Best Plot/Story Rpgs of recent time

Just how recent are we talking about here?

Anyways, I haven't been into a whole lot of RPGs (I noticed recently that my attention span is shortening; a few years ago, I could sit through a long cut-scene, but now, I find that I'm impatient with just a short, 2-3 minute speech -_-;; ), but here are some of my more cherished RPGs:

Shadow Hearts: The first to the series (although technically Koudelka is before Shadow Hearts), this game introduced me to a more active battle system. I loved the gothic/horror atmosphere, monster designs (god, ESPECIALLY the monster designs <3 ), characters, and the plot, although cliche, was still memorable. Shadow Hearts Covenant was also a great story and game as well.

Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter: This game (and the series as a whole, it seems ) wasn't really popular, but I personally loved it. The storyline was simple but pretty original. The game was relatively short for an RPG, but there was some neate character development and interesting plot twists. The battle system, however, was really neat to me; I loved the P.E.T.S. system, and the AP system was really unique. Plus, BoF is probably one of the only RPG games that don't have a heal spell (only items could heal you character's HP)
