Dragon Kingdoms: Birth of a Legend

Actually, I've been playing the first two Dragon Kingdoms games over the past couple weeks, and I'll say that it's best to wait for the remake (Birth of a Legend) to finish, if you want to play the first one.

Neither one is that great, but the second one at least has some semblance of balance and story (such as needing keys and items to progress, and of course needing a certain party member to beat the game).
