Sounds like some Shin Megami Tensei games.
Hmm, aren't those more like mon games?
Noodle Implements FTW!
Not all of them act this way, IIRC. Devil Survivor and the Persona series certainly don't act like mon games and feature oodles of party inter-interaction.
Videogames do not make you a worse person... Than you already are.

Uh, you're going to have to go into detail as to why that's a problem.

In the end, it points completely at the SMT series, Spooky. :P
Stargate SG-1 Let's Watch. Because my ZHP thing failed.
They're much, much deeper than a typical mons game. For instance, how do you recruit enemies? By winning philosophy debates with them.
Seconding the Shin Megami Tensei games. You do recruit demons/personas, but it's not the sole focus of the game like in say, Pokemon. There's still a lot of dialogue between the human characters.
Also, Planescape: Torment. Most of the characters are freaks of some kind, and it's very dialogue heavy.
And in the Persona series persona fusion is more akin to an extended Item Crafting system than it is to mon-hunting.
Sounds like Disgaea
Unstoppable Sex Goddess
Disgaea and Yume Nikki.

Same goes for Strange Journey. Hey, it's the closest thing to a morality-based RPG you can get on the DS, aside from Bio Ware's Sonic Chronicles!
Nthing Disgaea and SMT.
Your army sucks.
Nthing SMT, Strange Journey or Persona would probably be the best fit.
Sorry, I can't hear you from my FLYING METAL BOX!
Everything but the party members part makes me think of Daggerfall.
The Bio Ware games would miss on sprites and non-human player characters, though you do get non-human companions.
After that, you could try designing your own sprites and then running as GM of a tabletop RPG. YMMV on the party member quality

The Final ECW Champion
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon? I never played through one entirely, but the party is of your choosing, interacts among each other, they are inhuman and...well that 6 point list cuts into my small reference pool. Are the Disgea demons inhuman enough?
Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack
Geomancer
Mystery Dungeon is not an RPG.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

Oh yeah, this too.

Devil Survivor hits all the points save #3, as does Strange Journey. If you plan on getting the 3DS, I'd hold of on getting Devil Survivor; an updated re-release of it is slated for this summer on Nintendo's new handheld.
EDIT: Oh right, Planescape: Torment. Duh. *smacks forehead*

Harem anime are like soccer. They go on for hours, nobody scores, and a million fans will insist that you just don't understand.
The Final ECW Champion
Since when? The combat is sort of turned based, you have a party that follows you around, you level up? What is it missing?
Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack
Also Nthing Planescape Torment, you can get it on GOG
pretty cheap.
The Mystery Dungeons are Roguelikes, a subset of RP Gs that a lot of RPG fans don't like much.
That said, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers (particularly Sky) is one of the best games of the generation if you ask me.

Also try Riviera The Promised Land. The main character's an angel.

Hold on: Spooky, what systems do you own?

Yeah, I'm sad about the fact there isn't anything like this that exists =/
