      This is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I feel like the RH remake really affected the game's art direction and overall atmosphere in a negative way :( In an attempt to appeal to a broader audience, those things were really watered down imo. Which sucks because that was one of my favorite things about the game :(
      No clue about Devil Survivor though. I haven't had a chance to play it yet but it looks neat.

    My picks would probably be:
    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time (No game has yet managed to reach the emotional landslide that this one was for me. I laughed, I cried and I cheered. This is the one that defined my love for video games.)
    Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (This is the game that led to my love of customization and collecting . I loved going out and collecting all the outfits and items and really making my character my own)
    Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (If it wasn't for this game, I never would have started playing SRPGs. The story was great and the gameplay was excellent. One of the best)
    Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver (Possibly the pinnacle of the Pokémon series, everything about these games was just right. Some of the other games got some things better, but only HG and SS got everything right)
    Rune Factory 3 (I love the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series, but sometimes the gameplay gets real slow with nothing to do for In-Game days while waiting for crops to grow. In Rune Factory, I was never bored. I was on my 5th playthrough by the time I lost my copy.)
    Chrono Trigger (This is one of the all time greatest RPGs, if not the greatest. I have never put so much time in a game. I had to have played this game for thousands of hours.)
    These are the big ones, there's probably more but these are the ones that have stuck with me to this day. They are so good, that I still include them in my Top 20 today.

      @@MrTimelord77 You are aware that Echoes of Time allowed you to individually create your teammates, right? You didn't actually have to recruit anybody, just pick race and gender then presto, instant teammate. It was basically a modified form of Ring of Fates' multiplayer mode. I know, because I played both. Chelinka made me cry in Fates and the ending was technically a happy one, but it just left me unsatisfied. Like, all the struggles Yuri had gone through were for naught, because they never happened. It was a bit jarring.
      Meanwhile in Echoes, the consequences of your journey were clearly shown in the end, both good and bad. And while there was no starting over because the villagers had long since been dead, there was maybe a chance to start anew.

    So many good RPGs on the DS! It must be partly due to the concurrent x360 and Ps3 lacking interest in them. I'd love to see HD remasters of:
    1. Dragon Quest IX (WITH the Multiplayer intact)
    2. Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light (WITH the multiplayer intact again)
    3. Mario & Luigi Partners in Time (sadly with the recent bankruptcy of AlphaDream this seems difficult...)

    I just feel like I don't have enough time to get into video games anymore...
    It's not that I don't enjoy them anymore, I just don't like being interrupted or being forced to stop playing them indefinitely and be forced to start the game over again because I don't remember what happened in the story when I finally get back to the game again.
    It frustrates me how I can never finish the games I start playing, so I've ended up just not starting them in the first place. It makes me sad...but it's the only solution I've come up with...so far.

    Sooo thrilled to see both 358/2 Days and TWEWY on the list!! 358/2 Days was the first game I ever played(alone with FF4- I played them both at once and both will always be special to me. Still my fave FF, even now!) and TWEWY I played when I was 12. I owe so much to that game and it's characters- really got me through abuse and bullying and forced me to actually see people COULD be good. It made me give life another shot and anytime I need that reminder I boot up my DS(or my switch but the ds is my personal preference!)

    I totally agree with Devil Survivor and it's narrative being superb, I even recommend it to non smt fans, especially If you're into strong narrative driven mangas or novels. It starts out feeling like a simple adventure, like the first episodes of Digimon Adventure, were the Protagonist, allthough being afraid and/or homesick sometimes, almost seemed to have fun on this exciting new trip and the mysteries to uncover and the strange creatures, but after the first third Devil Survivor really picks up with a more serious tone, giving you a lot of difficult choices in old SMT fashion.

    Would recommend the Rune Factory franchise, there are three gamed on DS, two on Wii (one of those also on PS3), one on 3DS, a port of the 3DS one waiting for a release date on the switch and another one in production for the switch (provisionally called Rune Factory 5 for now). They are rpg with farming and dating sim elements (you can have children, in one of them you can even play as said children), quite unique and a really nice atmosphere

      Thing is that the Dungeon series is more of a Dungeon Crawler than just an RPG as the list suggests. Don't get me wrong, though. They also have RPG elements, but I only mean they are more inclined to the Crawler genre.

    Also, it sort of concerns me for my order that no one seems to mention the romance in Code Vein outside of a few old reviews. I heard it wasn't all too different than Rune Factory style and got excited.

      Such an underappreciated game. Better than a number of the 'core' Suikoden games. Unfortunately because it's set in a different world than the main series and its story is a bit more youth-appealing, it gets overlooked by fans. But the music is nice, backgrounds are gorgeous, and the storyline has some interesting conceits.
