Which game was the one to introduce you into the world of rpgs?

The first rpg that I ever played was Final Fantasy I. I didn't beat it until later, when I was a little older though.

The first rpg that I ever beat was FFIV, as FFII on the SNES.

The rpg that really made me fall in love with rpgs and gaming in general though, was FFVI.

The first RPG that I can <I>remember</I> playing was FFIV/FFII. I was a simple child then, so I decided to give it a try. And I was pleased that I did.

I'm not sure but it was either:

The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of TIme

or

Final Fantasy Tactics

It depends on wether or not you consider Zelda to be an rpg.

I'm a late bloomer when it comes to rpg's, I've been playing videogames since before I knew how to speak, but I only played realtime strategy, flight sims, FPS's, racing, etc. I basically avoided rpg's because I didn't understand them, or didn't bother to understand them, Final Fntasy tactics was the furthest I went in an rpg, and Zelda wasn't turn-based, so I played the whole way through.

I was introduced to final fantasy VERY slowy. Final Fantasy Tactics was the first one I played, I got my hands on a demo of xenogears, and I used to watch somebody play FFIX (don't remember who)

When I was officially introduced to squaresoft and knew very well that this was final fantasy... it was 10, I rented it, loved it and was compelled to try the older games made by squaresoft, I went backwards and played FF1, FF6, FF4, FF5, FF9, and FF7, with chrono trigger, chrono cross, and xenogears all thrown in there, I know it happened over a years worth of time but I'm a huge square fan now.

EDIT: whoa, didn't mean to type my videogame's, life story, guess it all just kinda rolled off my tongue.

Mine was Secret of Mana. Ahh, how I love that game. I was introduced to it in the forth grade and fell in love with gereral RPGs. The second I played was Final Fantasy VII. I can't remember what the next ones were, but Chrono Trigger was in their somewhere ^_^

It was Dragon Quest 3, I loved it cause it got a lot of stuff to do a part from main story and even after finishing the game, the story and its battle system are pretty simple though.

What took me into the rpg world was definitely FF7, after finishing this game I started playing RPG games mainly.

Mine was a really old text-based role-playing game on an apple computer based in the Sherlock Holmes world. You played as Watson, trying to make your way through the story with absolutely no help whatsoever.

But you could ask Holmes for help occasionally, and he'd tell you what to do, with snappy british-humor retorts.

And if you did something to kill anyone, there was always a funny little line about how it was a bad idea.

And if you killed Holmes himself, the cop that arrested you would say something like "There has been many a time I've wanted to do that myself, but I've still got to arrest you."

Hilarious.

First RPG I played was Secret of Mana, even though I didn't really think of it as an RPG back then. Other than that, the first one for me was Super Mario RPG. :D

Oh that's right, Super Mario RPG is the first one I played knowing well that it was an rpg, because the game was so easy and simple I easily learned about exp points, leveling up, turn-based, etc.

That game sounds pretty awesome.

I wish that there was a way I could play it. =/

Mine was I think FF1 on the NES. I played that when I was 4.

Dang... That's about as old school as you can get. Mine was a similar game I played on a really old Tandy computer called Bedlam. The point of it was to escape from a mental hospital.

My very first RPG was Final Fantasy VII.

breath of fire, I thought it was a great game, until I played ff6, that really got me hooked on rpgs..

The first RPG I played was Super Mario RPG for the super Nes. I really liked Mario games and this one was no exception. Unfortuneatly I was so wrapped up in this game I never picked up the older FF's.:(

My first real RPG (with levelling, experience, equipment and stuff) was Final Fantasy VII.

I was brought up on text and graphic adventures though - from humble beginnings like Zork through to LucasArts' legendary SCUMM games. Monkey Island 1 & 2 rock my world.

Yeah, storyline's always been the most important thing for me.

BUT YOU LIKED STAR FOX ADVENTURES AND NOT OCARINA OF TIME. =\

My first RPG was Shining Force 2 on the Megadrive. I remember renting it for a week and getting stuck at this one bit. Then I found it in a shop for sale and snapped it up with little thought. I got to that same bit and was still stuck until I realised where the item that I needed was. Then I pwned it.

:) I loved Shining Force 2.

Exactly. Because Star Fox Adventures had cool characters and situations (Fox McCloud is the best character Rare has ever produced), while Ocarina was 'OMG LET'S RESCUE ZELDA AGAIN!!!11'.

