I was disapointed when Devil Survivor and Valkyrie Profile turnred out to be SRPG's, I hate that grid thing, although I did enjoy these two. I just wish there was more action RPG'S in the mold of say Soma Bringer or Avalon Code, I get so sick of running into random battles where everything stops then it's choose attack, wait to be hit then go again.

@Private Parts: Yes, I mean Turn Based Strategy games. I used to make RPGs in the RMXP/VX community, so our nomenclature may vary. Final Fantasy is turn based, but it's an active engine where the enemy can move if you don't, hence ATBS. Ya know?

Anywho, I agree in part. Not enough good SRPGs, and definitely not enough real RPGs that are original in concept and design. Contact would be one of those original RPGs that came from scratch.

Yeah, I used to make RPGs back in the day with RPG Maker 2000. I loved that stuff.

Mmm, I agree with what you say. Early FFs were completely turnbased, but then they made it a Active Battle Sytem or whatever.

Yeah, they do need some new original RPGs. I myself also prefer the Action RPGs, and I also did the same thing with Laharl.

Trying to level up the others at the moment, I'm not actually that far in as I find it difficult to immerse myself in handheld titles.

i find the one for DS is too easy
doesn't provide the challenge

syko5150,
they can do whatever they want with MARIO
but not making a game title with SMRPG

LOL

contradicting right?

the only thing i hated about SMRPG was the fact they had a lvl 30 cap -__-

but i still think they should make another Mario RPG like the one Squaresoft did nothing against all the Paper Mario/M&L games but SMRPG was a lot better and more of a challenge(not that it was hard).

I was slightly disappointed at Valkyrie Profile. Kinda liked the original game where you ran around and got a random battle. i did enjoy Devil Survivor's mix of grid and turn base.

preference differs on every person. in this case, gamers.

A game you like very much could get a different reception to others. and vise-versa.
We should just be thankful that there are alot of RPGs for the DS.
If you think one is a waste of time, then just move to the next.
 
Games could be bad no matter whether SRPGs, Action RPGs or Turn Based RPG's.
I personally prefer turn based, not to say I don't like the others. DS DO have a good sum of those though, unlike the trend that is in home consoles where they are very far from common anymore, more action RPG's there these days...

But would say DS has a fair amount of all three.
