It really comes down to preference. If you looking for something with a bit of old school flare go with Lost Odyssey. If you want a game with a great story and tons of fleshed out characters go with Tales of Vesperia. If you wanting a JRPG with one of the best battle systems ever with gorgeous graphics to boot go with Star Ocean:TLH. I own them all and love em all.
On a side note as for The Last Remnant I only played it with the game installed on my harddrive but when I played it the only issues were the occassional popin pop out graphics (nore the UE3's fault here) and somewhat long load times (keep in mind installing the game helps eleviate both a bit). I enjoyed the story and gameplay in The Last Remnant so I would say you should give it a shot as well.
How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...
Xbox 360 wants to Kinect & PS3 wants to Move! Why are both systems having such relationship problems? The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.
