IV isn't bad but it's not quintessential at all. It marked the beginning of the more cinematic, linear, plot-focused approach some of these games would adopt from that point on, but this genre is so varied you can't really say it's quintessential. It's only quintessential for a small, yet popular subset of JRPGs.

Yeah, pretty much. They recovered with V but the series got worse with each game after that with the exception of maybe IX. They began to cater too much to those that played for the story.
