What got you into RPGs: I've been playing RPGs for as long as I've been alive (they're really hard to play when you can't read, incidentally) but Pokémon Red and Paper Mario were the games that really piqued my interest, and then Golden Sun cemented it.
What are your favorite RPGs: Golden Sun series, Persona 3 and 4, Final Fantasy series (IV, VI, VII, XIII, Tactics), Pokémon series, Tales of series (Symphonia and of the Abyss), The World Ends With You, Paper Mario, Chrono Trigger, Nier, Parasite Eve, Xenogears, Fire Emblem series
What RPG(s) are you into right now: Persona 3 Portable, Pokémon White Version, Mass Effect 2
What do you like most about RPGs: Interesting and personally relatable characters, excellent soundtracks, ease of play (not having to be dialed in at every moment), exploration

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
I played the SNES Albert Odyssey, it was a lot of fun, but all in Japanese. I really should try out the Saturn one since that got translated.
Also, your list of favorites almost made me cry it was so beautiful - nearly every game on there was either a favorite of mine, or a game that I really really really want to play.
Haha thanks. The SNES game is totally different from the Saturn one. The Saturn game is Albert Odyssey Gaiden (or Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean in the US). That reminds me, I need to play Breath of Fire IV. My brother finished it and recommended it to me many years ago.

RPGs are like a fine woman. An interesting, engaging, deep and beautiful work of art that you can't wait to wrap yourself around. Capable of taking you to world of awe and splendorous pleasure. One has to have a strategic detailed well thought out plan of action to conquer them. You have to devote a lot of time, they need your attention and you can't help but give them all of it. Often prone to shifting emotion and throwing in twist that will leave you laughing or leave you in tears. They capture your mind and your soul. A journey that can change you forever. They consume you and it's the most beautiful experience one can imagine.
What got you into RPGs? Both Final fantasy III (VI) and chrono trigger
What are your favorite RPGs? Golden sun, Mario and luigi: super star saga, Tales of legendia, .Hack//G.U. vol. 1 and Paper mario
What RPG(s) are you into right now? ... None sadly.
What do you like most about RPGs? This is going to be a weird answer, but I love the soundtrack that a lot of RPGs have and sometimes the stories that they include, and I also love the enviroments if they are immersive enough.
What other RPG-related things can you think of? ... also none XD.
Ok to be honest, I have a love-hate situation when it comes to RPGs, sometimes I play and awesome RPG, but also I play a horrible one too, and I really want to play some more too, but seeing how it's hard for me to do so in the situation that I am right now, I guess I'll just have to wait for some time in order to play them, but for now I'll stick with FPSs and platformers.
Do games need to be epic ?... or fun ?... Game reviewer of http://wiiwarewave.forumotion.com Wii #: 0018 2269 1524 9019 (codename Jnes) Also on PSN ! PSN: jnesDX
I've never played the .hack series. What's it like?
Sadly, I haven't played all of them, there's a series on PS2 called simply .Hack which had 4 games and the one I've played, .Hack//G.U., are also another series that are only 3 games, I might be wrong though...
However I can tell you this: in .Hack//G.U. you play as this guy who is playing an MMO (I know, weird !) and is just starting out, then time passes and his character, who is named haseo, becomes very powerfull, but then while on a quest, some sort of virus attacks him and then returns him back to being level 1, and the majority of the game is him investigating who that virus is and finding a way on how to defeat it.
Im not giving a lot of detail on this because I dont want to spoil the the game, but from what I can see, .Hack//G.U. is a sequel to the .Hack series because... oh wait, that's going to be another spoiler too XD

@Mickeymac You should watch the .hack//SIGN anime first imo. It's basically about the world's most advanced MMORPG and a player who gets stuck inside it. It's a really interesting, introspective, dark series that makes for a great introduction to the world of .hack.
Both my cousin and I got a DS Lite; she also got FFCC: Ring of Fates with hers. I played through the game better than she could though, and helped her through the locations and got her to the finish. That's when I knew I loved RPGs; I got my copy of Ring of Fates not long after.
Currently, I'm not into any RPGs. Haven't discovered any good games at the moment as I'm a little focused on my secondary school finals.
My favourite RPGs have to be Final Fantasy series, as well as the Crystal Chronicles, The Legend of Zelda (to those who say these aren't RPGs, an RPG is a role-playing game and you play in the role of Link so... :3), Dragon Quest and many others that are uncountable to mention.
In RPGs, the most attractive things are the amazing storylines, excellent playthroughs and vibrant graphics, as well as a variety of puzzles and challenges.
The Legend of Zelda ~(to those who say these aren't RPGs, an RPG is a role-playing game and you play in the role of Link so... :3)
Except with that logic, every game is an RPG. By genre mechanics, however, Zelda is more of an action-adventure game. So is the Crystal Chronicles series, actually.

