    Good DS RPGs?

    Haven't had my DSi XL long but i've already finished DQV, IX and Rhapsody. I'm playing them when i'm on the excersise bike for a two hours a day and it kills the time greatly. Just looking for suggestions of others i might not have played in the past or current. I did finish DQIV when i had a light.

    Thanks

    The World Ends With You is probably the best RPG on the system but it's probably too stylus intensive to play on an exercise bike.

    Final Fantasy III and IV are good, as is Chrono Trigger.

    Shin Megami Devil Survivor is a great SRPG, SMT: Strange Journey is a great dungeon crawler. They're both among the most difficult RPGs on the console though.

    Kingdom Hearts 358/2 is fairly neat but you're probably only going to appriciate it if you've either played KH2 or KH1 and KH:CoM

    Luminous Arc 1 and 2 are fairly under-rated SRPGs. Not mind blowing but light hearted and fun.

    Suikoden: Tierkreis is pretty good, interesting story, great music and production values. Only prevented from being a classic by being far too easy and the comical veryfastvoiceactingandyoudontknowifyoudonttry.

      POKéMANS.

      You could probably use the Pokéwalker on your bike, too, so BONUS!

        The best RPG on the system is by far Bowsers Inside Story.

          Final Fantasy Tactics and either Zelda are excellent as well.

            That game bored the crap out of me like no Mario RPG game ever has done before.

            Unless you count Super Paper Mario.

              You play DS while riding an excersize bike? maybe Im just uncordinated but I'd break about 2 DS's a week if I did that.

                Tales of Hearts
                Endless Frontier (although the sequel is better)

                  I quite liked Izuna and Izuna 2, and I think both can be played without using the stylus so they're probably well suited to exercise bike play.

                    The Etrian Odyssey series is good, but bloody hard! Never has a game frustrated me so much, yet, not being able to put down!

                    A game im currently playing is Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar. Not an RPG in the traditional sense, but it certainly is more than just a farm sim. Its actually a really good game, and kinda reminds me of the PS1 game - Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, which is good.

                      My thoughts exactly. Christ, I absolutely batter the bike in the gym and there is no way I could play a DS on it. I do sometimes read a paper but even then it ends up as paper mache with the sweat dripping all over it.

                        The World Ends With You - one of the best games on the system IMO, regardless of genre. As pointed out, it's a bit taxing on the co-ordination front though given that you're meant to be paying attention to and taking actions in relation to both screens in battle. Fingers crossed the added complication of cycling at the same time doesn't result in your body just shutting down and you ****ting yourself.

                          Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (Good stuff)
                          Fire Emblem (If your a fan on the series)
                          Orcs & Elves (Action FPS/RPG that is really good)
                          Summon Night Twin Age
                          Nostalgia (Nice skies of Arcadia clone)
                          Front Mission (Great port of the SNES and PSOne versions)
                          Blue Dragon Plus
                          Final Fantasy 12: RW (Nice strat RPG)
                          Lunar Genesis (Not great)
                          Rhapsody (PS1 port with a different combat system)
                          Megaman Starforce 1 & 2
                          Dragon Quest 4, 5, 9 & Joker
                          Hpshigami (PSOne port, not great)
                          Deep Labyrinth (Dungeon RPG not as good as Etrian Odyssey)
                          Phantasy Star Zero
                          Rondo of Swords
                          Heroes of Mana & Children of Mana
                          Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume

                          Lot of great USA and JP RPG's as well.

                          Also give a second vote to the great, The World Ends With You & Luminous Arc.

                            Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer is an awesome rogue alike definitely worth a punt and quite cheap.

                              Legacy of Ys (Book 1 & 2) is also a nice RPG for the DS.
