I know that Dragon Quest was made by Enix, and I was just saying Final Fantasy didn't define the essential characteristic of JRPG, I believe that it was Dragon Quest that did it.
Depends a lot on how you see it. For example, Final Fantasy was the first RPG to feature multiple enemies and a side view in battles--RPGs at the time, including the original Dragon Quest, had only first-person one-on-one battles. Also, Final Fantasy had something more than the usual "go save the princess!" objective--saving the princess was just the first step. Though it's probably correct that Dragon Quest created the genre, Final Fantasy was probably the first game to deliver it in its full glory.

I have to admit though VI is and IX are very good game and imo best in the franchise.
IX is my personal favorite, and then probably come VI and VII. I like them all, though, even weaker titles like FF V.
