    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.

      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 :(

    1. Dragon Quest IX (WITH the Multiplayer intact)

    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.

    This list makes me want to dive into the DS library again even more than I already wanted to...
    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.
    I guess it's even more incentive to work harder to be able to eventually get more time in my life to catch up on what I've been missing out on all of these years....

    The Etrian Odyssey series started on the DS, and Eterian Odyssey 2 is my number #1 game I feel is missing a spot on this list.
    I would put SMT Devil Survivor in the SRPG category, and put SMT Stange Journey in its place instead.
    I loved Golden Suns on the GBA, but felt Dark Dawn was mismanaged and ended poorly.

    Final Fantasy Tactics A2
    Pokémon Conquest
    Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
    Disgaea DS
    Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix
    And of course SMT Devil Survivor, SMT Strange Journey, and Radiant Historia all had 3DS ports.
