What game(s) drew you into your favorite genre?

[templeofanubis]

I was thinking of making this a post for what game drew people into RPGs but not everyone likes RPGs so I thought I'd make this try to cover all the genres. Just say what the genre it is and what game got you hooked on that genre. I'll start.







For me, my favorite Genre is the RPG, other genres come close but can't quite compare in my eye.



The games that got me into the genre are the games Shining Force 2 for Sega Genesis (Tactical /RPG) and Wild Arms for the PS1 clinched that. It wasn't till after that I was introduced to FF7.

I have two favorite genre which are the RPG and Strategy type game. what started me on the RPG was pokemon, lol FF sealed the deal on that category tho. as for strategy, it was the advanced wars and fire emblem series that drew me in. ive followed those two franchises pretty well at least in terms of release in the US.

Most definitely Final Fantasy 7 and Legend of Dragoon. Those 2 dragged me into the RPG genre violently. After that I played a lot of RPG's. But ever since Final Fantasy X-2 I haven't played many RPG's. FFX12 was a let down as well.
