A hardly comprehensive list in no particular order.
Persona 3/ Persona 4 - high school sim + mystery + fun combat system + funky music and style. These games are awesome.
Dark Souls/Dark Souls 2 -Â I've probably sunk something like 1000+ hours between these two. There is something magical and lonely and terrifying about playing them.
Tales of the Abyss -Â Most Tales Of games are pretty decent, this one takes the cake.
Tales of Graces f -Â The story isn't very mature, but the battle system, characters, and aesthetic is awesome.
Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together -Â There is no better strategy RPG. The PSP remake of Tactics Ogre unseated Final Fantasy Tactics in my heart forever. This game is awesome.
Dragon Quest IV -Â This started the episodic RPG thing. It's simple, it's fun.
The Last Story -This game is going to be extremely valuable several years from now once everyone figures out how awesome it is and how hard it is to find.
Valkyrie Profile -Â Great battle system, good story, great music.
Star Ocean: The Second Story -A lot of fun, the story tends to drag a bit but that battle system and the lovable characters really shine here.
Suikoden II - Luca Blight, enough said.
Baldur's Gate Trilogy -Â Do I really have to say anything?
Jade Empire -Â Bioware's overlooked gem. This game is vastly underrated.
Dragon Age: Origins -Â I'm not a big fan of DAII or III, but this game is awesome. I played through it five times.
