I fell in love with Radiant Historia almost immediately. It's one of my favorite RPGs that I've played this millennium.

[BigmanDogs]

Nintendo DS might honestly be one of the best consoles ever made. Surely the most underrated game library. It allowed for so many niche games to come to fruition before the age of indie games truly took hold.

[ArbiterLibera]

Never heard about Nostalgia so that's definitely something to check out. As usual, your Top 10 lists are easily the best in the JRPG community because you seemingly really *have* played everything under the sun and you speak from extensive experience as a result. Much appreciated.

[jacobgill]

Glad to see a Rune Factory game make the list!

[superpppants]

Since the 3DS is pretty much done
Why not make a top 10 3DS RPGs

[perturbedsun]

I’m a simple man: I see a new RPG Best of List from David, I watch, I buy the top three.

[Emitremmus]

"I had that kind of time when I was 15, but now I'm 37!" Literally to the age the situation I find myself in, which has lead to a shelf full of RPG's that is growing at an exponentially faster rate than I can keep up with.

[gustavgurke]

Dragon quest 9 is my all time favorite game on the DS, I absolutely adore that game

[DeniosTheGamer]

most of the DS RPGs I've played are in fact ports and remakes :D
Dragon Quest IX however is one of my favorite games of all time. It introduced me to Dragon Quest and turn-based JRPGs in general and I dearly love it for that.

[robertbauer]

Yeah, we definitely need a Radiant Historia 2, same timetraveling concept, but a new world. This game is one of the better RPG's I have ever played.

[michaeltz]

Must play games:Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 1&2.Radiant Historia is one the best jrpgs ever for me and with Strange Journey, DQIX, Devil Survivor 1&2, The World End With You the main reason to own a ds(or 3ds).Also both Zelda games are great too.

[guigogantz]

Suikoden Tierkreis is far my favorite NDS RPG game.

[DHeritor]

I’ve got another that may be missed.

7th Dragon. Sure, it has an Etrian Odyssey-ish or old DQ battle system where you can’t see your units bobbling while taking turns but this game balances fun and challenge because the random encounters are so drastically different compared to the bosses. That and certain class synergies across the board and (this is a personal one) tickles the inner weeb because it has _cat girls_

well, not exactly but they’re half-breeds.

Also, Sands of Destruction. It’s fun, the combo system is super satisfying and provides decent hours of gameplay because you’d want to complete the game 100%.

[TheInverseable]

The real best part of radiant historia is how competent stock is so everything that happens isn’t progressed by bullshit.

[koteshima]

The World Ends With You was amazing.

The music, the gameplay, the bond and difference of gameplay with your partner on the top screen, it was just so good.

Did I mention the music was awesome too?

[monken]

I absolutely love valkyrie profile covenant of the plume. The story and combat are so good to me. Being able to combo and being required to get an overkill in certain places really appealed to me.

[franciscobutte]

Love your channel, same age here, (37) and i felt identified with your taste. I don't like dungeon crawlers or harvest RPG either, well, maybe because something you said. Time.
I rather play some RPGs that have great battle system combined with a great story. I'm looking for some retro games that i missed back in the day and there's a lot to dig in.
