Final Fantasy Tactics (War of the Lions or the original)
Ogre Tactics (Let Us Cling Together or the original)
Jeanne D'Arc
Ragnarok Tactics
The entire Disgaea series
Valkyria Chronicles 2 (on top of the original)
Rainbow Moon
La Pucelle
Phantom Brave
Front Mission Series
I've also been a huge fan of Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64. It's a bit different than the other games already listed though.

I haven't tried a lot on that list, but I have an un healthy obsession with the Ogre Battle series. The original is actually quite challenging at times, with a crap ton of secrets and I think 16 different endings? Lots of special characters to find along the way as well. If you like tactic based games then you should definitely be checking that whole series out (Ogre Battle, Ogre Battle 64 and the two Tactics Ogres). You can find them all on the Wii Virtual Console I believe, among other great classic RPG's.
If you are into the old school games, I would also recommend Shining Force 1, 2, 3 and CD. Great turn based strat game with your basic class set up. They aren't overly challenging, but they are a great play with a cool story line.
Also you should be keeping an eye on Unsung Story. It was funded through kickstarter and features
Yasumi Matsuno who was the master mind behind FF:Tactics (heralded as the greatest tactics game of all time), also was a big part of Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre, which TO would be regarded as the much more challenging but slightly less popular than FFT greatest tactics game of all time.
