Board 8 » What was your first RPG?
And was it made by Square?


FF7 for me.

(unless you want to squabble over games you tried but never took seriously, in which case it'd be FF1 or maybe Shining Force)

FF8 for me
This is my signature.
Earthbound

Of course my next X number of RPGs were all Square, where X is however many I played between Earthbound and Xenosaga.

Edit: Oh shit, the second part is not true because I forgot about Quest 64 (for good reason).

Wow just realized my first video game was an RPG
Tangy's Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I , II, III, IV , V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X , XII, XIII, XV
Final fantasy 1 on the NES.

FFX was what I think of as my first RPG, but I guess I played Pokemon and some Lord of the Rings games before that.
Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00 , this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment!
I don't actually remember, I played Secret of Mana, Mario RPG and The 7th Saga (lol) all around the same-ish time, but I can't recall the order.

Actually, thinking about it, SoM and the 7th Saga were definitely before Mario RPG, so it was one of those two.
Pokemon Red

Secret of Mana.
Not changing this sig until Caius Ballad is released in FFRK.


duh
Final Fantasy Legend 2. EarthBound was my second years later, and it was the first one I loved, prompting me to rent all the SNES RPGs I'd missed by that point.

i think the first game i played that i would consider firmly in the rpg genre was ff7. either that or pokemon red...
You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
First one I ever played but didn't take seriously was Final Fantasy; I rented it when I was 6 and had no clue what I was doing.

First one I ever played that I did take seriously and played to the end was Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest.

So obviously Square wins either way here

Best I can remember it was FF6 on the SNES.
There never was a post. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.
I technically played a bit of Dragon Warrior before Final Fantasy at a friend's house, but I'd say Final Fantasy for the NES is the first I really played
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
Final Fantasy III (SNES) or Final Fantasy Legends III (Gameboy). Can't remember which was the first one I actually played.
BK_Sheikah ? More like BYIG_Sheikah.

FF1. The Ultima series might have come first, but FF1 was what got me hooked. I'm not sure I actually played either at the time, though- might've just "helped" my dad play.

But if you're only talking JRPGs, then it was Final Fantasy VII. Which was pretty much the first JRPG ever to get any kind of attention in Europe (and maybe the fifth JRPG ever even released here)

Chrono Trigger maybe? though I was playing it on a friend's SNES that she was borrowing from a friend, so I didn't beat it then. it wasn't until much later that I bought and beat the PS version

first one I beat is Final Fantasy Legend III

It's okay to name WRPGs, MMORPGs, SRPGs, or whatever you think is appropriate if you consider it an RPG. Just asking for your first RPG, not exclusively your first JRPG.

Pokemon R/B. First real console RPG was Final Fantasy X.
Almost positive it was Mystic Quest. I was about 3 or 4 so if I played something before that I don't remember
