We're an RPG forum so I assume we all play RPGs and that somewhere along the line a certain game came along and had a profound effect on you, so which is it? It's not Hydlide is it?So which game did you feel had the biggest impact on you?
RPG that had the biggest impact on you.

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
it's probably FFVI since that's the one that started me on my JRPG binge in the first place. Outside the FF series, Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 3 and Suikoden II all have strong claims, I guess.
Pretty close tie between FF IV and FF VI.
FF IV may be the game that started my love of gaming in general, even though I had played games before it, and FF VI is the one that made me truly start to appreciate how great the medium was.
Final Fantasy VII. It's why I love JRPGs more than any other genre of video games.
There are better JRPGs than FFVII but none of them can take aay its impact on my life.
FFVIII, of course. Changed my life by bringing me directly to you nerds!
Hm, probably FF7. It was the first game to set me down the path of being a 'gamer'.
>>Am willing to change opinions based on data<<
Zelda.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Probably Might and Magic VII. I watched my dad play all of the early Might and Magic games when I was very young, and it's the first one I attempted to tackle myself. I loved running around, taking notes and exploring. It's what sparked my love not only for RPGs but video games in general, so there's a soft spot in my heart for it.
If FFVII never happened then this site would not have existed, therefore I would not have the same friends, I may not have travelled to places like Germany and America, I would possibly not live in this country and I would almost certainly not have met let alone married Danielle.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Final Fantasy VII was my introduction to all things RPG and FF related, so that's an obvious mention. FFX had a pretty profound impact on me because of the characters and themes dealing with things that I found myself relating to so I was the most invested in that journey.
I knew that game was terrible.Originally Posted by Shorty
I'm going to say Mystic Quest because it's terrible and hilarious and it's the first RPG I ever played and lead me directly to FFIV.
There's no way to pick between FF1, which I became enamored with at the age of 4 and never stopped playing, and FF7, which...there aren't even words for what playing that was like.
I was one of those unfortunate children who owned a Sega Genesis but not a Super Nintendo, so while I was aware of FF4 ("2") and 6 ("3"), I wasn't able to play them until Chronicles and Anthology, so they didn't impact me in that nostalgia-driven way.
Shining Force II on the Genesis was the first one I played to completion and sparked my enthusiasm for the genre. But it's eclipsed by FFVII, which took things to a new level and laid bare what video games as a whole were truly capable of.
I'm pretty sure my first and second playthroughs of Morrowind were the best 200 hours of my life (I'm including the second in there because I appreciated it more the second time around)
Final Fantasy IX
