Legend of Legaia sparked my fascination. It didn't click on my first try, but I came back a while later and couldn't put it down.
Feeling really good.

It will come as zero shock, Ultima 4.

Couple of other ones I played early on were Bard's Tale and Phantasie III.

my first rpg was Pokemon but I wouldn't have considered myself interested in the genre as a whole until after I played KOTOR
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.

Breath of Fire 2.

It was the first RPG I played as a kid and what started my lifelong love of the genre.

FF4, back in 1991-1992. Rented it from blockbuster multiple times. Still have fond memories of playing it before school on weekday mornings.
Like it or leave it. Hey, where are you going?

Yuuuup. Me too. First one I ever played and I was hooked from the start!

i think the first RPG i played and got hooked on was KotOR. i was always a shooter or mario guy before that.

Super Mario RPG. Didn't even know what an RPG was at the time, just thought it was some weird subtitle.

Mario RPG, because it was my first one. I didn't even know what an RPG was before then, and wanted to play more immediately afterwards.

Final Fantasy 9 for traditional menu rpgs. First one I ever beat I think on consoles.

Kingdom Hearts however made me like action rpgs more to the point that Im not interested in turn based anymore outside of Pokemon on handheld consoles.

Secret of Mana was my first RPG, but I was never able to replay it because the story is very "baby's first JRPG".

Then I played FFIV, which aged better but is still very basic.

These days I even find FFVI shallow, but it was revolutionary at the time and made me love the games.

By PS1 era we had the good stuff. Suikoden 2, Xenogears, FFVII, BoF 3. Who wouldn't love the genre then?

Unfortunately, it did not really get any better than that.
I've got the Oscar fever! Hope you've got it too! Pour me some bubbly now it's all you gotta do!

My first RPG was the original Dragon Warrior/Quest on the NES. But what truly made me like RPGs were Final Fantasy Adventure (AKA, Secret of Mana) and Final Fantasy Legend III (AKA, SaGa III).

Breath of Fire 3. I played and liked RPGs before that, but that was the one that made me go "these are my games. I love this kind of game."

It was a slew of RPGs from the summer of 1990 to the summer of 1991 that did the trick:

Final Fantasy, Crystalis, Destiny of an Emperor, Ultima: QOA, Sword of Vermilion, Phantasy Star 2 & 3.

It was either Fallout 1 or Betrayal in Antara. I first played their demos (and eventually full versions) around the same time.
One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls.

Order of rpgs played-

  1. Dragon Warrior 1 (did not make me like genre: i like it now but struggled as a kid.)
  2. Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars (it's this one that made me like Rpgs)
  3. Chrono Trigger (best rpg ever. I was set for life here.)
  4. Breath of Fire 2 (loved this game and hilariously found the plot super original since my other rpgs were weird unusual ones so far)

Can't remember which one I played first out of Super Mario RPG and Final Fantasy 4, but it was one of those. Other games I played around the same time that cemented my love were Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy 7, and Chrono Trigger.

Pokemon Blue made me me find it acceptable. FF7 made me like it.

The first one ever played: Phantasy Star.

I'd seen other people play games like Might & Magic and Ultima on PC, but that was the first "real" RPG I ever personally played. I'm not including games that just had some RPG elements like Black Tiger or action games Legend of Zelda.

Final Fantasy (1) back on the NES, not a re-release or subsequent remaster.
I'm not here for friends. I'm here for the truth to the best of my knowledge of it, even if it's not what people want to hear.
