Looking for a good action/adventure game for PSX, please help.

I've been getting rather bored with a lot of the newer, next-gen games with all their snazzy graphics and empty gameplay. I have always been a fan of RPGs and adventure games, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good action/adventure game for the PSX. I'm looking for one for the PSX as I missed out on a lot of game from the PSX era, and the few games I have played have stuck with me to this day.
What I am looking for is a game that would be classified as an action or adventure game, but that also has RPG elements in it as well (i.e. weapon upgrades, skill points, stat points, etc). I guess what I am looking for is a LotR type game, but as far as I know they are only for PS2 and XBOX.
Oh, also any good RPGs that are NOT Final Fantasy games, as I have played all of them

Thank you in advance

every megaman X or crash bandicoot.
Castlevania as well

 

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is astonishingly good, as for RPG's have a look at Suikoden 1 and 2, Star Ocean 2, any of the Persona games, Pandemonium 1 and 2 was pretty fun and Vagrant Story I haven't played yet but I've heard great things about.

 

let's see..
for PSX
I like
Adventure:
Rayman (1)
Crash Bandicoot

RPG:
Breath of fire series
Suikoden series

Mixed:
Legend of Dragoon (Recommended)
Digimon World series (I prefer the first Digimon game)
Valkirye Profile

 

PEPSI-MAN. (I'm being serious.)

Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 and 3
Spyro the Dragon 1, 2 and 3

Legend of Dragoon

 

Try azure dreams

 

No Xenogears? inb4xenogears

Also get Legend of Mana.

 

Tomba!!!

A must play Brave Fencer Musashi. Find and play so much fun!!!

 

Tales of Destiny 2, Thousand Arms and Thread of Fate.

 

I have actually played Musashi, and the one for PS2. I loved them both.

 

Megaman Lgends 1 & 2

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A must!

 

try legend of legaia, it has a unique turn based battle system...... i'm sure you'll like it

 

Cool you Have Gr8 Taste.

 

Haha. No one mentioned Alundra yet. I haven't tried the Alundra yet, but I did try it's sequel. I enjoyed the sequel. Currently replaying it again. But most people don't like it as it is a step back from the original Alundra. If I enjoyed it and people said it's bad, then I guess I'll dig the original. They're in no way related, so you can start off with any Alundra game first.

In other words, Alundra is THE Zelda for the PSX.

 

yeah,
I played the first Alundra
and now that you tell it...
You are totally right
XD
I'll never think of that similarity

OK, I'll add
Alundra and Tomba
XD
they're very fun

 

chrono cross

 

I just wanted to say "Thanks" to all those that have made recommendations and suggestions. A few of these games I have played already, but there are a bunch that I haven't. I plan to give them all a chance.