You see my point.

Star Fox 64 > all other Star Fox games.

You see my point.

...

There is no point there to see. You are just crazy. That's all. =\

Fox McCloud isn't even a Rare character. =\

Also: crazy.

I played some old text/adventure games, but those weren't RPGs, so... I don't actually remember what my first RPG was.

I got Final Fantasy around the time it came out, but I remember knowing what type of game it was and I got it because I already had an interest in them . Back then I called them "Walk around and talk to people in towns" games.

hmm... I know I played it before FF, and since it's one of the best games ever and sorta RPG-ish, I'll say: THE GUARDIAN LEGEND!!!

If I could remember the name of that old Text RPG, Mandi, I'd tell you what it was and such.

But as it is, I don't remember.

All I can remember is that it was on one of those old 5 1/4" floppies and ran on one of those old Apple II computers (one of those deals where it was monitor, keyboard and floppy drive all in one piece. No hard drive whatsoever) at the daycare I was at many moons ago. I was the weird kid reading the computer game on the Apple instead of playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES for the thousandth time like the other kids.

And rezo, were any of those games set in London, with ol' Sherlock Holmes?

My first RPG was secrets of mana, and my second was FF3 (I never played 1 and 2)

Secret of Mana but.... my brother sold that game!
What was he thinking?

i had Ys on the master system when i was about 9 y/o.

Secret of Mana

Ah, we used to play it together, and it was so much fun, especially during hard battles; chaos, I tell you, it was pure chaos.
"HEAL ME!" - "I need a walnut!" - "YOU HEALED THE WRONG PERSON!!!" - "Noooo!", the like, you know...

We played SOM for years, and quite excessively, due to lack of a game to replace it.... I guess we ended up familiar with every corner of the world.

Chrono Trigger is what got me into rpgs, but FFVI was the first rpg I played.

My friend had both games and I wanted to play Chrono Trigger, but he sayed I wasn't ready and that when I beat FFII (it was called II at the time) he'd let me borrow CT. I thuroughly enjoyed both games.

yeah i know this is lame but spare me i was young. first real rpg was ff7, completly and utterly devoted, worshiped, enthralled, and consumed with it for almost two years. i was first exposed to a demo of 8 at my cousins house, he had the demo and showed me a dual shock controller, weirded me out. wasnt later that i realized what the hell i had witnessed when he summoned leviathan. with in a year i had passed everyone i knew in terms of playing time and number of games. i stuck to square rpgs for a long time, untill i found a whole bunch of pc games, ie nwn, icewind dale.

Final Fantasy 7 was my first rpg game I ever played and also one of the best rpg games I've ever played

I like played TLoZ for the NES as my first RPG. Its COOL!

My first was Final Fantasy VII then i went back and played FFII-VI and then played stuf like chrono trigger

Final Fantasy 3 was first, 5 was second, 6 was third, 7 was fourth, and 8 was fifth. I also played 10 and X-2 later on (now).

Mine was either an old board game called Hero (or Hero's, not sure) Quest, which apparently is based on a D&D style of play, or Dragon Warrior I on the NES. I'm not sure which came out first, though. Whichever was in stores first is the one that I played first. As far as console games go, obviously it is Dragon Warrior I, as I said, and it couldn't really be any other game because it was the first RPG for a consol, ever. As it stands Dragon Warrior IV is still my favorite RPG to this day.

That game was fantastic *sheds a tear over his lost copy and other memrobilia from the long lost times*

As for my first rpg, I'm gonna have to say the very first Wizardry on Nes. Second would be Bards Tale followed by Swords and Serpents

Good old Secret of Mana
*remembers back to the good old days of his youth*
I think i was in year 2 at school, and it was just released
My brother went and bought it and the snes in one of those special edition packs

He brought it home, and i was hooked
Me and him used to play that for ages
he was the hero and i was the sprite,
he was 6� years older than me but we still had a connection when playing that game.

truly awesome
anyone who disliked that game is complete fag and I hate you

So you're a homophobe?

yes sword of mana was a bit of a let down but myeh

and no I'm not a homophobe, i just hate them.
Not scared of them, they just shit me.

My first one is Final Fantasy VII. But the first game I played was Gran Turismo I. It was around the time the playstation one got out. So it was very popular, and I tryed Gran turismo at my cousin house. But the first game I played more than one minute is FF7.

