The widely accepted definition of JRPG is any RPG that comes out of Japan and doesn't fall into a more specific category (A/S/T...etc).  The more niche subgenres override the larger ones.  For example, Disgaea is recognized as an sRPG and not a jRPG.  Kingdom Hearts is an aRPG and not a jRPG.

But you're wrong, the widely accepted definition of JRPG are just console RPG that come from Japan, and this includes SRPG, ARPG or Turn-based/traditional RPG. As long as it comes from Japan it's a JRPG.

For you FFTactics is not a JRPG, now that's a new one.

Anyway, my list :

1. FFTactics

2. Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

3. Tales of Symphonia

4. Valkyria Chronicles

5. Final Fantasy VII
