Any of the Shin Megami Tensei series, Chrono Trigger, any of the Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest games, Saga 2 and 3 (aka Final Fantasy Legend 2/3) are good but require translation patches.
If you like dungeon crawlers then the Dark Spire is good and despite supposedly being "Atlus hard" is actually easier than the Wizardry series it is based on (for example, you can save at any time outside of combat and there is no autosaving which means you can easily recover from being wiped out by reloading your last save and the spell to instantly exit the dungeon has not cost besides the usual one mp of the appropriate level that all spells have, in wizardry said spell costs all of your items and most of your gold).
