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

Me, I always liked fantasy oriented worlds and I soon found out that as a gamer you can usually can only get your fantasy fix in RPGs. I started out with Free Dragon Warrior from Nintendo Power, Final Fantasy, and pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons. I played many other NES RPGs such as Ultima and Crystalis, but none of them really felt as fun as Dragon Warrior, not saying Final Fantasy because we only got 1 for the NES over here as opposed to 4 Dragon Warriors.

SNES era, I think I really played almost every major RPG except Earthbound(Don't kill me). I loved most of them except Robotrek and Illusion of Gaia since I was so horribly lost in those. I remember hitting a point in Robotrek where my robots were all maxed out and I was lost and was getting my butt kicked.

I've liked virtually every Final Fantasy before FF8. I played FF8 when a friend got it for me for my birthday. I got to some point in the second disc and quit out of boredom. Seriously the only things I liked about that game were Shiva and the track "Man with a Machine Gun".

I actually haven't played many PS2 RPGs, but that's partially due to the fact that I'm a recovering MMORPG addict.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just wish I had gotten into RPGs while Chrono was still available for under $100... had to settle for emulators. Same for FFVI and SoM. Those golden years just sneaked by me.

You should try Final Fantasy 4 as well. You remember that hidden boss in Mario RPG, Culax or whatever his name was? The boss music from that fight is the boss music in FF4. Just a random thing you might not have known.
