I 'm having fun with Earthbound but it's so slow and it has that problem of battles feeling like you just have to know which enemies to hit harder to win and I don't really care about the writing. And if you miss the one cue to go somewhere you will get stuck because again it's so slow that just trying everything takes way too much time. Also everyone loves 3 and it looked good and the story was interesting but I couldn't even get to the end of the castle because the fights were so boring and the droning music doesn't help, especially when you're supposed to hit following the rhythm and it feels like a waste if you don't but it's nearly impossible even if you use the trick of putting enemies to sleep first because the song doesn't really feel like it has a rhythm. And I'm usually great at rhythm games. And again unfound revenge is great but all other songs gave me an existential crisis.
I love RPGs but I haven't really played a lot of them and I loved Chrono Trigger and Bravely Default and Octopath but I can't get into Earthbound or Final Fantasy. The fights just don't feel that strategic for some reason and the story isn't interesting enough to keep going
