You rejected Kingdom Hearts AND Devil May Cry AND Xenosaga?! Wow man! You have some strict standards! Okay, I can deal ya somethin' then.
How about Chrono Break? That's a while off, but if Chrono Trigger's awesomeness, and Chrono Cross's 10x awesomeness are any indication, Chrono Break SHOULD be, um, awesome. This is a game that is MAJOR to most by the way.
There's also Legaia 2 (I forget the full name) which is the sequal to Legend of Legaia 1, a Sony made RPG. The first one had a pretty original combat system for the time (it was being made roughly the same time Xenogears was, so it's hard to say who stole the idea from who for a fighting game style RPG combat system). However, the random battles are thickly placed if you don't like that sort of thing. Me, I take them in my stride because my goal isn't just to get from point a to point b, but rather to seek out pretty much any challenge that's tossed to me in a game (wow, that sounded pompous and ignorant of the real reasons some don't agree with my point of view, but oh well dem's the breaks).
There's also Ape Escape 2, or whatever that's full name is. It's the sequal to, well, it's pretty obvious actually. Anyway, the first one was a good game indeed. It had quite an interesting method of collecting the game's "jiggies" (ie, chasing them down and catching them), and time trial mode which I must say was a VERY difficult final challenge. It was actually made to demonstrate to developers how useful two control sticks really could be, since so many developers weren't even using the second stick. Much like many of Rare's N64 games though, there was the flaw that once you beat the final boss, you could never beat it again without starting a new game. Anyway, I'm interested to see the sequal.
However, of the three I listed, Chrono Break should be the biggest of them.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
