Any suggestions for 3DS RPGs? SRPGs are welcome too.I already have all of Atlus' stuff and have played all the Super Robot Wars, Etrian Odyssey and Fire Emblem games on it. I also actually have a bunch of games that I bought that I never got round to playing, anything here that's particularly better than the others?-Soul Hackers-Radiant Historia-Stella Glow-Seventh Dragon 2020I also have the original Seventh Dragon (DS) and the PSP ones but I've never got round to playing them.
Soul Hackers definitely.Bravely DefaultMario and Luigi: Dream TeamShin Megami Tensei IVAlso Digimon World Re:Digitize and Denpamen 2 if you can get the custom firmware on it, which you definitely should do to give you the most options for games outside of just 3ds
>>3652572*Just to clarify Re:Digitize is a physical game, but it is in jp. You can download the translated ver with the custom firmware
>>3652560>-Seventh Dragon 2020I think that's one of the psp games, bro.I'm playing 7th Dragon III Code VFD on my 3ds right now and am 44 hours deep and having a lot of fun.The funny thing is... your list is what I also plan to play once I finish this game. Currently leaning toward Radiant Historia being my next game.
>>3652584>7th Dragon III Code VFDYeah that's the one I haveI bought all of the games a couple of years back but never got round to playing them
If you know nip then metal max 4
>>3652589Nice. You can't go wrong with any of them, I imagine.7th Dragon's soundtrack is ballin'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSxKU8KfJ7s>>3652594I'll have to push this one up higher on my backlog list; looks good.
>>3652594jesus christ
>>3652560You can play Gurumin on the 3ds.

>>3652560Too bad all 3DS emulators are kill ×_×
>>3652560>Stella GlowDogshit game, unironically. Don't play it.Do play the Etrian Odyssey games. Untold is great but don't do the pre-assembled party story if you want the true experience.
>>3652810agreed on Stella Glow, so dull I dropped it after a couple hours>>3652560Highly recommend Radiant Historia, and some of the other games already mentioned in the thread like Bravely Default or everything here >>3652719
>>3652560The 3DS is when Nintendo consoles started to become bad. Honestly there is not a single game on it I would play over the thousands of PC RPGs. A lot of people who grew up with this device are unfortunately mentally stunted.
>>3652827Bait used to be believable.
>>3652829I own every Nintendo console from the nes to the switch excluding the virtual boy and wii u, and I am quite serious. The 3DS is terrible and has no stand out games. This is when I started to get really dissapointed in Nintendo. Dunno if I will buy the switch 2 because it has been similiarly bad.
>>3652719>Project X Zone>Project X Zone 2Remove Xiaomu
>>3652810If you want the “true experience” you just play the actual original games.
>>3652719Addendum: I left off stuff other people already mentioned (Bravely Default and Bravely Second, for example). And I left off stuff that got ported off of the 3DS and is now available elsewhere (Legend of Legacy, Alliance Alive, Monster Hunter Stories, etc)
>>3652832>The 3DS is terrible and has no stand out gamesThe monster hunter games alone are worth it.And kid icarus uprising is amazing.
>>3652832While 3DS library is somewhat thin and spotty compared to the original, it can play both DS and Gameboy games natively, making it the single best handheld to actually own in my opinion. I cannot think of another handheld with such a huge library without having to resort to emulation, which will always have it's flaws.
>>3653682Vita has the entire PSP and PS1 libraries so they’re pretty close imo
>>3653757Vita is fucking incredible compared to the 3DS lmao
>>3653359>And kid icarus uprising is amazing.Posts like this really put into perspective how sheltered and incredibly retarded people here are.
>>3653208Explain to me using your own words why the original is better than Untold.
>>3653767I didn’t say anything about either being “better”, and I couldn’t even tell you about that seeing as I’ve only played the original anyway. I’m aware that even ignoring the story mode, Untold changes a lot of things, like the dungeon layouts, skills, new classes, new mechanics and so on.
>>3653766What a surprise, a child redditor has no other reponse other than "you are retarded".
>>3653757Does it actually play PS1 natively, or is it just ports and/or emulation?
>>3652573>>3652572The 3ds version with added content is ReDigitize Decode not just redigitize
How's devil survivor record breaker?
>>3654109>Devil SurvivorNot if it was the last game on earth
>>3654109Not as good as Overclocked.
>>3654109Can't polish a turd, son. Just stick with Overclocked or the original Devil Survivor (original is better)>>3653827>Untold changes a lot of things, like the dungeon layouts, skills, new classes, new mechanics and so on.All good changes that improve the game.
>>3654316>All good changes that improve the game.Nothing to do with being the “true experience”.
>>3654316Jesus this is some awful taste
>>3654109Don't listen to these faggots >>3654119>>3654316Record breaker isn't quite as good as OC but it's still a pretty good game.
