BRAVA EARTHBOUND.
BRAVA
And what the fuck was the point of the condiment system?
>Oh man, waste a slot to carry a packet of salt instead of just having another bag of dragonite!
When I think about it, this game actually kind of does suck. For an RPG, it has no replay value to speak of
>99% linear with no side quests >No party organization to give certain characters priority over others >No unique equipment builds that reward smarter thinking, not harder thinking >No way to truly test your characters skills with the lack of a new game+ feature
Would have been nice to have, but this is give or take: >Alternate party members >Alternate endings >Monster/boss arena
At the end of the day, it's still a VIDEO GAME and not an "interactive experience". You don't cut Gone Home any slack(the hipsters that love Earthbound LOVE Gone Home as well), neither should you with Earthbound.
Reminder Undertale is for faggots (and don't give me that MUH MOTHER 3, I just played it and it still has a lot of the same problems as EB)
Earthbound is cringe. How do you people even call this an "rpg" what the fuck do you roleplay as? A 10 year old fighting trees and booger monsters? I feel bad for you people who had the misfortune to grow up with Pixelshit NES garbage who missed out on true rpg's like Gothic, Fallout, KOTOR and Morrowind.
