Most of the Xeno series, Ni no Kuni, FFX (I'll argue to the end of time that X has a great plot, even if the localization issues distracted at times), and so on, off the top of my head. NnK has some gameplay problems though, be warned. If you're gonna play it make sure you're willing to sink 40 hours into a game that doesn't get any deeper in combat.

 
  Xeno series? like xenosaga? i couldnt get into xenoblade so i dont really know if the story gets any good, but xenosaga's story is pretty weak, pretentious and just dumb. Dont get me wrong, as a big FF's fan (and jrpgs in general) i do enjoy silly, over the top  stories but i imho opinion FUN doesnt make it for a good story.

  Ni no kuni story is like the game's weakest aspect, is basically the kind of stories that you read to your kids when the are going to bed.

 

Anyway, i know there arent that many games with good stories out there, but we shouldnt low our standars U_U

Xenobldae has an amazing story.

Xenblade X on the other hand has an okay sotry, but I am only 8 hours in so who knows

 

Also I think your standards are too high, I haven't played Xenosaga but I thought Ni No Kuni had a good story. Yes there may be aspects between stories that are reused, since there are only so many themes that work in certain scenarios, but tha doesn't weaken a story. And besides Ni No Kuni was supposed to have a  story book feel to the story, but that in no way makes the story lack depth or not be as high in quality as other games.

 

 

Now to answer the OP's question, XBC (original), Persona, Ni No Kuni, FFVI, and a lot more