>>3654109Lighter in tone than the first game despite having more party members you can intentionally kill off.The end of day bosses are retarded compared to the Bels. Places emphasis on building rapport with your party members, but as a result you can joint crack skills and get access to specific fusions.On the other hand, the boss fights themselves usually have some sort of gimmick other than exploit elemental weakness dance with all your demons and the roster of demons is larger. You still have a character's hand up your ass dictating your plan of action until the last day like a muppet same as the first game, but this one gives you the option to kill them eventually, so that's mildly cathartic. Honestly, killing everyone I didn't like was nice. Obviously you don't get their fusions if they're dead but fuck'em NG+ exists for a reason.Overall I'd say on its own merit it's a fine game, but when I compare it to the first game I'd rather play it, even if it does have Midori and letting Haru suicide like the dumb bitch she is cripples your ending choices.Actually, I take that back. Fuck the first game, go play Record Breaker.
>>3654030Native. You convert the iso files to eboot files, and they just work. The PSP uses the MIPS architecture that the PS1 uses, and the Vita's PSP backwards compatibility mode is just like running them on a PSP. It is similar to using a Wii U to play GameCube games in Wii backwards compatibility mode through Nintendon't. It's not emulation, it is native support.
>>3654357Huh, I genuinely didn't know that. How's the performance, does it ever chug with graphically intensive games? I might have to actually amend my original statement and lower the 3DS to the second-best handheld to own with this, though it's hard to compare. DS and 3DS beat the PSP and Vita libraries hands down, but PS1 has the second-best game library of all time. I guess it might come down how well the actual console feels to play on, and on that I can't say since I haven't owned a Vita.
>>3654443Can’t speak for the Lite model as I’ve never tried it out, but the OLED Vita feels amazing to play. Fantastic buttons and the best screen of any handheld. Only downside, if you want to play PS1 games, is the lack of a second shoulder button, but for turn-based games it doesn’t matter too much, you can remap them to an analog input.
What's wrong with Record Breaker?
>>3654633Compared to vanilla 2 I mean, I liked vanilla 2 but never played the 3DS version
>>3654635Nothing, we’re talking about DeSu 1 vs DeSu 2, not vanilla 2 vs RB. The 3DS versions are straight improvements over the originals.
Are any of these 3ds exclusive rpgs fairly short (~20hrs or less)?
>>3652560
>>3654739Game series not being together is triggering my autism
>>3654661I know the Devil Survivor games are pretty short, and if you're playing Overclocked you're functionally forced into not taking any free battles. Strange Journey is also pretty short.
>>3654846Based on howlongtobeat averages for main story:Devil Survior Overclocked is around 42 hoursStrange Journey Redux is 48 hoursFinal Fantasy Explorers is at 23 hoursIf this thread is still up later in the week, I'll report back with a summary of more games mentioned in this thread; I've got a busy early week with work.
>>3655060>Devil Survior Overclocked is around 42 hoursIt took me about half that to get through the first route and then it took me another ten hours to complete all the routes.
>>3654739>jrpg>zelda games>monster hunter
>>3654739a lot of these are not rpgs but nice try
>>3655130You didn’t “complete” anything, voice skipper.
How's dragon quest vii? Should I play it or etrian v?
>>3653766I love my 3DS as a sperg in high-school.
>>3655226I'm willing to bet money on the fact that you either didn't play Devil Survivor or you played the dub.I played the undub and while I listened to the voices the game just isn't that long.
>>3657404I love DQ but its long and dull, play etrian v instead
>>3657454Is vii really that bad?
>>3657468It's slow and really long. I like the characters and the class system does open up and become cool 20+ hours in but it's among my least favorite dq games
>>3657468its my least favorite DQthe game is 90 hours of unconnected islands before the main plot gets going, and the cast is by far the weakestthe long adventure would be fun if the party was good, but you only get 4 party members, of which only 1 has any personality and shes just a cunt
>>3657474>>3657482Dang, I had heard decent stuff about it before but maybe I'll skip now.
>>3652560I ended up playing Devil Survivor OC. I did all the routes except for Naoya and Amane on the DS back in the day so I went with Naoya + the 8th day this time. This game really is great.Not being able to skip stuff you've seen before becomes a real fucking pain on NG+ though.
>>3658274>Not being able to skip stuff you've seen before becomes a real fucking pain on NG+ though.I'm 80% you can skip cutscenes by holding down one of the buttons.
>>3658663You can turn on a thing that makes messages go faster but you can't skip the entire thing and you can't skip other stuff like Metatron's annoying slow monologues, the credits, slow camera pans, etc. and the first 4 days or so are boring as hell on subsequent playthroughs.
>>3652560>Stella GlowKino story, kino music, mediocre gameplay, you should still play it because the witches songs are just THAT goodhttps://youtu.be/x15VDdbQe64?si=hln-PWGH8Yl7TPRd here's my favorite one, don't sleep on this one anon, you won't regret it
