7. Xenoblade Chronicles - Wii (New):

Even when up again Zelda: Skyward Sword, this is my GOTY 2011.  This is easily the greatest RPG of recent years, even of the 21th Century; only two RPG are higher than Xenoblade Chronicles on my list and they are two classics.  This game has a superb soundtrack (Mechanical Rhythm and Gaur Plain [day] are my favourites), an epic length (Dragon Quest/Warrior VII is the only RPG I've played with a longer story) and one of the most refreshing battle systems I've experienced.  If you have a Wii, you need to get this game.  If you don't have a Wii, it's honestly worth buying one for.

4. Chrono Trigger DS - DS (4 last year):

For some reason, Europe never got Chrono Trigger on either the SNES or the PSX, so this was the first time it released here.  Having played it in early 2009, I saw what all the fuss was about and how truly ahead of it's time this game was when it first released.  While I felt the DS additions were not up the quality of the rest of the game, this is the only version of the game I have played and therefore it is the DS port which is on my list/

 

2. Final Fantasy VI - SNES (2 last year):

After all these years, I still don't think an RPG has surpassed this game.  I think this has one of the best soundtracks, the best story, some of the best party members, the best villian, etc of any game around.  Everyone who likes RPGs, needs to play this game.

Here's my full list as well: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4314392

What do you think?

I hear great things about FFVI, so I'm working on it now, but I wish I started earlier. The graphics are starting to get old, at least as a GBA remake it would have fit right in. Still rom what I played so far, it's the best Final Fantasy I have played.

Chrono Trigger is my number 2 or 3 as well (it's on par with Mass Effect 2), and well it's the best JRPG ever IMO.

XenoBlade.....HOLY FU**! Can't wait, as soon as Gamestop announces it will be takin retail pre-orders in Canada, I am pre-ordering it.
