Xenosaga is a bit interesting but way too slow in parts so I couldnt finish it and its more like Final Fantasy than SoM. Final Fantasy X was really the only RPG I was interested in enough to play it through to the end on PS2 which was a huge letdown considering how many great rpgs there were on PSOne.

If you manage to find a copy, Persona 4 is an incredible mature RPG.

Any of the King's Field series. Its first person rpg, very lonely, very creepy, very addicting. The character starts out slow and a wimp, and as you gain levels, he begins to kick butt.
