Mine was also Earthbound. A friend from school brought it over and 10 year old me was blown away. JRPGs have been my favorite genre ever since.

Same.Ultima IV
Although back then I was more of an adventure game (Police Quest, Space Quest, etc...) fan than an RPG fan.

It's not the first one I played, but the first one that really opened my eyes to the genre.

Whoa, good topic
I'm late to the party : ))
Dragonball Z in Famicom/NES
Well, well, if counted as first, this is my first RPG, and by the time, it's japanese, I only press button and amazed with the graphic, but somehow I managed to progrress far
but If I count proper playing, this is my first RPG (i know it's not straight RPG, but SRPG or Strategy game)
This game has special place in my heart at the time, mind blowing gameplay and character designs.
I sometimes replaying this game when I got some long time to play
....dang I need to replay this game for the X times again : ))

My grandma gave me Final Fantasy and a GI Joe helicopter for my birthday when I was in 3rd grade. I remember it vividly.
Took me a while to wrap my head around an RPG since it was different from everything else I played. That said, it was far less convoluted than Simon's Quest so I was able to progress pretty far using a guide.
It wasn't until Final Fantasy II on the SNES when the series really clicked with me.

Final Fantasy II on the SNES which is actually Final Fantasy IV.
Never played a RPG/turn base game before so it was a new experience and ended up really enjoying it. FFIV is still my top 2 Final Fantasy game and it's the one that has the most sword and sorcery feel out of all other FF games.

I dont think I remember the first. If I had guess id say Secret of Mana or Breath of Fire.
I really miss the old school RPG where you had a large cast of playable characters, each with their own distinct attributes. A spoony bard with a harp, a frog that pretends to be a knight, a hunter skilled with bow and boomerang.
Basically your Suikoden or Eiyuden Chronicles type adventures are what I remember most and what I want to play today.

my man, wanted to recommend this RPG to you.One of my very first RPGs, also happens to be the pinnacle of OG Chinese games (before the whole market turned to MMO)
Tells a grand mythical story about a half-Asian Francia knight odyssey from Eurasia, to the Arab World, and to China.
I just can't vouch how good the English translation is, but the game is one of my fondest memories.

It was a Final Fantasy on the original Game Boy. I can't remember which one.
I played it a ton. It might be The Final Fantasy Legend.

Steam reviews say its a remake of a 1999 game. What did it release on? Was it a PC game?

The videos look very rough for a modern remake.

It is the same game that was released in 1999. I believe it is a just a port with adjusted UI and resolution for modern PCs.

Technically my first rpg was pokemon red, but my first true rpg was fallout 2. I couldn't believe it when my friend told me about the game. Being able to be "anything", steal mechanic, persuading people, recruiting companions… Was it the first game or the second one where we were forced into marriage? I still remember the first time I saw the skill selection screen. It was an amazing game, it's still my goat, and I feel very lucky that it was my first serious rpg.

It's hard for me to remember what my first RPG was. Our family was too poor to afford consoles. I got a genesis when like PS1s came out? Played no RPGs on it.
Game boy: Pokemon
Nintendo 64: Maybe Quest 64?
PS1: Maybe Alundra?
It's very hard to remember what was the first.
But I know that it was PS1 games like these that made me fall in love with games and RPGs forever:
Suikoden
Suikoden 2
Grandia
Lunar silver star story complete
Chrono Cross
Legend of dragoon
Final fantasy 7,8&9
Arc the Lad Collection
Legend of Legaia
Xenogears
Just banger after banger.

Fuck, I'm trying to remember, it was probably Phantasie on Atari ST.
I tried going backwards from the game I remember, earliest i got before that one is Ishar.

Probably Zork. We all had floppy discs with Zork on it and brought it in to the computer lab at school. Played it during breaks. My first which I owned was Wizardry on the IBM. Played that thing constantly and made maps of most levels on graph paper.
Definitely this. Love this damn game. I'm playing through the remake now and it's great.
