Lots of people didnt like it...but Final Fantasy Crystal Cronicles Crystal Bearers was a really good $20 game. It has flaws, but its still a good game.
Honestly, I haven't played any unless you count Super Paper Mario and even then the RPG elements in that game are really sparse when compared to the previous two games.
In addition to what's already been said, I enjoyed Tales of Symphonia 2 quite a lot. It's good, not great. Don't expect it to be nearly as good as the original.
I have never played a Tales game so should I get it? Also, I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan, mainly the old ones, but I heard mixed things about Crystal Chronicles.

Why not take advantage of that Gamecube backwards compatability and play Tales of Symphonia? The Wii Tales game is a direct sequel to it. And while you're at it, Baten Kaitos is a fantastic choice. :D

This guy deserves a cookie and milk shake.
The only thing is, it's not an RPG. By any means. (Aside from the gear customization and item hunting.) The game is really, at its heart, a fantasy open world game. Don't mistake it for an RPG. If you do, you're likely to be disappointed.
Also, the main story is short, but the Medal system gives you ALOT of content to sort through.
Fragile and Muramasa are very light on the RPG elements, and both fairly meh in general. Make sure you do research to see if they are the kinds of games you would enjoy, be aware of their faults.
I just bought tales and fire emblem today. AutoPilotOn
GC or wii games? I ask b/c: 1. the Wii games are both sequels to the GC games 2. you would enjoy them more/get the most out of them playing the GC games first 3. the GC games are both far superior to the Wii sequels

I had Tales on the GC but for some stupid reason I traded it in many years ago without getting very far into it. I wish I wouldn't of traded it.

I would HIGHLY recommend you play the GC Fire Emblem first 1. it is easier (better intro to series) 2. it is better 3. it will make the second game better/mean more as it is a direct continuation...you will lose a lot of value by not doing so
I think Little King's Story is more a RTS game with RPG elements. It is great but not in the same category as the rest you listed. I understand Fire Emblem is also a Strategy game, turn base, although it actually have a great deal of RPG Now for Rune Factory Frontier I think is a very different RPG style than MH3, Xenoblade or The Last Story. The really large amount of time and effort required to keep your farm up and running is, at least, 50% of the game. Although this conveys its own RPG elements they are far different from the ones required in the games TC mentioned Don't take wrong, Rune Factory is a great game, but in a really different vein than combat-based RPGs I would recommend to TC to wait and support TLS and XC as they may be more alike MH3 in the overal action RPG form Regards

Shallow, dull, repetitive, clunky, combat. The entire second half of the game is made up underground corridors, just linear dark hallways, literally nothing else. The story also nose dives half way through, can't explain why without giving away the entire plot. It's a good game for the first half though.
