I tried DQ 6, but didn't like it. I already have M&L: Bowser's Inside Story and Partners In Time, and no pokemon for me. Got any recommendations?

(I don't see a recommendations sticky either)

What didn't you like about DQVI? DQIX is a pretty standard JRPG but there are some new features like monsters that roam around the field so you can choose what you fight, no more random encounters... Also try Chrono trigger and Final fantsy IV.

And if you're looking for something really unique, radiant Historia or Knigths in the Nightmare. both great.

Dragon Quest IX is pretty great, as it's typical JRPG affair but removes a lot of annoying things about JRPGs -- i.e. you can basically save wherever you want, you still get all the EXP you gained even if you die, the classes and upgrading system isn't too complicated, etc. Chrono Trigger is also definitely a must play, it's one of the best JRPGs of all time. The World Ends With You was amazing as well.

Throwing in my recommendations for Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest IX, Radiant Historia, Rune Factory, The World Ends With You, Ys: Books I & II.
I don't know what put you off the Dragon Quest game you played but at least give DQIX a try, it's a phenomenal game.

Suikoden: Tierkries, definitely. FF4 DS is pretty great. I'm about to start a file on Sands of Destruction, so I don't know how good (or bad) that one is yet.

Sands of Destruction was a great game in my view but it does get to a point where all of you characters can become overpowered. There's animated cutscenes similar to Suikoden so you might enjoy it.
