Hey guys. I want my DS to keep soaking up my time as much as possible. Anyone know of any good JRPGs for it? WRPGs are scarce on it, but mention if you know any.

Look into Final Fantasy IV, The World Ends With You, and Chrono Trigger.

And Pokemon if you are that sort of person. Like me.

edit: NINJA'D!

As has been said, Chrono Trigger and FFIV are must-haves for JRPG fans. If you have a DS Phat or DS Lite, then get both Golden Sun's for the GBA, and enjoy on the DS.

I like etrian odyssey, but i'm warning you, unless you like level grinding, it can be a hard game.

No love for the Boktai series? :(

Gonna also have to back Kingdom Hearts when it comes out, as well as the World Ends With You. Lunar Knight is also a decent game.

I just finished TWEWY, and I must say...wow. Haven't had a gaming experience like that in a while.

The only ones I can think of that haven't been listed are Lost Magic and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

The World Ends With You, and Devil Survivor are probably the two best out there.

Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, and the various Final Fantasy titles are decent, but I do not recommend them if you are looking for games to play "on the go" because the save systems leave a bit to be desired. Dragon Quest in paticular even makes a point about being "true to the originals" in the spirit of the save points, which means that while a decent game if you want to sack out on your couch and play a classic on a tiny screen, it's not something you can say pull out to fiddle with in 30 minutes at a Doctor's Office or whatever. This is a common failing of many portable RPGs to be honest.

Truthfully it would have been nice if they had re-released the Dragon Quest games and such via things like PSN or XBL Arcade. I'd find them much more enjoyable if I could sit down and actually play them on a real console from a position where sitting there for a couple of hours at a time wouldn't be a big deal.


Such are my thoughts at least.

The World Ends With You. It's been mentioned several times for good reason.
Knights in the Knightmare. A very unique JRPG.
Devil Survivor continues the tradition of awesome Shin Megami Tensei games.
