I'll check out Mana Khemia and Avalon Code (I've seen them talked about in magazines, but I haven't really looked into them very deeply). Also, I meant to put Lux Pain on my list. :D I'm not putting Parasite Eve 2 on there until I play the first one and decide if I really really like it.
I played the first Suikoden a few years ago and I didn't care a lot for it. I finished it, just for the sake of completion, but it left me feeling kinda bleh. It's so far the only JRPG that I've sold after beating. I keep them in case I want to replay them years down the road, but I knew I'd never play Suikoden again. I might someday play a more modern installment, just to see if things have changed in a way I like, but it's kinda low on my list of "might want to buy them" games. XD
Avalon Code's awesome. I traded in a bunch of games to get it yesterday. It's gonna be rare though. I had to check 3 stores to find a copy (in the first week it's out!). Visited my local store after work, had them call and check when they didn't have it. The third store had one left - the clerk'd bought the other one.
If you try another Suikoden, I recommend either Suikoden 3 (PS2) or Suikoden 5 (PS2). Suikoden 4's good and all, but its too focused on ship traveling. 3 is the best, 2 is second best (but hard as hell to find since its PS1) and 5's third best.
Well, you guys have convinced me. I'm gonna try to get Suikoden 3-5 (mainly because they're surprisingly affordable). Haha, I'm already browsing ebay and making offers (God I love that "best offer" feature, I keep getting great deals).
Know of any other cheap JRPG's for any of the systems I have (PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, 360, PSP, DS, GBA, SNES)?

I did like Suikoden 5 a lot too. :D
I wish they'd released that Suikoden I & II PSP game in the US.
