Final Fantasy 7 done it for me. No access to internet at the time, and FF being completly new to me i went out and bought it.
oh my word was i dissapointed, i expected some sort of zelda adventure, I didnt understand why the hell i had to wait to attack, why the hell do i need to select moves, what all this stas bullshit. Traded it in the next day, thinking never again
4 years later i played Skies of Arcadia got used to the whole RPG style of turnbased battles and thought i might have been wrong about FF7. So i bought FF8 and thought.... not bad.
Thank fuck for SoA, otherwise i would still be hating on Rpgs, and would have missed out on the brilliant KOTOR
