There is something remarkably unique about jRPGs on the Nintendo DS. They transport me to the chillest state of mind ever, as if I was a kid again, playing games without any worry in the world.
Do you feel that way as well?
Anyways, this era of gaming is really interesting to me, because we were transitioning from niche-hobby thing to bigger-than-cinema kind of deal, so we could afford games that were created with true passion, while experimentation was the rule of the game (no pun intended), instead of mindless generic games for the masses or triple As that tried to be revolutionary, but were just dumbed-down.
Radiant Historia shows an interesting take on the time-traveling trope, portraying more adult characters involved in a very political plot. The character design, music, and graphics scream 2000s bliss and it is a definitive time capsule of that era.
If you like some twist and strategy in your jRPG combat, a good story with some exploring to do, but with little to no grinding to be able to progress through the story, look no further.
