Tales is the #1 rated JRPG this entire generation, beating out the closest competitor, Disgaea 3 by a comfortable margin.
Having said that, it really depends on what you want for a RPG. If you want action-based, try Oblivion, Mass Effect or Tales of Vesperia.
If you want slower, turnbased gaming, try Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
