Recommend me a good PS1/PS2 JRPG

Shadow Hearts: Covenant  It's the second one, it got really good reviews. And it's my 2nd favorite PS2 JRPG to FFX.  
It's also developed by a large of the amount of people who co-developed lost odyssey. Nauhtilus or something like that they changed their names like 3 times.
I actually found the Lost Odyssey battle system, a worse version of the judgement ring that's in this series.

Persona 3 FES (though this had only control 1 character like FFXIII,  great story), and Persona 4 (doesn't have this issue, but worse story and characters imo)

I didn't really like many PS2 JRPG's. 

PS1. 
Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve (Make Sure 1, 2 imo sucked). Parasite is probably my favorite story from the PSX generation.
and Suikoden II. Those are kind of staples that everyone recomends though.

I thought legend of dragoon was like power rangers. It entertained me, but don't really ever want to touch it again. I find it's talked about too hightly here even though it was more hokey, and had a decent battle system for back then, but it's been down way better since.

I was avoiding Shadow Hearts: Covanent because it looked so silly, but I keep hearing great things. I'll probably have to try out the game on an emulator before buying it, but if you tell me it's like Lost Odyssey I think I will like it.

Vagrant Story I hear great things about, and I think I will get it.

I have about 30 games to trade in, and this place isn't like EB which gives you shit for old games. So I think I can afford a few titles. Worst case if I don't like it, I trade back. I'll put in my IP which games I decide to get, I'm going to go to the store tomorrow.