The Story of Thor, for the MegaDrive, if you could even call it an RPG.

my first rpg that i played was probably FF9 and chrono chross i didnt like those games that much but when i played FF7 and FFX i was sold

yep thats right my first RPG was Pocket Monsters!:laugh: but my first Final fantasy was VIII, lol everyone loved pikachu except me

my first one was lunar2:eternal blue.

My first RPG was FFVII, which is probably why its my favourite final fantasy.
I got it the year it came out,(i was 8) im now 16, and i still have the same game from 7 and a half years ago >_<!!!!

My first was Breath of Fire 3 ... I didn't know it was an RPG at the time (I think I was like 9), let alone know what an RPG was. I got stuck so I abandoned it. When I was 12 I played Suikoden 2 and it rocked my socks! I searched for some stuff on it on the web and learnt that these types of games are called "RPGs". And then I started an obsession =D

Though i wish like Tifa Rinoa i had FF7 as my first im happy with my first being Chrono Trigger. Such a classic!!! It still holds a special place in my heart.

FF VI was the first one and I plan on it being my last.

FF VI was the first one and I plan on it being my last.
You plan on never playing an RPG again?

no, if I know I'm going to die, I'm going to die playing FF VI

My first one was Dragon Warrior II for NES.

it was defenitely Final Fantasy VII

That was the first rpg i actually finished.

That was the first rpg i actually finished.
It was my first aswell..

The 1st RPG i ever played was either Breath Of Fire 3 or Suikoden 2, both for the ps1, they were class games. I would buy them again if i seen them in the shops but i expect they'll be dead hard to find now. Anyone played them?

mine was ff7 :)

FF8 (when i was 8) and this parts real shameful........ i still en't completed it but still don't laugh atr me i'm startin again so this time i should.... no..... i will do better!

Zelda yeah for nes

My very first RPG was Final Fantasy VII.
man, what about the old school rpgs?? Chrono Trigger? Dragon Quest I/II?? Where were you for the years when those gems came out?? Anyways, my first RPG is Final Fantasy III(jp), actually, it was the first game I've ever played.

The first RPG I've ever played (for more than five minutes) is FF7. I'm actually in the process of playing it now. And FF8, too. I'm also working on Legend of the Dragoon. Heh, three RPG's at once... it gets a bit confusing at times. But, yeah, I just love all the games so far, and have added a few RPG's (for GCN and GBA) to my X-mas wishlist.

Well, if The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time counts as an RPG, then that was my first one, heh.

http://clubsquaresoft.com/mysidia/nes/crystalis/crystalis.gif

I skipped around on the NES between Mario and Zelda, until a friend of mine sold their NES to help pay for a SNES and gave me Crystalis because he said it was a lot like Zelda. So I played it, and I still love the goddamn game. I also got FFI which I played, but didn't beat until AFTER SoM or Chrono Trigger...mostly because I sucked and kept it in a box for YEARS while I played with my new SNES.

Mine was FFVI. I remember I was just looking for a game to play on the SNES and I popped it in and loaded one of my brothers files. Turns out I was on the world of Ruin with Celes on the world map. I didn't know that then but I do now. I got into one battle I think and started getting my ass beat so I turned it off. It wasn't utill I watched my brother play through it a couple times that I finally played it from the beginning and that is what got me hooked.

Secret of Mana on SNES

My first RPG was FF-VII. Everything else I had played before wound't I consider as RPGs. ;)

First rpg... (Goes back in time and hits a closed door) i cant remember.. but i remember beatin FF6 a while ago.. and the latest was FFX2..

FFVIII it thought it was soo cool i went and bought 7, borrowed 9 and 10 and then bought X-2 completed them all cept for X still goin st it....

Mine would be ff7. Not for any other reasons than it was a nice looking game. I got it around the same itme i got the origonal Doom. Anyone here played any of the D&D games?

Legend of Dragoon was my first. *chuckles* It certainly wasn't my last, though.

that is easy it was an text rpg based on lord of the rings.

my first rpg was legend of zelda 1 for n64, for my second game was legend of dragoon.

the first RPG i played was Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, but the game that got me hooked on RPG's was FF7 :)

I've played Suikoden 2, my sister has a copy :)

Zelda yeah for nes

I chose that, but I am not sure if TLoZ is classed as an RPG.

