Go with the Suikoden series. Games 1 and 2 are pretty good, 3 is good, 4 is decent, and from I have played of 5, it seems to be better than 4. Suikoden 1 + 2 are for PS though and they aren't cheap, so Suikoden 3 is a good bet for ya (PS2).

What do you consider as being a good rpg? I'm tired of the games where battles zoom into a turn based one on one hitfest (FF series) and prefer combat like FF tactics.

If you like Rpgs in wich characters can be builded (as FFXII) but you are tired of the basic system, then you could try "Makai Kingdom". It's a Tactical Rpg wich allows high level of customization in chars and scenarios, and gives great freedom to play.

Shin megami Tensei III Nocturne is a good choice If you're getting sick of Final Fantasy or maybe try Digital Devil Saga.

Digital Devil Saga is expensive X_x
Try Disgaea, a tactics type of battle system, tons of customization , and pretty good story. You can litterally level your guys up to level 3000
Heres a good site to look up RPGs

final fantasy VII and VIII both are awesome and i considered them better than X
then God of War series, i'm not sure if it's actually considered an rpg, more like a real time rpg or something.... actually kinda like kingdom hearts or something

Depends on what you're after honestly. However here are some recommendations and why:
Xenosaga series: Great if you want a deep (and somewhat complicated) story. Some very profound themes are explored during the course of this series. If you shy away from LOTS of dialog however, you might wanna avoid this one.
Xenogears: Its a PS1 game, but this game is a bloody legend (its BASICLY the same storyline as Xenosaga, but altered because of copyright infringements, long story story... look it up if you're interested) Its dated but this has to be one of my favorite games of all time. Brilliantly done (Disk 2 was a bit meh tho, you'll understand if you decide to play it). Again, heavy on dialog, but not as bad as Xenosaga, at least I didn't find it as bad anyway.
Disgaea 1 and 2: Tactical RPGs with a strong focus on building charaters. If you want to make a character so obliviously powerful that it could 1shot.... well......anything, you might just enjoy these games. (hint: the lvl limit is 9999, that should give ya an idea of how stupidly strong you can get). The stories are fun and wacky and the gameplay is great, if tactical RPGs are your cup of tea....
Shadow Hearts 2: A more traditional RPG, VERY similar in many ways to the Final Fantasy series, with a dark humored twist. The ring system keeps battles surprisingly refreshing, since its not just: select, attack, next person in line, select, attack, ect ect... The story is profound at times, hilarious at others and serious as well, and AT THE RIGHT TIMES TOO, it flows very well. Its got a bittersweet romantic theme as well.
(Note: Shadow Hearts 1 is the prequel to this game's story, explains ALOT but not really neccessary to play SH2. SH3 isnt bad, but I enjoyed the 2nd one MUCH MUCH more.)
Valkary Profile Silmeria: Now this is perhaps pushing the line on "RPG" (in a more traditional sense anyway) but its been mentioned and its also a great game so I'll expand on it a bit. The combat system is much more "real time" than your traditional RPG, and flows rather well, tho I did find it a bit difficult at times (it was nice to see a challenge however, many RPGs I find a bit easy at time). Good story and the graphics are quite beautiful (I dont mention graphics much, since I think it shouldnt matter, within reason of course, but there are some breathtaking scenes to take in sometimes so its definately worth a mention here).
Many others have been mentioned as well in this threat allready, but I either dont know enough about them to say either way or I've decided to not mention them by matter of personal preference (This post is big enuf as it is!). There's really no wrong answer, look up the games mentioned and see what you think for yourself. The above are just my personal recommendations. Good Luck!

I was going to say Legend of Dragoon, not a PS2 title, but a 4 disc PS1 game. It has random battles that can really annoy but the story and gameplay make up for it. Also the battle system is pretty good, you just need to get your timing down!(If you play it you'll know what I mean)
I've been meaning to play Rouge Galaxy since it looks amazing. Other than that, I would suggest Xenosaga 1 (I beat it but dilike the changes made to Xenosaga 2) the only drawback is the lengthy cutscenes.

Persona 3, any Shadow Hearts, any Final Fantasy, Grandia 3 (I heard the story was pretty cookie cuttered, but the action is awesome), Rouge Galaxy, Odin Sphere (is 2d-ish and is said to way good). Thats about all I can think of. Too bad I never played any of them.

Well in the end, I bought persona 3 and its a really awesome game and i recommend it to anyone else looking for a good rpg
But man its a pretty rare game to find which is why i bought it because i can get the other games more easily

Disgaea is hilariously good, alot of gameplay and good story, also the humor is terrific.
zenosaga is also one of my favorite all time series with long long gameplay and story.

They're a little different but its worth trying games from Nippon Ichi, Gust, Atlus, and VanillaWare (I played and liked all of these):
Disgaea Hour of Darkness, Odin Sphere, Soul Nomad, La Pucelle, Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom
You can just go to GameFAQs to look up a list of games by those companies by clicking their name when you check out any one of these titles.
[Edit] Forgot about Xenosaga. If not all 3, at least the first game is very much worth playing.