You'd like Golden Sun and the Lufia games, then. And probably Tales of Symphonia.
Actually, I've already watched most of .hack//Sign and I believe I have the dvd collection somewhere. That's why I'm interested in the games, actually.
What got you into RPGs?- the Megaman Battle Network series was the first game I played that actually involved massive amounts of strategy, and it opened up my eyes to other RPGs.
What are your favorite RPGs?- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Pokemon White, and Megaman Battle Network 6.
What RPG(s) are you into right now?- Pokemon White
What do you like most about RPGs?- The music and the purely addictive gameplay.
I'm not the world's biggest RPG fan (most of them I play aren't pure RPGs), but they are a highly enjoyable type of game to me.
What got you into RPGs? When I started playing video games, I was too young to understand the difference between a platformer, shooter, or RPG. I simply saw them as games, and I enjoyed them regardless of their genre. Once I figured out why they were different, nothing changed.
What are your favorite RPGs? 1. EarthBound 2. Chrono Trigger 3. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
What RPG(s) are you into right now? I recently started to replay Chrono Trigger. I knew it was awesome the first time I played it, but now I'm starting to see something deeper. It's like I couldn't take it all in the before, and now I'm getting the full effect.
What do you like most about RPGs? I like RPGs that have unique twists in the gameplay, and also ones that have emphasis on customization and freedom.
Pokemon got me into RPGS Pokemon is my Favorite RPG Im into Dragon Quest ATM I like they are fun
Digitaloggery 3DS FC: Otaku1 WiiU: 013017970991 Nintendo of Japan niconico community is full of kawaii! Must finish my backlagg or at least get close this year W...
2. Persona 3 FES, any Dragon Quest game, Final Fantasy IV, Okage (very few people know about it!), Pokemon G/S, Earthbound, Final Fantasy Tactics A2
3. Shin Megami Tensei, Rune Factory 3, Pokemon White, Mount and Blade, and Paper Mario 3 once it comes out
4. RPGs include a lot of things that other genres can't. Compelling moments and storylines, relatable characters, gameplay that requires more strategy and problem solving then reflex, an addictive soundtrack, long length, etc.
5. Hate to sound like I have nostalgia goggles screwed to my head, but RPGs just aren't what they used to be. The 90's and early 2000's were their golden years. With that being said, I still love them and hope to see them prosper as they once did. Also, I rarely consider MMORPGs as true RPGs.
■What got you into RPGs? Can't remember, probably Dragon Quest ■What are your favorite RPGs? Dragon Quest (even the ones I haven't played yet) ■What RPG(s) are you into right now? Dragon Quest
Hmmm.. I think my taste in RPG games leans strongly in the direction of a single series of games. Oh well, are there really any RPG games worth playing other than Dragon Quest?
I'm kidding of course, but I can't seem to get behind most others. I don't think I'm really an RPG fan just a Dragon Quest fan. (Although I do like the Pokemon games)

Talk about irony <_<
JRPGs are not "true" RPGs, either. I could give you the whole history lesson if you're ready to be bored to sleep, but the short of it: JRPGs have evolved to be a completely different genre to pen and paper RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons, which are the real RPGs.
Western RPGs are a closer approximation of "true" RPGs, though technically a video game will never be able to offer the true sandbox experience - which is ultimately what an RPG really is.
1. Pokemon 2. Mother 3, Mother 3, Mother 3 and some other stuff like Chrono Trigger, Pokemon S/G/C and Golden Sun and quite a few game only slightly below that. 3. Other than occasionally trying to beat the secret boss of Radiant Historia, nothing recently. There is a really good RPG Maker game I might play and I beat Mass Effect fairly recently (if 2 is even better it so earns the "best RPG of this gen" praise it gets). 4. How addicting they are. I wanna say story, but to be quite honest, half of the stories in RPGs I've played are either lame or haven't aged well. But anyway, addicting gameplay. SNES RPGs are great at this. Breath of Fire 2 is a great example, as there is no other explanation for why I enjoy the game that much. The grinding, the samey battles, the 3+ hour gaps for interesting plot development...can somehow still work incredibly well to create an experience worth playing. Because they are all very addicting. 5. Um...I dunno. You spoony bard? You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attack?

Save your history lesson. It's just that MMOs are so different from regular RPGs, that I can hardly consider them in the same group as each other. They don't normally contain what I had mentioned, and are generally unrewarding experiences. If you want to go around telling people that "MapleStory is a good RPG with good gameplay, sound, and a gripping story", then that's fine by me. I don't care what people think is a RPG or not, it's just I can't feel much of a connection that a MMORPG has to the roleplaying genre.
