I am looking for non-turn based comfy RPGs that I can play on my 3ds or anything it can emulate

I guess "action rpg" is the name?

Zelda games are good examples but I played them all
>>
Terranigma is great past the intro chapter
>>
Final Fantasy Adventure

I hate to say it, but there's genuinely nothing that's going to be like Zelda and gives you that level of quality and style of gameplay outside of Zelda.

Tales of the Abyss is maybe the closest thing to what you want, but I haven't played it.

Crystalis(SNK) and willow(Capcom) on NES are both excellent.
They did a better job of adding rpg elements than zelda 2 did.

zelda has never been an rpg. it's an action adventure.
>>
>>11987456
But it's a game series that does most of the stuff RPGs *should* be doing far better than they do.

Community Pom is a PSX game but it plays well on 3DS
Others:
>Brave Prove (PSX but also emulates well)
>Ganpuru
>Brain Lord
>Crusader of Centy
>Beyond Oasis

That's not true, the Ys games are Zelda-esque (yes I know they're very different but same feeling) and they're really high quality. All the old bump Ys games emulate well on 3DS.

If we can have an Android chinkheld thread we can have a 3DS retro emulation thread

I played and finished Willow. It's an excellent game with a story, atmosphere and feel that stay with you years after you've finished the game.
>>
>>11987419
tales of the abyss is the only action rpg on 3ds and the ps2 version is better anyway.

Capcom made excellent rpgs in the 80s and 90s. They were just really comfy and hard to describe what made them that way.

>comfy RPGs
That's where Zelda is unique. It has that whole "aimed at kids without talking down at you" thing. Only other game that does that so well, is pokemon imo
There's a ton of 4th Gen ARPGs plus Alundra which are Zelda like but not as soft
Also you'd probably like Threads of Fate, MegaMan Legends and Kingdom Hearts
>>
Golden Axe Warriors for SMS, Crusaders of Centy for Genesis, Terranigma for SNES, Alundra 2 for PS1, Megaman Legends for N64

Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore for SNES are very chill, the later even more so.
>>
>>11988113
What's a game where you don't play a role?
>>
>>11988154
eehhrrmmm.... tetris?

>>11988180
>not roleplaying as a rapist I block as you stick your entire body into blocks and make tetrises

All the Mana games are peak comfy. I wish I had the time to sit around and grind for pointless crafting ingredients for hours like the good old days.
>>
>>11987419
Sword of Mana GBA
>>
>>11987419
Blazer series, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma

3DS is 240p. DS and 3DS are the last true retro platforms ever made.
