Did I already mention Ogre Battle?

Not to mention Final Fantasy Tactics, Brigandine, and the Suikoden and Vandal Hearts series, all for the original playstation, thus cheap (if you can find them) and presumably capable of being played via PS emulators. All of them had different manners of fantasy combat with different units / critters / professions, etc.

Or action / RPGs such as Vagrant Story (one of the most amazing things I ever saw on the PS, with great characters, cut scenes, and voiceovers : "Shouldn't we wait for the reinforcements?" "I am the reinforcements." Or Valkyrie Profile, or various other gems that came to be on the consoles.

You have cited the best of the best of the PS games, I think these almost unknown games are the best of the best in "athmosphere" and story. They have a mysterious, obscure and dramatic story. PC games are nowhere near (reagarding script).
It is impressive how, in the modern days, high tech is cheap and good ideas are scarce (I'm thinking of SWep3, but the concept is similar)
