Top 10 Best 3DS JRPGs Vs My Favorites

[@BlazeEmerald]

My shoutouts for 3DS RPGs you didn't mention: - Stella Glow, a turn based RPG which I just really enjoy - the Etrian Odyssey series, I do enjoy first person dungeon crawlers, and this series is how I learned that - 7th Dragon III: Code VFD, a turn based RPG that just nailed the presentation for me

[@QueenViolet8]

Loved 7th Dragon wish they would remake it for the switch or just port it over as well as All the Etrian games and the SMT games 😎

[@aregar1]

Never finished SMT 4??? Terrible pacing??? I'm shocked bro. SMT 4 is a gem. The difficulty is what makes it so memorable

[@RinaShinomiyaVal]

? How? SMT4 is the easiest mainline title.

[@oldmanjesus9855]

@@RinaShinomiyaVal The Apocalypse version yes, but the original SMT IV is one of the hardest in the series. I don't agree that the appeal of the game is in its difficulty but the game is definitely not one of the easier ones.

[@ltb1345]

1. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux 2. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D 3. Devil Survivor Overclocked 4. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology 5. Fire Emblem Echoes 6. Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker 7. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse 8. Shin Megami Tensei IV 9. Persona Q (might rise higher on the list; haven't beat it yet) 10. Pokemon Omega Ruby (only Pokemon game I've ever beaten, but I really enjoyed it)

[@ph8808]

Bro try Pokémon black 2/white 2. It has an actual story and is a fair bit harder than the rest of the games It’s a DS game though

[@fishingmule3266]

I’m 40 hours in, and it’s getting so tiresome to keep going. Between trying to manage jobs and job points and constantly running back across the map to stay at an inn to refill my MP, this game is just downright tedious. I like a lot of what it brings to the table, but it gets annoying.

[@KramerJones]

Sorry g, kinda mid but I liked what I played of 2

[@henrys9971]

Really good concept for a KZbin video. Please do more of these!

[@felipe.b.felicio]

You missed SMT Strange Journey REDUX and all the 5 main Etrian Odyssey games on the 3DS (1 Etrian mistery dungeon and 2 Persona Q). My favorites, so far.

[@PuffZombie]

Well, Erick don't like dungeon crawlers, so you rarely see games of this genre in his top's, even good ones. :)

[@ltb1345]

Agreed, SJR is my favorite 3DS JRPG ever made, not counting Xenoblade 3D.

[@guccidonbuzzflightyear4440]

God damn I need to finish Devil Survivor

[@JaredScott]

Pokémon Sun/Moon definitely should not be in any list. It was a step down from X/Y especially with the mixed bag of designs. Z moves weren’t that great compared to Mega Evolutions either

[@qnybucks]

it's on top 10 lists because it's pokemon. that's it. easy name recognition to put on a top 10 list that takes up space for actually good games.

[@calvinmatthews1527]

I've played most of these RPGs and of all of them were bangers! I have to say, dude, you have a serious hard-on for the Shin Megami Tensei Series.

[@HollowRick]

I mean who doesn't? Especially nowadays lol it was way more niche 20 years ago when nocturne came out on the ps2 for example

[@zafraanmohammed3506]

I tried Radiant Historic many times but dropped it always

[@realavt]

Mario is not a straight port - it has completely remade visuals, just compare screenshots of original and 3DS remake emaster.

[@toptiertonye3691]

I love project crossing one of my favorite strategy, role-play games ever such a great game more of it just give me more and I also love radiant Historia just throwback to role-play games so good

[@alexmorpheus6762]

I found Devil Survivor 2 better than the first Devil Survivor. Almost everything was improved the sequel and 3DS remasters doubled them.

[@soledezruiz2860]

Let me guess. You like these because they're " dark and mature" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lol me writing this and the first one is mario and luigi... hahaha yup love the franchise!! But still "dark and mature"!!! Love your videos!!!

Играю во второй Devil Survivor сейчас, сильно ли он хуже первой части?

[@TragicArchAngel]

Bravely Default slander 🙀

[@Inwers]

sadly, radiant historia is miss for PAL region, so can't tell it any good. monster hunter 4 ultimate is a last best oldstyle monster hunter game, with somewhat balanced weapons and old nice sets of mechanics I miss so much in new MonHuns.

[@orenges]

Air rich, do you like River City/Kunio-Kun series?

[@D3sdinova]

Streetgangs and river city tokyo rumble were great, but theyre just the same game. Youd be fine playing either of them, i dont have a preference.

When it comes to the Pokemon games, I would have put sun and moon higher than X and Y. And as for the FE games, I would have put Shadows higher than Awakening. Ya, I like Radiant Historia and Alliance Alive but I never got to finishing them. I like the SMT games but wish that they weren't so brutal from the start. I wanna check out Soul Hackers now

3DS JRPG time

[@thaipankatima658]

For me. Shin megami apocalypse, Devil survivor overclocked, Fire Emblem, and Etrian odyssey (Don't care which)

[@Aenashi]

I got to say both lists were not bad at all.

[@ZER0lPT]

Weird for me seeing Echoes and not Fates. Echoes while being really good and having a much better story than the other 3DS FE it doesn't have the replayability of Awakening and Fates.

[@HernasRoom]

I like Echoes but it has some of the worst gameplay in the series. Maps are hardly maps, and you can easily break the game if you want to. No replay value, whatsoever. That said... it has Celica!

[@ZER0lPT]

@@HernasRoom Celica has a good design but as a character she is just boring imo. Alm is the better of the two by a mile away.

