FF VIII, Breath of Fire 4, Septera Core, and Last Remnant. That's all I can think of on the top of my head.

King's Bounty was the 2008 GOTY in my opinion. It took me one month to finish with all the quests completed. I car hardly wait for the expansion!

I was torn between the world ends with you and king's bounty, but it's certainly the PC GOTY IMO. One of the best RPG's I've played in years, it's just so addictive and fun.

Do you mean King's Bounty which released WAY back in 1990? Or are you talking about King's Bounty: The Legend that released in 2008?

Neverwinter Nights 2 (technically the combat is turned-based

For WWII, try Silent Storm Gold and Hammer & Sickle

I have to warn you that turn-based RPGs on PC are quite different from JRPGs.

Try Fallout 1 or 2 from GoG. A word of warning however, these games are quite different from jrpgs in that enemies don't stand in a line. It is closer to Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem but is very open and focuses more on interaction and choices to tell a story instead of it being fed to you on one line. Some people like this and some don't, I personally love it. If you like these kind of games then try Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (these are real time out of the box but with minor tweaking in the options it can be made turn based).

I don't think there's Final Fantasy 11 for PC and King's Quest is adventure, not RPG.

Interesting, I've never played this one. So it's like X-Com and Jagged Alliance? Looks like I'll have to seek it out then. :)

Is FF11 turned based? And can you play the game fully, or at all offline? I think the OP was asking about old school turned based RPGs (even if they are newer games).

It's also know as Odi-um. You can get it cheap from GOG.

nope its online 100% man however a large chunk of the game can be done solo (if you dont mind alot of lonely playing as the leveling system is slow at best)

As another poster said, NWN 2 is technically turn-based, though it has the illusion of real-time (it's turn-based going on in the background). Ditto for KotOR 1 and 2. If what you're wanting is Final Fantasy-style turn-based combat, then none of these qualify (that said, they're all great games).
