It's puzzling that no one has mentioned jRPGs yet!
It's funny how the concept of a 'true ' RPG has changed over the years... nowadays when people refer to 'true' RPGs they usually refer to the story-driven ones from say BioWare or Obsidian Entertainment. Back in the 80s/beginning of 90s 'true' RPGs were pure dungeon crawlers like Ultima, Lands of Lore or Gold Box...
