i don't think i can play normal rpgs again after playing this. it's like a woman being unable to be sexually satisfied after being raped because she knows it will never be as good as that again
>>12516791That's one of the normal rpgs ever made, it's literally a copy of dragon quest
>>12516791For me, it's the "been there, done that" rpg. Played and enjoyed it as a kid, but nowadays I'd rather experience any other rpg in existence.
Male loneliness epidemic
>>12516832Have you played Dragon Quest? It doesn't have things like 8 directional movement, enemies on map, HP rolling meter...Yes, it has elements from DQ, all JRPGs do, but it's not a clone
>>12516791You're being fucking retarded. 2 is the worst of the trilogy.>muh movementWho cares>muh encountersMight as well be random considering most of the maps>b-but despawns!Yeah exactly>rolling HPLiterally doesnt matter until 3
>>12516791sanest earthbound fan
>>12517463>>muh movement>Who cares?>>muh encounters>Might as well be random considering most of the maps?>>b-but despawns!>Yeah exactly?>>rolling HP>Literally doesnt matter until 3it matters more as your party grows and your health gets higher, and enemies start doing more damage. saying that just makes you seem like someone who prefers 3 and gets butthurt if someone has a different opinion.
>>12517481>You're being fucking retarded.
I wish i was pretty enough to be raped.
>>12517484
>>12517486Unironically better than spamming ? and acting like a fucking retard at least Go back to playing Smash though, faggot
>>12517490>critical hits are called smash attacks in earthbound>ness is later put in super SMASH broswow interesting
>>12517502>literal who RPG character is put in a crossover fighter because of an internal circlejerk >causes thousands of autistics to skip to and wank the weakest entry in a series whoa!
>>12517578you sound incredibly butthurt, have you considered a massage?
>>12516791Kek
>>12517592>Smashfag retard cant do anything except bark its cope word in the face of criticismknew that, try a new trick
>>12517485Ywnbaw
>>12517490You seem deeply unhappy with your life and the saddest thing is the only thing you can think to do about it is try to make it everyone else's problem instead of finding peace within yourself.
>>12517463EarthBound is a game that you need a soul to enjoy.
>>125174633 is cringe bro
>>12516791>suburbs, western :|>suburbs, japan :OOO
>>12517485I've been raped like 5,000 times. It's pretty sweet, would recommend.

I’m playing this game for the first time right now. Lost my save once to a crap emulator but started fresh and am playing as Jeff right now. Really enjoying it. It’s fun and cute and genuinely funny. I loved seeing The Blues Brothers make an appearance.I don’t love sword and sorcery type settings so a lot of RPGs don’t draw me in…playing a game like this though really makes me want to play FF and FE and DQ. And Suikoden.
>>12517872>>12518018>>12518029Smashcattle ahoy, new copes for OP to utilize when he makes this thread another dozen times
>>12518795I encourage you to listen to the musical tracks, whenever they play.Arrive to a new town? Stop and listen to the musical track.Arrive to a new map? Stop and listen.New random encounter? It might have a different theme.Music is phenomenal in all media and can truly decide your nostalgia for whatever experience you had (and have) with it. Jeff's "Snowman" theme is excellent, too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niE24aTdtns
Should I play mother 1 first? Or just start with 2
>>12518870How comfortable are you with DQ2? If you enjoy games like that then Mother 1 is a fine start. If you just want a quirky romp and QOL improvements then EB is probably where you should start.As much as I prefer the world/vibe of Mother 1, most of what people tend to remember/enjoy about the series is in EB.
>>12518870Start with 1, its half the length of 2 and better anyway
>>12518823i played earthbound before smash
>>12519489Same, I remember in school some kid news thing was passed out to the class and a screen shot of Ness and fox fighting was in it. No one knew who Ness was so I explained it and got much the same reaction as those people that seethe about people liking earthbound today. Strange memory to have unlocked, some people just intrinsically hate earthbound it seems.
