Well, which consoles do you have?

On your DS, if you like RPGs and such, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light just came out and it looks like a good one. Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies is a really good one for the DS. If you haven't played Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, that's also good. There are also Final Fantasy 3, FF4, FFXII: Revenant Wings, FFCC series, and quite a lot of others.

Enough to last you a while at least : D

Aside from listing consoles, maybe another good idea to list games that you already have an enjoyed, so some people don't re-state games you already got and to have a wider understanding of what you like.

Aside from what Guren already mentioned (As the FF series are one of the best-known RPGs that are out there) I could easily recommend Chrono Trigger, which is another RPG that was made by Square, and sorta uses a battle system a slight bit like FF4.

There's LostMagic and Summon Night: Twin Age that I both have been enjoying a bit, but both are more real-time RPGs with heavy usage of the Touch Screen to attack/cast spells.

There's the popular Mario and Luigi series (Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story) that are also really good RPGs, if you have an old DS/DSlite then you can also pick up M&L Superstar Saga as well.

If you're more into strategy-based RPGs (ones where you have to move individual units arounds a square-based map, like FFTA2 that was mentioned before) Then there is also the Luminous Arc series, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and also Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.
---Actually, Devil Survivor has the grid-based movement like the strategy RPGs but it also has a traditional RPG battle system mixed in, and like pokemon you do a bit of capturing of monsters and using those to fight along with yourself.

Also another good Square-Enix RPG is The World Ends with You, although it's battle system is entirely real-time with you controlling 2 characters at once. It's hard for me to explain it, but finding videos of the game on youtube really helps.

Sliding a little bit away from the RPG end and a bit more towards the adventure/platforming end, I can also highly recommend Lunar Knights and the Castlevania series on the DS.

I think I have too many games to make all these recommendations for just one system....

Ever heard of Custom Robo Arena? I'm not sure if you'd like that one, but it might be something to look into. :D

It's a really underrated game as it's awesome, and just when you think you've beaten the game completely, it throws you a bunch of other stuff. ;D

As well as everything previously posted, I'll add in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and TLoZ: Spirit Tracks. Both are great games, and while I found Hourglass better, most people disagree. :D

But yeah, go for the Final Fantasies, then The World Ends With You, and then Zelda. :D

If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend The World Ends With You. In my opinion, it's just the best RPG ever. The battle system is really fun and, although it's hard to master, the difficulty curve of the game is made to suit that. At the start, you just need to have fun slashing and hacking, but as you get more experienced and the game progresses, you need to learn to (at least partially) control your partner too.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

I recommend the Megaman Starforce series, but mainly 2. Because 2 is the longest, it had what the original didn't, and its just so damn good.
Star Force! Loved the first one, and the other two I never got around to playing, but it was really fun, although I finished it within a few days O__o (I wouldn't get through that game without the internet... It's just so damn confusing, and it gives really no hints as to what to do next...)

Here's some RPG games:
Final Fantasy (I like all of them, especially FFTA on GBA)
Dragon Quest
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (not quite sure which category this game belongs)
Mario & Luigi games (Haven't tried Bowser's Inside story but SuperStar Saga is awesome!!!)
The Legend of Zelda
other Pokémon games

There's many more but I haven't tested them yet. Hope you can find a good game!

Please feed my Pokémon and warm my eggs.
Thanks for everyone who have clicked these, you've helped me a lot :)

Anyone has Club Nintendo codes that you don't need? I want those.
If you have one code for me I can trade you my Explorers of Sky code as I can't put it because I have registered already one. (Registered my brother's game and now I can't register mine...) Someone have same thing? PM me.
I know there's nobody who wishes to do this xD
I'm talking about Club Nintendo of Europe.

I recommend FFTA:2 as well. Whenever I get bored of playing Pokemon I just restart FFTA and go through. Another good game on DS is The World Ends With You (TWEWY), it has great animation, music and a unique battle style

As a fellow lover of RPGs, here's what I would suggest, based on a few systems. (FYI: All Kingdom Hearts games are Action-RPGs)
DS: Final Fantasy IV, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest IX, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, World Ends with You, Luminous Arc, Luminous Arc 2, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (SRPG), Disgaea (SRPG), Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
PSP: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (Action-RPG), Dissidia Final Fantasy (Fighter-RPG), Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (Action-RPG), Disgaea (SRPG), Disgaea 2 (SRPG)
PS2: Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: reChain of Memories, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria (Action-RPG), Odin Sphere (Action-RPG), Disgaea (SRPG), Disgaea 2 (SRPG)
PS3/360: Final Fantasy XIII, Dragon Age (Action-RPG), Mass Effect (Shooter-RPG, 360 only), Mass Effect 2 (Shooter-RPG, 360 Only), Disgaea 3 (SRPG, PS3 only), Cross Edge (PS3 only)
Wii: Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Action-RPG)

As for Action/Adventure Games, here's what I can suggest.
DS: MegaMan Zero Collection, MegaMan ZX, MegaMan ZX Advent
PS2: MegaMan X8, MegaMan X Collection,
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Action-Fighter)

Also, while not being RPGs themselves, these games are similar since they require you use your mind.
DS: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Ace Attorney: Justice for All, Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations, Trace Memory (aka Another Code in Europe)
The Ace Attorney titles are also available on WiiWare.

And if you like these, try Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations, or some of the Professor Layton series!

I've got Chrono trigger, Dragon quest (Boring) Something good + hard.
Which Dragon Quest? Personally, I found Hand of The Heavenly Bride... tedious. I beat the main story but it was eh.

Go get all the endings to Chrono Trigger~ n_n

And then get World Ends With You, or Luminous Arc, both of which can be found for ~$25. :D

There are a lot of RPG games flooding stores recently, a big one I can mention at the moment is Fable III if your a fan of those type of RPG's. I believe the game also got very good ratings on reception, so definately one to look into into, if not buy, maybe rent and then buy.
