Final Fantasy VI easily. It's a bit of a gate post game, in that all games after it were different. The gameplay itself isn't much different from FFIV, and it doesn't have the wonderous Job System of FFV, but this game combinds the best of everything before it and adds originality: Complex plots/subplots, Music, even philosophy.
And at the end, a laughing clown is destroyed but along with him all the Magic of that world. I don't know if it's just me but all games post-VII have a different feel to them. Not exactly better, but I like the earlier ones better.
