The Dark Spire is awesome, if you can get your hands on one copy, don't waste time and get it. I know you said you weren't interested in any FF Crystal Chronicles recommendations, but there's no way I wouldn't recommend you Ring of Fates. Seriously, it's IMO, the best JRPG from the DS, probably my favourite RPG from the last gen. BUY IT! Anyway, other games I would recommend you:

Megaman Zero Collection
Megaman ZX/ZX Advent <- Too much Mega Man, I'm a bit sick of it, I only play X now.
Phantasy Star Zero <- Not into Online Phantasy Star Games
Sands of Destruction <-Don't like
Castlevania Portrait of Ruin/Dawn of Sorrow <- Not a fan of Castlevania games
Rune Factory <- Not my cup of tea
Tales of Innocence(if you can read japanese) <- English Patches available, but it's not that good, I played it.
Pokémon Ranger <- Don't like
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon <- Don't like
Another Code <- It's alright, but I just don't have time for everything that's good
Contra 4 <- Not my style of game
Disgaea DS <- Got it for PSP

And that's the ones I remember. Too many games on DS's library.

I heard Dark Spire was only okay, would you say it's better then Infinite Space, Golden Sun, Radiant Historia, or any of the better rated DS JRPG's?

Good recommendations, I've looked at all these games before and passed on them. Some are really good games, just not for me.

Do you have Chrono Trigger on a different platform?

I actually have it for DS, and SNES, I don't know why I didn't add it. It's my favorite RPG.

I'm not sure it's comparable to any of these games you said. In fact, it's more like Etrian Odyssey than anything on the DS, except with an somewhat non-existant storyline(which is great), awesome soundtrack, darker atmosphere and the interchangeable graphics, which is a very nice feature. It's like a homage to those old 80's PC RPGs. I'm kinda biased towards 1st person dungeon-crawlers, though, since it's one of my favourite genres, but The Dark Spire is certainly one of the best games in that specific genre, IMO.

Elite Beat Agents! For the love of god, every DS owner needs a copy of Elite Beat Agents :D



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

As see, I really hate Dungeon Crawlers. I just do, I gave many of them a real shot, but I just don't like them. I just googled an image, this is a very pretty game, just not for me.

Any other recommendations?

I never played Pheonix Wright, or Professor Layton....guess I should try out those games too. Which one should I try first, to judge the series?


The first one of both. Ace Attorney and the Curious Village.

So I have an R4, I only really use it to play English versions of Japanese only games which I import (like Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem). However I decided to try out Prof Layton on the ROM, and you know what? I like it, quite a bit. I'll play it a bit longer to fully decide, but if it's good, I'll buy it for sure.

I have a feeling I'll like Pheonix Wright too, maybe. I read the first 3 are remakes of Japan only GBA games.

Damn, er well joy! A whole new series to jump into.

Was it you or Morenoingrato who voted that game to death in the greatest DS voting thread a few years back?

 

Starfy is a good one. I did not see it on your list.

I voted it up a couple times, but I tried to keep Front Mission alive in that thread.

Ahh what a good thread, I'll have to make one for PS3/360 once they stop releasing games which aren't available on the One/PS4.

Maybe this fall, I'll remake that thread, see if peoples votes change. I know a lot more about PSP/DS games now, so I'll make sure I include everything good.

Not a fan of rhythm games. I have absolutly no beat, people think I'm a retard playing Guitar Hero.

Oh well, it happens, not everyone likes the same genres. Still, if you can find The Dark Spire for cheap so you don't regret your purchase, give it a try. It comes with a CD soundtrack, so at least if you don't like the game, you can listen to the awesome soundtrack. Anyway, I would also recommend Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals, Soma Bringer and Ys Books I & II, if you like Action RPGs, and the Call of Duty games, since those are quite different from the console counterparts(but are good games, if you like more oldschool FPSs). I'll see if I can remember any other games.

Michael,

Sorry I don't have any games to recommend because I believe that games that are not on your list are not worth being played.

That being said, I need your help! When you say that we should import Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and play the english translation, do you mean that it's possible to somehow play the imported version in english on the 3DS ? Thanks for responding!
