RPG Help

[MCEazy]

Similar to my rock thread i'm asking all of tpww's RPG gamers to help me out here. Now as you can see from my user title, i've become quite enthralled by Chrono Trigger because of it's unique battle system, story and characters.

Now once I'm done C.T., I want to find an portable RPG that doesn't have the standard and for me boring traditional turn based random occurrence battles that games like most older final fantasy and phantasy star games seem to feature. I love stat building, side quests, overworlds and any other standard RPG features except for cut and dry turn based battles, any RPG's aside from Chrono Trigger like this?
