Top Ten Must Have Nintendo 3DS RPGs

[@ghostwolfx]

What a beast! This is legit 2 hours before I go to pick up my New 3DS XL, and RPG's are my favorite genre, I swear you always have this insane timing for me :P

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Haha it’s fate! Enjoy your new console mate 🙂

[@thepunkkingkingofthederps7686]

Hope you love it. The 3ds is my favorite system to be honest. Love the timing. Also, I have Persona Q2, Shin Megami Tensei 4 (and it's sequal, SMT 4 Apocalypse), and Etrian Odyssey 2, Fanfir Night (I know it wasn't a part o the video, but same series). They are all games I recommend to you

[@ghostwolfx]

@@thatvideogamesshow It's extra funny because you did the same thing with a Vita must have game list not long ago just after I picked up my slim :D It's legit so funny how it happened twice, and for two consoles that most people see as "dead" these days too so most people arent making videos anymore

[@ghostwolfx]

@@thepunkkingkingofthederps7686 thanks :D I think the 3D is super underrated on this thing, it really sets it apart from other systems and I think gives it long life

[@thepunkkingkingofthederps7686]

One tip for bravely default. Go for the fastest ending first, then watch the true ending on KZbin, then play bravely second after. I won't spoil too much outside of that this is the best way to avoid repetitive tedium and still finish the game with a pleasant aftertaste.

so funny how Atlus supported the 3DS heavily and haven't supported the Switch at all

[@tr1bes]

Switch is still new, so they have to be conservative. They are diversify to many platforms. Remember Atlus was on Sony majority of the time.

[@lnsflare1]

To be fair, a lot of the Atlus games on the 3DS were expanded ports of DS games, and the Switch doesn't have dual screens so porting 3DS games to it would be trickier. Meanwhile, they did port Tokyo Moorage Sessions from the WiiU (which technically did have dual screens, but the WiiU was probably closer to the Switch in terms of hardware/programming), is guessing interest on releasing Persona 5 on it, and is going to be releasing both Persona 5 Scramble and Shin Megami Tensei 5 on it. I think that they've also ported Catherine: Full Body onto it in other regions, or have at least put up some copyrights indicating that they are planning to do so.

[@Vulcanfaux]

I'd go with etrian odyssey nexus or untold 1 the millenial girl. Nexus is a celebration of the whole series so far with classes from all 5 previous main games plus 2 extra, and many labyrinths from across the series. While untold 1 is a remake of the original that's pretty well done and includes a story mode that gives you a premade party if you dont wanna make your own party for your first playthrough, the story mode is also pretty decent. It's not dragon quest or any other rpg that focuses hardcore on story, but it's well enough to help you get an even better feel for the world and some character motivations if you want that. But classism is the better way to play that one, again if you dont mind making your own party from scratch.

[@gustavo33413]

[@enfieldjohn101]

Dragon Quest games are quite fun and are in some ways, equal to, or even sometimes superior to their better known rival Final Fantasy. I love that Dragon Quest sticks to its turn-based first-person view battle system throughout the series whereas Final Fantasy has experimented with all sorts of battle systems, none of which are as much fun as the original system. One thing that Final Fantasy games, especially 1 and 2, have over Dragon Quest is the cool magic system. If Dragon Quest had a magic system like that, it would be superior to FF in every way. Bravely Default is visually amazing and it's cool to see Final Fantasy style turn-based combat in a new story world. Fire Emblem has a lot of good games for the system. I love the tactical combat system. One of the best made. The new ones like Awakening are nice because they make use of the 3D feature and have modern graphics without giving up the combat system that is the heart of the game. The option to play 'casual' mode is good because it makes the game more accessible to people who aren't already fans of the series.

[@tillow9511]

I think final fantasy’s charm comes from the constant evolution of its gameplay. Final fantasy also has more thought provoking and interesting stories in my opinion. It also has a lot of charm. There’s a reason FF is the most popular jrpg after Pokémon
