Your first RPG you ever played?

Super Paper Mario. It was also the first game I played that had a story besides collecting things. That game is beautiful. I get why Paper Mario fans tend to dislike it but damn does that game hit hard for being a kids game.
 
Final Fantasy VIII. Never beat it.
I'm the same, I hate FF8 vanilla. If you aren't averse to gameplay overhauls, try FF8 Crystal or FF8 Ragnarok, you may be able to finish and actually enjoy the game then (that's my case).
 
Phantasy Star 3 for the SEGA MD it was my introduction to the genre.
I love the generational system on that one, and the overall premise, but it looks a bit too irredemably ugly to me.
 
It's mostly between these four

I think mario & Luigi partners in time or pokemon pearl, don't know which one came first. But the first "traditional" RPG i played was SMT1 and that was the game that really got me into RPG as a genre.
 
Pokemon Yellow on the Game Boy Color, its what seriously got me into RPGs.
I realize Pokemon is a bit of a standard one lol.
Back then Pokémon was still cozy and fresh. I fondly remember playing Crystal and enjoying it.

It certainly was and the series didn't try to pander to audiences outside of gaming. I wonder how much of that had to do with the Nintendo R&D teams being closely involved with the development of those early GameFreak iterations.
I know it's not just nostalgia, old Pokemon hits harder.

Oh you're absolutely right, it was different. I can't say precisely when things shifted, but for me personally, I stopped enjoying Pokémon after Gen 4. Up to that point it still had a fun sense of whimsy and wonder to me.

I would have to agree, it was around Gen 5 when there was a serious generation shift for the worse, when they stopped making "definitive" iterations of the series would be the definite new low end. And the series never truly recovered, it got so bad now that the latest mainline entry looks like a Unity asset flip and the actual Unity game (palworld) looks like a more competent entry.

And that is probably the true reason behind Nintendo's legal frothing. They can't have themselves be outdone in their own arena (though they repeatedly have been).

Absolutely, they simply cannot stand the fact that an amateur team of developers truly outdid them on every front that matters with a title that isn't really even innovative and said game is being sold on the competing platform as well (Playstation 5)
 
That I played was Little Ninja Brothers back in 1991 which was more of an action-RPG. The first RPG I completed was Chrono Trigger on SNES, and for handheld was Pokémon Blue on Game Boy Pocket.
