Title: What Was the First RPG You Ever Beat?
Post by: burningdoom on September 06, 2018, 02:48:19 am
What was the first RPG you ever beat?

Mine was Dragon Warrior IV on NES.

I owned the original Dragon Warrior and the original Final Fantasy beforehand, but DW IV was the first I actually vested enough interest in the story to beat it.

Dragon Warrior was my first, then Final Fantasy and Ultima Exodus all on the NES.
I came close to beating Ultima V on PC, but could never defeat all the Shadowlords.

In my case, it was Phantasy Star on the Master System. It was also probably the first game completely translated to Brazilian Portuguese that I’ve ever played! THANKS, TECTOY!!

Final Fantasy VIII. My first actual video game console was the PlayStation, which I bought with my own money after playing the PC version of Final Fantasy VII.

"Lost Eden?" if you want to call that game an RPG for PC. It is more of a click adventure, but it is not an open world. I barely remember how this games story was/is  but it has things to do other then just point and click it somewhat has riddle solving and I remember Lost Eden was/is a good fun game to beat and play

Super Mario RPG or Chrono Trigger on the SNES.  Never played any NES RPG's and those were the only SNES RPG's I played.  Then it was Final Fantasy VII and dabbling in the FF series from then on out.

Oh wow, I never thought about this before. I usually played them and never finished them a a kid, then for my birthday one year I asked for loads of Final Fantasy games and got FF7, FF9, FF10 and FF12 together, I soon played and finished FF7 and FF9 and I can't for the life of me remember which I did first... it'll be one of those two though. FF7 or FF9.

Ever since I was 4 or 5 years old FF8 was my obsession but I never actually finished it until I was about 17 or 18, I kept starting over all the time then eventually the discs stopped working cause I kept leaving them out.

Super Mario RPG for sure.  I may have played a few others, but this was the first one to really engage me, and I had to see it through to the end.

Breath of Fire on the Super Nintendo.

Now there's a question...

erm

Either Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for the SNES, Mystic Quest Adventure (Seiken Dewhatsit 1 for GB) or Chrono Trigger for the SNES. I had played RPGs before, particularly on computers, but never came close to beating them.

Final Fantasy III (SNES), I think. For a minute, I was really in to RPGs. Loved them on the Super Nintendo.

I haven't a clue. I can remember playing RPGs a long time ago, but I have no memory of actually beating them. My earliest memory that I can think of playing an RPG for a decent amount of time was Ultima IV, but as I said I do not really remember if I had beaten it or not. I am confident that Ultima IV is probably the first RPG I've played, that's something at least.

If The Legend of Zelda doesn't count then probably Zelda II: The Adventure of Link or Phantasy Star 1.

Chrono Trigger DS

I never was a RPG person as a kid so it's probably Dragon Age Inquisition.

Pokemon Gold probably for JRPGs and Fallout New Vegas for Western RPGs

Wow. Zelda II is a doosy, too. I still can't beat it, most of the time. I can always make it to the final boss, but that damn Shadow Link gets me every time after being nearly drained by the Phoenix right before him.

I did beat it once, but that was a fluke.

Still love the game, though.

Technically Pokemon Red Version, but for some reason I have hard time calling Pokemon an RPG, even though I know that it is. Weird I know.


But other than that I beat FFVII a couple years later which is the first undeniable RPG I ever beat.

If i would ignore pokemon it be would FE shadow dragon wich got me more involved into rpg's

With emulators I did play some rpg's wich I didn't finish earlier tmedabots an rpg adventure and fire emblem the blazing blade on emulators at a friends house, Could never find these games in store when I was a kid even in the smaller electronics stores wich had the more obsecure stuff :-[ Boy did the 2nd hand market open a whole new world for me. Retail stores suck as far as availability goes most of them anyways.

This when I was about seven years old. A fun game from what I remember. Definitely not as bad as you'd think.

Phantasy Star IV, one of my friends me borrow it and at the time I had NO idea what an RPG was, before that video games to me was basically just platformers and fighting games. That kid changed my life!

I think it was Pokemon Diamond? I honestly can't remember.

I was going to say Pokemon FireRed, but to this day I still haven't beaten it  :-[

Holy god someone else played that game?! That game was actually good, never would have thought I'd find a Harry Potter JRPG.

The second one (Chamber of Secrets) was even better I thought. It used the same assets and everything as the first one plus it's intriguing simply due to the fact that it was the last video game title ever officially developed for 8-bit hardware. The third one on GBA is actually an RPG as well so if you're looking to get your Harry Potter RPG fix, it might be worth looking into as well.

Dragon Warrior on NES.
Didn’t finish another RPG until FF III (VI) on SNES.
