Still far too many for a full list, but here are a few that I own that I'd really like to get around to playing one of these days:
Crystalis (NES)
Willow (NES)
Secret of Mana (SNES)
Earthbound (SNES)
Final Fantasy II (SNES)
Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
Paper Mario (N64)
Record of Lodoss War (Dreamcast)
Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast) or Skies of Arcadia Legends (Gamecube)
Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox)
I'd also like to play through Chrono Trigger again.

About All i play is RPGs with the very occasional exception.
Ive only ever beaten a handful of RPGs, all other games I have a strong need to beat them, when I play an RPG I can always find something else to do like a hidden boss or max out a characters stats, and so I put of beating them.
Ive beat most of the final fantasies on friends save files, the first 4 Breath of Fires (favorite series and even forced myself through most of 5).
I actually have a hard time going into that last boss even if I am so ridiculously overpowered it will be easy, its hard to end something Ive got over 40 hours into.
Current backlog,
Skyrim - Final part of main quest but I am currently trying to max every skill, all I have left is a few magic skills.
Oblivion - havent even started
Morrowind - Couldnt get into it, wandering around with no aim getting lost got old for me
Tales of Symphonia - Abandoned save file
Star Ocean (Xbox360) - Havent started
Dragon Age - Havent started
Lost Odyssey - Not very far
FF13- got bored after about 15 hours
FF8- havent started
FF9 - Started over about 20 hours in
FF12 - gave it a second chance and just got into it
Skies of Arcadia - about 2 hours in
Disagaea - Way too much time wasted and I get back into it about every 3 months
Grandia Extreme- Havent started
Suikoden 3 - abandoned save file
FF7 Crisis Core - played it just for the back story and hated it
Suikoden 2 - a few hours in
Rogue Galaxy - Cant remember where I left off.
Im missing quite a few im sure, Im running into the problem of finding RPGs I actually like lately. Seems like in the PS1 day I like everything I could get my hands on and almost as much so with PS2 and outside of skyrim I havent found anything on the last generation I really enjoyed.
Wild Arms 3
Rogue Galaxy
Kingdom hearts
Star Ocean The Second Story
Star Ocean Til the End of Time
Final Fantasy IV 20th
Final Fantasy Crisis Core
Final Fantasy X
Phantasy Star
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star III
Phantasy Star IV
Blue Dragon
Vagrant Story
Lunar (PSP)

Life!? ... What console is that on?
Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist Of Arland
Blue Dragon
Breath of Death VII: The Beginning
Breath of Fire
Cthulhu Saves the World
Dragon Age: Origins (and that giant pile of DLC as well)
Final Fantasy XIII
Hyperdimension Neptunia
White Knight Chronicles
White Knight Chronicles II
And a handful of PS1 RPGs that I don't have listed or near me at the current moment. Was having trouble getting them to play, so I moved them to my "need to fix" pile. Think it had Saga Frontier 1 & 2, Chocobo's Dungeon 2 and Wild Arms.
The only RPGs I finished since my first post are Solatorobo and Lunar the Silver Star Harmony.
I have been slowly working on few more:
Pokemon Red Japanese Version
Magical Starsign
Tales of Destiny
Here's an update of games I've vanquished recently:
Dragon Slayer: Legend of Heroes
Devil Survivor 2
Digital Devil Saga
Dynastic Hero
Destiny of the Emperor
Great Greed
Monster World IV
Brain Lord
And here's my current backlog batch of 16-bit goodness:
Breath of Fire
Lagoon
Paladin's Quest
Sailor Moon Another Story (repro)
Skies of Arcadia

