arcadia Legend's

 

[Glerken]

Play the Tales of... Series.
It'll keep you occupied for a while.

 

[tpizle]

sorry i forgot i have also played the kingdom hearts series (deffinately one of my favorites) and i have also played kotor and jade empire, i played lost odyssey but i just couldnt get into it but then again i only played it for like an hour so maybe ill try it again

 

[Susan Arendt]

Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2 or IV on the DS. (Though, really, any Dragon Quest will do) or Persona 4 for the PS2.

 

[Vimbert]

I would recommend Persona 3 & 4, Soul Nomad and the World Eaters, any Disgaea game, Rogue Galaxy, Xenogears, and the Tales Series.

Damn, beat me to the punch! meh, it was the obvious pun...

If you want an RPG, why not try trine? I've heard lots of good things. I can't help you with JRPGs though.

 

[nohorsetown]

You wanna JRPG? I usually recommend Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, but it's expensive and somewhat niche. How about Valkyrie Profile 2? (Haven't played 1, some people say it's a better game, but 2 is pretty sweet IMO). Tales of Symphonia / Tales of the Abyss are pretty good. The Persona series has enjoyed some popularity recently, but personally, I'd recommend Persona 2 (PS1) over 3 (which made the series popular) or 4.

Western RPGs are arguably better in a lotta respects: try Baldur's Gate 1 or 2, Planescape: Torment, Fallout 2 or 3, KOTOR 1 or 2, or some other games along similar lines which I'm weirdly forgetting about right now.

Don't bother hunting down FF8 unless you're obsessed with playing every FF out there. It's kinda almost-universally despised as the worst of 'em. Maybe. Anyway, I hated it.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Digital Devil Saga.

And yeah I definitely recommend Lost Odyssey

 

[dodo1331]

Oblivion.
Fallout 1 + 2.

Try Final Fantasy 9!

One of the best (and underrated) FF games, it's got a brilliant storyline, much better graphics than FF7 and the additional bonus of being set in a more medieval - style world, with ancient castles and lush, green forests which, after the steampunk wastelands of FF7, is sure to feel like a breath of fresh air!

I could also recommend the original Grandia, my all - time favourite game of any category, but it has some compatibility issues and will occasionally freeze when played on a PS2.

If you can live with this, however, you're in for a rare treat. Grandia is a HUGE game, spread across 2 discs and takes about as long to complete as most Final Fantasy games. The storyline never gets boring, the world is richly varied and manages to evoke a genuine feeling of exploration, the characters are some of the most likeable I've seen - it's actually worth getting a PS1 just to be able to play Grandia uninterrupted!

Both games should be readily available on eBay.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and nohorsetown is right - FF8 sucks!

 

[Terramax]

ANY DISGAEA GAMES. There are 2 for PS2 one for PS3.

Definitely play the first Disgaea. If you see a copy of Disgaea 2 though, find the nearest sledge hammer and kill it. KILL KILL KILL!

P.S. it may help if you say what RPGs you've enjoyed most in the past.

Seconded. Both are great and often overlooked games.
