I think you should give Shiren the Wanderer on the DS a try. It's kind of hardcore, but it's something you can play over and over and it will be a little different each time. Well... you *will* play it over and over, because when you die you lose all your EXP and money and any items you don't have in storage and you start over from the beginning. But it's part of the 'fun', once you realize that the point is not to level-up the character in the game, but rather 'level-up' you the player as you learn all the tricks of the random items and monsters. If you can handle it.
