Bravely Second. Dragon Quest VIII. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. Naming a single best is too hard.

Yes. The new classes make better use of the game's battle system and the story doesn't involve you doing the same task five times. It's a very solid JRPG.

Also, the demo for Etrian Odyssey 5, the full game is a month away but's it's shaping up to be great.

Nah. Both are good. Default's second half is terrible but they're both still good games

I think Dragon Quest VIII. Maybe Abyss after that.
I love the Final Fantasy games. I despise the fanbase.

Tales of the Abyss

this it was originally on the playstation though so if your looking for a brand new 3ds rpg DO NOT pick bravely default, pick something else.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D as long as you have one of the New 3DS.

I dunno, I'm playing through it right now and I'm not really feeling it. For starters, it's one of the worst-looking games on the system. They needed to give it a graphical overhaul similar to Hyrule Warriors and Smash Bros, with more vibrant colors and some cel-shading. Right now it's a muddy mess, which can actually be a problem during combat. Aside from that I still don't really see what the draw is. Kinda wish I hadn't downloaded the soundtrack because the track list is riddled with spoilers. Worst track naming ever.

Anyway, a game that I definitely do wholeheartedly recommend is Dragon Quest VIII. It was already a colorful cel-shaded game on the PS2, so it actually translates great to the 3DSes small screen. If we're counting ports, it's the best RPG on the system as far as I'm concerned.

And because no one has mentioned it yet, 7th Dragon III is a great dungeon crawler.

TC, the 3DS has a good variety of RPG sub-genres, so which do you want one of?

More classic JRPG's, with turn-based combat or with something else?

Dungeon RPG's, like Etrian Odyssey and the like?

SRPG's, stuff like the Fire Emblem games?

ARPG's, stuff like Xenoblade Chronicles (if you have a New 3DS system)?

There's not just one RPG to rule them all. LOL. Not when there are enough different sub-genres on the system.
To the mattresses.

Xenoblade Chronicles was never known for it's graphics.

Xenoblade's strong points are it's cast / music and story. And I enjoyed it's hybrid tactical-action battle system.

my picks;

Shin Megami Tensei Soul Hackers, Xenoblade Chronicles, Tales of the Abyss, Dragon Quest 7 (8 is also okay--but i liked 7 far more), and Monster Hunter Stories. in no particular ordering.
(7th Dragon is also fun)

if into the Mystery Dungeon types--i'd suggest some of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games--they're fun despite simpler nature and RNG of typical roguelikes. :)

Devil Survivor games are also fun

This. It also depends on what kind of RPG you like.

If you like old school turn based RPGs, Bravely and DQ games are nice choices
If you prefer action RPGs, Tales of the Abyss is awesome.
If you like monster collector, Pokemon, Yo-Kai Watch and SMT4 (and SMT4A) are obvious choices.

I prefer IV, VI, VII and VIII all over V. I do think V is highly overrated. A good game nontheless.

Still there's almost not a bad DQ out there.

IX is kinda meh though.

"7th Dragon code VFD"

I just didn't like the game very much, that's all. I specially dislike JRPGs/dungeon crawlers with 1st person camera combat (which this game avoids to an extent).

lol another vote for Rune Factory 4 here. I was fully expecting some sort of Animal Crossing "clone" but it turned out to be a really great game in its own right. And has a lot more content too.
If you had a Japanese 3ds I would have said dragon quest xi but it's region locked. 

I would say ever oasis, monster hunter or dragon quest viii. Bravely default was also good too.
