1) FF VI
2) Chrono Trigger
3) Earthbound
Honorable mention: Secret of Mana
In my mid 30s now, I spent a significant chunk of my pre-teen years playing SNES RPGs. Final Fantasy tops my personal list just because that was my brother and my jam. We put the most time into that game of the four mentioned. I definitely have no qualms with people who put Chrono Trigger on the top of their list, though. I mean, at that point we are really splitting hairs among some of the greatest RPGs ever made.
