Try Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber.

It is pretty great, though a somewhat acquired taste.

And listen, in Vagrant Story, pick a weapon for each enemy type and use that weapon exclusively for each type. Trust me, you'll need it for a couple of early bosses.

My anti-dragon weapon leveled up a few times against the first freaking dragon boss...

First Dragon boss is actually easy. It's when you get to the Wyvern a few bosses later that things can go ape-shit on you. My Iron Spear has +25 to dragons and 13 piercing, and I barely scratch over 20 damage to it >_>

Well, I meant the first dragon-y boss outside of the intro, I guess that's the Wyvern.

I think I was doing like 5 or 7 damage per hit by the end, but I started off doing about ONE.

On the plus side I got really good at dodging its attacks.

Nope, the intro has a weakened Wyvern. Then there's a Dragon fight in the basement of Lea Monde, right before you go to the streets for the first time. The Wyvern comes a few moments later on the abandoned mine, but this time it's in full strength.

Dragon was easier for me than Wyvern because I farmed off Lizardmen for a while, so I was at +13 Dragon when I fought it. Even so, I started doing 10ish at best, ended up doing 15-16.
