Topic: First RPG experience.......

Mine was Final Fantasy 1 and 2 for GBA. I was 10 when I got it, I played FF1 first for a bit ignoring all the text in, attacking all the enemies I saw, and got lost in the first half in hour in the game. As for FF2 the same thing but got lost in the first 10 minutes in the games. I barely played FF2 again....

Mine was Final Fantasy II (as it was then called) on SNES. Changed my life.

Basically the same, white lil'bro. Though my first RPG experience I enjoyed and beat was Paper Mario: TTYD.

pokemon red. only round-based rpg i ever liked. not a big rpg fan to begin with

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age iirc.

1989 was a good year to be a gamer.

Final Fantasy VI (then known as 3) in the SNES..... I think its a great game as a RPG starter because the mechanics are relatively simple and the difficulty is low compared other JRPGs

The first rpg I ever "experienced" Final Fantasy 7.Thought I barely got through the prologue sequence of the game because I was amazed of the graphics and music of this game...that I kept pausing (I was in my daycare years, lol). Though I think my first REAL rpg experience was either pokemon gold or ...paper mario.

Mine was the first Dragon Warrior. Been hooked ever since.

The first game that I got really hooked on. Granted I'd just gotten into gaming and didn't know what the heck I was doing, it was still an amazing experience.

This I think, it's been so long and sometimes you forget your first love!

My first RPG was Poke'mon Silver Version, but I honestly consider Takes of Symphonia to be the first one that felt like an RPG.

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, then Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

I always thought the Gold Golum was so cool back in the day! I can still remember the battle music playing in my head as I type this. DW was and still is cool even by today's standards.

Erm...Super Mario RPG? It was the first one I played. When I was younger, I thought upping Power and Magic was a stupid idea because HP was the best stat to have! So, all game I only picked the HP bonus when I leveled up. I learned the hard way: I got stuck at the boss fight with Valentina at Nimbus Land, and never progressed further. It wasn't until years later when I played the game again (because our SNES controllers broke and we got new ones) and I made sure I did it the right way.

Final Fantasy Legend on the Gameboy, loved the game at the time and was shocked years later (via the miracle of the internet) to find out most people didn't rate it too highly, would love a VC release on the 3DS

Ultima IV - Master System. Loads too hard for me at the time. (I could barely read). I got the Mandrake and Nightshade but none of the stones. (And all the characters).
I did almost all of the Master System Phantasy Star after that. (Got to the final part of the Ice World). But I spent about two months before I realised how to get the road pass.
Next was Final Fantasy - Mystic Quest (Which I finished).

(I finished Golvelius and the Valley of Doom as well but that is not really a proper RPG).

Way out of left field, but I started with Dark Sun and Champions of Krynn. I never could get past the final battle in Dark Sun; in retrospect it's pretty amazing I made it so far in the first place.

I loved Dark Sun, awesome setting for an rpg, had same problem with the last battle, way too hard even when at max levels, had to use the cheat in the end to see the ending

Pokemon Blue was my first video game.

Though if you want a more traditional RPG experience, the first I remember besides Pokemon would be Final Fantasy I&II on the GBA.

Unlike the people in the previous page, i absolutely loved both games, but II was my favorite by far.
