Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Best DS JRPGs?

Hi guys, I am trying to build up a list of DS JRPGs I could play. I am not really looking for remakes like the Final Fantasy titles or Chrono Trigger, just DS specific titles like Sands of Destruction which I am about to start now.

Thanks guys.

well you just knocked off a big chunk with the no remakes... but The World Ends With You, Etrain Oddessey series, Shiran, ...ill get more



Shin Megami Tensei:Devil Survivor, The World Ends With You

In March the best DS JRPG of 2010, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey.



                                        

The World Ends With You and Suikoden Tierkreis are my two cents. Oh, also SMT: Devil Survivor




I loved The World Ends with You. The many tactical RPG's are also great.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Are remakes really the majority of the DS JRPGs? Plus I have already played TWEWY.

 

Sands of Destruction should keep me busy for a while though since it is from the Xenogears guys and the battle system is almost exactly the same.

SMT: Devil Survivor and World Ends With You are by far the best; they also, oddly enough, are kind of similar in a lot of superficial ways.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

I almost forgot about SMT! Thanks guys. I would also try Suikoden Tierkreis but Suikoden is for noobs, especially Suikoden II.


Is Suikoden Tierkreis play like Suikoden II, III, etc... or is it strategy?

It's a standard JRPG like II, III, etc, though the battle system is a bit different
