To my experiences, I can only vouch for the Xenosaga series (especially Episode 1), and Dragon Quest VIII. A lot of people also like the Shin Megami Tensei series, as well.

Shadow Hearts: Covenant has a nice modern flavor if FF isn't your cup of tea, but it also still has enough supernaturalism to sustain your need for fantasy adventure. I enjoyed it a lot more than FFXII, and it's one of my all-time favorite PS2 RPGs.

I was also going to say Covenant. Nice pick :)

Level 5 games are all great rpg's. Check out their latest wich is Rogue Galaxy.

As far as classics go, there are the Breath of Fire's... XenoGears... Chrono Trigger...
And new stuff would be like... Tales of Symphonia... Dragon Quest VIII
Not necassarily better but definitely different...
Honestly including Final Fantasy.. Most newer RPGs sucks balls.

i'm sorry to tell you this but it's gonna be extremely hard to find an rpg better than final fantasy . but there are games that are just as good though . like rogue galaxy , kingdom hearts 1 and 2 , xenosaga series , wild arm's series , dark cloud series ,etc . imo there is no one game that surpasses all final fantasy games atleast not in every aspect of what makes a good game . final fantasy is the pinnacle of rpg game and is usualy what other rpg's are judged by . to put it simply , the worst final fantasy game in comparison to other good rpg's is better or atleast just as good . but if you have a next gen system like the ps3 or xbox 360 , i'd pick up Elders Scroll 4 oblivion , this game is just as good and better than final fantasy in some way's .

Try not to look for a specific game, Broaden your view, look for the game company, chances are if the company that made the RPG you like it will havemany other's that you'd like. like square, and sony and what not. and if its too much work, what can i say?

If you're looking for turn based rpgs that are better than FF you're going to be hard pressed now and days. I'd definitley look towards any of the Shin Megami Tensei games (especially digital devil saga, or Nocturne if you can find them for cheap). Umm otherwise I felt Rogue Galaxy definitely delivered. Also give some other Atlus and NIS games a try specifically Ar Tonelico, Magna Carta, Growlanser, Disgaea, Soul Nomad, etc.You're going to be looking at backlog ps2 games mostly though for good rpgs as they are starting to come to a close it seems.

luckily for you, PS2 is the best console for RPGs, so youve got a huge list of excelent games to choose (except those games that never reached USA)

just go to the PS2 section of gamespot and click "top games"; then select "all times" and "Role playing games", and youll get a list of the best PS2 RPGs acording to gamespot

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. Well worth the 100 dollars (if you get lucky and actually find it). Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 are also great.

Dragon Quest 8, Persona 3, Shadow Hearts, and Suikoden are all really good ones that can help you take a break from the FF series.

The only RPG better than final fantasy VII is knights of the old republic II:Sith Lords, and in my opinion this is fact.

Here are a "few" series (*) and games to look into. JRPG's of course as you specifically called out FF. I can name quite a few WRPG's as well. Breath of Fire (Minus Dragon Quarter) * Wild Arms (Minus 3) * Suikoden (Minus IV) * Shin Megami Tensei * Xenogears Xenosaga (Only if you like cutscenes and extremely convoluted plots) * Chrono series * Valkyrie Profile * Dark Cloud * Rogue Galaxy Star Ocean * Dragon Quest * Grandia * Legend of Dragoon Vagrant Story Legend of Legaia * Radiata Stories

Well, it depends on what system, however since you posted in the PS2 section, I'll assume we're talking PS2 RPGs. Dragon Quest, Shin Megami Tensei and its spinoffs (Digital Devil Saga and Persona). If you are into PSOne games at all, then Xenogears is a great choice, also Chrono Trigger (best JRPG ever) which was released in the Final Fantasy Chronicles compilation with Final Fantasy IV.

Using FFX as the reference.... Xenosaga Ep1, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Kingdom Hearts and even though nota RPG, Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, and Yakuza, will be the games that fit closer to FFX's presentation of cinematic style of storytelling. (where FMV's and spoken dialog run not as a reward for gameplay, but to push the story forward.)

Suikoden III & V, Valkyrie Profile 2, Star Ocean 3, Dragon Quest VIII, Radiata Stories, Persona 3, DDS, Nocturne... just about all the other RPG out there, concentrate more on gameplay than on cinematic type FMV's. Kinda like FF12.... In that you have to work for the story more often than not.
