oh come now....most games have a "save the world" type context, it's just not as explicitly stated as JRPGs. You're right though, I would like one that deviated a bit, even my favorite JRPG's still follow the "save the world" basic plot.
I suppose perhaps FFXII didn't have a save the world plot. It was more of a "save your country" kinda thing with a war context. Similar, but that's the farthest deviation I could think of off the top of my head.
edit: upon further thought, perhaps disgaea....I can't quite remember if that ever turned into a "save the world" thing.
