SNES (I suggest emulating). Chrono Trigger (LEAVE WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING AND PLAY THIS) Final Fantasy VI Lufia I & II (Play I first, Lufia II will spoil you otherwise) Breath of Fire II (Better than BoFI, my favorite in the series) Tales of Phantasia Terranigma Seiken Densetsu 2 (AKA Secret of Mana) Seiken Densetsu 3 (AKA Secret of Mana 2)
And that’s just to name a few…
PS1 Chrono Cross (Not as good as Trigger for most, bad game for some. Personally, I loved it) Xenogears (Easily the best plot I’ve ever seen) Final Fantasy Tactics Legend of Mana Breath of Fire III & IV Valkyrie Profile Vagrant Story (I think it’s flaws are bigger than it’s merits, but it’s still very good) Lunar Silver Star Story Complete (Lunar I) Lunar Eternal Blue Complete (Lunar II) Grandia
And so on…

If you go to any serious information site, I personally recommend wikipedia, then you can just list the developer names and get whole lists of what they have made, try (of course) Squaresoft, Atlus, Enix, or any others you can think of.
Edit: SE was also completely right about emulation, unless you happen to be rather connected or wealthy, that is.
There’s a Toys 'R Us by my parents house that has had a copy of that sitting on a shelf for like three years. I bet it is still there. Should I go try to get it?
Personally, I recommend playing Final Fantasy Tactics. You can find it as a greatest hits title, so it will be cheap, and it is an amazing game.
I will treasure my copy that i was lucky enough to find over last summer. It was like, $120, but i was able to just work on a website to earn it. Having older friends that own gaming stores is awesome. I love the analog covers.
