As you seem to like Mario games, I will echo LNRT in recommending one of the RPGs in that series (SMRPG, Paper Mario, Paper Mario: TTYD, Mario & Luigi series). They are fun, easy to get into, and extend a world that you are already familiar with. After that, if you want something a bit meatier, move into FFIV DS or FFVI GBA. Or, if you want to get REALLY crazy, some Shin Megami Tensei PS2 games.



Hates Nomura.

Chrono Trigger. After this, you can stop again as you played the best.

 Hells yes for Paper Mario. I have two unfinished Final Fantasy games on a PS2, but I murdered the original Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door.

Chrono Trigger is definitely another good suggestion.

I would recommend any of the Mario rpg's. Super Mario RPG (VC), Paper Mario (VC), Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (GC), Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA), Mario and Luigi: Partner's in Time (DS). They are easy to get into, have fun battles, and the stories are good if a bit goofy.

 

 Exactly what I was thinking. They are great introductory RPG's for anyone.

Final Fantasy X is a good start for your first RPG. It's user-friendly and has a nice average score on both Metacritic and Gamerankings.

Try it, you will not be disappointed. Final Fantasy X was my first game I ever played that was a RPG. I loved it, it sucked a lot of time out of my life. The final boss is epic.

I would say start with the basic series which is Final Fantasy. The most modern final fantasy game that isn't disappointing to some fans is X.

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here and point out that Final Fantasy X's characters and voice acting are so very, very horrible that they may put you off to the genre forever and ever, amen.

Seriously look into Final Fantasy IV DS or Chrono Trigger DS first.

@Khuutra

hmmm, Auron wasn't badass? Jecht wasn't badass, the story wasn't badass? Was Tidus (main character) that lame of a character?

And the voice acting was horrible..lol..your the best :)
