Blue Dragon (heard it was bad), eternal sonata (kinda turn based)
My favorite rpgs for the 360 are oblivion, mass effect and fallout 3. They aren't turn based, but they're definately awesome. Fallout 3 is action/FPS but it has kinda of a turn based element to the fighting (hard to explain, its slow mo and you pick what you want your character to do)
Best turn based RPGS IMO are any of the Fire Emblems for GBA or DS.
Blue Dragon(Fun JRPG, reminds me a bit of Dragon Quest)
The Last Remnant(highly criticized, but I enjoyed it)

I am playing Blue Dragon right now, I'm somewhat enjoying it. However, it is purely a JRPG, so if you aren't into all the cliches of JRPGs don't get it.
I also played through The Last Remnant, I enjoyed the game, but be warned, for me, it was extremely frustrating. LR does put an interesting twist on the standard JRPG, well, much more than Blue Dragon does.
Eternal Sonata is turn-based, just not in the classical sense. The actual battling is action-oriented, but the system itself is still turn-based. It's a fun game for sure and can be had for pretty cheap nowadays. Just don't expect an amazing storyline.
The Last Remnant is HORRIBLE! It's nothing spectacular. There aren't that many turn-based RPG', but I can highly recommend Mass Effect, Fallout 3, and Fable II, and Tales of Vesperia.
Only ones I've played are Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey. I can't really recommend either of them. Eternal Sonata is just a bad game and Lost Odyssey, while I can tell it's a great game, I just can't get into it. It's too hard.
Great turn based RPG that's backwards compatible is Gladius if you can still find a copy. Its actually a strategy RPG, but man, I poured over 120 hours into that game back in the day. Worth a try if you want a fun RPG.
Lost Odyssey seems like a good choice. Never really had a chance to try it out yet (still anticipating too as old as that game is...) but it seems as a fun Turn-Based RPG similar to the Final Fantasy series. However, I do own Blue Dragon and it is a fun JRPG. Depends on your taste but you def. should give Blue Dragon a shot.
Turn based RPGs I've played are Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata though Eternal Sonata is not turn-based in the classical sense. You take turns attacking, but once your turn comes you unleash hell in real-time. I do think Eternal Sonata is one of the best games on the Xbox 360 and if you are into turn-based RPGs I highly recommend it.
I don't know if Tales of Vesperia is real-time or turn-based but I have ordered it (I can't find it at any stores) but that one looks really good too.
