Ogre Battle 64 + Shadow Hearts 1/2 were all great.

Ogre Battle 64 was the sauce, but it's not so traditional RPG.

Super Mario RPG
FF7 (if you're only going to play one, if not go from 7-9)
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound (!!!!!!!!!!)

If you haven't played Dark Cloud 2, that is a thing you should definitely do.

Also, Xenogears and anything in the Persona series.

GS 1 and 2 best rpg's ever. All of the ff series (except 10-2).

Edit: Fire emblem is good as well but it's turn based strategy in an RPG. If you're into that kind of thing.

Everyone will say things like FF6 and Chrono Trigger.
And probably everyone should play those, but they aren't my favorites. Probably my favorite all around choice would be FF Tactics. Which there is nearly no reason to pirate these days. Its on the PSN store for like $10, hell its even on iOS. So play that and pay some people for it because it is a damn fine game.

Older stuff that isn't getting enough love in this thread:
-Suikoden II (don't really need to know anything about Suikoden I, just jump in here for the better story/gameplay)
-Chrono Cross (a great PS1 RPG, and still has some of the best music in any video game ever, IMO)
-Xenogears
-Vagrant Story (kinda Action RPG-y, but good nonetheless)
-Ogre Battle (any of them, but I particularly liked the PSP remake of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together)
-Shining Force
The Innocent shall suffer... big time.

Suikoden is fucking beast. Dont put it down! (Gremio, parasites, nooo ;( )

FF7
Suikoden
Xenogears
FF tactics
Arc the lad twlight of the spirits (PS2, very odd circular movement system, loved it)
Golden sun .
Any FF games really, if you want to go there.
Pokemon gen 1-2 (fucking awesome first playthroughs tbh. but very slow and i cant resist spamming the super-fast button on the emu and ruining my experience.)

for breath of fire 2, if you play it, make sure you find the retranslation patch because capcom's original translation was terrible.

i'd also put ff mystic quest in there. fun game.

I'm sad that I wasn't the first guy to recommend Golden Sun, its definitely one of my favorite RPGs.

Other titles I'd recommend

Dark Cloud 2 (PS2)
Star Ocean: Til the end of time (PS2)
Wild Arms series (PS1/2)

A lot of the most important games already have been mentioned. I have to add Mother 3 / Earthbound 2. It's mindboggling how underrated this gem of a game is. It's available for the GBA system and there is a English translation done by a dedicated fanbase. I have played over 30 SNES rpgs, but this one tops them all regarding originality.

Additional random list of personal must-plays: Lufia 2, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Mother 3 and FF Tactics.

If you also like Action-RPGs: Secret Of Mana (2 and 3), Terranigma, Illusion of Time, Zelda: A Link to the Past.

If I would have to pick 3 for spending half a year on a lonely island I would pick: Chrono Trigger, Mother 3 and Terranigma.

Personally ive been playing Lufia 2 for the zsnes emulator and im blown away at how well the dungeons are layed out. This game is a must play for old school RPG fans no doubt.

IMO the only must-play RPGs ever made are:

Final Fantasy 1/4/5/6/7
Suikoden 1/2
Persona 2
Chrono Trigger
Disgaea 2 (it's not really an RPG, but far superior to FF Tactics in every way, so I figured I'd mention it here)

Other games are good of course, but I think everyone owes it to themselves to play the games on this list.
