Dragon Quest.

It takes place in the "middle earth" era of the Dragon Ball universe.

Stay quiet until you've slept in the yesterday,
And say no elegies for the melting stone.

No. The 3rd and Zero expand on the Thirteen Factories but nothing in The Blue Knight explicitly spoils Zero. I think it's more meant to foreshadow Renne and Pater-Mater.

This image however does spoil The 3rd/Zero somewhat

The first spoiler was about SC.

Here, have some more foreshadowing. I also really like how the door explaining the Pillar of Salt incident subtly hints that it was the reason Weissmann defected from the church.

It's probably legitimately Star Ocean.

Well pokemon went off the deep end and started introducing 1000 year old giant humans if that matters to you at all.

It's legitimately the Trails series. Not Xenogears/saga. Not Star Ocean. Not Suikoden. Trails.

Xenosaga has the deepest lore, without question. Even has the most complex set of characters as well. One of the best trilogies out there that nobody has played because "WAAAHHHHH LONG CUTSCENES."

But I'm also a sucker for RPGs in space, which I'm surprised is not done more often.

No one played it because it sucks. It's crap. It's ugly (even for its time), the cutscenes aren't just long, they're unnecessarily long, it's a low budget trilogy that wants to be a high budget series, and the gameplay sucks too

Pleb answer: Legend of Heroes series

Real answer: Rance series
>>
>>338252369
Rance has a cool setting, but it's not deep nor does it match up with Trails in scope. It's mostly random stuff with some cool elements sprinkled here and there.

Chrono Trigger alone

It's pretty much the story of mankind, straight off the Bible

That's a good pick.
I especially love Kichikuou, how much lore they packed in there and how you can kind of predict where the future stories will go based on it.
I'm going to play Toushin Toushi soon because I can't get enough of the world.
