Topic: Favorite 3DS RPG? (so far)

I'm really loooking forward to The Denpa Men,mainly because they're wearing the cutting edge in fashion.

I can't wait until Sticker Star comes out... but until then, I have no interest in the 3DS RPGs.

i respect ur opinion but when you say best rpg ever hat means ur saying that this is better then KH 2 and all the KH games as you said you played them for the series came out?

Dempa men sorting of the critters

That really looks like a good game,hopefully we Europeans will get it before Christmas.

Yeah I like it because it reminds me of Dragon Quest, I still haven't found MY Denpa Man... (Nate) I really wished I got a Japanese 3DS so I could've played this back in Feb... I'll keep smacking my 3DS until I can acsess the Japanese eShop so I can get the sequel

Let's see, there is Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and Radiant Historia (hey, it still counts since you can play it on a 3DS).

I also laugh at everyone that thinks that Zelda is a RPG.

I would have to go with Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, if you guys consider that an RPG. Clearly it has a different format than most RPG's, but you still can level up and such and I believe it is considered a musical RPG or something of that nature. I thought the game was put together pretty well, surprisingly. The controls were not that great but the gameplay and music made up for it. It is the only RPG I have played on the 3DS. I consider Zelda an RPG and played it as well, but apparently it isn't considered an RPG to most people.

Denpa Men because it's the only 3DS RPG I have, but Sticker Star will soon take that position. I still love Denpa Men though and always will!

Shin Megami Tensai : Devil Survivor Overclocked
My Favorite 3DS RPG, as well as my favorite game of all time.

You sir are my new best friend.

@MultiMariosonic Um... Paper Mario isn't an RPG. It's a sticker battle adventure game.

I haven't actually played the 3DS version, but I find it hard to believe that any current 3DS RPG is much better than Tales of the Abyss.

That said, I really need to get around to playing Devil Survivor. It's been sitting on my shelf for over a year, still it's original plastic wrap. I feel bad for neglecting it.

Metroid Prime isn't an FPS, it's a first person adventure game.

Pointless reply was pointless? Or are we all just stating the obvious here.

MGS is not a stealth action game, it's a movie.

I've played OOT 3D, The Sword of Hope II, Gargoyles Quest (yes it is in a way an RPG) and Heroes of Ruin, which are most of the RPGs available for the 3DS at the moment, where I live. I recently imported the EU version of Tales of the Abyss and I have to say it is the best rpg on the system at the moment. Of course some regions have Shin Megami Tensei:Devil Survivor overclocked and Paper Mario: Sticker Star, but we've got neither of those games just yet.

I'll list my favorites thus far (normally I wouldn't include Zelda, but what the heck):

1. Tales of the Abyss
2. LoZ: OoT3D
3. LoZ: Minish Cap
4. the Denpa Men: they Came by Wave
5. LoZ: LADX
6. the Sword of Hope II
7. LoZ
8. Zelda II

Also, still hoping to get KH:DDD and/or Paper Mario: Sticker Star for Christmas.

The feeling is mutual!brofist

A little thread bump (since I've played some more RPGs).

The Sword of Hope II (VC) - At 15-20 hours, it's probably one of the most bang for your buck GB games you can download at the moment. It's story and gameplay are simple, but it's a charming DL for RPG fans (and it's neat seeing them try to be cinematic with a GB game).

The Denpa Men: They Came by Wave (eShop) - easily the most time consuming eShop game available for purchase (20-30 hours to beat story. 40-50 hours if you want to do post story stuff). The Denpa Men add a unique charm (and quirkyness) not found anywhere else, but don't be fooled by it's cuteness, at it's core it's a pretty by the numbers dungeon crawler that can get deceptively difficult (especially the post story dungeons).

Crimson Shroud (eShop) - harkening back to the origins of the RPG genre (no leveling in favor of looting for gear, and lots of dice rolling), this game is sure to bring about nostalgia in you old types, yet feel completely new & fresh to us youngsters (like me). It's not a very long quest (averaging 8-10 hours per playthrough), but it weaves one of the more interesting tales you'll find on 3DS, and you're likely to play through it a second time (to get the good ending).

Paper Mario: Sticker Star - Like Crimson Shroud, Anonymous Notes (DSiWare), and many other before them, PM:SS is an RPG that favors item looting in favor of leveling (make what you will of the one time use twist), and it'll take around 20 hours to beat (30 if you aim for all 8 achievements). It's story is more subdued than past entries, but because of the extra attention to detail (everything looks like papercraft), this game is still full of that classic PM charm (I'm a huge fan of the N64 game, and I'm glad to have played Sticker Star).

Tales of the Abyss - It may be a PS2 port, but it's still the most bang for your buck RPG I've played on 3DS (50 hours to beat, 70 including sidequests). The characters are interesting, and the story has some cool twists along the way. It also has a combat system accessible enough to RPG newcomers, with enough depth to keep RPG veterans entertained as well.

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance - Probably my favorite RPG on the system (but I am a huge KH fan). The story is pretty interesting to us KH fans, some of the later boss battles are probably the most epic on 3DS, IMO, the production values are top notch, the new monster collecting aspect brings new life (and strategy) to the series, flowmotion is fun to play around with, and you're likely to get 20-40 hours out of it.

This list isn't in any particular order, but just my thoughts on what I've played.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: A great game with plenty of replay value, for me it easily sits among the top 3 KH games. The battles were satisfying, the monster collecting was fun, the story was quite good, it looked very pretty on my 3DS XL screen and I played it for 90 hours( two playthroughs) without getting bored for a moment.
The other two RPGs I've played were: 1) Paper Mario, which lacked replay value and felt incomplete as a whole, but was good fun while it lasted. 2) Tales of the Abyss, which has massive replay value and a pretty good story, but I just couldn't get to like the protagonist, no matter how hard I tried.
