Anyone know any mildly appropriate, cute, fun, explorative games?

I like games that are mildly appropriate(not much bloodshed), fun, cute, and full of exploration. For example, I love Kingdom Hearts I & II because there's so many worlds, and the main character(Sora) is not only attractive, but kind and wholesome. I also like the fighting, because it brings some RAGE in the game.

Another game I like is the Harvest Moon Series, which is simulation farming with no violence. The point of that game is to fall in love and take care of animals in your small village. There is not much exploring, however, which is why it gets kind of boring.

I also enjoy the Sims 2, which I'm sure most of you know about.

 These are examples of games I like. I want to know if there are any games like this on PS2 or Gamecube. I like games with adorable, hot, maybe even lovely characters, plenty of options and creativity required(or just exploring), and ones that have a story to it. I'm not a big fan of arcade games, since I love RPG.

Thank you and please give me your best suggestions.

Dragon Quest VIII has as much exploration as I can think of in a game...

i suggest you to read the review of the game, Dark Cloud 2 and check its images