I think it is an action/adventure with RPG elements.

Zelda was probably the first one i played on N64 but like someone said it was FF that got me hooked...

My first RPG, was the table top RPGs. Get a group of friends together, make up characters stats and such on a piece of paper. Use a guidebook to help set the rules and such, and let imagination take sanity bye-bye.

But computer wise...

Dark Queen of Krynn, on the PC. After that, I hunted down the prequels (Champions of Krynn and Death knights of Krynn.) as well as any other D&D computer RPG.

The first rpg...hhmm....probably....Dragon Warrior Monsters...

Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy VIII

zelda: link's awakening was the first rpg i remember completing but i had played ff i on the NES

Final Fantasy VII. I rented it from the video store one day, shortly after I bought a PSX. I didn't even know it was an RPG at the time, or what an RPG even was, lol.

I'm amazed at the number or Secret of Mana responses. =/


Dragon Warrior for me. =o

My first one was Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, that was all I did all day for months.

My first was NetHack. I even beat that game at least twice, with a Samurai and a Wizard... damn, a game doesn't get much more classic than that. Well, if you don't count Tetris, but this was about RPGs anyway.

It was FFVIII. I love this game so much, I'm so glad it was my first =D

mine was final fantasy 7? lol i cant remember but i think that was it....yeah pretty sure.

It was FFVIII. I love this game so much, I'm so glad it was my first =D


yeah like he sed lol. wooo!

Hmmm...my first RPG...ah, my friend let me borrow a copy of Final Fantasy VIII one day, and I have been addicted to the genre ever since.

hmm.. my first RPG?? dunno for sure, i think it was FFV or super mario RPG

I think it was FF7 (along with thousands others).

Final Fantasy IX

I cant really remember for Nintendo or Sega but Kingdom Hearts was my first PS2 RPG.

well.. first rpg i remember playing (sorry to say) was 1 of them GBA pokemon games saddd...

but the game i give credit to for bringing me into the world of rpgs is FFVIII

then there is the other type of rpgs to consider (i am talking about mmorpgs of course)... that credit goes to Diablo II ... but i dont play mmorpgs anymore

<------Dragon Warrior, i got it free with a subscription to Nintendo Power.

the first RPG i played was FFVII, my friend lent the first disk to me, and i got stuck on the first boss. I was determined to beat it, and after feeling the success of that first boss battle, i was hooked.

Mine was FFVI, and when FFVII I was really addicted and now I'm completely consumed/obssessed by final fantasy RPGs.

When I was really young I use to watch my brother play Dragon quest the original all the time. It was awomse, that game made me the RPG fanatic I am now.

First rpg i ever played was link to the past i think....
first one that got me really interested in them would be the elder scrolls series

FFVIII wow alot of peoples first rpg's were FF's

Bahamut Lagoon and Illusion of Gaia (the latter being an amazing Enix game)

i think it was this game for sega called Ring Master.......but since i cant remember i would say Final Fantasy 7 ( i think i was seven?)

ff mystic quest

Breath of fire IV for PS.

Dragon QuestIII or FFIII
which ever came out first

my first rpg was Chrono Cross.

My first RPG was Zelda: A Link to the Past, shortly followed by Secret of Mana, and both of them were great. The first Turn-based RPGs I played were FF Mystic Quest and Suikoden. I thought FFMQ was rubbish while Suikoden had a pretty good story but was boring to play.

my first rpg game was legend of zelda for gameboy back in the day. now i'm currently playing something that i'm borrowing from a friend.

Mine was Final Fantasy 8, it both introduced the RPG genre to me, but also the Final Fantasy series!
This was back in 1999 and it is by far my ultimate fav game!

NOOBS!!!!!!!

Haha J/k.

well...first RPG ever...i'd say 7th Saga...SNES was the first game machine i ever had...and 7th saga was actualy one of the first games i had ever played...@[email protected] might be why i'm so hooked on RPG games.

ff8 i didnt even no wat a rpg was till i played it thank u square ^_~

my first rpg was Secret of Mana on SNES

i loved it

A little game called Battletech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception for the PC. Played it in what must have been 1991, and by then it was already 4 years old. It was a sort of adventure/strategy RPG and the first video game dealing with the battletech universe, which eventually spawned the Mech Warrior games.

