Speaking of which, I'll recommend either Xenogears or DQVIII. I think going from V to VIII would be awesome and you could decide for yourself which yiu think is the better game. Only downside is you might get burned out on the series. Best to come back to DQ as an old friend.

I know you're a Xenosaga fan - don't you wanna see where it all began? Warning - nearly everything about the "game" aspect of it is terrible, whereas everything else is some of the best around.
I suppose I do have a lot of FFs on my list already so taking some off might be a good move. It would be neat to see the similarities in DQV and VIII since I'm not really familiar with the series.

I do know the whole Xenogears story, but yeah the gameplay always felt pretty bad to me so it was hard to keep playing, especially since I knew what would happen anyway xD But I have always wondered how different the story and characters would come across on screen as opposed to just in print
