    So, I got my 3DS and need some solid RPG's. I have played most of the good DS and want something on this system just to be a cooler person. I know there is the Tals game (which i am highly considering having never played a tales game) and SMT Devil Survivor but I played that the first time around and although I enjoyed it I assume there are better games to play instead.

    Also what can I expect RPG wise for 2013? Besides Pokemon X and Y

    Well I would say Paper Mario Sticker Star. That game is very enjoyable.

    the best rpg out is a downloadable game THE "DENPA" MEN: They Came By Wave its only 10$ and it has a lot of content and its a great old school turn based rpg, devil survivor is great game buts its a very lazy port, i haven't had a chance to play unchained blades or crimson shroud but i plan to at one point, as for best coming out i think its ether fire emblem they are always great games or Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers atlus always makes great games and this is the first time that soul hackers will be coming out of japan.

    I am probably like 7ish hours into ToA and so far I am not enjoying it as much as ToS and ToV. I also recently got Paper Mario Sticker Star, so I will try that out soon. THe best will be Bravely Default I think.

    Tales of Abyss, Devil Survivor : Overclocked, and Kingdom Hearts.

    The new Pokemon is technically an RPG.

    sadly atlus just took the ds version of the game added in one more day to the story to give a few more hours of gameplay but without changing how the game is set up there is no 3d in it besides when fusing demons together, but its still a great game if you haven't played the ds version and it can be cheap out there.

    The higher res and voice acting make it better. Overclocked is the way to go.

    It's okay but the framerate drops are aggravating and it's practically unplayable online.

    Tales of the Abyss and Paper Mario are pretty awesome. Devil Survivor Overclocked I assume is great, but I've only played the original on the DS. Pokemon X/Y, Fire Emblem, and the new Shin Megami Tensei should all be quite stellar as well.

    you can't go wrong with Devil Survivor Overclocked in my opinion... that game is just awesome. I also really enjoyed KH 3D but then again i am a KH fanboy so don't trust me. Code of Princess was entertaining but i felt like it got boring quickly, which isnt good for a game with major RPG elements. I've just recently started Paper Mario and i can tell its going to be a blast.
