[General Discussion] Getting Involved With The RPG Video Game Genre For The First Time.

First RPG I ever played was Robotrek for the SNES. I remember my brother and I didn't get very far because we would avoid the random encounters and as a result, had incredibly weak party members.

It's a really quirky little number. The lighthearted slapstick is rad, at least.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember the first time I played Mario RPG. I bought the game because at the time, I was subscribed to Nintendo Power and the rave reviews sounded pretty awesome. I think it was the first game I ever stayed up all night, and even into the next day, playing. After moving to Winnipeg, I eagerly awaited the release of the N64 but instead found myself eagerly devouring all the RPGs that I had not yet played on SNES. Earthbound, Secret of Evermore, Illusion of Gaia (didn't get far in this one) Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger. I was hooked.

When I saw FF VII for PS and played a bit of it, I bought a Playstation and played through several of the better games for the system including Xenogears, Wild Arms, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
