Xenogears (which you already own) and Final Fantasy 8 were my two favourites - but I also really liked Final Fantasy 7, Vagrant Story, and the Wild Arms games. Final Fantasy 9 felt more like a watered down FF7, a little more generic in flavour as well - not saying it is bad (I like the game a lot), but take FF7 over it.
If you like Chrono Trigger, get your hands on Skies of Arcadia (for Dreamcast and Gamecube disk for Wii) which has a very similar battle system, character cast, and mood.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
