1. Kid Icarus: Uprising
2. Virtue's Last Reward
3. The Last Story
4. Nintendo Land
5. Resident Evil: Revelations
The last couple of spots were tough, because Theathrythm Final Fantasy, Paper Mario: Sticker Star and various other eShop titles are well in contention.
Plus Project Zero 2 and Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask once I actually get around to playing them.
@ConfusedOwl I see you just joined recently. Welcome to NL! You seem to have a great taste in games. XBC is amazing and its good to see another Tales of fan. Tales of the Abyss is my 2nd favourite game everand Tales of Symphonia is my favourite game ever. As you can see from my first post, I also really enjoyed ToS: DotNW which may not be as good some of the other games in the series but I think its a lot better than many other fans say it is.
@FonistofCruxis Thanks for the welcome! I'm actually a Tales of newb but I do love all the games that I've played in the series. I still haven't gotten around to getting Symphonia but it is on my priority list right now. Tales of the Abyss I enjoyed for the most part but at around the 25 hour mark it kind of wore me out with all the running around and cutscenes with very little dungeon crawling/battling.

I can see what you mean, there was a lot of backtracking to the various towns in the game but there is less of it later on in the game. For the most part, it didn't bother me that much because of how good the story and characters are but I remember one session where I didn't have time to play it for more than an hour and that entire hour was spent in Baticul talking to characters to progress the story which was annoying. The 3 I've mentioned are the only games in the series I've played so I've only played one more than you have. Have you played any others aside from the two you mentioned?
Tales of Vesperia is still my favorite Tales of game. While I felt that TotA had a better story overall, and the mechanics were just right in both with only a minor flaw here and there (and they were both incredibly similar battle-system-wise), I loved the world and the characters in ToV more, especially Yuri Lowell. I'm still hoping Tales of Xillia tops it, though.

Tales of the Abyss does have a great story. Even though it was only around 45 hours it felt more like 60. They somehow managed to throw in so much lore and backstory, which I'm impressed with. I admit to not understanding any of the weird made up science haha (Are you even suppose to understand it?)
@CanisWolfred Vesperia is also my favourite in the series. I really like that they broke a lot of the anime cliches that most JRPGs seem to have. Estelle not being a love interest but more of a sister figure to Yuri was interesting, and Yuri being an adult with an already established personality was really refreshing, no angsty teen protagonists in this game at all. The game also has great voice acting.
Probably everything I got for my 3DS ( Since I got It last year)
(in no order x3)
-Style Savvy trendsetters
-Rhythm thief and the emperors treasure
-Paper Mario sticker star
-Harvest moon a new beginning
-MK7 Woah... Double parenthesis

It took me around 76 hours to beat it but I did do quite a few sidequests. Yeah, I think there was too much jargon and terminology to understand in TotA.
