Not much choice, Valkyria Chronicles is very good for 1 play through.
Star Ocean 4 has a good battle system and if you've played the older SOs it's very similar which is how I like my series (*ugh* ff13*). But it has one of the worst VA's, "Acting", Camera controls/ Movement for a game. Also the bosses are really hard and your characters will die a lot.
Theres also Resonance of Fate which my friend Platinumed. He said it was a very grindy game but the battles were great, a bit of a steep learning curve though. He also enjoyed the story and some of the quests. That's all I know about Resonance of Fate.
White Knight Chronicles on the other hand, from what I've heard has a spectacular online component and if you prefer that over solo play then it might be a good pick up for you.
I recommend Yakuza 3 but it isn't a JRPG but more of an Action JRPG. It's a great game with awesome quests and story but if you don't like Japanese culture or brawl fights then you might not like it.
Disgaea 3 is well Disgaea... grindfest game but has a ton of humor and silly characters.
Haven't played Eternal Sonata as I'm waiting for my friend to finish it and I'll have a go.
What I want from a game.
Gameplay > Story > Content > Graphics
Visual Style > Graphics
Smooth Camera, Intuitive Controls
Friction! When everything feels right!
