If the DS were to be the recipient next game in any existing RPG series, what would you want that to be? And before you rush for the comments form, let's make you think a little bit by eliminating the obvious Nintendo-fan answer: we assume everyone wants Mother, so think of something else!

There are rumours of a Persona on the PSP.
There are also rumours that Etrian Odyssey was a test run for the system that would become Persona DS, though that's REALLY hard to swallow.
But Persona PSP seems plausible. In the mean time, Persona 4 is coming out in December on the PS2. Are you pumped? I am.

As so completely not in the position to buy a PSP right now as I am, portable Persona would demand that I still buy one. To be honest, I'm glad that it's still just a rumor.
I am, however, BEYOND psyched about Persona 4. I'm so glad it's coming out in December and not another month because that's the only month for the rest of the year that doesn't have a DS game releasing that I'm interested in. It will eat my entire Christmas break.

I think Persona could work on the DS. Zelda did the cell shading thing just fine ... or they could do what they did to Xenosaga ... and I agree with the others, bring that one stateside too.

Yes yes yes...Mana would be awesome. I'd love to see it on XBLA too. : )

How about some new IP? I'd love to play an RPG that didn't have a number attached to it. Something new, or at least slightly new. And NOT developed by Nintendo, either.
Preferably Level-5 would do this. I love those guys.

It's already been done. And there is still a high level of probability that it's going to suck. Though I want desperately for Dark Brotherhood to be amazingly awesome, I'm not getting my hopes up.

There's a high probability that it will be awesome, too. BioWare is developing it, and from what I've heard about them, they don't make crap games.

Well, technically BioWare is the developer, but they actually formed a new studio to do the development. I'm not sure how many actual BioWare core/original members are part of this new handheld group. But as they are providing oversight, hopefully it won't suck.

Mother Trilogy. I know you said it was too obvious of an answer, but I don't care. I want them.

A new Lunar with the quality of the original games and a translation rivaling Working Designs'.
Barring that, a new Mana game with Legend's gorgeous watercolors would be outstanding.
I also wouldn't say no to a new Square-made Super Mario RPG.
For the record, I couldn't care less about Mother. Mildly fun, but ridiculously overrated.

Atelier Iris. Heck, they can probably just use the sprites they already have and make a new game since the game was 2D to begin with.
Oh, and Dark Cloud too. :)

I fully approve of this choice.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who's played this game. (or even heard of the Atelier games).

Shenmue!!!! j/k
But seriously I've always wanted to see a new single player Ultima game, and if they could do it on the DS that would be awesome (Richard Garriot make more Ultima!).
