    I remember when I used to play my GBA, that I was really engrossed in the story to the Fire Emblem games.  Generally, I pay little attention or care much.  Fire Emblem rose above the pack.  But what the DS games?


    Which story stood out the most?  Which made you read it all and actually pay attention?  What and why did you enjoy the story.  Share your opinion, as with some of the games I don't have, I may actually want to get it even more.  I may be missing something from a story of a game I have and will see it through different eyes.

    Ah man, this is a tough question. I havent played enough of these to make an informed choice, not to mention that you are missing a few that would have been front runners for me.

    I don't count Chrono Trigger as a DS title. It's a rerelease without any added DS features. The World Ends With You wins hands down for best DS RPG imo.

    @Ross:
    Exact same, can't say how excited I am for Golden Sun.  I'm super excited. Nevermind. Neways, Ring of Fates is least for me, I hated that game.  Good production values though.  I like spamming periods.  In sentences.

    Chrono Trigger for me, it's story is excellent.

    My choice has nothing to do with nostalgia.

    Pick other and tell your story man  :-)    I couldn't add every game.

    I went with The World Ends With you (I haven't played Chrono Trigger yet).  I liked the fact that we a had a good modern setting and story for a change.  Most RPG follows the same path and characters with minor changes.  Don't get me wron, I love all those stories, but TWEWY broke the mould and tried something different and did a bloody good job of it.

    I totally agree with you about Chrono Trigger.
    The best RPG on the NDS, imo, is The World Ends With You. A nreally awesome experience

    I haven't played Chrono Trigger yet, so I can only go with what I know.  I will have to say Dragon Quest V since it was epic and fun all the way through.  And funny, I can't forget to mention that, too.

    I think it was predictable that Chrono Trigger would win.  I haven't got it yet, but clearly it is a classic tale, well told.  What I am pleased about is the fact that The World Ends With You would do so well.  I personally hope that it ushers in a whole new style of storytelling and gameplay.  It hasn't happened yet as it is still out there on its own, but I can hope.
