You already have a Dragon Quest on there, but my suggestion is DQIV. The way the story is broken up into chapters, with a different group of characters introduced in each chapter, gives each character their own time in the spotlight, and also explains why new characters are as powerful as they are when they join you.

How to play it: Get the fan translation of the Super Famicom ROM. Trust me.

Samus is a female variant of Seamus, so maybe her parents were Irish.

Out of curiosity, what kind of TV did you play it on? When it was originally released on PS2 it looked fine on my CRT screen, but because it was made to look good on a blurry old TV, it hasn't aged well visually.
