Re: DS and Advance RPG

does DS mean dungeon siege?

for some awesome D&D games, look for Baldur's Gate 2, or Neverwinter Nights. Diablo is also hailed as one of the best.
If you want a massive online multiplayer rpg, try World of Warcraft. I personally don't touch it though, as it's rumoured to be addictive and drain on finances

Re: DS and Advance RPG

Well, I've just started playing Children of Mana for the DS this week, but I think I'm going to take it back. It's nice enough but it's a very repetitive dungeon-crawler and the spell system doesn't sit well with me.
Final Fantasy III is around but I haven't tried that.
I really don't think there's much RPG action for the DS yet, which is odd but maybe they're struggling to find a way to use the Multiplayer functionality for it?
Shame really, because you'd think that something like a low-budget MMORPG would make a killing on this handheld.

Re: DS and Advance RPG

Well, Legend of Zelda:Phantom Hourglass & Hotel Dusk: Room 215 both come out on 1 March and sound interesting, so it maybe worth hanging fire till then as both appear good.

Re: DS and Advance RPG

Well, see for yourself.
But it appears to be a mystery story like Broken Sword.

Re: DS and Advance RPG

The gameboy advance, while a great system with decent potential, suffers from an amazing lack of quailty games, especially good rpgs. Still, looking through my GBA directory, my top picks are:

- Final Fantasy 1 & 2 - Dawn of Souls: While normally, I'm iffy about remakes, this one is great if you liked the first Final Fantasy, because it cleaned up nearly all of the annoyances and gameplay problems in the game's previous incarnations.

- Sword of Mana: A good remake of the very first mana game (Final Fantasy Adventure) that, just like with Dawn of Souls, really cleans the game up.

- Other: I suppose you could grab Zelda: Minish Cap if you are fanatic about the Zelda series. (I haven't played it much, so don't know if it's good or bad yet) I have several people recommending Zone of the Enders to me, but I've never been keen on space-based fantasy. Lastly, Tactics Ogre - Knight of Lodis and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance might be worth looking into if you enjoy tactical rpgs. The Golden Sun series (1 & 2) are something else I have people recommending to me.

All these games are rotting on my HD, I need to play them.

For the DS, the only one I can vouch for is FF III. It's an amazingly well-done remake.

Re: DS and Advance RPG

A bit late but welcome to the forum fluff. I hope u r enjoying ur time here.

As for a good RPG game, Zelda is good, & so is FF, but that u must already know. Anime type games - Naruto is good, & I hear that the new one - Naruto Ninja Council 3, would be quite a game, so sth to look forward to...

Another one is Pokemon - Keeps me busy for hours!!!

Re: DS and Advance RPG

Thanks Aes for your info!

Zelda is what I always wanted to play but never liked the character...made me not to buy Zelda for that reason but if it is good, I will have a look one of the Zelda you recommended!!

FF Tactic Advance - I want to buy it for definate! if the price is reasonable on secondhand.... tight budget... and when I get DS, FFIII is my first game!!

Hi! destruction! Welcome!! I am pretty new as well and love RPG games! what games have you played?

And, Thank you dane78 for your welcome! Is Naruto good? I only read a comic book. I like the character of Naruto! I like Gaara...