Had no idea what an RPG was at the time, and didn't play any others for 7 years when I first played a game that I actually new was an RPG: FF7.

If you consider Zelda a Link to the Past an rpg, I'd say that was my first but I mean if you consider oral... ahhh I mean the first real rpg I played was Super Mario RPG (...decently sure that was an rpg). I then went on Squaresoft binge with FF7, Parasite Eve, and Brave Fencer Musashi all within a pretty narrow time frame (there were others but if it didn't last long its hard to remember their names...). That was back when the the gaming intelligence agency was up: www.thegia.com . That was totally my favorite site back in the day. I think I was really open to games at that time (like 12-14) and the games were like a thousand times more affecting because of my age. Those games convinced me to get into programming which is something thats become more than just a hobby.

my first rpg was Secret of Mana on SNES

i loved it

i got so freakin far in that game but i never finished it because i got stuck and didnt kno where to go when you to get to the desert place

Hey, were the same age.

Never even heard of that game, who made it? Was it the same people who made Mech Warrior?

FFIII, but now called FFVI.

I remember buying Final Fantasy X at GameStop (or Software Ect., as it was called back in the day) for the cheap price of twenty-five dollars (because it was used and old). My friend had mentioned this game to me at school earlier, telling me how cool and exciting it was. So, I took his advice and bought it. This was my first ever RPG; since that day, I've loved RPG's.

My first RPG was FF VIII.

Mine was Pokemon Blue

Lunar "Silver Star Story", this is the first rpg game that i've finished back on the Sega Genesis CD sytem, and this is the game that introduce me to RPG.

I think the first rpg I ever had was Grandia1 for the playstation and I remember that me me months to complete it was a great game though.

Pokemon Blue, but the first good RPG I played was FFVIII, then I played FFVII and got hooked on FF, hence why I've got a copy of every game (On PS2 and PC)

Mine was Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the GameBoy. However I think that is more an adventure game. My first Square RPG though was Final Fantasy 7. I got it when I managed to convince my parents that buying a PS was a good thing. I bought FF7 with my PS.

Well if you consider the first zelda for nintendo and rpg than that was mine. But what really got me into the rpg games was FFVII which is still my all time favorite game like many others im sure. I have played all of the FFs and many other rpgs. I just cant turn my back on them.

Hmmm. Final Fantasy VII. That was the first one ive ever played! That's where i fell in luv with Aeris!

Secret of mana (seikendesetu series) took me ages as i could only hire it from the local video store. it was chance and luck if ur save file was still there the next time u hired it!!!!!

LOL im a thread killer!

My first RPG was FFII for the SNES as a matter of fact I still own the original game

My first RPG was FFII for the SNES as a matter of fact I still own the original game

Final fantasy VIII

FFVII i didnt finish it though

Final Fantasy VIII

FF7

My first RPG was Phantasy Star II For the sega genisis. O' it was wonderful, I recently got a gameboy advance version of it that includes, I, II, and III. It is awesome. They are all great games and are were huge steps in the RPG gameing world. I think Phantasy Star I was the first ever RPG were you could SAVE your game, oooooo, aahhhh! That was playable on the Atari. Hee hee old school ay?

Happy posting!
~Zook01~


Mine was either an old board game called Hero (or Hero's, not sure) Quest, which apparently is based on a D&D style of play, or Dragon Warrior I on the NES. I'm not sure which came out first, though.

HAHA!
I remember Hero Quest!
I got that game for my 6th birthday!
O joy!

Phantasy Star was first for the SMS in 88', 2 years after both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest debuted.

Ultima IV on the Sega Master system.

Ok I just realised my first RPG was Shining force 3 for te sega saturn

FF7 was the first RPG that I played.

FF7 was also my first RPG.

Legacy of the Wizard

Buck rogers 'countdown to doomsday' for the Megadrive/Genesis.

and interesting note: When i heard FF7 was coming out I thought it was a sequal to Phantasy star before realising the names were different. I'd never heard of Final fantasy before 7 being British and all.

My first rpg was the grand,the unique,the master of all rpg's,FFVII!

My first rpg was the overrated,the ripoff of its predecessor,the bastard child of decent rpg's,FFVII!

Fix'd.

In this case the edited version truly is superior.

the game that started it all for me was the ff7 game for ps1. then i could not get enough of the ff series. my love then grew for ff and other rpg's such as legend of dragoon.

