1. Ys Book I and II
2. Ys IV
3. Neutopia II
4. Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes
5. Cosmic Fantasy 2
6. Ys III
7. Neutopia
8. Might & Magic III
9. Dungeon Master: Theron's Quest
10. Exile

I'm too lame to have yet played any Japanese RPGs (other than translated Ys IV), so I'm sticking to Turbo RPGs.  As such, I had to include a few adventure games with RPG elements, else it would've been impossible to come up with ten titles.

This includes every kind of RPG right and not just typical turn-based?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I think anything remotely RPG-ish is fair game. Dungeon Explorer, etc....

Alphabetically,

Anearth Fantasy Stories
Blood Gear
Cosmic Fantasy 2
Dragon Knight II
Dungeon Explorer II
Efera & Jiliora
Madou Monogatari
Tenshi no Uta

There are at least thirty others that I've enjoyed.  The system is remarkably deep in this area.

I cannot rank favorites.  I really like Ys 1,2,3,4 and Legendary Axe 1 and 2 and Dragon's Curse and Gate of Thunder and Lords of Thunder and Galaga 88/90 and many, many more.

Wow, you're pretty liberal with the RPG label.

Yeah I've long said that RPGs aren't just limited to your typical turn based battle games. I consider John Madden Football to be one of the mightiest RPGs of all time since you play the role of an entire football team!

As a side-note: Being french-canadian, I couldn't stop but snicker at the name "Esty"...

"Esty" would be pronounced like "estie" which is a French-Canadian swear word.  "Estie" is a mangled form of "Ostie" (which is the communal wafers given during mass).  Most french-canadian swear-words are religious in nature.
