I used to like Animal Crossing but the story like never ending.

I'm playing this currently..not bad..
but I'll like some RPG like ff style

does animal crossing even have a story in the first place?

without the pretty graphics, i dun think ff3 is that good. at least i think golden sun is beta than it.

1. ZELDA <----has always been a RPG
2. Pokemans Diamond/Pearl

/end tread.

/b/??
nooo..
anyway how bout ninja gaiden?

zelda is more like an action rpg and it is definitely not a traditional rpg.

tat is an action or platformer.

Define traditional RPG. Zelda existed before Final Fantasy so that would make Zelda sort of "traditional" as well, being one of the earliest RPGs introduced... I think a few of us here are wondering what you meant by traditional RPG. Dungeons and Dragons tabletop games also can pass as traditional RPG since people were playing it before the console games caught on.

I think the term you are looking for is turn-based RPG.

correct!

when i mean traditional rpg, i am referring to games like dragon quest.

If you want to nitpick.
Traditional RPG = Pen & Paper RPG
JRPG(Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Pokemon) is not real RPG then.
Real RPG = Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur's Gate, Forgoten Realms....

By your logic, there are no real RPG on DS.

Tread Starter asked for "The best DS RPG you have played" not "The best Traditional DS RPG you have played"

also got like tat eh?
traditional or not.. it still a RPG

hehe, everyone has their different traditional rpg i think.

for me, it is always gonna be turn based rpg.

haha, paiseh. i tot when ts states out that he was playing ff, he shud have hinted at ff3, but there are ff chocobo, ff renevant wings, ff ta2. the way square enix milked this series has made me confused.

hmm,the best rpg i have played

1.luminous arc
2.mario and luigi: partners in time
3.pokemon diamond & pearl

my definition of RPG has always been a gameplay that depends on your stats, strategy and luck rather than skill to affect the outcome of the game. Traditional RPG would one way or another implement the dice roll mechanics (1d6, 2d20 lol) that's similar to D&D tabletop RPG. The fact that it's turn based (think FF), or combat/auto dice roll based is just a matter presentation as the basic mechanics still apply.

So Zelda games are what I would call Adventure games, rather than traditional RPGs.
My favourite RPG for the DS would be Revenant Wings. But it's more of a Strategy-RPG than anything else.
also Pokemon, obviously.

I'm looking forward to The World Ends With You, and also that Sonic RPG produced by Bioware.

IMO, Zelda is not an RPG simply because it has better category for it to fit in, Adventure game.
That said, if Zelda is an RPG then the following games would have been RPG as well: Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, God of War, etc.


Agreed!


JRPG = Console RPG.


Computer RPG/Westerner RPG.

so far the best RPG on ds?hmm....tales of innocent...mario&luigi...TOI really syok...now reaching 45hours gameplay..wohoho...only 65% completetion

Agreed with you, zelda is more like adventure game..)
