I read your review.I went and saw the spoilers anyway, and man, that last part is highly disappointing.Also, I´m (negatively) surprised microtransactions have found their way to a 3DS game, the last place I expected to see one, how naive of me.

Rol, what´s the best RPG for the 3DS, in your opinion?..is it still BD, despite your 6.5 score?...or Pokemon, SMT, etc..?

I haven't played Pokémon and SMT is still not out in Europe. Etrian Odyssey IV is pretty good (I scored it 8.5), followed by Fire Emblem: Awakening (no review yet, but would be in the range of 7.8-8.3) and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. (8.2). The Tales of the Abyss port is also solid and despite some lengths in its story, it's still better than Bravely Default.

How would you rate EO IV over the previous 3 entries in the series? I played all of them myself, I'd just like to know your opinion.
