I never completed Vagrant Story, unfortunately. However, is one of my biggest recommendations to you, along with Breath of fire 4.

Vagrant Story is a unique RPG. It's battle system is completely different from any other RPG, and in my opinion, absolutely awsome (although it may be a littlle hard to get used to some of it's features at the beginning)

Breath of Fire 4 has some of those "cute" factors, but well, I'm not one who really looks much into that, but ito the game's plot, gameplay, and graphics. And it indeed has a 9 or 10 in such categories for me (although the ending sucks big time IMO)

You should also take a look at Xenogears, I've heard that it's one of the best RPG's in story because of it's plot, and well, it's anime sequences and stuff. I haven't played it that much, though.

THREADS OF FATE: Probably you'll want this one. I owned it and played it with the little guy (forgot his name) I think that the game has quite awsome graphics. The storyline is not that bad, and I am sure you'll like it because of it's "cuteness factor" ^_^ However, I didn't like the gameplay that much. I"m not saying it sucks, but I've played several games with a much better gameplay than this game's. However, I'm almost sure you'll want to check out this game.

As for Chrono Cross.... if you like Final Fantasy games, I'm sure you'l like this one. Not as good in storyline as Chrono Trigger, but it's graphics and sound are outstanding, and it's battle system is one of my favorites ever in a RPG. And has a great replay value as well.

I don't have words for Saga Frontier games as I have never played. I've heard they're good games, though.

Oh, and I don't know if you have ever tried Legend of Dragoon... one of my favorite RPG's as well ^_^
