Board 8 > What was your first RPG?

(+) Yeah! (+)

FF7 for me.

(unless you want to squabble over games you tried but never took seriously, in which case it'd be FF1 or maybe Shining Force)
---

FF8 for me
---

Earthbound

Of course my next X number of RPGs were all Square, where X is however many I played between Earthbound and Xenosaga.

Edit: Oh shit, the second part is not true because I forgot about Quest 64 (for good reason).
---

Paper Mario

Wow just realized my first video game was an RPG
---

Final fantasy 1 on the NES.
---

FFX was what I think of as my first RPG, but I guess I played Pokemon and some Lord of the Rings games before that.
---

I don't actually remember, I played Secret of Mana, Mario RPG and The 7th Saga (lol) all around the same-ish time, but I can't recall the order.

Actually, thinking about it, SoM and the 7th Saga were definitely before Mario RPG, so it was one of those two.

Pokemon Red
---

Secret of Mana.

duh
---

Final Fantasy Legend 2. EarthBound was my second years later, and it was the first one I loved, prompting me to rent all the SNES RPGs I'd missed by that point.
---

FF1 for the NES
---

Shining Force, I bet nobody expected that!
---

Dragon Warrior
---

i think the first game i played that i would consider firmly in the rpg genre was ff7. either that or pokemon red...
---

First one I ever played but didn't take seriously was Final Fantasy; I rented it when I was 6 and had no clue what I was doing.

First one I ever played that I did take seriously and played to the end was Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest.

So obviously Square wins either way here
---

Pokemon Blue
---

Pokemon Blue, I think. That was quite an experience back then.
---

probably The Bard's Tale or Ultima 4. yeah.
---

Best I can remember it was FF6 on the SNES.
---

I technically played a bit of Dragon Warrior before Final Fantasy at a friend's house, but I'd say Final Fantasy for the NES is the first I really played
---

Final Fantasy III (SNES) or Final Fantasy Legends III (Gameboy). Can't remember which was the first one I actually played.
---

Nope, Legend of Legaia. Think that's Eidos or some shit.
---

FF1. The Ultima series might have come first, but FF1 was what got me hooked. I'm not sure I actually played either at the time, though- might've just "helped" my dad play.
---

Probably Pokemon

Shining Force.

Super Mario RPG

Baldur's Gate.

But if you're only talking JRPGs, then it was Final Fantasy VII. Which was pretty much the first JRPG ever to get any kind of attention in Europe (and maybe the fifth JRPG ever even released here)

Pokemon Red

Chrono Trigger maybe? though I was playing it on a friend's SNES that she was borrowing from a friend, so I didn't beat it then. it wasn't until much later that I bought and beat the PS version

first one I beat is Final Fantasy Legend III

It's okay to name WRPGs, MMORPGs, SRPGs, or whatever you think is appropriate if you consider it an RPG. Just asking for your first RPG, not exclusively your first JRPG.
---

Pokemon Yellow
---

Mine was some bag of bollocks on the Spectrum I can't even remember the name of anymore, it had dragons in it.

Super Mario RPG or Pokemon RBY

Pokemon Blue

Guess I'll change mine to Shining Force to avoid confusion.
---

Pokemon R/B. First real console RPG was Final Fantasy X.

Almost positive it was Mystic Quest. I was about 3 or 4 so if I played something before that I don't remember
---

Grandia 2 on dreamcast

but the first one I finished was FFX
---
