Hi there, I'm new to DS, I like RPG game very much..
currently have FF only.. if you've played other RPG
and you think it is worth to play, mind sharing here?
tells how's the gameplay, storyline, graphic, artwork,
music, difficultly and etc etc..

How about zelda...
FF for me is quite boring on every version in DS...

Both Castlevania's are nice.. Action RPG

Subarashiki Kono Sekai is probably the most unique RPG I've ever played on the DS.

Zelda and Castlevania

Tales of Innocence is the next-best RPG to FF series on the DS.

I wouldn't consider Zelda and Castlevania as RPG.

I thought that's only in Jap so far?

POKEMON DIAMOND AND PEARL , NUFF SAID!!! LOL!!!

actually i meant to say Ash - Archaic Sealed Heat since it's the first ds game to have lots of CG cutscenes and has decent turn-based gameplay and also a likable, sexy main character. MOE MOE HE HE!!!

final fantasy ring of fates is a must if you are a rpg lover.

I'm not good in writing review,you should find the professional one in gamespot.

Quoted for truth. they are not reli traditional rpg and you clearly state out what i am going to say.

so what if it is only japanese version currently? it doesnt make it a bad game if you know to read japanese i guess.

is it english version?

isn't it in a way some sort of rpg ? its listed under action adventure what, combinations of RPG and action Games ?

besides Zelda, Lost Magic & Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings are quite good too although they aren't your traditional type of RPGs

Subarashiki Kono Sekai will be released in english soon and renamed to The World Ends With You.

i think ts is looking for traditional rpg.

Does front mission DS count as a RPG ? cause its awesome too

still not reli a traditional rpg. shud be srpg.

hey, whatever you do don't play sims related games -__-". the urbanz one is so stressful, the sims stranded on the beach one is so boring -__-"

Yes, it is only available in Japanese, and after having played it, I somehow doubt it would be released in English. As said, just because it is Japanese doesn't make it a bad game, there are a few fan translation projects too, if that helps.

nice thread.....any1 got english RPGs that really get you hooked?

*aside FFs...I'm playing that now *

front mission...ok check

Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time

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

yahoo. tales of innocence!

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

dunno why they refuse to bring it to usa.

namco not so interested in ang mo market gua...still remember TOP gba only release Eng ver after 3 yrs...so wait lo...

yala, and top localization was done by nintendo team and not namco leh.

no chance edy la. they are still not interested in reaching mass markets other than japanese i guess think.

houkago shounen also not bad...it bring back all my childhood memory with my primary skool mate...seriously is nice...highly recommended if u can understand jap...is a harvest moon like game and u play all the mini game like eraser wrestling....sweEt
