It was either Pokemon or Paper Mario, I'm pretty sure.

Weird dark horse is Time Stalkers for the Dreamcast. For some reason I can never remember if I got that or the N64 first.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, when I was 3 or 4. Learned to read playing that game (and Pokemon).

I think my next console RPG was probably Tales of Symphonia or something, since I was an N64 kid and it had basically nothing except Paper Mario which I did not get

Either Final Fantasy III* or Final Fantasy Legends III.

Or I guess technically Zelda 2.

It was actually Final Fantasy 1. But I don't know, until I was like 8 or 9, I didn't read anything in games so I got super lost. It was only a rental anyway so I moved on. I do remember I got to the Pirates but I didn't really understand equipping items so I died there. I must have been like five or six.

Years later a schoolyard Chum told me about a game called Mystic Quest, it was very intriguing and one day he let me borrow it.

I feel like this game gets a bad rap nowadays, and I don't know why. It's a beginner RPG. Nothing more nothing less. It does what it set out to do. It's like calling Elmo's ABC too easy or something.

I digress, but anyways I enjoyed it. It introduced me to RPGs properly. Instead of accidentally running into it like I did. Then one day me and my little brother rented Super Mario RPG thinking it was a regular Mario game and I remember thinking oh wait I have experience with this kind of game now and we made the most of it. It was good times

. As with everyone I also got into the Pokemon craze. But I eventually discovered emulation. I played Chrono Trigger and the rest is history. I discovered others games like Tales of Phantasia, the other final fantasies Etc. I know Pokemon is an RPG but most people don't consider it that for some reason. I sorta don't in my head either. Not counting Pokemon, the first RPG ever bought was Final Fantasy 7. So it's kind of crazy, I eventually covered all of the options in the poll, even the one not in the poll, as all part of my beginner process of getting into RPGs

Oh yeah, at some point post Super Mario RPG discovery, my little brother got Final Fantasy Legends 3 for Game Boy. Final Fantasy really became a household name throughout the years. I remember being shocked when I discovered that NES game that I played all those years ago was a Final Fantasy

I think it was either Chrono Trigger or Phantasy Star IV. I rented both around the same time.

The first RPG I owned/beat was Final Fantasy Legend 3.

Pokmon LeafGreen. I was eight years old at the time, and I dropped the game after getting stuck in Mount Moon. Just a year later, Pokmon Diamond and Pearl served as my gateway games for video gaming as a whole.

FF1 should have been an option.

The first RPG I ever owned was FF1 at age 9. But when I was like 7 I tried out FFMQ at a friend's house, just mashing the buttons in battle, so I guess that was the first RPG I ever tried. The first RPG I ever beat was SMRPG.

On topic though. I am certain my first RPG in the sense of gaining levels and changing equipment and party members was probably Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

That's a really good question.

I think ff7 did have to be my first long/epic rpg. I had already played a ton of games, but still remember being blown away by the scope and scale

Pokemon Blue was definitely my very first RPG and must have sunk over 200 hrs trying to catch them all and raise them to Lv. 100, However i didn't consider Pokemon as an RPG back then and still kinda don't. What I considered as my 1st true RPG experience was playingThe Legend of Dragoon on the PS1 which I will never forget. I must have played the demo over 100 times before picking up the actual game and once I did it was an amazing experience that I consider it one of my favorite games of all time.
