Mine was Final Fantasy for the NES, but I was too young to figure it out. I was probably 5 or 6 at the time. The first two I actually comprehended were Earthbound and Super Mario RPG. Super Mario RPG was one of those unprecedented partnerships that will never happen again. Even if it did I'm not sure Square Enix has the same talent anymore. Itoi has gone on record saying he will never make a Mother 4, with Mother 3 still not getting a release in the states, so Earthbound and Earthbound Beginnings (Mother 2 and 1) are it. A little later Diablo and Fallout came along when I got a PC. I tend to prefer those style of RPG's, but there are a few exceptions.
Discuss.
