Couldn't really think of a better title. Anyway, here's a list of upcoming DS rpgs that may be of interest:


World Destruction



World Destruction is a game designed by key members of the Xenogears team, most notably Masato Kato (director), Yasunori Mitsuda (composer) and Kunihiko Tanaka (character designer). Former staff from Grandia, Drakengard and Etrian Odyssey are also working on the game.
World Destruction is set in a world where humans are a minority, often used as slaves by beastmen.  The story revolves around a young man, Kyrie, who possesses immense destructive powers even though he does not know why, who ends up traveling with a woman named Morte, who happens to be part of the World Destruction Committee.

AWAY ~Tsuresarareta Hitobito~



AWAY is a rather unique looking game being developed by both Mistwalker and Artoon. The story involves a curse called "Away", which causes a person to mysteriously vanish from a village each year.

Tales of Hearts



Yep, another Tales of game. I'm not much of a Tales fan, but I'm thinking this is the first time that they've used non-anime character models, well at least for CG cutscenes. The battle shots look pretty good though.

Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One



When I first heard of the Accused One, I thought it would be a Lenneth-esque game for the PSP. Turns out it's for the DS. The protagonist is a young soldier named Wylfred who holds a grudge against Lenneth Valkyrie. Lenneth chose Wylfred's father, Thyodor, to become an Einherjar, taking his soul into her possession when Wylfred was a mere ten years old. Years pass and the young man's anger grows, until he is offered the Goddess's Feather, a feather shed from Lenneth's wings that was found near the corpse of his father, by Hel, the Queen of Niflheim. By becoming a renowned warrior like his father, he believes he can eventually be chosen to become an Einherjar himself, giving him the means with which to exact his vengeance.

Soma Bringer



Soma Bringer is game created by Monolith Soft after being acquired by Nintendo featuring music by Yasunori Mitsuda.  The player's party consists of three members. Combat is in real time and takes place on the same map as exploration (a similar combat system to Secret of Mana, although magical attacks are also in real-time). It's already been released in Japan, and it's unsure when or whether it will be available in the west.

Out of all of these, the game I'm looking forward to the most is World Destruction, even though it features bizarre elements, like a pirate teddy-bear as party member. 

I hope World Destruction is good and I also hope I get to play it someday if it is.

Tales of Hearts.......they name a game Tales of Hearts? TALES OF MOTHER FUCKING HEARTS?! Anyway, it looks decent but bandai namco must be running out of names. Whats next, Tales of Swords?!
Edit: Oh yea, if they bring this to america, we would be ripped off probably because the other DS tales game(tales of innocence, not tales of the tempest because that was shit) looks far superior and it is stupid that its not coming here due to christianity refrences in the game's story and im dead serious about that!

I hear soma bringer is really fun to play. It's probably one of the closest games that plays like diablo 2 for the ds. However, there is no signs of it coming to north america ​.

This Valkyrie Profile's story does seem toned down to possibly aim for a younger demographic but the gameplay looks decent

No one's interested in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood?  Or is this a fantasy-themed-rpg only topic...

dragon quest 4.......

Actually, I created this topic to showcase DS rpgs which haven't been getting much attention. That's the reason I didn't include Sonic and Dragon Quest IX. I was thinking about adding more games, including the Dragon Quest DS remakes.
