Does the game have to be on a Sony console?

I'd play...

-Tales of Symphonia
-Tales of the Abyss
-The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
-Dragonquest VIII
-Pretty much any Pokemon game for a portable console (excluding crap like Pokemon Dungeon and Pinball)
-Kingdom Hearts
-Fable: The Lost Chapters
-Blue Dragon

The plot and battles are passable at the very least for each game.

Dragon Quest VIII is a good one, battle system is same as FF and the story is cracking

It's a pain for trianing tho as the only things that give really good exp are elusive little metal slime buggers

The caino makes up for it though

Also try Kingdom Hearts, Im playing the first one myself and I'm really rather addicted Altho getting lost alot takes the michael

For PS1:

Legend of Dragoon
Chrono Cross
Vagrant Story
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Destiny 2

and any FF you haven't played


For PS2:

Tales of Legendia
Tales of the Abyss
Xenosaga Episode I

Xenosaga Episode III
Wild Arms 3
Wild Arms 4
Wild Arms 5

I would recommend more, but I think this is a good list for the Sony Playstation systems.

Oh I totally missed the PS1 part

Breath of Fire 3 is really good, again, the battle system is turn based and it's got a lovely little story line. Plus you get to change into a dragon. Win

As others have said oblivion and xenogears are both incredibly good games.

for playstation 2:
Persona 3
Persona 3
Persona 3
Persona 3
Another fucking copy of Persona 3

Actually, I wouldn't waste your money on persona 3 since persona 3 fes comes out within the month (at least it does here in the states)

If you can get your hands on Lunar 1 or 2, you might like it. I still have to get Lunar 1, but Lunar 2 was very enjoyable indeed.

Also, Grandia. Yes, a must play! Battle system has always been a favorite for many fans, and the storyline is very engrossing. At least I think so anyway.

Arc the Lad is cool too, if you like 2D style. The story is quite interesting enough. Battle system is simple, but fun nonetheless.

You know... I've only ever played Persona 2, and I wasn't impressed.

But that does remind me of two more for the PS1...

Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve 2.

God I wish they'd make a third.

I agree! I completely enjoyed the first and second game, and while it is indeed an action game through and through, it also has that RPG standards anyway, so that counts for something. It's just a mixture of RPG and sci-fi action, which is a good combination if you ask me.
