I like Shadow Hearts 1, but you can skip it and go to 2 since people think 1 is "rare" now and will want too much money for it.

So Shadow Hearts 2 ^_^ It's not futuristic, but it's not medieval either... So I dunno if it will make you do the happy-dance or whatnot. Most of it is really funny, but there's a good emotional backbone in there too. And the battle system is fun stuff.
