If you haven't done so already, going back to the classics will definitely enrichen your RPG experience. Final Fantasy Tactics is a game with a rich convoluted story, awesome combat system, interesting graphical and menu interface and wonderful music. Its pretty tough to beat in terms of how engrossing it is.
You may have already checked it out as it says you've played every Final Fantasy game, but there are always a few who don't consider FFT to be a true FF game. Regardless, if you haven't checked it out yet, you really don't know what you're missing!
Other than that, I really haven't much to offer you in terms of newer console RPG's. Many of them are nothing short of embarassing.

Dragon Quest is fucking gorgeous O_O I spent 3 hours playing the game basically wandering the world map.

I was thinking the same thing! I remember when I first got the game and was walking around the map with nothing short of euphoria and wonder. Sunshine was streaking down through light fluffy clouds, through falling green leaves near a cliffside sea. I watched the sun go down. It was a very spiritual experience. Its unfortunate that this element of the game was so short-lived.
DragonQuest VIII was DECENT but that is terrifyingly disappointing with all the hype this game received before delivery. Its really just eye and ear candy without so much as a concept to tie it all together. Still, its superficially appealing, just don't expect its story to keep your attention from beginning to end.
I couldn't even bug myself to finish it. I am indifferent to the game itself and I think thats a characteristic I am finding all too familiar with most of the RPG's I come across nowadays. I am getting fed up with current RPG's. No one is really pushing things forward. The style of gameplay is always painfully drab, the stories are linearly intoxicating and the element of innovation just seems to be non-existent. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
