PS2 RPGs, eh?

Wild Arms 3 - If you don't mind old titles (I mean, you can get it for $10 or less now), but despite the predictable story, it's a very good time.
Wild Arms 5 - Takes the battle system from Wild Arms 4 (the only notable part of that game) and adds a story with easily identifiable themes, but manages to have humorous dialogue.
Shadow Hearts: Covenant - If you can get your hands on this, BUY IT. JRPGs (sans Disgaea) don't get much weirder than this.
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 - One of the best battle systems, improving on Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne's press turn system, wonderful OST, wonderful story...simply amazing, if you play these two games.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES - Persona 3 has definitely mentioned before, but if you are interested, get FES.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 - Improves on Persona 4 in every way. Sure, there's only two more "dating sim" stats to raise, but the characters are bearable at the very least, the voice acting is surprisingly good, the story is compelling, and the battle system is much improved when compared to Persona 3's. Not to mention that Persona 4 got rid of an annoying element from Persona 3 that determined how you performed in battle/who you could use in battle.
