Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics?

I don’t know what game first came up with it, but Super Mario RPG was the first time I saw timed hits for attack and defense in a JRPG. While the mechanic isn’t exactly ubiquitous it has popped up in a handful of other games over the years and it always reminds me of that game.

This was definitely the first time I also remember this appearing, and it made it more engaging for me as a child.
