jRPG nuts often talk about the Super Nintendo as the golden age of the genre. And like most nerd things, that discussion centers on defining a holy trinity. Of course, because the SNES happened 25 years ago and basically everyone was between “literal child” and “not born” at the time, the trinity is really two firm selections (Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger) with a rotating third cast member depending on the personal biases of the speaker. Myself, I like to slot Super Mario RPG in there.
