First RPG I played, and it definately got me into the genre.

User Rating: 8.7 | Final Fantasy USA: Mystic Quest SNES
This oldie is a gem. I picked this up from a friend of family, something like that, when I was about 9. This game had me glued to the TV for weeks. Many may say that it's not up to scratch with everything else that Square has released, but it is by no means a poor release. It is an original game, with unique story line and, as far as I remember, pretty well designed characters. I'm not going to say that Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is for everyone, it almost certainly is not. However, I'm sure of one thing, it's definately for me.
