I can't think of any off the top of my head.
There was a Lord of the Rings games several years ago produced by an English speaking company that was meant to look and feel like Final Fantasy X, I think, but I couldn't stand it was for what it was. I never finished the game. I think there might be other similar titles that use the Japanese role-playing game formula, but I can't think of any other specific examples, either.
