First RPG I'd ever played was Chrono Trigger and it still remains to be my favorite of all time. What about you guys?

My favorites are Terranigma and Legend of Mana....both of which I played several years after I got into the genre. So no.

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.

Chrono Trigger, FFVI are awesome, though.

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. So yes, it's my favorite.

Nope. But I still do take influences from it. My first RPG was Final Fantasy 1 for the NES. I'd use a Fighter, Monk, Thief, Red Mage party and complain about everything poisoning you in the marsh cave and Sorcerors 1 hit killing you in the Ice cave.

Final Fantasy 4 was my first I played seriously (I have memories of playing Dragon Warrior when I was stupidly young), but is not my favourite. It's up there, but it isn't at the top. That spot is reserved for it's younger brother, Final Fantasy 6.

Same here, that was the first RPG I played as well. I didn't care for it at all. I don't think I would've been anymore thrilled with any of the earlier FF series, seeing as I usually lean to the hybrid rpgs like strategy or action.

@Marcus: ...but FFX-2 is my favorite game. :<

My first RPG, however, was... ... ... I think one of the Harry Potter GBC games. They are so awesome and you should at least try the Chamber of Secrets because they are so awesome, did you know that they are so awesome?

As much as I love the HP GBC games, they aren't my favorite. Sorry.

The first RPG I played was Dragon Quest which I dropped like midway through for Final Fantasy. My favorite RPG is either Chrono Trigger, Legend of Mana or Oblivion which all came years later so I'm gonna have to answer no.

The first real RPG I ever played was Final Fantasy III for NES. Could have been an early ROM, don't remember. My personal favorite RPG is FFVII however, it's simply a game I never get bored with no matter how many times I play it.

Yes yes yes. I was a big platform gamer when I was younger, then I played Final Fantasy VIII and was just HOLY SHIT. I still feel like that.

Breath of Fire II was the first RPG I played and it remains one of my favourites to this day. At at four-way tie with Suikoden II, Terranigma and Lufia II.

I wanna play some more Lufia II and Breath of Fire II but my brother borrowed my SNES, damnit! Guess I'll just have to drop a couple of hints and add a few bribes to get it back. (My brother has sticky-fingers when it comes to consoles.)

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

First RPG... well the first was the first FF... but I really didn't know much about it at first, but the first actual game I played and enjoyed was Earthbound, that game was my bible. Then I played FF6, and those two are 1st n' 2nd. Best games I've ever played, will always be my favorites, despite the better games out there.
