Skies of Arcadia... Now that's a good one.
I was thinking on this, and I found it kind of hard to answer. I like a lot of JRPGs, but I wasn't sure if it was because of other elements, such as combat system, characters, music, etc. When I think about JRPGs I love on story alone, I realize the stories aren't all that interesting.
Perhaps Chrono Trigger and Tales of Symphonia?
Dance my pretties!
