What rpg should i play?

I've played like... Tales of symphonia, baten kaitos, and  games like zelda and obribion. 
and i want to play like a turn based role playing game thats pretty champy. 
 i dont have a ps3 though, not yet, i'm too cheap to buy it now. but i have everything else. 
I've never really played any final fantasy except for christal chronicles, if anyone remembers that game. 
Any recommendations? 
 

Blue Dragon for Xbox 360 or Dragon Quest VIII for PS2.

Any Pokemon game.

Golden Sun on the GBA

Id recommend Losy Odyyssey, the main "problem" ive seen people bring up with that game is that it does nothing new its "just" a jRPG but since you apparently havent played a lot (or any) turn based jRPG then it would be a good place to start I think, especially since its really easy to get and relativly cheap from what ive seen.

Got a Dreamcast or a Gamecube?  Get Skies of Arcadia.  I loved that game.
 
Failing that, yeah FF 10 was pretty good.  Lost Odyssey on 360 is pretty interesting.

I reccomend Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. 
It was actually quite enjoyable.
 

the new/next Final Fantasy 13 is gonna be great, if you can wait that is. 

Skies of arcadia is pretty hard to find though i think.  it's like a bajillion dollars on ebay.

Wait, what the hell is Obribrion? I've never heard of such a game, and I play some really obscure crap.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest!

Well if you liked Tales of Symphonia then I'd say keep going with that and try Tales of Vesperia. And if you're looking for something cheap I'd say Mana Khemia, I just finished it and it's pretty fun and very addictive.

How come people can never decide on what RPGs to play and keep asking us at GB to decide for them? Strange. Go with FFX, that's great fun despite the rather irritating characters.

In a sense it is, Mainly it's adventure, but you are building your character up, finding new items, and learning new skills, playing a role through a story. So I can see why he would add that, although it is classified under Action/Adventure. "

FFX would be a great choice if you haven't played it before :). Hell, even if you had it would be a great choice.

Mass Effect is a great RPG from BioWare. You can pause it whenever you want to.

The World Ends With You (plus a fuckton of other great JRPGs on the DS)

" @AgentJ:   Not going with the completely obvious choice, eh :P? "

" @AgentJ: 
 
Let me give you a hint: Golden Sun. "

" @AgentJ:   Looks like you just being you: loving Golden Sun, Fallout 3, and Zelda not being an RPG :P. "

" @AgentJ:   I am, too, to an extent: avoid discussing Halo 3, hump Fire Emblem 4 like a horny dog trying to rub all the peanut butter off its crotch (that's the best analogy I could make), and write blogs that people haven't been reading as of late. "

" @AgentJ:   You mean you forget to look at your Friend's Activity tab at the bottom? Besides, I usually try to post them at the same time of day so as to get maximum exposure while I'm available. "

" @AgentJ:   Oh, I will think nothing o-*flash assassination*. Sorry, I've been playing a lot of Assass...well, I can't apologize to you, you're dead. *walks out of thread* "

If you never played a FF before, I'd recommend FFIX, not only because it's my personal favorite, but because it's similar to Tales of Symphonia in that it focuses very strongly on developing its characters (some more than others, but hey). Good luck finding it, though.

If you don't mind long cut-scenes, can stand the thought of Chopin being physically violent, and like attempted deep philosophy, then Eterna Sonata's a pretty decent choice. Seriously, despite the flaws it may have (some will consider them pros), it's a rather enjoyable game with a different enough battle system.  

" @AgentJ:   Oh, shit. The guards are after me. Well,  Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadlineOne swing ahead of the swordOh wait, this isn't the right game at all.  (Also, throat slit? I thought Altair was always wiping a little paper slip on their bloody necks. You know, so he had proof that he killed the guy.) "

Lost Odyssey

Eternal sonata for 360  is okey also persona 3 for ps2

The re-make of the first Persona game just came out on the PSP. I would get that if you have one.
