RPGs just really haven't been the same since, save for a few pleasant exceptions. But isn't that how it always goes?

It seems that way indeed, but I think a bit of that is the nostalgia factor and some of us might be a little jaded when it comes to rpgs now a days.
As for my rpg introduction: I believe the first rpg I experienced was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Awful start, I know. My brothers and I went over to our neighbor's house all the time and I played it there. The game didn't leave much of an impression on me or made me want to start playing games more often, even though we had our own consoles. I usually just watched my bros play games, but one day my younger brother rented FF6 and it was all over from there. After that came Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, and EARTHBOUND. Listening to the music from Earthbound still makes me want to cry big bitch tears. ♥
Anyway, the only statement I don't agree with Denicalis about FF8 is drawing magic. What a horribly tedious and potentially broken system that was. FF8 would have been completely awesome if it had been about Laguna and his crew.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
