Need a new (preferably 2D) RPG to play.

I think I'm starting to run out of good 2D RPGs to play. I'll provide a list of RPGs I HAVE played, and if any of you enjoyed another RPG I didn't list I'll take a look into it and hopefully play it. Yes, this list is very SNES/Nintendo heavy. It's what I grew up with. My limited experiences with 3D turn-based RPGs has been very poor, but tend to like 3D action/adventure RPGs. I don't like fancy special effects, I like solid, intuitive gameplay. Any suggestions?

"Action"/Adventure RPGs
ActRaiser (SNES)
SoulBlazer (SNES)
Illusion of Gaia (SNES)
Terranigma (SNES)
Star Ocean (SNES)
Secret of Mana (SNES)
Seiken Densetsu 3 (SNES)
The Legend of Zelda (NES)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GCN)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GCN)

Turn-Based RPGs
Lufia & the Fortress of Doom (SNES)
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES)
Final Fantasy 6/3US (SNES)
Earthbound (SNES)
Super Mario RPG (SNES)
Golden Sun (GBA)

Strategy RPGs
Front Mission (SNES)
Bahamut Lagoon (SNES)
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (SNES)
Ogre Battle 64 (N64)
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (PSX)
Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (GBA)
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA)

Games I started playing but disliked the battle system to the point of not being able to finish it
Tales of Phantasia (SNES)
Star Ocean: The Second Story (PSX)

Games I know I should play but haven't/won't
Chrono Trigger (SNES)
Final Fantasy __ (Misc)

And yes, I used to play Pokemon. Some asshole stole all my Gameboy/GBA games, and I have refused to re-purchase any of them since. I played everything up until Crystal. Christ, I've played a lot of RPGs. Need MORE!

Nice list man!

I suggest the Zelda game for the GBAdvance (also playable on the Nintendo DS).. I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.. Oh, The Minish Cap!

Hmm.. I'll think up other ones later.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

Aww no Chrono Trigger or FFVII? That's too bad. I never played too many 2D RPG's so I can't say.

I see that you're not into turn based stuff, but you ought to give Final Fantasy VII a shot some time. Might still be my favorite game all time. Truly amazing.

Have you tried the Fallout series of games on the PC? I really had a lot of fun with them.

Final Fantasy VII is the freaking awesomeness! I've played the game three times from start to finish. The first time I played it, ... wasted 67 hours of my life. I went through the game again five or so years after that and got the time down in half. Then I bought the strategy guide and I have the entire soundtrack of all the music in the game. One of my cats name ... take a guess. 🙂

You could always call your firstborn Red XIII if Could Strife won't go through with the mommy.
