Okami is very similar to Zelda games while Odin sphere is an action game at heart with a very long, RPG-eque story. Both of those are good.
Nocturne is kinda like pokemon on hallucinagens. You collect deities and they fight for you. The combat get incredibly tedious, and it's not an easy game, but it's not without its charm.
All the Tales games are really fun to play. They're also usually light hearted, with complex, but cheesy stories. If you can deal w/ the corniness, you'll be enjoying one of the least tedious battle systems in RPGs.
Valkyrie profile 2 is basically unplayable if you haven't played the first because the story will make 0 sense. If you have played the first, it's a really fun game that gives you buttloads of characters and the battle system is designed in a way that's semi-real time. It lets you experiment a crapton with specific combos between different characters as well as big picture strategy. From equipped skills to character choice to attack choice from each character, combo possibilities alone are all insane let alone big picture strategies.
