For pure detail of characters both on the NPC and player-character sides, you can't go wrong with Final Fantasy Tactics. This game is known for overloading you with important characters, whether they fight on your side or against you - or both - and there are so many with such depth that it is almost impossible to not be confused your first time through the game. Of course, you could just blame that confusion on spotty translation, but at least they've been working on that over time.
Note: obviously, there are lots of spoilers involved when discussing FFT characters, including some entire character profiles. You'll want your spoilers on if you want full detail on any character.
