Anything from the Shin Megami Tensei series, but you probably already knew that from the many replies already. I'd suggets Nocturne though. It's very dark and you have to make difficult choices throughout the game. Fantastic game.
Is it too late for me to say the Shin Megami Tensei Series? :P
By mature RPGs are we simply talking about the M rating or simply more mature-themed stories or settings... if that really makes much sense? Nocturne was a pretty refreshing change from the usual "save the world" rpgs, and I really like how desolate and sinister the areas looked, even if they were a bit plain and blocky. I need to find more rpgs like Nocturne.
Final Fantasy X - it's like a soap opera. Is Persona 3 really mature content? Isn't it about a bunch of high school kids?wackoss
Final Fantasy X isn't mature rated. It's teen. And although Persona 3 is a JRPG, it deserves that mature rating. I think the main reason for this is the fact that during battle, the way you summon your Persona is that your character puts a gun (not a real gun obviously) to his/her head and pulls the trigger. The shock value on that never really goes away either. So if I had kids, I wouldn't allow them to play it.
I guess I took it wrong - I was thinking of mature story telling not by M-rating. I think FFX's story and characters make it one of the most mature jrpg. Most other jrpgs come off like bad anime.

The evoker was associated with lots of controversies. But still, I think that was a cool concept :)
