Good luck, I hope you like it. I am playing Suikoden 5 right now. 30 hours into it and so far I am loving it. Chronologicaly 5 is the first (it's a prequel). Unlike FF Suikoden universe is the same in all Suikoden games and each game takes place in a different area with a few years difference. In some cases (Suikoden 1 and 2 e.g.) you can import characters form 1 to help you in 2.
Grandia is awesome but like Suikoden not many people have played it as everyone thinks of FF when they think JRPG. Being on dreamcast did not help Grandia either (it was ported to PS1 and PS2 later on). Now that Squeenix owns Grandia I am hoping for Grandia 4 on PS3 :D
