Paper Mario, with a small shout out to Mario RPG on SNES. I rented Mario RPG a couple of times from blockbuster and loved the idea of just... exploring the world, talking to people, etc.

It started with text based adventure games on PC like Zork and then evovled to Wizardry. On console though Im another one that started with Dragon Warrior (Quest) as a young teenager and then a year later Final Fantasy. I was hooked from the start. Its still my favorite genre.

Guys, Zelda is an action adventure game, not an RPG.Guy, Zelda is an Action RPG. The only exception, here, is if you strictly use the definition Gary Gygax (TSR's D&D co-creator) used for tabletop Role-Playing Games, which are group-based, cooperative, and face-to-face live. "If you are not role-playing as a character to another person [in the same game], who are you role-playing to?" It also means you also accept that, to-date [as of 2024], there are no video game RPGs--only simulations. --- '~' ... Copied to Clipboard!

Guy, Zelda is an Action RPG.Zelda 1 took after Adventure, the 2600 game that combined the action and adventure genres. Action being the genre in which you fight/avoid stuff in real time, and adventure being the genre all about finding items to get past obstacles. A typical action game for 2600 might be Aquaventure: https://youtu.be/WhG4C8XIXzA?si=_p3fcYNOqFDT3SG6 And a typical Adventure might be Swordquest: https://youtu.be/9uS36IYKbpY?si=GyzdWqiIPUzVICfm And as the combination of the two, Adventure: https://youtu.be/LQZDRELOqoI?si=hsGblAYbIZwJ3hTc The fact that both RPGs and action adventures have things like NPCs and upgradeable stats is largely by coincidence. RPGs get them from their tabletop origins, while AAs get the pickups because, well, it's an item you pick up that helps you with action gameplay. Just like the square guy in Adventure picks up the sword in order to fight the dragon (yes, that arrow is supposed to be a sword), except you don't have to put it down. And the NPCs are just well-polished means of giving the player direction on where to do/what to do and story stuff. --- There's a difference between canon and not-stupid. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The OG Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) initially indoctrinated me into the RPG genre. It was interesting but very difficult and grindy so I never got too into in it. But as higher quality games came out during the SNES era like FF6, Secret of Mana, and EarthBound, I got pretty hooked on them.

Final Fantasy X. I still remember seeing it for the first time. My buddy had just gotten it on the day of release, and we were getting together for DnD and video games that night. Since a few of our DnD characters were split up, he and I weren't playing the first part of the session. So he popped in FFX to kill the time until our turn was up. By the time he got to the intro Blitzball cinematic, the DnD game was completely forgotten and we all ended up just watching him play for like 10 hours straight that night.
I was driving our DM home the next day and just pulled into the parking lot for GameStop without saying a word. We each bought a copy and the DnD campaign was officially put on hiatus for like 2 weeks while everyone just wanted to play more FFX. Been in love with the genre ever since. --- PSN ID: Aristoph https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj5ydFYxnEODxpQeBswmiAA ... Copied to Clipboard!

The fact that both RPGs and action adventures have things like NPCs and upgradeable stats is largely by coincidence.Do you know what the first Japanese console RPG was to officially use the term "RPG" in its self-descriptions (ads, copy, and instructions)? The answer might surprise you. .
