First one I ever saw was probably Skies of Arcadia. First one I really played was FFX.

Oh duh, pokemon also.

Does Star Tropics count?

Otherwise it's FFI.

NES the best.

It was probably either a Wizardry clone or an Ultima clone for the PC. Those games were a dime a dozen back then.

I wish I could remember my first one.

It would've had to be Final Fantasy IV or Pokemon Red/Blue.

However i didn't consider Pokemon as an RPG back then and still kinda don't.
Is this what gamer elitism looks like? What is it if not an RPG? lol

I'm getting the impression here that Final Fantasy VII, while a major gateway into RPGs for normies and an important beloved game regardless, does not necessarily stand out as a singularly important introduction to the genre for enthusiasts, like those still on gamefaqs in 2020. Might explain something about its decline and why it never seems to do that great on publications' top 100 RPG lists.

I mean this is first RPG period not the one that got you interested in the genre. And most of our userbase were teenagers or close to it when FF7 came out

Pokemon Blue

Followed by some random free PC game called 'Warrior Dragon' that was styled off Dragon Warrior. Then Final Fantasy 1, then Paper Mario.

The funny thing with Warrior Dragon is I definitely enjoyed it more than the original Dragon Warrior/Quest. Not to say it was actually good, of course.

Not sure, but it was definitely something older than SMRPG, and on the SNES. I'd guess FF4, but it could have been a Breath of Fire or a Lufia.

I was gonna say FFVII for sure but now I think it might have been Pokemon Red/Blue.

I played FF7 after the Windows release but beforw FF8, so late 1998 I guess. I wanna say I played it over the summer, which would be before I was introduced to Pokemon at the start of the school year.

But then again, I was 10 in September of 1998 and I have a vivid memory of learning what Charmander was in my 5th grade classroom, and you're older than 10 in 5th grade right? So it was probably...1999? I know I was a little behind the curve.

generally you start 5th grade when you're 10. some people born in August-November would be 9, about to turn 10, though some wait an extra year and could have even turned 11 just before the start of the school year.

Baldur's Gate

First JRPG was FF7 though (to be fair, I live in the UK, and I don't think we got any JRPGs other than Phantasy Star before FF7)
