Maybe I'm not hardcore enough, but I can only remember finishing one first-person RPG, and that was Shining the Holy Ark. And it was awesome.

The Shining series comprises some of my favorite games of the 16 and 32-bit eras, and I've played and beaten Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force 1, 2, and CD, and Shining the Holy Ark. I own a copy of Shining Force III - the first part of the trilogy, anyway - but I never did get into it, the Saturn being in its twilight at the time, and I know nothing about the later PlayStation games.
