A true hidden gem is a game called Tears to Tiara II. I was skeptical at first because it is part visual novel part SRPG. I was skeptical because I had never had a desire for a visual novel. But this game strikes a great balance between a solid SRPG and a story that legitimately pulled me in and had some great voice acting and characters that really impacted me.

I wouldn't call this next one hidden but Eternal Sonata was one of my favorite experiences on PS3 as far as jrpg goes. Very colorful and fun and I thought a unique way of presenting the story. Alice Madness Returns had a great setting and art style and was enjoyable. I normally dislike post apocalyptic settings but highly enjoyed Enslaved Odyssey to the West. It felt more like a colorful jungle setting than the typical brown and gray post apocalyptic stuff of that era.

Anyone who is a Rune Factory fan should absolutely pick up Rune Factory Tides of Destiny. A rare console appearance for the series at the time and a great game. Oh and during that era on the PS3 board people wouldn't stop talking about Vanquish and Binary Domain being under the radar good third person shooters.

There are a smattering of others I could include probably but this is a good start.
