I need fun DS games

I'm an RPG kind of guy. Newish RPGs for the NDS would be great. What are your suggestions?

@nickachu06: Did ya play any of the other Disgaeas?

@MetallicStar: You're So Zetta Slow![/quote]

Nope. I might get Disgaea 2 DHD if I get a psp. And maybe Prinny CIRBTH and Prinny 2 OPD.
They need to make more Disgaea games for the DS.

[quote=malapo]Dragon Quest IX is one of the best. I just loved the character customization. Your equips actually show on the character and even in the cut scenes.
TWEWY is also a good one if you haven't played it yet.
And the Mario & Luigi series are pretty unique RPGs (something like Paper Mario)[/quote]

TWEWY is "The World Ends With You"
Awesome gameplay, but the story is HELLA UP IN DAT(ghetto)
the story is An Extripuculalte of Enunciated Pwnage With Fortified Ingredients of Owned Saucers(nerdy)

@BoSonova: Well that sucks. But that's why having an extra is good :I
Btw, did you find the easter egg in Etna mode? It involves going back to a boss stage and finding a certain "ultimate zombie" there...

@KolakCC: Omg A2! I forgot about that :o
I stopped playing after getting everyone on my team to lv99 (except for Penelo and Al-Cid. got bored trAining them, and I really hate looking at Al-Cid all the time.)

@ the seeq dissing conversation: Training a seeq is lame, too. Getting one to lv99 made me stop playing A2.

The World Ends with You
Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light

MUST GET: Disgaea DS <---even after finishing the storyline, you might want to play 100+ hours more to unlock extra stuff and get secret stuff.
120 hours and still not even halfway through with my goals. Has a unique storyline, too!
funny dialogs,too
And has unique game mechanics that no other games has, such as:
Max level: 9999 (NOT a typo. Yes, Nine thousand, nine hundred ninety nine.)
Deal over a million damage
Dark assembly (have to have people vote to do stuff or make custom characters)
Bribing senators
Geo panels to enhance battling
Leveling up items via item world, randomly generated dungeons inside an item
Extra maps
Secret characters
and other stuff.

[quote=Bellaluna]I'd say Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks, but I'm not a big fan of them. I love Zelda games usually, but they just weren't my favorite. [/quote]

I wouldn't say the LoZ games are exactly RPG
Any Dragon Quest game that is numbered is good, namely DQIV, V and VI.
The latest one is DQIX, the storyline is a bit eh, but the customisation is rather fun.

[quote=codypwnsu2]I like Mario, it's just I'm not crazy about it. I already have Super Mario 64 on my DS, that's all I need. XD

Is this game any good? [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_BbPhrSGzE]Etrian Odyssey: The Drowned City[/url]

And I'll get to looking at all those games.

EDIT: Lol, you recommended Etrian Odyssey. [/quote]
I actually haven't heard of that one yet. But it looks MAJOR cool. Although in a way its just your typical anime RPG

[quote=MidoriMagira]If you aren't a fan of Mario (GASP!) I don't know if you'll like Magical Starsign alot or not. It's a bit like Mario in it's childishness and sense of humor, but different otherwise. But you're looking for something new...so...
Sadly, other than Pokemon there isn't anything relatively new in RPGs that's good.[/quote]

[quote=codypwnsu2]I have all generic Pokemon games (the colored versions, but I'm hoping to try out Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs to see how those are), so that's out of the question. XD

Not really into Mario (don't shoot me). Magical Starsign I can look into. I'm into underrated game, since I have a few that I love! :> I still enjoy a few games I got years ago.[/quote]

EDIT: Magical Starsign is really old. x.x I need newer games since this is for a Christmas list and my family will most likely be buying new games you can find on shelves.

[quote=Ztarfish]ATB just sucks. I don't see how they look similar at all. DQ uses fully turn based battles so that you can use actual strategy while ATB forces you to mash buttons.

If you're talking about FFX though, I guess it's quite similar, but FFX is extremely dissimilar to most FF games.
And even still, in FFX you pick individual actions and they perform them immediately, in DQ you pick the actions of all your characters before they act them out, forcing you to use strategy.[/quote]

Well I played only 1 FF and it was on my DS. I don't remember what it was because I lost it. :s

If they made a game like this, I'd never have to play another: [url=http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l94i6gif6w1qbe7n1o1_400.jpg];-;[/url]
And yeah, I heard about that game coming out. I might get it too.

[quote=Ztarfish]Dragon Quest gameplay is miles different (and better) than FF.[/quote]

It looks similar to me. I mean the battle system. I couldn't find anything that didn't show battles. If you'd like to help out why not show me why it's better instead of just saying why?

And that tumblr was probably the most helpful. I can't see the profil3 links. :S Nothing shows up at them.

@Above: People think Neopets is fun. I'm sure people can consider FF fun. But please help me out instead of pointlessly bashing games.

No joke, I was just looking that up on YouTube. I am just not sure if I'd like the gameplay. Although, it kinda reminds me of final fantasy style gameplay, and I had a FF game for my DS before and played it through and enjoyed it. I might give it a shot.
