Chrono Trigger.

I do agree with OP though, Grandia series has best battle system ever designed.

Final Fantasy II(IV) on the SNES

Ah good memories.
It got me hooked on JRPGs and Final Fantasy so it holds a special place in my heart.

You should try Shining Force I and II for sega. You'd have to find a Rom for it but it ranks up there with Grandia.
Yes!!!

This is my first-ever turn-based RPG. Some call Escape Velocity an RPG, so that would be my first, but Shining Force is up there as one of them! Really great game.

I got Pokemon Red and a green Game Boy Pocket a long time ago. Not only was it my first RPG, it was also my first game ever.

I may have played one on the SNES, back before it died. But otherwise, Mario 64, on the glorious N64 console. What an incredible peice of machinery. Still works just as well as it did back in the day, unlike my 360.

Mine was Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny for PC. Way way back in 1993, this game kicked ass. Only the truly privileged could play this game however, as you needed a VGA graphics card that could display 256 colours (this actually came as a warning sticker on the box)!

Dude. Man, I loved me some Grandia.

My first RPG in videogame format? Dragon Warrior. Got it free with my paid subscription to Nintendo Power.

Final Fantasy 1. :]

Good old super sprites!
And the sprites live on. Well, lived on. The comic finally came to an end last month...After 1224 wordy ass long sprite comics.

My first RPG was Diablo 2. A great game but there is only one problem with starting with a good RPG, I can't play any RPG that isn't comparable to Diablo 2.

Link's Awakening, on the good ol' b&w gameboy.

Took me some time to figure this one out.

I'm falling into that trap with Grandia myself. I've found better plots, better soundtracks, but never found better gameplay.
