I would say Kingdom Hearts and then Suikoden IV. If you don't enjoy A-JRPG's that much, then Suikoden IV is the way to go.

Nooooooooooooooooo. Suikoden IV sucks. Its the worst Suikoden ever. If you can, get Suikoden V.

Of the ones you mentioned: FFX (one of the worst FF to me but its more a traditional JRPG than say Kingdom hearts).

Never played Disgaea though so I dont know.

All I know it there was a time in my life I absolutely loved JRPG and I still hated Suikoden IV

I actually enjoyed Suikoden IV a lot, but I agree with you, Suikoden V is way better

Out of that list, FFX is the one I would recommend as the last option. Not that I disliked it, but to me, it's the worst option there. KH takes the top spot, but that's because I'm a major KH fan xD.

While Suikoden IV might be at the bottom when compared to 1-3 and 5, it is still better than most.  I did enjoy the "prequel"ness of it and if you have not played any of the other Suikdoen games it would be a good place to start.  Hell, while you do not NEED to play any of them to enjoy the others, they are definitely better if you do. 

Odin Sphere is probably the most "japanese" of all the games listed above.  It is a fanstic Action RPG and it is Atlus in whom you can never go wrong. 

Best two Dev/Publishers on the PS2 for RPGs is easily Atlus and NIS for your pure "anime" feel RPGs.

Completely agree with you there. Atlus are a fantastic developer and pretty much one of the best developers overall, not only in the RPG department. 

I've been with them since BlaZeon and they've yet to do a game that was a big disappointment to me.
