Seconding Fantasy Life, although itās more fun if you have friends either locally or online to play with. The story is kind of bare-bones, but the mechanics are amazingly fun <3
Animal Crossing is fun, but itās more of a time waster than a true RPG.
Bravely Default/Second are also amazing fun, highly recommending along with everyone else. x3
If youāre a fan of the Legend of Zelda series, then I would pick up a copy of A Link Between Worlds, too. Very refreshing, back-to-its-roots Zelda game.
One game that I havenāt seen anyone else recommend yet, which blows my mind, is Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Fire Emblem: Fates o.o So amazingly good. Highly recommend. <3
Kid Icarus: Uprising is really fun, especially if you enjoyed Kid Icarus back in the day. Itās no longer a platformer, though. Now, itās a full-fledged RPG with great gameplay and fun flying mechanics. Your hands will hurt after long playing sessions, due to the controls, though.
I must also mention the obligatory Pokemon, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Professor Layton games. Pokemon is an RPG, but the others are slightly less so, in my opinion. :3
If you enjoy Etrian Odyssey, they made an offshoot called Etrian Mystery Dungeon. Iām not sure where you stand on roguelikes, but itās a great amount of fun with some decent challenge to it. c:
But yeah, thatās all I can think of, off the top of my head~ Maybe we should all exchange friend codes or something at some point. <3
