When I think back, Final Fantasy X ranks surprisingly high for me. The highest of all actually, well...
...along with Dark Cloud 2 and Disgaea, both great games in their own ways. But similar in that they're very immersive and massive in size and possibilites.
EDIT: Damn, forgot about Dragon Quarter, it's up there with the best too. Awesome atmosphere and gameplay.
Suikoden III follows. I consider Suikoden II one of the best RPG's ever, and Suikoden III was a letdown. Not bad, I really liked the atmosphere and the potential the game had, but it just never fully developed into something memorable.
Wild Arms 3 is at the same level as Suikoden III.
EDIT: Forgot about Xenosaga too. It's at the same level as Wild Arms 3 and Suikoden III IMO. Not nearly as good as Xenogears though.
Arc the Lad is quite cliché in its characters and story, but I can stand a cliché game every now and then. A nice little game, and the music, especially in battles, was cool.
Final Fantasy X-2 seemed to be interesting at first, but it's frustrating in that it's basically a lot of small stories and sub-quests tied into a full game. It feels unfocused, like some kind of playground for Final Fantasy X lovers. A cool ability system and fast battle system, so it was still decent fun.
