If you weren’t into the first Yo-Kai Watch then you might want to try the third one. It’s better in every single way with the most notable improvement being the battle system. Also, Super Mystery Dungeon story gets insanely good if you can stick through it long enough to reach the second half, but I can understand why that’s too much of an ask.

I definitely agree on DQ8. I haven't played much on 3DS or PS2, but it always felt much more grand and epic on a console, and I guess it also applies to the US version vs the JP version.. From the orchestral music, the stylized menus, even the HP ticking down when you take damage, it just made it feel so much more special to me. Yeah, it's missing a lot of QoL and refinements, but it has a certain magic on PS2 that it doesn't on 3DS.

What's sad is the 3DS version should be the definitive version because it has additional content and playable characters, but has censored outfits and lacks the orchestral soundtrack because the composer Koichi Sugiyama was being a very difficult person. There is a DQ8 for 3DS rom floating around called DQ8 Restored which adds the orchestrated soundtrack, reverses the censored outfits, but unfortunately also removes the English dub. If it had the English voice acting it'd be perfect imo. I wish we could get a true Dragon Quest 8 release for PC with all of the options available and quality of life features. Dragon Quest 11 had a very active modding community

Etrian is a series for people who love specifically rpg combat. For a self motivated kind of person willing to optimize a team of very complex classes while going through grueling dungeons where a tough enemy formating is tougher than a boss in ff and a boss is tougher than that.

So many reviews…NICE 👍🏼 Liked and subscribed! 🤘🏼

Good video, but you forgot to rank Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Brave Dungeon.

SMT Strange Journey REDUX is clearly S tier to me. And etrian untold 1 and 2 are A. Etrian 4 5 and nexus should be B. Put Etrian series in C is clearly the choice of someone that never really played any of these games.

The entire world (playable characters and NPCs) is populated by the Miis on your 3DS. It has a class based system, and dungeons follow branching lines (no going backwards).

From people that actually enjoy Dungeon Crawlers what are your thoughts on Unchained Blades?

17:49 Regarding Fossil Fighters Frontier, it's literally the Banjo Kazooie, Nuts and Bolts of the Franchise. The first two games are absolute bangers and I recommend trying them out. They take the Pokemon Formula, but have completely different gameplay and battle systems to make them unique, plus are more story driven then what Pokemon was doing in Gen 4, I would argue with people saying how Gen 5 is very story drive, it learned from games like Fossil Fighters. The First Fossil Fighters game had a more cohesive story from beginning to end, while the second game had a slower burn to the story, but nicer payoffs. The big thing that made Fossil Fighters Frontier a bad game, was that it overhauled the gameplay in every aspect for the worse. Actually a bit off topic, but when I youtube searched "Fossil Fighters Frontier", I got like 3 videos in a row saying it's a terrible game. Most likely since the third game was under different developers then the first two. Do not use Frontiers as a look into the franchise. It barely plays like the last two games, The Vivosaurs, the Characters, everything is too radically different and unfun. Fun Fact, did you know the developers of the original 5 Sakura Wars worked on the first two Fossil Fighters. Puts things into perspective.

I just played Bravely Second. I love this Duology, but it allows you to skip random encounters which kind of ruins the progression, even if it makes the game more casually accessible. It also just reuses a lot from the first game so it's not suuuuper necessary to play if you were on the fence imo (though the new classes/MCs are fun). And for some reason the second half of the game is prone to crashing for some reason, it makes me save-anxious and I hate it. Besides that, Fire Emblem Conquest, Rune Factory 4, and SMT Devil Survivor are my favorites of the 3DS games, and some are of my favorite games of all time

What character is in the thumbnail from which game?

I like this :D Thou i would probably personally have put Devil Survivor 2 below 1, mostly because the story and characters in 2 are a downgrade on all levels :( There is some changes between the games, but honestly the missions in 2 are still subject to annoyance, and also, i cannot defend the massive abuse of full map attacking bosses that gets thrown at you in 2. People go on about the mistletoe boss in 1, but 2 has the EXACT same thing, just with added almost mapwide attack. Not a big fan of the heavy use of unique demons either, making upfusing a chore to deal with.

What about Xenoblade Chronicles 3D?

how the hell the garbage Project X zone games are in S but you have DQ 8 in B along with Bravely Default? SMT IV and Strange journey too? Monster hunter in C tier? Trash list.