Sadly enough my i didn't play an rpg until ffix and the first one i owned was ffx. Now in only 2 years ive become a total rpg freak who plays any rpg, even the crappy ones, and especially the oldschool ones like SM RPG and ff 1-6.

FF1 was my first RPG. I was like, nine, when I got it, and I was so hooked on it. My folks had to take my NES away from me b/c I wouldn't do my homework or ANYTHING else but play FF. And THEN I got my hands on FFVI for SNES. I went from gamer to full-on hardcore RPG'er in about .9 seconds. I still get goosebumps in the opening scene of FFVI-the music is just uber.

Well my first was Breath of Fire II for the Super Nintendo..God i loved that game, it's what amde me a hardcore RPGer lol, and i adore rpgs, they are to much fun, and just as with CyanCyde, i also get goosebumps when i hear the music, it was really cool

And Ryu from BoFII also kinda fascinated me, as well as the battle system at that time :) I was about 8 years old and got so hooked up with it, i played it the whole day :)

My 2nd RPG, and today my favorite, is FFVII, it has always been and will stay the best for me in all eternity ^_^ it's my fav rpg, with BoFII being second definetly

if u call zelda: link 2 the past an rpg, then thats was my first. i played ff7 and 8, but never really understood them until i was older. my first rpg i beat was legend of legaia, followed by dark cloud 2, then ffx.

FF legends II went straight into that when i was 6 didnt beat it till last year :p

and Secret Of Mana for the Snes was the first rpg i beat.

Wish i could say Chrono Cross i still havent finished it >.<

Either Pokemon (WHICH I STILL PLAY BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME) or Quest 64 were my first RPGs. I can't remember. It was probably Quest.

Some namco game on atari lynx:a knight,slave and a bishop

wat indroduced me to rpgs was ff9 and it was the first rpg that i completed

First Played: FF7
First Beat: FF7

FF7 introduced and hooked me on RPGs. Although FF8 takes second as a beautifly made game.

The first RPG I ever played was Final Fantasy X2, and I beat it a week later, lol. :D

my first rpg was either vandal hearts 2 or legend of mana. it was a long time ago so i kinda forgot which was it.

Diablo.
About the time I started gaming.

Mine, that I can remember, would have to FFVII. I was watching my brother and made a bet with him that I could beat it. Which was back in 97-98... Still haven't beaten it. =P

Well i thought it was duke Nukem LOL. Not FFI but oh well

i think mine would be pokemon or super mario rpg...can't remember

ff7....it was too easy

FFVII for me or maybe pokemon not sure

Pokemon: RED I was so obessed with that, I don't mind the poke'mon games actually, but the new ones seem to be sucky-ish.

i couldn't remember well. i believe it was either diablo1 or breath of fire 3

I started with FFVII, but my true love is SNES RPGs.

Mine was final fantasy 9 for the PS1

My first was Gunbound if that's concidered an RPG, if it isn't, it's prolly Diablo or FFVII. The first one I beat was the one I'm making right now, Holy War (See the thread named "Two new RPG's" for details).

Mine was Gauntlet for the Nintendo 64. Then came the Legend of Zelda. Yeah, I got both Zelda games for Nintendo 64! :coolegg:

The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. Me, my father and my sister still have our save files on the original cartridge....probably gonna delete itself in a few years time.

My 1st was FFVIII

my first waz ratchet and clank 1 but i first finished kingdom heartz! dat is da sexxx!!!!!!!!!!! luv lyra x

shenanigans... PLEASE be shenanigans! No one can really be this retarded!

shenanigans?

anyway, my first rpg was either FFIX for ps1 or one of the old pokemon games on the really old gameboy

My first was The Legend of the Dragoon for PS1.

FF8 was the one that introduced me to the FF series and RPG genre and it is my ulimate favourite game.
I played it in the summer of 1999.

It was Legend of the Dragoon and FF8 at the same time. Can't really say which I got first, but they both introduced me to the RPG world.

I take back what I said earlier...My first were FF7, Legend of Dragoon, Pokemon Blue Version, Diablo I, and Chrono Trigger all at the same time...unbelieveable, eh?...Yea, I know...But its true...If you don't believe me, that's your problem, not mine...Okay??!?!???...THATS RIGHT!!!...Seriously though, I was playing all those games at the same time when I first started gaming...*yawn*...my fingers hurt now, so I'm gonna stop typing.......anytime now....blah blah blah...yadda yadda yap yap nag nag blah blah...ok bye...

