From Falcom, there's the Zwei games and Gurumin. There's also the Ys V PS2 remake that's Japan exclusive if you want to include that.

There's also a bunch of DS and GBA exclusive stuff that could probably be added like Lock's Quest, Fossil Fighters, Tomato Adventure, Shining Soul, etc. I can take a more detailed look through everything I've backlogged on the site under the relevant 00s consoles since I've tried to add everything from the 2000s into that, though just from a quick look I don't think you're missing anything too big except for Mario & Luigi series (Superstar Saga, Partners in Time, etc) and Everquest II

Bit of an obscure one but both the Magical games, that is Magical Vacation and Magical Starsign, came out in the 2000s !!

They're very very whimsical and filled with spirit buuuut they're also very early rpgs so its gets really grating. And I can't find any cheats for the game cause it was never translated into English ): I just want to see the story...
