Why is it so barebones and generic when compared to SMRPG and M&LSS? 8t was released on a more powerful console than both of them but its so underwhelming and safe.
Most people (myself included) consider Paper Mario to be a worthwhile successor to Mario RPG. I don't understand what the issue is.
>>12512204Regardless of that, it still manages to be funner than smrpg, plus it is peak soul.
>>12512204Is it? Maybe mechanically when compared to ss but it feels more like a "mario world" than srpg and ss did

I played Superstar Saga right after Paper Mario and actively did not like Superstar Saga after enjoying Paper Mario. Very likely I was just tired of turn based combat that replaces the need for strategy with QTEs and the charm of Paper Mario was greater than that of Superstar Saga
It's such a downgrade to SMRPG, it's like they were afraid to make an actual rpg

>>12514415>it's like they were afraid to make an actual rpgGood. Super Mario RPG was just SquareSoft #83651 but with Mario bolted onto the side. Paper Mario actually did some cool stuff with its badge and partner system.
>>12512425Superstar Saga is a bit of a slog, especially around the later parts of the game like the beach PM64 has the exact right amount of enemies
>>12512204Is it? It takes plenty of liberties and does fun stuff with the setting. It doesn't go as far as Mario and Luigi would later, but I think it did more than enough to make even familiar enemies and the like feel refreshing and new.
