Here's mine.

10. Dragon Quest 8

9. Sweet Home

8. Paper Mario The thousand Year Door

7. Chrono Trigger

6. Super Mario Legend of the Seven stars

5. Dragon Quest 5

4. Mother 3

3. Dragon Quest 4

2. Earthbound

1. Dragon Quest 3

Yeah sorry for the lack of variety but I had to be honest. I do like Final Fantasy but none are top ten worthy for me ofcourse I've yet to play FF 7 or FF 9. Personally I was disappointed with FF 6 which many hail as the greatest RPG ever. New here by the way so sorry if this is posted in the wrong section.

Personally not gonna count majority of FF games and some other Squaresoft titles as turn based because in my eyes active time battle system just is not turn based(and in that case the list would be just Squaresoft games :D)

10. XCOM Enemy Unknown(not quite an RPG though has some elements and is a damn good game)

9. Super Mario RPG

8. Final Fantasy I

7. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

6. Chrono Trigger

5. Child of Light

4. Heroes of Might and Magic 3

3. Final Fantasy X

2. Divinity Original Sin

1. Xeno-FUCKING-gears!!!

@Stebsis:

Final Fantasy 1 really? Not that I think it's bad at all (It was great at the time) but it comes off as a really odd choice especially being your only NES choice.

Don't play a whole lot in this genre.

I like Suikoden, Chrono Trigger and the Disgaea franchise which is more a tactical RPG.

Can't pin point others at this time but Disgaea is my favorite series of turn-base.

Chrono Trigger for story and accessibility.

And glad I gave into Suikoden series, it's really good. The third one is easily my favorite

Well FF9 is one of my favorite RPG but it clearly not turn base.

I would say Wild Arms 3.

Suikoden II

3 battle systems; turn based combat (really good combat system too), turn based strategy for larger scale battles, 1 on 1 duels. Great cast of characters and Game of Throne's style story with conflict between nations, large scale battles, making alliances, betrayals, dialogue options. Recruiting characters to join you, it's like Pokemon but each character has their own backstory and are recruited through different means. Character progression is great throughout the story.

NO, FF9 does not have turns so it can not be turn base.
