Fun fact: the era when you started playing video games is indisputably the best one ever.
Earlier games are kinda nice, sure, but you can't see the reason for all that hype.
Later games are horrible because evil soulless moneymaking developers which eat babies for breakfast only think about graphics and don't care about the story (because it's kinda sinful to think that the two things aren't exclusive and that better graphics could actually improve immersion into the story).
I started playing in the PS1 era (Final Fantasy 7 was my first RPG, so it's the best one ever and must be the best one ever for everybody). So, when I played Chrono Trigger I thought it was really nice, but I couldn't see the reason for all that hype.

@Cozzer,
While I have seen this attitude a lot, I'm one of those people who defies that trend. I started playing video games back in the 8 bit era, and while I still like a lot of those old games, my favourite console is actually the PS2. The PS2 was a heyday for single player RPGs; you couldn't walk into a game store without seeing rows and rows of RPGs, and I loved playing them all. It was also the console to feature my favourite set of RPGs ever, Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2.
With the new generation of consoles, the RPGs I like have really fallen out of favour, and I am so uninterested in open world games like Skyrim that I haven't even bothered buying a next generation console. But if the RPGs I love do come back, I'll be right there to pick up the latest virtual reality super android interface system! :)
