Your first RPG?

EDIT: Zelda games aren't RPGs.

ACTUALLY:
Zelda 2 is an RPG.

And that was the first RPG I played.

True. Sorry.

Pokemon Blue. I put over 400 hours into that game. Still love that series.

 

[Niko Stepz]

Either Shining Force, Castle of the Winds, or Pokemon .... If Pokemon counts.

If Legend of Zelda counts then that but otherwise its Dragon Warrior.

Holy shit, me too! I was probably 6 when I first played Dragon Warrior/Quest.

No, Zelda 2 is an action game with RPG elements.

I don't really remember what was my first RPG... There were too many of them really...
But I guess it would have to come out somewhere in 1995 (I started playing games FOR REAL when I was 4 y old).

I still find Morrowind the best overall experience though. No other RPG I know would have this interesting world + this interesting story + freedom to roam the world and do whatever the heck you want.
Heck! You could even kill the main characters if you wanted! The problem was if you actually DID that (even by accident) you couldn't finish the main story... it was still awesome though .

pokemon blue. squirtle=win

 

[Rykan]

Sword Quest on a 5 inch floppy. That makes me feel old....

 

[Enigmers]

Mine would probably be Final Fantasy 7, some time in second grade. Diablo might have been before that, I'm not sure.

 

[Avelestar]

My first was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Played that sucker over and over till my fingers bled.

 

[Thelonesun]

Diablo.

 

[TehKnifeh]

FF7 for me, though do want to get back into Lost Odysey

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Dragon Warrior IV. I remember a friend in 2nd grade had it and when he brought it over one day I was hooked on RPGs for life. I eventually got my own copy and still own it today.

Did you ever try the DS remake? It's quite good.

Sadly I don't own any of the DS Dragon Warrior remakes but its something I should likely pick up. I've been buying a vast amount of games mostly RPGs lately. A few other titles to add to the list.

The DQ5 remake is even better.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Final Fantasy VIII. Still my favorite Final Fantasy, as well as one of my favorite games, period.

 

[LokiSuaveHP]

Castle of the WInds! Don't Mess!

I thought I would see a ton of people with this reply. For all of you kids out there, I present the pinnacle of gaming technology in 1989!

I'm tempted to say Kingdom Hearts, but if I remember correctly (and if it counts), Spyro: Year of the Dragon might take this category for me. But if not, then it was Kingdom Hearts.

And also note, Kingdom Hearts was also the first one I completed all the way through (and would have gotten to 100% as well, if my brother had not lost my memory card before I managed to beat Sephiroth).

My first rpg was Ys. The first one. This was a version for the Sega Master System. Good times. So it all led to Ys. I spent hours on that game and could never find the last damn book.

Before all that I played DnD. Or, that is, my brother did and I was invited in.

I also spent tons of my time playing computer games back then. Like the DnD comp game, the Zork text adventures. I could never beat them, though.
