This should be in General Gaming.
Anyway, try Tales of Symphonia. You can't go wrong with that one. :)
Baten Kaitos.
Secret of Mana.
Super Mario RPG.
Wait one month, then get Mass Effect.
Oh oh, watch out for soul dragon and his long list of RPG's.
Suikoden 2 & 5
I second the Tales of series.
And the Shin Megami Tensei series. Persona 3 just came out. And Digital Devil Saga is good too.
I third the Tales series.
Get Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn for the PC. It kicks most RPG's asses. However, the console Baldur's Gates suck and shame the series, so go PC. It will be refreshing to anyone who has never played a PC-style RPG.
Every console out there has a good RPG to play. Here's a list of what I recommend playing
SNES
Super Mario RPG
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound
Breath of Fire(A GBA version of this game exists)
Breath of Fire II(there is also a GBA version of this game and can also be downloaded on the Wii)
N64
Paper Mario(can be downloaded on the Wii)
Gamecube
Tales of Symphonia
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Mega Man X Command Mission(also available on the PS2)
Phantasy Star Online Ep.1 & 2(Online service doesn't exist anymore, but can be played single player and 4 player co-op)
Paper Mario 2:Thousand Year Old Door
Fire Emblem:Path of Radiance
Wii
Super Paper Mario
GBC
Dragon Warrior I & II
Dragon Warrior III
Crystalis
Shadowgate
(These GBC games are also available on the NES)
GBA
Golden Sun
Golden Sun 2
Shining Force:Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
Fire Emblem
Tales of Phantasia
Mega Man Battle Network 2
PS1
Chrono Cross
Tales of Destiny II(a.k.a Tales of Eternia)
Legend of Dragoon
Threads of Fate
Breath of Fire IV
PS2
Tales of Legendia
Tales of the Abyss
Crossblades has just listed a rather comprehensive list. Although I've not played all of them, I second the recommendation of Chrono Trigger, Fire Emblem (6-8 on the GBA, 9 on the GC) and Earthbound. I commend your tastes that you've played the Shadow Hearts games too. :)
The Grandia games are well worth taking a look at and so are the Lunar games. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (PSX) is well worth a play, but it's a rather difficult RPG. Lunar Legend for the GBA is a remake of it, though I've been told that Lunar: SSSC is superior to Legend. I can't really comment having only played Legend, but even that's well worth a play.
Sega-
Phantasy Star IV
Shining Force I
Shining Force II
Sword of Vermilion
and now I'm going to try not to get laughed out of here.
Valkyrie Profile 2 if you're looking from something more recent.
It's different and has a pretty tricky learning curve to get good at it (Which... I'm still learning -_-;)...
Guild Wars: Platinum, Factions and Nightfall are pretty great, you'll like those, they are for the PC though... and are online only.
Disgaea 2!
You'll never evar evar find it lawl, It's the best thing in the ever though.
among many others!
Well, for PS2...
Grandia 3
Persona 3
Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2
Tales of the Abyss
Xenosaga 1, 2 & 3
Wild Arms 5
Rogue Galaxy
Valkyrie Profile 2
Shadow of the Colossus
Kingdom Heats 1 & 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 5
