What was your favorite RPG as a kid?

[Anonymous No.1191000]

JRPGs and WRPGs included. No MMORPG shit allowed though. My image shows Chrono Trigger as my favorite RPG as a kid, but now it would probably have to be Final Fantasy VI with Chrono Trigger at a close second.

As a kid, my favorite RPG was Super Mario RPG.

Exile 3. I had it on a shareware disc, never really got into the first two but the world of the third one really drew me in, I spent hours wandering around the places the shareware version would let me.
Recently when I tried to get back into it, it wasn't very interesting at all, and neither are the remakes, or the remakes of the remakes.
So now I play Morrowind.

Fallout. Before that I really only played FPS games and a few platformers.

This. It was pretty much the only RPG I had played as a kid.

Now my favorite is Lufia II.

Nice to see a thread on 4chan with both WPRG fans and JRPG fans on, NOT bitching about which is better for once.

[Anonymous No.1191032]

I'd like to say Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. But even that would be ignoring the obvious answer: Pokemon Red & Blue.

As a kid? Suikoden 1
Now? Suikoden 2
Even though Fallout 1 is a close second.

Dragon Warrior/Quest 4 and Final Fantasy 6. Both are still my favorite games.

Muh nigga. Although, I slightly prefer Dragon Quest/Warrior 3 to 4.

I have fond memories of all the NES Dragon Quest games.

Zelda, just Zelda

One of the most fun things I did when playing Dragon Warrior 3 as a kid was make up backstories and personalities for my characters in my mind while playing. It was like playing my very own fanfiction.

I would tell you Zelda isn't an rpg, but I don't want to start a shitstorm in this thread.

I did something similar. I always view Erdrick/Roto as female because I always played as a girl in DQ3.

[Anonymous No.1191069]

Too bad the NES version had no sprite differences for the hero's gender.

[Anonymous No.1191080]

My all-time favorite game was, and still is, Final Fantasy 2(4). Has an epic story, personal redemption, and good memories of the first time I played it.

[Anonymous No.1191084]

Secret of Mana

[Anonymous No.1191085]

SMRPG or Paper Mario

never really cared much for FF, 6 was good though

[Anonymous No.1191092]

Chrono trigger and ANYTHING by square in the psx era. pretty much everything they released was magic to me back in the day

Not really pure rpgs but i was also really into quest for glory 1-4 growing up. i cant even count how many run throughs i have done with those games.

[Anonymous No.1191425]

FFVI

and then Secret of Mana.

[Anonymous No.1191441]

Super Mario RPG without a doubt. I used to draw the world map for that game when I wasn't playing, I got so into it. I beat it a billion times as a kid.

Secret of Mana in second.

[Anonymous No.1191462]

my cousin got me final fantasy chronicles for my 10th bday and i was excited to just play final fantasy iv and didnt think of the other game chrono trigger to much. then i finally played chrono trigger when i got stuck in FFIV and was blown away by how fantastic chrono trigger was. chrono trigger still is my favorite rpg to this day.

This. Also the first FF and first Dragon Warrior. Although, I wasn't really into RPG's too much as a kid. They kind of grew on me more as I got older.

[Anonymous No.1191507]

>>1191504
Oh, and how could I forget Destiny of an Emperor? That was my shit, probably even moreso than the previously mentioned games.

[Anonymous No.1191573]

Only RPG I played as a kid was Mario RPG. I liked it. I'd rent it in the summertime and the hours would fly.

I also had Super Ninja Boy (dem passwords), but it was a more of a beat-em-up+RPG hybrid: overworld encounters and dungeons are sidescroll/beat-em-up (with the ability to jump), boss fights were turn-based with menus, and there were item and weapon shops and so forth.
There was also no saving; the game would generate shitty long ass passwords that were a bitch to write down. (Might as well use fucking savestates these days.)

These days, I don't know. I've just begun getting back into RPG's.

[Anonymous No.1191580]

I didn't play many RPG's as a kid.

Then I got a Gameboy.

Final Fantasy Legend II has to not only be my favorite RPG as a kid, but probably highly influenced my taste in them.

I got the unregistered Exile 3 of a PC Powerplay magazine demo disc I borrowed off a friend in 1998. At the time I had been getting into Ultima 4, but Exile 3 drew all my attention away from it.

I've been playing it again regularly since there was a thread posted about Spiderweb Software games about 3 weeks ago. It's much easier than I remember it being and the combat is kind of shallow, but the sheer amount of content to explore in Exile 3 is truly awesome. It takes hundreds of hours to discover every nook and cranny.
