Looks like https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FishOutOfWater has surprisingly few examples under Video games.
Unless they're all hidden under specific subcategories because the people who edit are autistic retards who don't care about how useful the website is for actually browsing.
It's tedious, but you could go through these and check video games under each of them to maybe find some rpgs like it.

Thanks for the list, but I started eating spoilers so I'll just have to sit and wait here to see if anyone offers some titles

I figured that would be the case too but honestly there aren't that many. I don't just mean the world being new and exciting for the player, I want it to be completely alien to the protagonist as well

It's a babbygaem but Ni No Kuni fits that pretty well. You could say the protagonist gets SPIRITED AWAY to an utterly foreign land. Get it?
But also:
>Planescape: Torment
>Dread Delusion
>Chrono Trigger
>Xenogears

FFTA was great though. It's an objective fact.

>stranger in a strange land
Turgor/Tension/The Void
Albion (DOS)
Alundra
Mother 3 (Porky is "the strange man", you play as his "victim", having to experience his influence on the world)
The first Utawarerumono fits as well.

I tried it recently but I didn't finish it. The combat is too simple to really offer much fun. You walk to the side/back of the nearest enemy and use your attack or use a ranged skill from where you stand. Team composition, unit positioning, attack types etc. felt like they made little difference so it was all automatic without much thought.
It was also extremely slow. I played on an emulator so I could fast forward during enemy and ref movement but if I had played it on a GBA I would have gone crazy. I've played plenty of GBA games and none other have been this slow so it's not the hardware's fault.

E33 does this trope really well overall
