It's essentially a tie between the NES and SNES for me. The NES had more somewhat more games overall that I enjoyed, but the SNES saw substantial improvements to gameplay in certain series that originated on the NES (e.g., Zelda & Metroid) and it was the golden age of the JRPG in my view, with classics like FF4, FF6, and Chrono Trigger.

If I had to pick, I'd probably go with the SNES, but it's a really close call.

I wonder what you'd think about JRPG's from 2017 to today ? In my view series like Persona, Xenoblade, Tales of, Nier and the HD-2D movement from Square has more than revigorated the genre during the previous generation and the current one. I'd say we're currently in a Golden Age even, if not, a Silver age.

Same here. The current RPG age for me easily rivals, if not outright bests, the SNES and PS1. Not only are the games abundant, but they've generally taken advantage of advances in technology, narrative, and game mechanics.
