Help, I'm a huge indecisive faggot who can't do anything by himself. I need you to sell me the 3DS with a single game. The absolute best you can come up with.
I'm not into Pokemon, but I do like RPGs, whatever is story-driven.
>buy a console you idiot
Nah, I'm looking for a portable.

Monster Hunter you gaylord
Rune Factory 4
Harvest moon farming and sim mechanics, with dungeon crawling and crafting. Hard mode is actually hard.
I got 300 hours on it and haven't even finished the post game material. I have more 3ds games now, but I used to refer to my 3ds as my rf4 machine, because that was it's only use for over a year.
Anything Atlus, they're the only reason I have mine.
Etrian Odyssey is great.
FE Awakening or just wait for Fates.

Fire Emblem Awakening.
Huge cast of colorful characters and a pretty amazing strategy game underneath. Game is at least 20-30 hours, plus optional challenges and DLC.

I could go with these. How's Bravely Default?

I actually played Awakening very briefly a few moths ago on a friend's 3DS, I didn't like the weapon mechanics that much, but I can give it another chance.

Had it. Didn't stick with it.
Kid Icarus Uprising
You can feed an army with that game

I agree with this. RF4 is the perfect blend of simulation-y stuff and RPG stuff with the option to focus on one or the other if you wish

This is what kept me playing it for so long. I had the freedom to come up with big farming projects, and I'd totally forget that I had quests and dungeons to get through. In hard mode it becomes a necessity to tool up after almost every dungeon, making use of the crafting system that dips it's fingers in every other aspect of the game. Bouncing back and forth between different these different styles feels seamless and natural.
And I was legitimately surprised by the amount of dialogue in the game. Hundreds of hours into the game and I was still seeing new scenes and interactions between the townsfolk and myself.
