I played the Dragoon demo years ago, but I never got around to getting the actual game. What I played was really good though.
I'm not much of a turn-based RPG player, but I really love the Shin Megami Tensei series. They're a bit darker than most RPGs I've seen, but I think the stories are great. Only problem is is that they're a bit rare. SMT: Persona 3: FES was released recently, so you might be able to find that easily.
