The best? There's only 2 right now, Tales of the Abyss and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, OoT is an Adventure game not an RPG. So to answer your question I'd say Shin Megami Tensei is the best right now, I don't like the Tales games much and that's the only other choice :P

Probably Tales of the Abyss for me. Tried Devil Survivor once and thought it was annoying.

Most games have bosses, that doesn't make them all part RPG.

The bosses are the RPG elements.

The dungeons are the RPG elements, lol. Also there being a mana bar, somewhat of a skill/item progression... and there being safe haven towns and NPC interactions... all these can be viewed as RPG elements... though I will agree of course that it isn't an RPG.

Tales of the Abyss. Just play it with the 3D off, lol. I have never played Devil Survivor Overclocked, so I really can't comment on it.

I have played the two RPG's on the 3DS and i have to say that Abyss is a little better than Shin Devil. Simply cause the ending of Shin went all over the place for me. It had me going then it got to out of hand... so yeah

OoT3d, oreven maybe devil survivor overclosked, as I never got to play the first one in 2009. Post what you think is the best all around RPG for the 3DS!

I'm getting tired of people calling Zelda an RPG. It's not an RPG, it's an Action Adventure. Anyway, not counting that it's Tales of the Abyss.

Lol yeah, I think its the dungeons and overworld that confuse people.

I'd go with Tales, its a little slow starting but once it does its really fun

I'm guessing if something has a fantasy setting, people automatically confuse it as an RPG.

This, Zeldas aren't RPG's. Metroids (3D and sidescrollers) are more of an rpg than them. CoD is more of an rpg than Zelda. Swords don't make rpg's, dungeons don't make rpg's, and bosses don't make rpg's. Stat progression is the major defining feature. Devil Survivor is freaking awesome though. No 3D pissed me off so much though. Its that or Tales of Abyss for retail 3DS rpgs.

Tales of Abyss, but I like Overclocked more because atleast they added content.
