I really want to play an RPG (preferably jRPG) with a setting outside of the standard fantasy fare. Can anyone recommend some? I've already played all the FF's, Xenogears, Xenosaga 1, Shin Megami Tensei 2, Persona 2&3, Grandia, Front Mission 3, Snatcher (not really an RPG), KotOR 1&2, Fallout 2&3, Lost Odyssey, Deus Ex, Septerra Core, SaGa Frontier, Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star 2, and Star Ocean 2%3.

One of my first Final Fantasy memories is the opening of FFVI with the panorama of the Imperial City; that and FFVII's Midgar really left an impression on me. I think that those two cities were some of the coolest creations in video games, and it was a shame that the player didn't get to explore them more, imo. So I'm hoping someone can maybe point out a game that I've missed that has that kind of setting that you get to explore at some point. But speaking more broadly, have I missed any good higher-tech-than-feudal-setting RPG's?
Albion. Great RPG with a unique (for CRPGs at least) setting though much of it is actually low-tech. Not sure how easy it is to get it running on a modern computer but I'm gonna try some day, never finished it when I played it a few years ago for some reason.

Cross-posting from the SSI Gold Box thread:

Did anyone play a Mac shareware RPG in the '90s named Realmz? It took me forever to remember the name. It played a lot like the SSI AD&D games and was a lot of fun. I was just googling around for it and it sounds like it was never updated to run on Mac OS X :(
Yeah I loved that game. Even got my dad to register it and a couple of scenarios for me. They were supposed to make a science fiction version too, not sure what happened to that. I think I played a demo at some point.
