I think of it as sort of an action rpg :P

My favorite is the Shin Megami Tensei series. I love them.

Since you are learning Japanese, you might also like Sakura Wars: So Long My Love. The US version on PS2 has Japanese voice acting if you prefer it.

I have all of these aside from Tales of Fandom, but I'll probably be holding onto them.

There's not really many RPGs that weren't localized in the US worth mentioning. Maybe Code Age Commanders and the Growlanser series, but those aren't pure JRPGs. (Although, neither is KH.) The remake of Dragon Quest V was only released in Japan, though. Popolocrois might interest you if the art style doesn't immediately deter you.

Other recommendations: Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter, Dragon Quest VIII, Gensou Suikoden III. Some other games to potentially consider: Dark Cloud 1 and 2, Radiata Stories, Brave Story, Rogue Galaxy, Romancing Saga, Final Fantasy XII International, Shadow Hearts series, Shin Megami Tensei series.

thanks for the recommendations. I appreciate it. I am jealous of you having all those tales of games. They are my fav. series. I have no idea how im going to get all those tales of games I want...but by god I am going to try as hard as I can.

I do enjoy the SMT series a bit but I dont love them. FF games have always been fairly high on my enjoyment list.

Brave Story, FF XII international and the Dragon Quest V remake for sure interest me also.

I love my KH imports(KH FM, KH II, KH II FM+) but in all honesty if it came down to it, I would let them go for a fair trade of Tales of imports.

If I was you i'd hold onto them also, but if you decide to let any go, you know where to find me. ;)

I am really enjoying Dragon Quest VII. I was shocked by this as I thought I wouldn't like it much at all. So I will have to try DQ VIII and the V remake if I can find em.

I just picked up SMT Nocturne sealed the other day...but im using that as trade bait for other games I want.

Hopefully soon I'll have Final Fantasy X International. Crossing my fingers there.
