What platforms do you possess? Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei are two of the most important JRPG series aside from FF and the like, so you could give them a go. Persona 3 especially is a good starting point for SMT
I concur with Fynn. SMT is a fantastic JRPG series. Either SMT: IV or Persona 3 is a good introduction to the series as a whole. SMT is very story-driven, while Persona is much character-driven; take your preference, really. I prefer character-driven plots, but SMT IV is grabbing my attention so far.
