the JRPG template was created before it, but Final Fantasy VI is *the* ultimate example of one. there hasn't (and won't) be a better example of that genre.

just like Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island are the best 2D platformers of all-time. Super Metroid is a perfect game. even Mario Kart is as balanced as party racing games will ever be.

PS2 refined PS1, but SNES took entire genres to the mountaintop and kept them there for 25 years.
