I wouldn't class Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced as a RPG, it's clearly a TBS...
Top ten Non Final Fantasy RPG's that I've played (not that I've dislike Final Fantasy, I just don't whant a list that looks like "top ten final fantasy games")
10:Lufia ruins of Lore ~ A fun little RPG, but nothing special.
9:Golden Sun ~ The first RPG to show what the GBA could do and my RPG of choice when traveling.
8:Fable ~ Certainly a fun RPG, but no amount of fun could make up for the let down I felt that the finished game was no where like the hype had led me to believe.
7okemon (metal series) ~ You may hate it and say it's childish but no one can deny it's the second best selling franchise and the metal series was certainly it's pinnacle (thus far)
6:Breath of Fire I ~ Who dosn't like being able to turn into a dragon and stay that way almost indefinately?
5: Diablo II ~ An rpg with great multiplayer and a healthy dash of easter eggs.
4: Breath Of Fire II ~ While your now only a dragon for one turn, I felt this game had much better characters than the first BoF.
3: Phantasy Star II ~ For doing a FF VII before FF VII was released.
2: Dragon Quest VIII ~ Any video game series that has a law banning it being sold on a schoolday has to be good.
1: Knights of The Old Republic ~ Plot twists, replay value, the fate of the universe, lightsabres. This game has it all, simple as.
Honourable Mention: If were alowing tactics games (a la FF Tactics Advance) Zone of the Enders: Fist of Mars.
