Obivously the Final Fantasy series, but also Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2 and the Kingdom Hearts series.
SoA is worth the price of a console by itself. Nevermind that with a DC you can get ShenmueOriginally Posted by RiseToFall
I cannot reiterate the value of the Suikoden or Star Ocean games enough. Well except Suikoden IV, that's pretty bad. Anyway get those. Breath of Fire III is a personal fave of mine, I love it to bits. Vagrant Story is great, too.
Oh, and if you don't have Xenogears, you'll be wanting that as well.
It's not strictly RPG, more of an FPS with RPG elements, but if you want an involving, amazing game with a truly brilliant story, get a hold of Deus Ex, either for PC or PS2.
Tales of Symphonia baby, but its on Gamecube just to let you know it is very elite!!!
Why don't you come down to, funkytown?!?!
I second the Xenosaga Trilogy.
I loved the first one, the second is a bit lacking, but the third is pretty good.
I second the Breath of Fire games. Dragon Quarter, however, isn't near as good as the other four games. Might wanna be cautious of buying that game.
Star Ocean series has a great battle system, cool characters, expansive sci-fi settings (with a little bit of fantasy thrown in), the whole shebang.
Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

Star Ocean is a good RPG, in my opinion. But a lot of other people say it's good to so it's not just me.
That game wasn't even released in the U.S., unless he can read Japanese, there's no reason to suggest it.
The translation patch kind of helps with that though. ;D
any ff is good
Destiny of an Emperor. It is, by far, the greatest RPG ever made for the NES. I highly suggest checking it out. Although most people would disagree with me when I label it as such, the majority, if not all, of the people who have played this game, would agree that it is amazing. Ancient China ftw.
Also for the NES, although not as suggested because chances are you will not enjoy it as much, is Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. It is a hardcore dungeon crawler with very minimal graphic capability. The storyline is decent, when there is one. The main feature of the game is the difficulty. There is no power leveling. You can pretty much die at any level. It is fun!
SNES has Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom, which is also suggested and has slightly, emphasis on the word, improved graphics. The difficulty is about the same. Both games also feature a lot of running around and puzzle solving. Again, a dungeon crawler to the very core.
Robo Trek is a mildly difficult but mostly fun game for the SNES. You build robots to fight for you! Any game with customizable robots as party members is automatically fun.
Lufia & The Fortress of Doom and Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals are also highly recommended SNES games. Both games are fairly difficult but not overly so and both feature pretty neat puzzles. I would suggest the latter game, simply because it is a smoother experience gameplay-wise.
Back to NES for a brief minute so I can suggest, although very limitly because the game is fun but can be a bit hard to handle for most people: Innuendo: Way of the Ninja.
I'm suggesting the aforementioned Breath of Fire games, although the first two (both of SNES) are drastically superior to the third and fourth, in my opinion.
Also Suikoden, although good luck finding the first two games (Playstation) for a reasonable price. The third game is decent, fourth game is viewed as the worst in the series, and the fifth game is enjoyable (although I still haven't completed it). Tactics is eh, but I've never really gotten along with most strategy games.
Er.. yay suggestions!
Radiata Stories
Skies of Arcadia: One of my first RPG's, and one of my favorites. If you have a Dreamcast or Gamecube, buy it. Now.
Chrono Cross: It got a 10/10 on GameSpot. That in itself is impressive. Get it as soon as you see it.
Chrono Trigger: Get this game too. If you have a Wii, I think this game is Virtual Console-worthy, as it appears it's not receiving the port-to-GBA treatment that the rest of the NES/SNES Final Fantasies are receiving.
Vagrant Story: The graphics and story are great. Huge weapon custimization.
Monster Rancher Advance 2: I got addicted to this. I guess it could be kiddy but there are tons of monsters (over 2 quadrillion tablet codes)
and its lots of fun.
