Finally time to use this thread in reverse to ask for some recommendations.
Looking for $45 worth of JRPGs for the DS. About 2 years behind on stuff besides Golden Sun, so most ideas would work. Currently considering: Chrono Trigger (sure, it is another port, and most of you pirates could get it for free on any console, but I loved the game to the point of making various art and pearler bead sprites back in the day), Etrian Odyssey series, Dragon Quest series (borrowed and put 135 hours into DW7 as a comparison), Radiant Historia, Sands of Destruction, Avalon Code, and Contact. Keep in mind that I'll only be playing one at a time, so if there's likely to be a price drop in the next couple of months, I'll hold off on certain items. I can go up to $60 if I need to when including tax, but I'd prefer to save some. If there are any other genres that could be recommended over these, by all means go ahead; although I have kept up on the Layton series (I like it, but I can't recommend due to plot issues) and Phoenix Wright series.
Also, since it has been a while, adding these recommendations:
Overlord | Strategy/Action | PC
Sam & Max: Seasons 1 & 2 Complete Pack | Adventure | PC <-(Too lazy to type out all 11 games. Also, independently they kinda suck. Episode 4 of season one is free on steam if you wish to attempt the series, but there are a few plot points from prior games that get spoiled and characters you won't recognize.)
Will add more as I actually FINISH my collection.
