Ignoring Aviggo's Flamebait, i gotta call something out.

First off, pokemon is a grindy game not for everone? Have you seen the sales of the thing, if 10+million sales for each game is now considered niche, i really don't know what to say to you.

No 3DS rpg comes close to P4G? Have you played Etrian Odyssey? Have you played SMT 4? Have you played Pokemon? Gameplay wise, it absolutely smashes P4G. Persona 4 has amazing characters, great story, and the social link element is amazing, but the gameplay is still bad. You complain about grindy games like Bravely and pokemon and yet you still say how excellent P4G is? You go through a dungeon with the same music, same enemies, same combat, that tends to last 3-4 hours. You need to grind off the golden hands or else your party will get destroyed by the boss stage. The only thing that stops it from being unplayable is the fact that at least the music is nice and changes per dungeon, unlike Persona 3's 250+ floor tower with the same music throughout.

P4G is still an amazing game, but to say nothing on 3DS matches it....i would say you need to broaden those horizons on 3DS games.

I own a 3DS, I could pick up Etrian Odyssey any time I like, but I choose not to because it simply doesn't look that great. SMT4 isn't out in Europe, yet I wouldn't be interested anyway. I already have Pokemon Y, and although it's great, I still don't think it holds a candle to P4G.

Your opinion of P4G really is going against the grain, so don't state it like it's a fact. I and many others think that it's gameplay is great, and is overall one of the best games of the 8th gen so far. Reviewers seem to collectively agree, being the 2nd highest rated JRPG of all time on GameRankings.
