ok I have to say the following list are all great games in the non square RPG area of the market:

~ Any of the forgotten realms games based on the D&D system - Baulders Gate, diablo, icewind dale, never winter nights.

~ The Fallout games, sheer brilliance and addiction qualities.

~ Morrow wind, under estimated but can be quite good fun

~ Shenmue 1 & 2 on dreamcast

~ Grandia 1 not 2, 2 sucked really

~ Jade cocoon 1 & 2, good cross between pokemon and other traditional RPG elements the second is a little kiddy for my liking and thank god the puzzles don't rely on sound I had to mute the tv to play them still gotta love my mp3 collection.

~ Legends of dragoon, so called "Sony's answer to FF" developed whilst the future of square hung in the balance it failed in many areas but no more than grandia failed in the fact that they could have had a much better graphics engine

~ Star ocean the second story, only played around 30 mins of this but seemed enjoyable
