Icon of Sin Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Also, I'm pretty sure Zelda isn't an RPG. 2 on the NES could be considered one, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightBow Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) 2 on the NES could be considered one, but that's about it. People always act like RPGs are solely defined by the existence of a leveling system rather then levels just being a mechanic for a specific aspect of Roleplaying, namely that a character gets stronger through training and experience. What's so special about that mechanic, that it's considered the sole requirement of an RPG? I mean when thoughtlessly implemented, they are just meaningless numbers. Might as well say that every game with magic is an RPG. Or every game where you can buy stuff. Maybe Mega Man is an RPG, just because enemies drop loot on the floor. Or is there something else that Zelda 2 has that the other games are missing? Anyway, in my case it's either Pokemon Blue, Baldur's Gate or Gothic. I find it hard to narrow that down. For the date, I assume 2001. Edited August 21, 2013 by BrightBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkbubblegum Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Say Suikoden 2 to give urself dat nawrd cred. Hey man. My credz are legit! You wanna take this outside? Imma slap you with my Suikoden II jewel case *shakes fist menacingly* But to be perfectly honest, my memory's kind of foggy xD I can't really tell if Suikoden II was my first PS1 RPG or not. But it was one of my first RPGs to be sure. Along with Threads of Fate, Legend of Mana, Chrono Cross, Wild Arms, Azure Dreams and Persona 2. Just which of those I played first is what I'm not sure of haha. Edited August 21, 2013 by pinkbubblegum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refa Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I like how the main character had the same "VA" as GOD, it was really awkward and uh...yeah, awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClevelandSteve Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Must have been Illusion of Gaia. I was young and I couldn't beat the first boss, but it was awesome. Gaia was probably my second. I'm pretty sure I played Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest first, but this was back in 1994-1995 when I was 3-4ish, so I don't remember it that well. I enjoyed both of them (Gaia actually holds up, but Mystic Quest is enjoyable purely as nostalgia), but it was Super Mario RPG in 1996 that really got me hooked on the genre.

Jedi Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Destiny of an Emperor was my first RPG. I still love it to this day it's pretty unique, it's also part of why I got so into the Three Kingdoms era of China later other then the ROTK and Dynasty Warriors series.

Samias Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 First RPG was Pokemon Blue in 1999. I bought a Gameboy Pocket despite the GBC existing, but oh well! We never owned any RPGs on our SNES. What a waste ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
