The only two games I've played from that list are Scarlet Legacy and Vindictus. I liked that Vindictus was easy to learn and fighting was a bit more "involved" the most games, but I hated the way quests/dialogs worked -- it was more like a book. Characters weren't alive.

Scarlet Legacy, on the other hand, was also nice but I disliked that it has a built-in bot, a lot of English translation errors and the mini-games aren't separated well so you can spend a long time just looking for one you're eligible for. On the other hand, questing and leveling are both straight-forward and PvP is a blast!

Almost time for Star Wars: TOR (Christmas), Tera Online (Spring) and Guild Wars 2 (Unknown). These are possibly the next gen MMOs that people more or less are looking out for NA, and that are coming out soon.

As for a Japanese next gen you can possibly look at ArchAge and Blade and Soul.
