Gaming Good RPG Games?

[jagviper]

Well i'm looking for a good RPG on either the NDS or GBA that kinda has the feel of a game like chrono trigger or secret of mana. Any suggestions aside from the obvious (children of mana which wasn't that good) would be great. On a side note, is Final Fantasy 3 on NDS any good? Thanks in advance

Havent playedd CT but played half of secret of mana, these games that I'm listed are not bad RPGs:

Magical Starsign,
Mario & Luigi : Partners in Time,
Final Fantasy III , XII : RW
Pokemon Ranger.

 

[jagviper]

Thanks, i've tried most of those to no avail (ffXII was pretty good), but im looking for a game more Final Fantasyish

FFIII was a good game, it's a remake of an NES game so it's a very traditional turn-based RPG. Kind of hard to know which games you have played or not, but how about Golden Sun?

Draglade was fun, but kinda short. There's also naruto path of ninja.

If you haven't played Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for the GBA I highly recommend it. I thought it was much better than Partners in Time.

Edit: Summon Night - Swordcraft Story is another great GBA RPG.

yep, i'll have to agree with golden sun. nice battle system, and nicer graphics for a GBA game. topnotch story FTW

 

[jalapeno]

wow,

no one meantioned Contact

Contact and FF III were are probably the best RPGs on nds

 

[IBNobody]

Golden Sun I and II.

 

[King Zargo]

Dragon Quest: Monster Joker
Pokemon games
Golden Sun 1 and 2

 

[ZPE]

Digimon World D/D!
Sonic Rush Adventure
Zelda PH?

Tbh, most NDS Rpgs are medicore stuff.

GBA had better RPGs than DS, I'd say. No Fire Emblem still? Geez...

 

[cutterjohn]

FF I & II Dawn of Souls GBA
FF III DS
FF IV-VI GBA, but IV is also coming out for DS
Breath of Fire 1 & 2 GBA
Lufia game GBA (forgotten the whole title)
Lunar game GBA (forgotten the whole title again, same as PSX version I think)
Megaman Battle Network game GBA (sort of RPGs)
Fire Emblem 1 & 2 GBA
Mazes of Fate GBA
Etrian Odyssey DS
Izuna Legend of the Unemployed Ninja DS

There are tons more, mostly GBA ATM, but these are the ones that I recall offhand.

So, are you looking for an ARPG or a turn-based RPG?

Really, the only decent ARPG's on the DS are Lunar Knights and Contact. And of course, Lunar Knights started with Boktai 1 and 2 on GBA.

The best turn based RPG on the DS is probably FFIII, soon to be replaced by FFIV. The (J) version is awesome and I can't even read it.

I think the best monster RPG is DQM:J by a long shot.

I guess I'm just confused what RPG sub-category you're looking for.

yep, the golden sun games for gba are a sure bet, also contact was pretty enjoyable.

and also, of course, you can always get snemulDS and play the actual games heh(CT and SoM), they run almost perfect.

Summon Night - Swordcraft Story was amazing.

Weapon crafting was cool, awsome choice of characters, I love the Tales of phantasia style battle system.

 

[jagviper]

Thanks for the suggestions

 

[Grimalkin]

I'd have to second Summon Night - Swordcraft story. Both 1 and 2 were pretty good and similar to the Tales... series.

Dragon Quest IV english patched> All other DS RPGs

 

[Kaos]

Megaman Battle Network series is a pretty good Action RPG series.

With the 6 games, if you do everything you can in them you'll easily have over 200 hours of gaming on your hands.
