Imma do an updated one since I am in to the games further now:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel:
LOVE this game. Great characters, great story, fun gameplay. While it is pretty cookie cutter JRPG, it takes things from a ton of other games I like and mixes them together and it does it really well.

Breath of Fire 3:
Having a lot of fun with it and I really like the characters. The gameplay is fun and I like learning enemy skills. I love the mood whiplash as well.

Grandia II:
Fun, good characters, interesting combat system, good customization, and the story is really starting to draw me in more and more.

Dragon Age: Origins:
Leliana and Dog. I really liked the elf/werewolf storyline.

Earthbound:
Cute and charming, interesting concept of using a modern world and setting and basing enemies and stuff off of that.

Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax:
Lots of good characters and colour swaps that I enjoy.

Project X Zone:
Also many good characters merged together in to one fun game.
