Best Plot/Story Rpgs of recent time

I bet we can all agree on Suikoden III > Suikoden IV. Suikoden III was an awesome game to me but Thomas' POV was a pain in the ass and boring at the same time. The game was worth the 80hrs I placed into it. I still think Yuber was waaay too powerful..I recall one army battle where he almost soloed my entire fleet of characters ._..

I really liked Vagrant Story's plot and the whole 'ally/enemy' relationship Ashley had going on with Sidney. It was a nice build up to the stories end and all the plot twists along the way such as

Spoiler:

Guilderstern(?) killing Samantha and of course over powering Sidney to get the Rood Inverse from him.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It is. The game goes into an exciting overdrive after that point. The game guaranteed will run you about 60-70 hours(87 for me).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
