My first blush with RPG's is when I got into playing the piano music from the Dragon Quest Series but never actually played it until the remakes.
My First RPG I actually played was Saga, and I didn't enjoy it.
Oddly enough, the first RPG I played that I enjoyed was Saga 2, and my all time fave is FF VI. I was so obsessed with that game, I bought all the books, CDs and even begged (& got) the Music store owner to sell me the In-store promo poster for Grand Finale
