Pretty sure more should be on that list, Did you forget 2 Mario & luigi rpg games, and paper mario? Also where is final fantasy? And I'm sure there is a lot more, like Conception II children of the seven stars, Project X zone, and if monster hunter can even be called a rpg, what about fantasy life Xenoblade chonicles 3DS TALES OF THE ABYSS! PERSONA! @Chary would be so mad. :ninja:

Seriously there is TONS of rpg games on 3ds, this list probably just shows how one think how little 3ds rpg games exist on the system. Yes not all are that good, but it should least be acknowledged. (Where is my phantasy star 5 Or beyond oasis 3 game sega. Just gonna be stuck playing Gotta protectors. :ninja: )

Gurumin 3D! Seriously, though, I've gotten mostly bored with most RPGs, so it's hard to sell me on them anymore.

Seems like many different RPGs placed in the same bag, there's Tactical RPG, Mystery Dungeon, Dungeon Crawlers, Turn Based ones, hard to choose a best from so different genres.

While it's understandable not every game is listed, I'm shocked there's no mention of the Mario & Luigi series as they're pretty famous RPGs.

I personally think the best is SMT4/A. They were unique and very interesting.
I can't vote for Pokemon in good conscience, there's almost nothing new or interesting from game to game. Even as a huge dragon quest fan, I don't think they are the best rpgs on the 3ds. I can see FE being a favorite but I can't get into them, despite my love for strategy rpgs. Xenoblade is pretty boring for 85% of the game and even when it was interesting it was kingdom hearts level of stupidity.

Must say, after just having finished "Echoes" and just starting the "Fates" Gay Hack... this is just 3-ish games under that same banner, which is why it must win from the other titles in the list... this is just Ninty at its best. Fire Emblem was what got me clinging to my GBA years back, and now it draws me right back to my 3DS no matter how I love Breath of the Wild too.

Never cared about Pokemon though beyond Ultra Violet and Ash Gray, so I can't really compare.

No Bravely Default? mildly upset
The last half of the game was absolute Garbage.
"Hey, lets just reuse the same bosses over and over again and not make it have any sense."
"Sir, that's great and all, but..... what if...... We made them do it 4 times......"
"You are getting a promotion"

Although i still loved the game :creep:
The combat system was unique and fun

I mean, I won't disagree that the last part was meh. But I loved the game nonetheless, it was the Final Fantasy 3 that the 3DS deserved.