Wonder Boy III: the dragon's trap (perhaps considered more of a platformer by some), for the SEGA Master System waaaay back in '91. oh, the memories... =)

First RPG of any type - AD&D 1st edition.
First CRPG - Probably "Telengard", or "Bard's Tale" for my Commodore 64.
First console RPG - One of the DragonQuest games for NES.

I think it may have been Final Fantasy (lol), but I can't remember that far back unfortunately.

i would say my frist actual RPG type game was either
Wonder Boy on megadrive
Zelda link to the past
or Final Fantasy VI (which got me into RPG's)


But my first game was Super Mario Bros

Grandia.

I thought it was most the most awesome thing ever. I cried like an idiot when a certain party member left. Having said that, I was 11 at the time, so I suppose I should cut myself some slack. :P

My first was actually Wonderboy but i played it on an emulator (MAME).
The games that got me into RPGs were ff ix&vi

My first was Ys: The Vanished Omen for the Master System in 1988. I was only two at the time, and that was one of my first games ever. It is an RPG, so I wasn't old enough to understand it. Chrono Trigger was the one that got me into RPG's.

FFVIII brought me into the rpg-ff world only

My first RPG ever was FFIV. I played it together with my cousin. We took turns on who would 'control', plus we discussed where to go next and all. Real good times. We were 9 y/o or so. And we hardly knew proper english (let alone bad translated...).

Little Ninja Brothers for NES was definitely my first. (And one of my favorites still) The first one I REALLY got hooked on was Mario RPG. I'm sure there were some others in between, but at that age all games were called 'nintendo'. There wasn't any 'platformer', 'puzzle', 'beat-em-up', or 'RPG', at least not for the kids, so that makes it more difficult to recall.

My first RPG's...

NES - Final Fantasy
SNES - Secret of Mana
PSX - Breath of Fire 3
PS2 - Final Fantasy X

Final Fantasy III(FFVI) for the SNES for me. Started back in '97 or '98 iirc. My cousin kept bitching about how good it was, so I went over to his house one day and he started a new game. I was hooked. He wouldn't lend the console and the game to me tho (I was a Sega Genesis fanboy then), so I ended up playing it on emulation. Of course, back then, most emulators were rather primitive and we had no transparency or windowing, or color addition/subtraction, which made the game looked bad, but still I played it, because it's storyline was good. Eventually, emulators were as good as the real thing, and by then I was still playing it. In fact, I still have the ROM in my computer's hard disk now - the very same ROM I downloaded in '97-'98 and then backed up into ZIP disk, restored, transferred into CD-R, and restored a few times again.

Only in Febuary this year did I finally buy Final Fantasy VI Advance and thus own a completely legit copy of the game. And I'm still playing it, despite having beaten Kefka a few times (and starting over a dozen unfinished games) on the emulated SNES version.

sadly mine was ff10 whaty im only 14

Wonder Boy III: the dragon's trap (perhaps considered more of a platformer by some), for the SEGA Master System waaaay back in '91. oh, the memories... =)

That was one of my favourite games as a kid (I was actually looking at pictures of it today).

My first RPG was the first zelda game.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time or maby final fantasy VI...
Anyhow I fell deeply in love!

Super Mario RPG quickly followed by Chrono Trigger

as far as I can remember it was KH...

My first RPG would have to be Final Fantasy I, however, I don't think that counts. I was three years old and stole the controller from the Aunt (she was the one playing the game) and randomly pressed buttons, I was told that I killed a monster.

My first RPG that I can remember playing would be Chrono Trigger.

FF7 was my first RPG.

Pokemon Red and Breath of Fire

The first rpg i can remember really getting into and playing was Phantasy Star on my cousins sega master system. Then after that i had gotten my nes and got ahold of a few rpg games like Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, and Crystalis.

Final Fantasy 8 here.

my first was FF7 and loved them ever since

Which game was the one to introduce you into the world of rpgs?

Mine was Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars. I still have it too lol.

I can't remember what the game was called. It was some game for the NES. I really wish I remember what it was called so I could download it and play it again. It was quite fun.

It was either FFVII or Breath of Fire 3, I can't remeber which

Mine was Final Fantasy IX... one of the best rpg out there.

