Add in my vote for Suikoden. Although I liked Suikoden I better than II. Suiko2 was too long, and you had to a lot of dull, repetitive sidequests to get your 108 stars. The first Suikoden was short but fast-paced. Suiko2's army battles were definitely better than the glorified game of rock, paper, scissors that were the duels and army battles--which is what makes everyone slam on Suikoden I--but it's an RPG, not a tactics game. Screw the large-scale battles.
