So, I liked Fable...

I really enjoyed Fable (never really saw all the hype it recieved prior to release, so I wasn't particularly let down by it.) and I'm looking for games like it.

I like the RPG concept, but I'm not huge into turn based play like a Final Fantasy. I much prefer the building of the character thru RPG elemenents, but a more pro-active approach to combat if that makes any sense.

I no longer have the Xbox, but I do have a PSP, GBA, PS2 and Cube. I'm looking for similar games. Any suggestions?

Damn...

Jade Empire or KOTOR would have been your best bet. Possibly morrowind. No Japanese rpg really fits your description. Be handy if you had a PC.

If you're just looking for an action-RPG there are PLENTY of Japanese choices. I'm currently playing Sword of Mana on GBA and I'd highly recommend Ys: Ark of Napishtim to anybody with a PS2. If you're looking for something in the same STYLE of Fable, along with the action-RPG element, I'd recommend picking up another Xbox (or 360 next month) and checking out Chris's suggestions.

If you want something more Hack-n-Slash like Fable, try out the "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" games. Both are action-RPGs with some character building and may interest you. Both "Champions of Norrath" games would be exactly in the same formula as "Baldur's Gate" as well.

Morrowind is an amazing RPG which is available for PC if you're into that. The combat leaves a lot to be desired but the rest of the game will blow you away.

Just started Beyond Good and Evil and it is very similar to what you are describing in terms of style of play.
