First few that came to my mind are:

Lloyd Irving of Tales of Symphonia
Christopher Johnson of District 9

There could be others who are more heroic, but I can't think of 'em yet.

Does he have heroic personality traits like selflessness?

I remember someone told me there is a JRPG where the point of the game is to change reality and rescue the world but in the process your character ends up being erased from existence at the end cause you altered the universe and you no longer exist due to a paradox

that's pretty heroic. to sacrifice your existence for the world

Isn't that life is strange? I haven't played it so I could be wrong but I could swear that's how someone explained it to me.

This kinda happens in Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky but they're bought back just after the credits.

After that, Cresselia tries to convince the main characters that they are causing a disruption in the fabric of space and they should "dissapear". It also tells this to Palkia, which tries to kill you.

Not an JRPG, but this is literally the end of BlazBlue Central Fiction

I think Sam stands out because he's not a long-lost King's heir, a dwarven warrior, an elven prince, an ancient wizard, a horse lord, or even the bearer of the one ring. He was just Frodo's gardener.

And that gardener, at one point, had to literally carry Frodo's ass up Mt. Doom. He was always totally loyal and dedicated to Frodo and his cause. Even after all the time he spent with Frodo, he didn't even seem to consider taking the ring for himself and even when it fell to him to briefly carry it, he gave it up like it was no big deal. It was almost like whatever is in a person that the ring corrupts, greed or a lust for power, Sam didn't have in him.

He was just a simple hobbit gardener, but he was brave, resilient, dedicated, and loyal to his friend.

My wife, her brother, and I just recently finished watching the trilogy and sometimes it felt like if they had given the ring to Sam to take to Mt. Doom, the job would have been done in half the time and with a lot less trouble. Like Frodo would have just gotten in Sam's way. But then, would Sam have been so heroic if his friend didn't need his support so much?

Yeah Sam probably could not have done it alone. He needed Frodo there as his motivation. I think if Sam never realized Shelob did not kill Frodo and went on alone, he probably would have gotten ambushed by Gollum and lost. Or just straight up got captured.

All the hobbits had their moments though. In both the films and the books.

Under normal circumstances, he definitely would. But alone, exhausted, and grieving over his best friend? Of course perhaps he could also have channeled that into anger. I don't know.
