Grandia. I can't speak for the sequels as I haven't played them, but the PSX port of the original is fantastic and one of my favourite RPGs of all time. I love everything about the game apart from the shitty as hell English Voice Acting. The battle system is quite possibly the best I've every played in an RPG as well, it's quite similar to the ATB if you needed further convincing.
ATB?
Sega Saturn is the first system going back which I don't have, so I want to complete my collection, well for every Sega, Sony, and Nintendo platform except the Saturn. Games for that system are expensive, and I'm only interested in 2-3 titles. I will likely get Grandia for PS1.
Active Time Battle System - the battle system used in Final Fantasies IV-IX, Chrono Trigger and a slight varient used in Xenogears. As you'll see in the embedded video, the Grandia system is very similar:
That took waaaaaay too freaking long for a simple fight :/
