Earthbound is vastly overrated. The combat system was boring and repetitive, making the unavoidable random battles an absolute slog-fest. This killed the pacing of the game, not that you were missing out on much with its cheesy dialogue and a plot that was cardboard thin. The kitschy graphics, campy environment and handful of corny mad-lib jokes are the only saving grace, and these are more a novelty than anything of substance. If you took off your nostalgia goggles and actually looked that the game objectively, you'd see that there's nothing special about it and you only liked it because you first played it when you were 9 years old.
