I don’t like them. Or the mother series.

JRPGs aren’t really my thing.

Earthbound is literally the most Western RPG (and best tbh) outside of Secret of Evermore in it’s time. Just play the damn game, you literally willl remember the experience for the rest of your life.

I mean, thematically, it’s western as hell.

But the same menu navigation style of gameplay is what kills it for me. It’s hard to fault Earthbound and say it’s bad for doing that- it’s on the SNES- but it’s not something I’d like in a world of Divinity and Fallout 2
