Square and Enix have a lot of classic titles just sort of floundering about. FFVII: Crisis Core and Valkyrie Profile have yet to see a digital release, which is terrible. I want to play these on my Vita, especially the latter.
Illusion of Gaia on the SNES was one of my all-time favorite action RPGs, but Enix hasn't seen fit to release it again in any form since. Same with its predecessor, Soul Blazer.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is another favorite. Colorful, beautiful even by today's standards, with plenty of humor and pirate bob-ombs.

Square's Super Mario RPG was pretty rockin' for its time, but I personally feel TTYD surpassed it in every way.
Finally, I'm glad to see the love for Lost Odyssey in the thread, but sometimes I think I'm the only one who actually liked Blue Dragon. It had a ton of charm, Akira Toriyama-designed characters, and a job-change system that reminded me in some ways of Dragon Quest's. It was one of the first RPGs brought to the 360 and I think it's still the best looking one on the system.

Also, nothing can beat the hilarity of its boss battle song, written by Nobuo Uematsu and sung by Ian Gillan from Deep Purple. An unholy partnership if ever there was one.
