I was interested in Albert Odyssey for a long time too, and finally tried it out in about 2002 and found it to be a shoddy game. It doesn't do anything new with the rpg formula at all and the translation has awful teenage humour and pop culture references crowbarred in. The only good quality is the overworld music, and you're not even allowed to enjoy that because it keeps getting interruped every five seconds (literally) by tedious random encounters.
I know you'll still want to try the game anyway because it's a question mark that's been hovering over you for ages, but should you get a Saturn you're best off making a beeline for those other games you mentioned.

"This year"? What's wrong with now?
I've always wanted to play Anachronox, which is a PC western rpg influenced by J-rpgs. Supposedly has a good story and soundtrack and is one of the handful of games that are actually funny. And it's produced by Walton Simons. What more could you want?
Another game is The Nomad Soul, which is a PC adventure game released in 1999. Said to have a living-breathing city, which is something I love in a game if done right. Something else that sounds intriguing is that when you die you reincarnate into a different character. Oh, and the electronic ambient/rock score is by David Bowie, who also makes a cameo in the game. Again, what more could you want?
Good thread. It's probably made me get off my arse and actually get these games.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
