Certainly I'm a big fan of these games. In the order I liked and played most, my favorites are:
Final Fantasy 8 (PS1)
Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1)
Tactics Ogre (PS1)
Brigandine (PS1)
All Dark Souls (PC)
Master of Monsters (Sega Genesis)
Final Fantasy 12 (PS2)
Final Fantasy 9 (PS1)
Ogre Battle (PS1)
The Legend of Dragoon (PS1)
Breath of Fire 4 (PS1)
Unfortunately I haven't played FF7 yet (and previous too), started from FF8. I will play FF7 yet, the old one first and then the remake.
I didn't have a NES/SNES, unfortunately I never played some famous titles of these consoles. Maybe one day with an emulator...

Cut my teeth on Dragon Warrior for the NES, but looking back it's just kind of there. One I that do have a big soft spot for is Phantasy Star 2. It had a creative ending IMO and also had a tear jerking mid game death before FFVII made it a thing.
Suikoden was another good one. Haven't played any of the sequels though. Great sprite work, interesting characters, awesome music, and simple but compelling story.
It may be uncool to say, but I also really enjoyed FFVII and FFX. The plots make about much sense as a broken penny, but I still feel like they did a great job of bringing you into the world and feeling for the characters. Unlike a lot of people I loved the FFVII remake too - including some of its plot changes. They way over used Sephiroth and it veered a bit too much into anime trope territory for my taste, but I'm really on board to see where the story is going from here. Probably helps that I never played through Kingdom Hearts, so "getting Nomura'd" isn't a thing for me.

I'm a fan of RPG. I love action RPG, tactical RPG and of course turn based RPGs but I'm picky about the last one. I don't like turn based RPG with 3 or less characters in the team. That's why I don't put Chrono Trigger in my list and never bother to try FF7 nor FF8.
My list:
1. Final Fantasy 6 (I love the personal skill and it even has a dungeon featuring 2 teams cooperation)
2. Grandia
3. Tales of Phantasia
4. Fire Emblem 6, 7 and 8
5. Gothic 1 and 2
6. Breath of Fire 1 & 2
7. Shining Force 1 & 2
8. Golden Sun 1 & 2
9. Devil Survivor 1 & 2
10. Treasure Hunter G
11. Phantasy Star 4
And of course metroidvania RPGs such as Castlevania series from Circle of The Moon to Order of Ecclesia.
There are hacks for Fire Emblem and FF6. I have played and completed some of FE8 hacks recently and have more in my playlist

The first RPG I ever played was Dragon Ball Z Super Saiya Densetsu on the snes wild card floppy disk drive 
and that was before I even knew what an RPG or Dragon ball Z was and it was in French
My all time favourites are
Suikoden II
Breath of fire 4
Final fantasy 8
Sky's of Arcadia

Wow this thread sure died quick.
I recently snagged a PS5 and played through FF7 Remake Intergrade. I still love the Remake in general. It was the first big name commercial game to have me excited for a release since SFIV, and left me wanting more when finished.
It even got me to consider looking at later FF titles, (last one I'd played through was X) until I saw a video showing the Shiva summon transforming into a motorcycle that left ice trails while doing donuts... yeah, never mind on that, lol.

I love rpgs, platform rpgs (like some castlevania) and specially action rpgs and games like the shining force/feda emblem of justice.
Sadly I only discovered the genre with the coming of internet because back in the day they weren’t available to purchase or rent on my country (Chile), even video game magazines never wrote a single article about those games. At much they only answered some reader questions on how to beat certain bosses and I was like “what’s this game about”.
I play some rpgs before snes but on some computer and were text heavy.
What’s kill me it’s the big grind and the big amount of random encounters of some games plus the lack of time to dedicate to play them as they were meant for.
