Original Nintendo RPG? Can't remember name?

I played this RPG on the original Nintendo as a kid. I have a sketchy memory about it, and I can find similar looking games like Gauntlet, Final Fantasy and Dragon Master etc.

There were 4 or 5 characters to set up at the begginning. You choose which ones you want them to be( for example, you could have all wizards or all healers if you wanted). Then as you chose your characters, you could also set up each of their attributes with a number of points, so you could put so many points into health, or intelligence or something like that). There were differnt classes to choose from such as (not sure if these were the exact names): Wizard, Barbarian, Priest (Eunuch maybe?), Woodsman, etc.

When you were in a battle, you could see the foe and the characters on the screen. You could go to inns, spend the night to regain health, eat food for health etc. You traveled from village to village doing quests and could talk to people. The characters would follow each other in a line as you traveled from place to place.

I can't really remember any more details. I kind of remember the priest being in a blue robe as you set up his skills, and I think he was referred to as a Eunuch, maybe as a cleric. i just remember him being round looking with a cross on his tunic. The charters were all so similar to characters and classes in other RPG's so it's hard to remember distinguishable characteristic.

    Sounds like Ultima. The only Major RPG releases I remember for NES were Dragon Warrior1/2/3/4,Final Fantasy,Wizardry,and Ultima.Ultima had a LOT of sequels so try looking up one of those. I didn't list any of the side scroll games because I consider them Action games Im sure there are tons of RPG's I left out but those were the main ones I remember.

    Source(s): I have a Tattoo of the Symbol of Erdrick....need I say more?
