@Zen, I have no doubts about the "quality" of the titles on the DS, it's just frankly "not my cup of tea." I thought Final Fantasy 7 was absolutely BREATHTAKING for it's time, I REALLY do enjoy sprite based RPG's, but there was something about the CGI that I felt REALLY added to the genre, I think it was it's ability to give me that classic Japanese "epic'ness" so to speak. My taste's in general for the JRPG genre shot up to that larger scale type of gameplay. Which I really don't mean offensively, I just don't feel the DS is cut out for, in terms of data storage, cpu power, screen size, etc etc etc.
I don't think the DS is a horrible console, just so far to be brutally honest, out of it's whole library, I've been interested in 3 titles :/ 2 of which are Brain Training, and now that recent RPG from Squaresoft, something about the world ending :P
But like I said earlier, I don't care how many series's that you could name off, I'd tell you I don't care for them because the hardware it'self, not the series, I just don't feel the DS can do them justice. And as for Dragon Quest... god don't even get me started >< That's a series that feels to be living 4 generations in the past. I played one a looooong time ago, and felt it to be the most generic playing JRPG I've ever seen, then my friend picked up whatever the most recent one was on the PS2, and I figured, hell why not, let's see why the series is so hyped in Japan, and well, much to my dismay, it played... exactly like the one I played before x.x This series never F#$^#$ changes >< It plays like any RPG on the NES and I can't stand that about it. DQ#Whatever can stay the hell away from any system I'm interested in xD I do NOT like that particular series. I just don't like the way they play.
