What RPG made you like the genre

Final Fantasy X. I still remember seeing it for the first time. My buddy had just gotten it on the day of release, and we were getting together for DnD and video games that night. Since a few of our DnD characters were split up, he and I weren't playing the first part of the session. So he popped in FFX to kill the time until our turn was up. By the time he got to the intro Blitzball cinematic, the DnD game was completely forgotten and we all ended up just watching him play for like 10 hours straight that night.

I was driving our DM home the next day and just pulled into the parking lot for GameStop without saying a word. We each bought a copy and the DnD campaign was officially put on hiatus for like 2 weeks while everyone just wanted to play more FFX. Been in love with the genre ever since.
