Everyone remembers their very first RPG experience :D.  Which iconic classic introduced the genre to you?  For me it was Pokemon Yellow version :D.

Dragon Warrior / Dragon Quest back on the NES. I rented it not knowing it was an RPG. I was so shocked and I instantly fell in love with it.

My first RPG that had modern story telling techniques (cut-scenes) was Final Fantasy VII followed immediately by Lunar Silver Star Story. Both incredible for the time period. Revolutionary for people like me that had been playing RPGs since the 8 bit days.

First proper RPG I'd say would be Super Mario RPG.  Never really played any on the NES that I remember.

Everquest was the first for me. Although, I never really caught the RPG bug. The only game that I've played since that could remotely be considered an RPG would be the NTSC version of Choro Q HG 2.

Final Fantasy Tactics was my first. Got it when I was 7 years old and if I'm remembering correctly, got pretty close to the end of the game.
Currently Playing
Final Fantasy XIV, Overwatch, Persona 3/4/5

The first RPG I've played was Little Ninja Brothers on NES, didn't know name of the genre since I was so young.

I've also played Secret of Mana at my neighbors house, watching though most of it.

The first two RPG I've completed as a kid (before Pokémon Blue version) was Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG on SNES.

If I remember correctly, Secret of Mana. On PC, Diablo. I don't actually remember playing Secret of Mana that well, but I'm pretty sure that was it. The one JRPG I really remember is Final Fantasy VII.

Breath of Fire was the first RPG I actually played from start to finish.

The first time I saw an RPG, it was at a sleep over. I was watching a friend play Final Fantasy II on the SNES. It was pretty incredible.

Pokemon Red is the first one I can honestly recall playing through.

I played Breath of Fire 2 and Mario RPG in my youth, but I barely recall them, may have just been screwing around on someone else's save data.

I don't remember if I got NES Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy first.
My DW was one of those free copies Nintendo was giving away with Nintendo Power subscriptions, and I eventually finished it.
Believe me, I TRIED to get into FF but I could never get past the Earth Cave no matter how much I grinded. That game made me swear off FF games...until I played my friend's FFIV (well, FFII on SNES) and fell in love with it.
