What is the first RPG/JRPG you ever played?

[marvelvscapcom2]

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

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.

I've played a huge amount of MMORPG when I was younger but the first proper RPG i've ever played is Dragon Age Inquisition

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.

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.
