Tales is the #1 rated JRPG this entire generation, beating out the closest competitor, Disgaea 3 by a comfortable margin.

Having said that, it really depends on what you want for a RPG. If you want action-based, try Oblivion, Mass Effect or Tales of Vesperia.

If you want slower, turnbased gaming, try Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon.

There are 5 RPGs on the DS that have a better score on Gamerankings than Tales. I don't think there's really any dispute that the DS is part of this generation, so it beats the 360 by a comfortable margin in the JRPG category. But thanks for bringing up a PS3 game which was COMPLETELY UNRELATED. If you want to bring up PS3 games, Valkyria Chronicles could give Tales a run for its money. And I really have no idea why you recommended western RPGs...

Go with Lost Odyssey.

 

Really? You've played Valkyria Chronicles? Tell me about it. I want to know more about the gameplay specifically.

In overall quality, Tales is indeed the best so far this gen. The DS has great RPGs for a HANDHELD. If the DS JRPGs were ported with a bigger & better battle system with better graphics to a HOME console, then yes they may give Tales a run for its money. As of now, no, they don't.

 

Its like people can't even look at the big picture anymore. We're talking OVERALL best JRPG, not best HANDHELD JRPG.(Yes I have played TWEWY.)
