Board 8 > What games am I missing out on for 3DS (preferably RPGs)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I bought a new SD card for some reason. It was to store games, then I realized there are no games I'm interested in that I don't already have.

Games I have:
Pokemons
Fire Emblems
Zeldas

Since playing Persona 5 recently, I feel like there may be RPGs on the 3DS that I would like as well, but I have no idea what I'm looking for.
---

Bravely Default
---

Shin Megami Tensei IV & Apocalypse
SMT Devil Survivor 1 & 2 (if you didn't play them on DS)
Fantasy Life
Stella Glow
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
---

Dragon Quest VII, VIII (also IV, V, VI, IX if you're including DS games)
Tales of the Abyss
Mario and Luigi games
Bravely Default
---

Picross

3D and the E series. Pokemon Picross is good too, if you don't mind paying 30 bux to bypass the free-to-play bullshit
---

Etrian Odyssey and the Persona-flavored EO, Persona Q

I've only played EO4 but it was very good
---

Uh, okay well let's pretend I can only buy like one or two games so which of those is the best
---

To clarify, I really like Persona 5 but I've never been much a fan of general JRPGs. The style and ease of combat is what I like, the story is not so important.
---

there's demos for all of the eo games and you can transfer the save to the final version so you can see which one hou like best.

anyway it isn't an rpg, but Culdcept Revolt.
---

If story isn't a big deal for you, I strongly recommend Bravely Default. It's fun and oozes its own kinda-unique style. I also recommend Dragon Quest 7 or 8. Both for similar reasons (although I prefer their stories to BD's).
---

Oh, uh. The SMT games are similar-ish to Persona (using demons, fusing, turn-based), but generally harder.

Fantasy Life would have the ease of combat you might like, and it oozes charm.

Theatryhthm has a demo, though not much of one. It's just for if you happen to like FF music and/or rhythm games.

Stella Glow is a strategy RPG. Battles aren't that difficult, though there are a few spikes. Kinda slow, but surprisingly good story and characters.
---

Dragon Quest games all you need
---

Tales of the Abyss is the best one, but if you're not a story person Bravely Default and Dragon Quest may be more up your alley.
---

I'll third Tales of the Abyss
---

I really loved Bravely Default and Devil Survivor. Both have pretty fun gameplay, though BD's probably better.
---

TWEWY isn't 3DS, but get it anyway.
---

Dragon Quest.
---

I'm thinking I might get Dragon Quest

Should I play 7 first or can I just skip to 8
---

You can definitely skip to 8 if you wish; they're unrelated and 8 has probably a better reception overall
---

Just what I wanted to hear, I'll get 8 then

Thank you for all the suggestions my dears
---

You're quite welcome darl
---

Yeah, the Dragon Quest games can be played in any order. 1-3 and 4-6 are loosely connected (I think it's worth playing 1-3 in order if you planned to play all of them; 4-6 it doesn't really matter at all), but there's no need otherwise.

7's my favorite game of all time, but it's a bit divisive due to the slow pacing. 8 is also great and is more universally praised so it's a pretty safe bet.

Rune Factory 4!!