So, how's everyone's rpg backlogs coming along?
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
After finally finishing Final Fantasy for NES (all I had left to do was level up for the final boss and beat him so I did and it was really easy), I actually managed to pull a file from Final Fantasy II NES up also from 2 years ago and figure out where I left off, deciding I made too much progress to start over. At least I was able to match up my progress with a walkthrough to refresh my memory.
I actually completed or re-completed most of the RPGs in my backlog already this year. So after that I just need to start new files on the ones I either got tired of or cheated through a long time ago. I currently have save files going in:
Dragon Warrior II - NES
Final Fantasy II - NES
Pokémon Red Version - Game Boy
Dragon Warrior I & II - SNES (on the 2nd game)
Shining Wisdom - Saturn (ok this one is technically an action adventure, not an RPG)
Suikoden - PS1
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance - PS2
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom - PS3
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - PS3 (just need a few more fragments and those paradox endings)
So my RPG backlog of started games is fairly low, but my games to re-play or play for the first time is too long to even take the time to list here.
I've already knocked out 14 of these kinds of games since I started the serious gaming in June so I'm sure I'll probably at least knock out FFXIII-2 soon. I'm kind of playing Final Fantasy in a pincer strategy. Playing the old ones from oldest to newest while playing the 3D ones from newest to oldest. Then we'll see if I ever make it past the three original NES ones before I catch up to them from the other end. I don't know, the final bosses on III for NES are a doozy, let alone getting to them.

Sigh.

So I'm really interested in Lightning Returns. Gameplay looks amazing. This might be the Final Fantasy 10-2 of the Final Fantasy 13 series. So..... yeah. I restarted Final Fantasy 13 and finished it. Now I have to work on Final Fantasy 13-2..
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
Well, it's not too terrible. I'm almost done beating it, going for 100%.So I'm really interested in Lightning Returns. Gameplay looks amazing.

Oh my... 5 years later and I completed exactly ONE game on that list since (Ocarina of Time via the 3DS remake)...And I've added a TON of games since then (including several Tales of games, the Etrian Odyssey series, the Dragon Quest series, the Shin Megami Tensei/Persona series...). I guess I will never be done with my RPG backlog!
On the upside, one series that I've been good in completing is the Ys series. I've beaten Ys 1 (PSP), Oath in Felgana, and Ys Seven. However, I still have to complete Ys II, Ark of Napishtim and Memories of Celceta (which is the most likely to be completed next in the series).

My backlog:
- Final Fantasy XII (still in the wrapper)
- Kingdom Hearts II (tried starting it again several months ago, but haven't played since October)
- Final Fantasy II, III, and V (the ones that weren't originally released in the U.S.; I have PS1 versions but never got to them)
- several Harvest Moon DS games (finally took the hint and stopped buying them; not that they have a set finish...)
- the Final Fantasy IV DS remake (gave this up as an "abandoned save file" like 4 years ago)
This doesn't even count all the retro RPGs I really want to get to, such as the original Dragon Warrior/Quest series, Ultima, Link to the Past, etc.
On the bright side, I did finally manage to play through The World Ends With You this fall. One down.

Of this list, I've knocked off Origins, FF13, Neptunia and sold the White Knight collection. Have added Dragon Age II, Dragon's Dogma, Ni no Kuni & FF13-2.

Except you can't have a PS1 version of Final Fantasy III. It doesn't exist. There's the NES translation rom, DS remake, PSP port of DS remake and Ouya/Android port of the PSP version.

Brain Lord for the SNES (Great game. I managed to get stuck three-quarters of the way through it).
Anyone have a top 5 list of favorite NES or SNES RPGs that they can recommend? (other than the Final Fantasy series).
See how bad my backlog is? Can't even keep track of the games I own...
White Knight Chronicles 2 was better than Ni No Kuni in my opinion. I think all the reviews of Ni No Kuni are overrating it because it's a collaboration with Studio Ghibli, not because it's any good. Outside of combat the game isn't bad, but in combat it's garbage. Don't set your expectations high.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
WOW, you guys have some stamina lol. Right now, I'm finishing Ni No Kuni with my daughter and I'm playing the new Zelda. After the Zelda, it's Ys:Memories of Celceta for me!
I acquired these these in late 2012, they're still in my backlog:
