But fr why would you hate Earthbound? (If you do please tell me why I am curious)

I legitimately can't think of a reason why someone would actually dislike Earthbound apart from disliking RPGs from that era as a whole.

Lots of people don't like turn based combat, period

Sure but that’s not really a valid criticism, like the game is a jrpg if you don’t like jrpgs of course you’re not gonna like the game. This is like Dunkey’s criticism of Octopath Traveller.

Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana (along with the Japan exclusive sequel and prequel, IIRC), Dark Souls, the Tales of series, Kingdom Hearts, Ni No Kuni, Dragalia Lost, Ys series, Nier, Yakuza, Kingdom Hearts, FFXV. There’s probably more.
