Part 4 is the shortest section of the video, and he skips over some of the most influential RPGs. He mentions some of the earlier ones (pre-1990) but then basically says "There's too much to talk about here so I'm going to skip it". I don't think he mentioned a single RPG for SNES other (maybe?) Final Fantasy VI This isn't even fair as a representation of RPG development and consumption in the West. Between ~1987 and 1997 almost all the commercially successful RPGs for consoles (in the West even) were "JRPGs". Overlooking the influence of these on all the later Western RPGs he does cover misses a big chunk of RPG history even as it focuses on the west.
