My vote goes to Final Fantasy VI. 

Final Fantasy VII is a terrific game, but VI is, in my mind, the best turn-based RPG ever made. Every playable character is interesting and sympathetic; the story is suprising, moving, and well-paced; the battle mechanics allow for a good amount of strategy and improvisation; there's a healthy amount of exploration and side-quests; and the graphics and music are stellar. It's pretty close to perfect.
