...Breath of Fire 6 being a mobile feels like such a kick in the shins, don't it?

The first new game in the franchise in over a decade...

And Capcom makes it an iPhone game.

I've got quite the bone to pick with them for MML3 so this neither surprises nor pleases me.

To parrot some others: Tactics Ogre, Vagrant Story, and just about anything created by Yasumi Matsuno gets my recommendation. The man has a knack for creating interesting, charming worlds with realistic politics and poignantly human issues. He also gets away from (most of) the typical jRPG tropes, which is always a good thing. Plus, he features good Shakespearean English in his games. Whoever does his english localization is a god.

Aside from that, Radiant Historia for the DS has the best time travel plot since Chrono Trigger. The Etrian Odyssey series, also on the DS/3DS, is nearly devoid of story, but it makes up for it with mechanical depth and a map drawing mechanic reminiscent of old school RPGs that you needed a pad of paper to properly play.

I'm a huge, really huge, fan of Dragon Quest and constantly pine for a US release of both DQX (ha..like that'll happen) and the 3DS remake of DQVII.

I love Shin Megami Tensei and Persona, as well as Suikoden and Breath of Fire, but one game stands alone as my all-time favorite. Here's a tribute to it from the great Brentalfloss.

Crawling into this thread even though I haven't actually played that many non-SE games *shamefaced*  

I grew up with FF, so it was only 'natural' that I moved on to KH, Seiken Densetsu, TWEWY (it was really fun to play this game and then finally get to visit Tokyo to see Shibuya for yourself), but I think Legend of Mana deserves a special mention. It is still one of the most charming and enigmatic games I have ever played, and I still return to it every now and then. 

I have also played some Suikoden (Tierkreis, got almost all 100+ characters before my game file died forever), Ace Attorney installments, and also D3 and LotRO extensively. (I've not logged into either of the last two since FFXIV: ARR happened in my life...) 

And finally,  the button-mashing fanservicing goodness that is all of the Marvel vs Capcom installments. Cool

One of the characters there, Jet Enduro, is who I named Jet'a Vann after. I love that albino Heart
3 was such a bold game. It seems everything about it set out to differ from other jrpg. The lead is a female with no shallow romance defining her, the loner gets a lot of criticism and ridicule for being standoffish, the big guy is a Mage, and the sniper is a pleasant, happily married middle aged man. And everyone had guns. It was brilliant.

Agreed. I really hope that one day SE gives us a Far West-themed continent to explore. It did not happen with FFXI (Seekers of Adoulin pretty much established the west as a wild continent) so... maybe XIV? I dare hope.

One word...

PERSONA!

*summons his persona*

This one steals the show for me. As an RPG and as a fighting game. I'm a sucker for modern-supernatural themes and this game is no exception. I love the concept. I love the mood and I love the music... OMG THE MUSIC! I played only P3 and P4... planning on playing the previous ones too. I'm also playing my ass out in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Holy crap this game is awesome.

Other RPGs... well...

Elysia is officially my BFF now... I can agree with every word there. I ADORE Legend of Mana. I also love Kingdom Hearts - man this game gives me feels.

I can't believe I forgot about Sierra games (speaking of nostalgia again XD..) But I gotta include these since I've played these series in their entirety at least twice.

Quest for Glory (hnnngh, a classic favorite.  You can see a full no-commentary playthrough of all 5 games here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF5B8EAEE0742C714 )

Monkey Island series.  Sogud.  K I'm done *flies away until she thinks of more gamez*