[@HernasRoom]

@@ZER0lPT Definitely, but I guess that's because of her past. She just looks absolutely stunning in the remake. And she's *very* strong...

I think Erick cares more about story than gameplay when it comes to FE.

[@ravellxivrobinson4979]

I got nearly 60 hrs into Bravely Default. Great experience. I just can't beat this dragon boss. Just gave up. Also, have Project X Zone... stuck on ghost and goblins stage. Update: solid video, have most games on the list. Great Job!

[@D2sha]

I'm a huge fun of Monster Hunter 4U. But what MH doing in JRPG lists?) It is not JRPG at all. MH have only few elements of RPG-genre, just like Zelda.

[@rl2233]

9:17 Bro never played the best game on 3DS

[@ctownsoldier]

u played the wrong monster hunters 😂 mh4u is arguably the best one. For you though, monster hunter world would be a better start. Oh ya for 3ds, mh4u is my top, 2nd Pokemon sun/moon, 3rd SMT IV.

[@RageGS]

Most of these games have political agendas lmao y'know the thing you don't like

[@arturboy777]

I'm anti-woke too, but I agree that simply calling it "politics" is a dumb non-argument, and that politics can make for some really good stories.

@@arturboy777 political themes exist everywhere in everything It's just natural in modern society We argue to hash out our ideals and conflict is how we evolve as people And that's a lot of themes in great JRPGs

[@chasesmay7237]

I loved all the smt games on the ds/3ds from strange journey to devil survivor 1&2 to smt4 & apocalypse to soul hackers. The Etrian games are at the top of my list as well (3&5 being my favorites) Radiant Historia and ff tactics a2 are up there as well, as are all the FE games. Those handheld tactics games and dungeon crawlers just felt great to play

[@ivanbluecool]

Top 3ds games list. Project x zone deserves another shot on current consoles. It's so much fun and mixes grind and clicking at the right moment compared to most games i rather not touch fe awakening fates as gameplay is still fire. Echoes is the definition of overated i still can play it but it felt half baked until the grima map. Tales of the abyss as it still has one of the best stories around and cast/sub missions that actually work compared to many fetch quest games. Pokemon is a free spsce i enjoyed the 3ds era of games. Codename steam since that gameplay style deserves more love Kirby triple star delux was a blast to play again after so long. Can't find any highschool based game that interesting. Never saw the appeal of pretending it was the makw or break for people especially as an adult

[@therealjaystone2344]

It suxks how project x zone will never be ported because of copyright issues and the studio went bankrupt

[@ivanbluecool]

@@therealjaystone2344 or get a sequel that really goes into a giant cast. I love theses games and would have enjoyed more. I still got my games so I can play them anytime but it's very underated.

[@redscience2117]

Saying Echoes is half baked compared to Fates is a crazy take

[@ltb1345]

I've always found Echoes to be by far the most underrated modern FE game. Everyone always just talks about Awakening, Fates, Three Houses and Engage.

[@therealjaystone2344]

@@ltb1345 lol engage was less talked about and so will holy war remake

[@EugeneKurlikin]

Finish SMT 4. It’s the best game in the series. Apocalypse is a disaster of a story.

[@arturboy777]

The consensus list just goes to show how much of a bunch of posers content creators and publications are. The Mario and Luigi remakes were massive failures that nobody played because the Switch was already out, which is why Nintendo shut the studio down. The Xenoblade port, another game nobody played. Same with the Dragon Quest Ports. All those games are being rated based on the reputation of the original. Bravely Default is a game lots of people played but hardly anyone finished. Monster Hunter is not an RPG. The Pokemon games on the 3DS weren't as good as to have two different ones in the same top 10. They should've had at least one Etrian Odyssey game, a staple series of the 3DS. Fantasy Life gets praised a lot, but for some reason they don't put it on lists.

[@ltb1345]

I agree, except for the Xenoblade part. A lot of us hopped on the Xeno series from Xenoblade 3D!

[@D3sdinova]

Im at the part where you keep looping around in bravely default, so just before the end. But i stoped playing like a year ago, and it sucks jumping back into a game at the very end. I will finish it one of these days, and move on to the other 2 games on 3DS. Does anyone know if you can import save files from both games to bravely second though? Or do you have to import from the first game to the second and then to bravely second?

[@eatereater6312]

Project X zone is SUPER underrated

[@JulieFalcom]

I played only the Definitive version of Xenoblade Chronicles, but even then I loved Devil Survivor 2 much more. It's my favourite 3DS game. It's basically Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei, two franchises with phenomenal gameplay for me. I also like it a lot more than 1 for having more variety in their missions and also the maps overall feel a bit fairer than in the first game. I hope so much that this series will get a third game in the future because it absolutely deserves one!

[@MissNeonNyx]

I definitely agree with your list entirely over the "media" list. As much as I have enjoyed Pokemon through the years, I don't feel any of the 3DS games belong on a top 20 even. GBA, maybe, but none after that. The only of Pokemon I would have argued are the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire. Remakes... I ended up buying copies of SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked and Record Breaker because of the praise you had given them. They are awesome, and rightfully deserve to be on a top 10.

[@jaden149]

played devil survivor overclocked 2 years ago its a amazing game hard to say if i would say its better then awakening mainly since that was my first fire emblem and without it i would not have gone back to the older games in said series well both are great games i think any fan of jrpgs should play

This video comes at the perfect time for me, I only got a 3DS this year and the last couple of days I was looking to get some jrpgs for it 😅
