Been looking for a good OLD rpg here too, there are a lot of ps1 classics on the PSN store and ive been trying to find a good one. Some ive never tried but looked at have been
Grandia
Xenogears
arc the lad
wild arms
alundra
been doing some research on them but a wiki is no match to someones honest opinion
I really like the idea of grandia and xenogears, i think it would be XG hands down if it werent for the robots. just dont like the idea.
Any input on both games would be great! )

Xenogears is about so much more than robots. They almost play a peripheral role in the storyline. All kinds of Freudian shit, an insanely deep cast of characters, long as hell (took me ~80 hours), and a soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger/Cross). I've only played through it once, but it stands as one of the most memorable games I've ever played. Looking back on it, I almost forgot that robots even really had anything to do with it. It's definitely not in the mecha genre, imho, though I'd understand it being placed in it.
I'd also go for Grandia 2 over the first Grandia. I love me some Grandia 2. Good example of a cast of characters that you fall in love with and are sad to see the game end. Beautiful graphics/music, etc. Also one of my most memorable RPG experiences. Dreamcast ftw, but they also rereleased it on PS2.
The original Wild Arms is a fucking joke. It's such a comically bad game, dude. I wanted to like it badly, and the intro scene is obviously cool. But overall, extremely lackluster, stupid combat, and failed execution all-around.
