I don't consider Zelda an RPG. Except maybe Zelda II.

I'm not sure how many people do consider it an RPG (I actually don't consider it one, but eh).

Pokemon FireRed on GBA. I played it when I was five or six years old. I'm actually so sad I lost the cartridge  ;_;

I can't exactly remember. I would pokemon but it's on and off rpg game to me, for that I would say either Final Fantasy 4 or Breath of Fire (the first one), at the tender age of between 7 to 10.

Wild Arms was my first, I consider this game as one of the best and finest Rpgs ever made, it's absolutely a gem and a must have. Forget about Alter Code F (the remake) and play this one. The first Wild Arms is the best of the entire series.

Technically, the first RPG I played was the original Final Fantasy for the NES. Though, I didn't really do much playing, just watching my older cousin play and occasionally pressing a button.

The first one I ever really played myself was Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for the SNES. It's kinda looked at as the slow kid brother of the series, but it was actually a lot of fun, was well-written, and is a good introduction to the genre. It started a lifelong love of the genre, which continued on through Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire, and many others to follow.

The first one I made was actually a pen-&-paper fantasy RPG i played with my friends. There really wasn't any classes or spells (everyone had a unique magic talent like growing plants, becoming invisible or walking up walls), and stat math was kept to a minimum.

Either Legend of Legeia or Wild Arms for the ps1, I forget which I actually played first, but they were both awesome and I got whichever one I bought second specifically because the main characters looked really similar, like almost identical to the point where I at first thought the games might be related to each other in some way.

If I remember correctly, my first RPG was Ultima 2 on C64 - the games I played on the Tandy Color Computer couldn't be called RPGs...

Pokèmon Red. Before that I wasn't acquainted with RPG's. Shortly after, I played FF8, then started digging backwards through 7, 6 and 5.

Final Fantasy 6 on the SNES.

I was fairly young and it took me who knows how long to get past Zozo, didn't get much further in the game then that before it vanished.

I honestly can't remember. I've been trying and trying, I even pulled up a list of all NES and SNES RPG's. I remember playing a whole bunch of them but I can't remember which was first. I remember that the first one I owned was Lufia, but I don't know if the first I played was Final Fantasy or Secret of Mana or Breath of Fire or none of the above. I just remember being really interested in them before I even played my first one. I played every one I could get my hands on at that point and haven't stopped playing them since.

My first RPG was Phantasy Star 2 on the Sega Genesis. I didn't get very far though, it took me a while before I actually got into the RPG genre.

Hmm well to start, i'm currently making my first RPG. Not even sure what to call it yet.

But the first RPG I ever played must have been pokemon red back on the gameboy color. That is the first RPG that comes to mind, i don't think i payed attention to what genre games were before then.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
