try valkyrie profile or valkyrie profile 2.... incredible graphics, based on Norse mythology, hence medieval looking stuff, the battle system isnt a traditional RPG, it's more active. It's made by tri-ace/squaresoft, btw. So far i've been enjoying it. The game itself is pretty linear so far, and it is side scrolling (don't let that deter you though, it doesn't take away from game play imo).
