If so play Shadow hearts!!!!!!

Good game, but I wouldn't call the story epic. It was kinda corny, TBH.

Chrono Cross!!! It was one of the best RPG I ever played.
Read Gamespot review HERE and other reviews/scores in GameRanking HERE.

Looks like you didn't read the "1000 years dreams".
It made the story.

In Japan, these dreams from the game has been released in a book.

I've never played a JRPG with a more adult story than Lost Odyssey.
Real emotions.

Tales of Symphonia.

Grandia ... I spent 85 hours on it.

These are all great games. Suikoden 4 is the only question mark as it is the least recommended of all suikoden games. However, I haven't played Suikoden 4 yet, I am halfway done on II (on my PSP) and started chapter 1 for Chris on III.

I would also recommend you get suikoden 1 on PSN. It is an awesome game for just $5.99.

After Grandia, TOS may be a good option. Grandia has the best battle system but TOS is pretty good too.

Get Grandia 2 and 3 once you are done.
