Final Fantasies I-XII (but you probably knew that).

I don't think this really needs an explanation.

Seiken Densetsu II (Secret of Mana) and III. (SNES, III only via emulation)

Great music, pretty graphics and sounds, and nice action-RPG gameplay.

Star Ocean: Fantastic Space Oddyssey (only via emulation), Star Ocean: The Second Story (PS1), and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (PS2).

All have relatively action-packed battle systems and replay value.

Tales of Phantasia (GBA), Tales of Symphonia (GBC), and Tales of the Abyss (PS2), and pretty much any other Tales game you can get your hands on.

Same as Star Ocean.

I'm sure I can think of more later.

Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross
Probly the best RPGs without a Final infront of them I can think of.

Chrono Trigger anyone can enjoy, Chrono Cross has a somewhat more involved battle system (not all that complicated but I have heard some people complain), and the plot can be very difficult to follow later in the game (+ for me, - for some)

Dragon quest VIII

Threads of Fate is a pretty Fun action-RPG, but it's a bit short and you can also go with Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits. It has a great battle sytem in my opinion and a good story. It can't touch a FF, but it's still a fun game.
