I recommend the ones I've loved:
STELLA DEUS (strategy rpg with lots of secret characters to recruit)
ATELIER IRIS 3 (turn-based rpg with one or two character that can change "classes")
SOUL CALIBUR 3 (fighting and also a quest with your own character)
FINAL FANTASY X and yes, X-2 too (if you haven't played them already in the modern remaster)
ODIN SPHERE (same as above)
SUIKODEN V (lots of characters to recruit, big world to explore, big battles with your army that you could like or not - I didn't, but still)