Pokemon Yellow =) GB yo~!

Final Fantasy 7

Then Chrono Trigger

Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest) back in the NES era.

My second was Final Fantasy. Followed some years later with Final Fantasy IV (released as "II" back then in the US).

Then I never stopped playing "RPGs".


If you consider Maniac Mansion as an RPG, then it was my first. I played it during the 80s on my parent's Commodore 128! O_o

Good memories.

ff1 on n.e.s.

hmmm.......Pokemon Stuff or KIngdom Hearts

Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen for SNES was my first RPG, that I can recall anyway. I used to rent a bunch of SNES games way back when and I don't remember all the games I played, but that was the first RPG that I can recall.

Now I have both the SNES and PSX versions (and Tactics Ogre come to think of it), but the SNES version is far superior. ^^;

Mine was Final Fantasy VII i think, however i feel that there may have been one before it.

I've never known what an actual RPG is because any game that acts like an RPG (i.e. Mega Man Legends) actually isn't an RPG. So, I'm going to say that the first RPG I actually played was Tales Of Symphonia followed by Evolution Worlds.

I think mine was Final Fantasy VIII, or Pokemon red not sure

Pokemon Red, Yo!

Mystaria, on this good old Sega Saturn...

personnal note: i hope this time i won't get flamed for answering a thread...

final fantasy adventure first rpg i played and how i started playing ff games

The first RPG I played was the one where I was born into this world and such. What a pain the ass. I still haven't finished it.

My first RPG was... Final Fantasy for NES.

I just realized I'm dead old! HAHAHAHA!

Pokemon Blue. I find it ironic that I have never played a single Final Fantasy game ever, and I'm here. >_>

Pokemon Yellow was my first RPG, but the one that made me fall in love with it was Star Ocean 3.

My first RPG was Super Mario RPG. Or it was A Link to the Past, if you consider that game an RPG.

kingdom hearts

my 1st RPG was actually FFVIII and it was japanese. Damn i couldnt understand a word until i bought english version.It was the easiet 2 beat in all FF series!!!

My first RPG was FFVIII too, but the PC Version. I borrowed it from a friend
and was amazed that I borrowed it a thousand times, until I finished it.
Now, that I played all FF's I must say its one of the easiest, but great.

Warlords..Or how was it called... It was so damn long ago...

my first rpg was shining force: revival of the dark dragon for the genesis. little did i know at the time, but watching that small army attempt to save the world would spur me to the glory of rpg's.

I think it was called Zorg or Zen. Text based RPG on the Apple II, it was on old school 5 1/4" floppy!

What really got me into RPG's though was Phantasy Star for the Sega Master System.



"sebarus casberus bass"

Final Fantasy II/IV

First turn based RPG - Final Fantasy Mystic Quest(It was meant for the beginner after all)
Action RPG - Final Fantasy Adventure.

Huh, I thought I'd already posted here. Oh well. FFIX was my first.

I just checked the dates to make sure I wasn't insane. The correct answer is Dragon Warrior. It isn't the first one I finished, but it is the first one I played.

First finished was probably FFI and, like Ndi, VI made me fall in deeply in love with the genre.

First RPG? Uhm.... Dragon Warrior I, I think. I might've already posted, but who gives a shite.

The first RPG I ever played was Diablo 1 (moved on to Diablo 2).

Yeah I wanna try my paw at D2 again, but its messed up.

Oh...well...my first one was Grandia I think...
I LOVED it *___*

Grandia was alright... It was kinda babyish at times, but I liked it. The soundtrack was excellent. I wish I never sold that game.

Final Fantasy VIII was the first game that introduced me on RPG world!
U know what, I don't know what to do after the opening FMV, I quit Balamb garden and have no clue what should I do, I'm running around like a lost person on the world map, don't know how to set up the junction, go to Fire Cavern by curiousity and get killed by Ifrit...>_<

Finally after I learned and beated FFVIII, my friend bring FFVII, and I played and beated it, but FFVII doesn't give me strong impression and enjoyment of the storytelling like I did on FFVIII, so I guess FFVIII > FFVII, despite many people love FFVII more than FFVIII!! And FFVIII still a gem in my heart of all RPG games that exist nowadays and in future, because without FFVIII, I might don't know about any RPG at all in my life...

@k4z3ryu:

EXACTLY the same with me, too with FFVIII! :-)
