title pretty much says it all. Mine are zelda and pokemon ;D
I have lots of them
Persona series, Final Fantasy series, Dragon Quest series are among my favorites....
Mother, Pokemon, and the Super Mario RPG series. I don't really like RPGs a whole lot.
Probably my favorite is the original Final Fantasy. I also like Crystalis, Faxanadu, and Battle of Olympus. 16-bit...Phantasy Star IV, Landstalker, and Beyond Oasis. Newer than that...I liked Xenosaga -- gotta get through all three of them at some point.
Super Mario RPG

I'm surprised I never heard of Crystalis as a kid. It was about a year ago perhaps that I got it and I think it's a great game even by today's standards, and one of the better NES games.
Otherwise, there are too many RPGs I like to list, but for NES, I may say Zelda II, SNES definitely goes to Chrono Trigger (and I typically hate that battle style). For PC I may have to say Oblivion, but Daggerfall would have been a contender if it weren't for the horrible bug issues, and for MMORPG, the original EverQuest.
My absolute favourite RPG is Guadia Quest on retro game challenge / Game Centre CX

I hated RPGs up to that point and it single handedly won me over. Franchise wise I like Dragon Quest, Guadia Quest is basically an homage to the early famicom DQs with a few other nods from other RPGS thrown in. It was an absolute joygrind. I especially adore the music.
I now cannot wait for Guadia Quest Saga...

I really hope Namco Bandai localise this as it looks very special but I know the first one sold less than enough to pay for the localisations.. :(
RPG: Earthbound 0 and 1, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario series and I guess a few of the Golden Sun games. Truth be told, I really didn't like Mother 3/Earthbound 2 all that much.
Adventure game wise I really enjoyed Super Metroid, Castlevania SoTN, and LoZ series.
Secret of Mana, Zelda - Link to the Past, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, Phantom Hourglass, Terranigma, Baten Kaitos are at the top of my list.
Zelda, Mother, Pokemon (Well, I used to like it) and Dragon Quest.
Mother and Megami Tensei series. Neither is a terrible grindfest. Dragon Quest can be enjoyable if you have a speed-up button on your emulator. :P Also Final Fantasies I, III, and VI. I love VI so much.
OH
Also Wizardry, even if the difficulty makes me want to die.
And Nethack, if roguelikes count. (http://www.nethack.org/)
Im not much of an rpg fan, but Mine would have to be famicom jump, which i got from manuel. Rad game.
I got that too the other day, I actually kept it on my desk as an ornament cos the cart just looks so good!
Cool! It does have a nifty cart, cool label too!
Hands down my favorite RPG ever is Final Fantasy VI. The music, the graphics, the story the gameplay everything came together just right. I also really really liked Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss.
I've recently been playing some RPGs that I I always wanted to but never got into much: Mother 1 for our beloved Famicom (well, I'm playing the translation, but still) Final Fantasy V Advance thanks to the newly released audio patch that fixes the music back to its original SNES sounds) and Persona 4 for PS2, which is literally like playing an anime. There's no RPG that comes even close to the experience of P4, not even P3.
QuoteHands down my favorite RPG ever is Final Fantasy VI.
