Huge 2nd of the .hack series.
Also ill throw in
-god of war-
-devil may cry-
They are heavily action based, but still have a large story and character development
Also even tho it is ps1 I advise trying -Legend of Dragoon- it should be on psn, and possibly for psp(nvr checked myself). If not ps2s are backwards compatable, and this is an rpg everyone should go through at least once.
Few favs
Comedy:
Kyou kara ore wa!!, Mx0, Angel Densetsu, Skip Beat, Ai Kora, The Devil King is Bored
Romance:
Hana to Akuma, No bra, Shinigami Trilogy, kindan no koi de ikou, Usagi Drop, Threads of Time, Girl Friends
Most under rated:
Kindan no koi de ikou, kyou kara ore wa!.
m0r l83r... maybe >_>

You should give the Suikoden series a try. It's a must for fans of rpg, and tends to have good plots/characters. However, beware that Suikoden 4 is considered the weakest of the series.
Also, try getting Persona 3 Portable for the PSP. It's definitely one of the best games of the console.

Beware: .dot Hack is ridiculously grindy. I remember playing the first game, going through all of the story just fine, and then finding out I was about 15 levels too low to fight the final battle. The game was designed so you had to go out and just mindlessly kill shit in the final zone for about five to six hours, after beating 99% of the game, in order to finish that last 1%. I don't know if the other entries were like that, or if it was just the first. I quit after getting to that point and watched the final battle on youtube.
Oh. And I highly, highly recommend Tales of the Abyss. It's like two games in one. I can't recall another game, ever, with so much character development. I'd also suggest Tales of Legendia for the PS2 (less so.)

I second SMT, Shadow Hearts, Xenosaga, Valkyrie Profile 1 & 2 (the first one is VP:Lenneth on PSP), and LOH : Trails in the Sky - at the very least for the storylines. The first two of Persona are my definite favorite, but they're a bit old, I guess. Try to check most of PS1's top RPGs - they should be on PSN. Also check out Valkyria Chronicles 2 for PSP.

You know at a point stuff isn't a RPG, but an action game with customization elements.

Shin Megami Tensei:Nocturne

These are a bit dark themed but my favorites on the PS2

Try steambot chronicles! (underrated PS2 games)
The graphic is a bit bad, but the gameplay is good!

If you're open to something new, you could try Monster Hunter or Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics. The first resolves around being a hunter and collector in a fictive fantasy Stone Age, and the latter is a turn-based fantasy RPG.

- Blood Alone by TAKANO Masayuki
- Otoyomegatari by MORI Kaoru
- Gangsta. by Kohske
- Seishun Kouryakuhon by AKIZUKI Sorata

There has not been a single thing on this thread that I would not suggest myself, so let me add one more ps2 series: Dark Cloud. It more similar to Legend of Zelda, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. And if its possible for you, I'd check out the earlier final fantasy games. It's my all time favorite series, but some of the earlier ones are a bit dull and on the psone.
