are you looking to buy something right now? Because, if so, Xenosaga comes out on the 25th. and not only will that game be awesome (although i must say, beware a LONG LONG extremely complex story) you also get a free art book of the game for preordering, and if you order online at gamestop (i believe thats where it is) you get a Xenosaga t-shirt and some other kind of booklet thing.
it depends on wut you are more looking for. Dark Cloud 2 comes out in on the 18th, its pure fun. not so much a complex story or long cutscenes, just tons of good rpg fun.
if you want a good RPG with a massive life changing story, go for Xenosaga.
and if you want a mix of both, a more traditional RPG, then Breath of Fire V is the game you want.
besides those theres .Hack, which is apprently a really good game with an awesome complex story. I've been watching the anime series on TV (.Hack//SIGN which takes place a little before the game .Hack//INFECTION) and its very cool. you also get a 45 minute dvd anime movie of OVA which is another story of .Hack and comes with the game.
i am presonally going for xenosaga right now, then i'm saving my money for Zelda:WW. all in good time i'd like to own all these RPGs.
and even though this is in PS2 forum, if you do have GCN, i would also recommend Skies of Arcadia: Legends, i rented it and its a very good RPG.
Final Fantasy Origins (FF1 and FF2) come out in mid march I believe, those could be worth picking up if you have some spare money. FF11 has been said to be released sometime in late summer or fall, if you're interested in MMORPGs. FFX-2 should be out by late fall, and of course Star Ocean 3 sometime in september. This really is a year for RPGs, keep your eyes open and start saving your money.
