I think I played my first rpg in 1993. It was either Shining Force or Crusaders of the Dark Savant (Wizadry), or Shadows of Darkness (Quest for Glory). I can't remember which one was first... but it was definately one of these three. Although they are still dear to me.. my favorite RPGs didn't come out until the late 90s/ early 00s.

First one I played was Dragon Warrior for the NES. So no.

And my favorite is a tie between Dragon Quest 8 and Mass Effect.

I think it was actually Wild Arms. I got it with a pre-owned Playstation for Christmas one year! Sadly it crashed everytime I tried to exit the Library/school area with the wifie character. ) :
But FF9 is my favourite RPG, so yeah.

The first RPG that I played belonged to my brother back in the early 90's. It was Final Fantasy VI, which I remember the day that he bought it rather vividly. He played a lot of RPGs and SNES/NES games. To answer the question, FFVI is actually my SECOND favorite RPG of all time. My favorite happens to be Chrono Trigger.

no. my first was either ff7 or landstalker/crusader of centy for the genesis. landstalker does rank pretty high but id say my fave overall rpg is either alundra or guardian's crusade so.

Man, I still get goosebumps when Frog confronts Magus on the cliff.

Chrono Trigger was my first serious RPG, and it remains to this day not only my favorite RPG, but also one of my favorite games of all time. (Up there with the Smash Bros. series and Okami...)

I don't remember what my first RPG was, but the first RPG I finished was Dual Orb 2 for the SNES. It's definitely not my favorite, Okage: Shadow King is probably my favorite. I just love that whole Tim Burton-ish vibe it gives off.

Yeah, that was my first RPG.

The first one I probably seriously played was Earthbound. That or Super Mario RPG. I don't know, I have so many SNES memories. =/

I don't even remember which was my first RPG. Maybe Illusion of Gaia if that counts. And it's not my favorite.

Seconded
That game warped my mind because I was only like... 6

Soul Blazer was my first rpg, and the one I've replayed the most so I guess it't my favorite.

Makes me wish Chrono Trigger was my favourite, because then I would have an ironic story about how I didn't like it when I first played it. Although I could have played FF3(6) first, and I would be willing to say that one is my favourite. I can't remember which because I played them both back when our video rental store had SNES games (and we actually went there to rent them!).

The first RPG I remember playing and investing the most time in was Breath of Fire III, and interestingly enough that's how I met my best friend. And best of all it's a really solid RPG in itself, and not all nostalgia.

This. My first RPG was Breath of Fire III too, and it's a pretty damn fine game. Everything, from the visuals, to the music, the awesome dragon designs and a hell lot of other stuff in it just blows me away every time I play it and even when I just think about it. But, it's not my favorite. Nothing else is my favorite, actually, because I don't usually choose favorites.

My first RPG was Super Mario RPG on the snes. While I think its still the best in the SMRPG series, it certainly isn't my favorite RPG.

SMRPG:TLot7S was the first RPG I played, and it is probably my fave gam.

Given that my first RPG was Might and Magic book One, I can't quite say it is my favorite since nearly every sequel has been quite abit better (with a few *cough* more recent exceptions) in my opinion.

My first RPG was Final Fantasy IV. Later on though I got VIII then VII, though they were both great I preferred VIII angst y themes, due to the fact maybe I was 11 years old when It came out, and I didn't know any better. Then came Final Fantasy IX, I was curious at first but to this day, the story and the theme of the game still stands out for me. Final Fantasy IX has to be my favorite RPG at the moment

My first RPG was FF2/4 (technically FF3/6, but I only get 3 hours in it), and it's definitely a game that I cherish, but it's not my absolute favorite. Persona 2 is my favorite, so far.
