Your Origin of Jrpging.

I'm still waiting for clan wars to start

lol. Poor guy's gettin' senile, thinks its 2003 still

Crystalis was also there for me, intermittently, because my cousins had it but I didn't. Then our old boy Psiko bought and shipped me a copy as a surprise some number of birthdays ago.

I LOVED Crystalis! It was my favorite game, back in the day.

I think my first JRPG proper was the original Dragon Quest (called "Dragon Warrior" here in the US), which my bro got with a subscription to Nintendo Power. I didn't actually play a Final Fantasy until '99, when I was in Middle School. That one was FF3j (as opposed to FF3a, which was actually FF6j. Or Simply FF6, now.)
